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.

As much as I hate skinheads, this is setting off manipulation sensors in my brain.

But don’t they fail at being “skin”heads. And when did skinheads become metrosexual with the hair dye and stuff?

"assassination is never the answer"
It may never be appropriate but history reveals it was often the answer. (It isn't now.)

Were there any reporters from Florida involved? How long will their “tough questions” go unanswered?

Not 100 skinheads. TWO skinheads with a “plot” to kill Obama and 102 blacks, or whatever. The headlines are making it sound like a sizeable conspiracy. Anything but, apparently. Probably why Drudge pulled back.

The Klan types are more left than right these days.

They have always been, they don't believe in individual liberty at all- they believe in regulated liberty based on race.

I dislike Obama as much as the next guy, but I’m certainly glad they didn’t succeed. Vile scum like the would-be assassins have no place in our Republic.

ATF announced it. Neil Cavuto reported that the people who were behind the plot were a group of skinheads from Arkansas/Tennessee.

Bingo. I don’t believe this at all. He’s just playing the racecard to make African Americans mad enough to get out and vote for him. He learned well from his mentor the Rev. Wright, playing the KKKA business.

The KKK was the enforcment arm of southern democrats to surpress blacks.

MLK a republican was shot by JER a southern democrat.

I want to scream BS! “Plots” of this kind are fantasies these guys jerk off to. I bet this story has that much reality, some racist goon’s wet dream, no doubt duly reported by the nearest BATF informant.
