Government Foils Skinhead Plot to Assassinate Obama [court records unsealed just before elections]

Skinheads planned to kill Obama and 102 others in Tennessee.

Federal agents have disrupted a plot to assassinate Barack Obama and shoot or decapitate dozens of black students in Tennessee, the ATF said Monday. 

In court records unsealed Monday, federal agents said they disrupted plans to rob a gun store and target a predominantly African-American high school by two neo-Nazi skinheads. Agents said the skinheads did not identify the school by name. 

A source in the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives told FOX News that the two skinheads, who were picked up in Crockett County, Tenn., were plotting to shoot 88 black students and decapitate 14 others described as non-whites. The source said officials believe the suspects were planning to attempt an assassination against Obama. 

The numbers 88 and 14 are symbolic in the white supremacist community. 

But officials could not describe how advanced or credible the plot was, nor could they say if they had contacted the Obama campaign. 

Jim Cavanaugh, special agent in charge of the Nashville field office for the ATF, said the suspects also sought to go on a national killing spree, with Obama as its final target.

The Klan types are more left than right these days. I won’t make a clickable link to the scumbag’s page but David Duke supports Cindy Sheehan and the Klan holds anti war rallies.

I'm glad also.

As to the "sympathy vote" many folks now might think it is too dangerous to have him In the Oval office. This also might cause other "gangs" to feel it is necessary for "retaliation" . Serious situation all around.

“I would say it is a ploy for the sympathy vote.”

Of course.

>Here’s my question...since when did the ATF get involved in breaking up assassination plots? Isn’t that an FBI/Secret Service affair?

Good question. I was thinking the same thing.
