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.

That’s the third person I’ve ever seen/been aware of in my life with the name “Tharin” (or some variation thereof). The other two were complete losers as well. Momma’s don’t let your baby’s grow up to be Tharins.

Or some people might not vote for him thinking that if he gets killed, Biden would be president.

These guys really look sophisticated enough to pull a plot that could get past the Secret Service.

Not.

Unsealed court records?? Does this mean this plot was discovered some time ago?

The word "plot" is extremely kind to these fellers... I suspect that they wouldn't be able to execute a 'plot' more intricate than opening a pop-top beer can.

I don’t have all the EXACT details and I know how exact you all are on here. BUT the stage is being set for something.

2 black kids killed at a campus in Texas, looking for 4 suspects...bet they will be white...they haven’t said, or I haven’t heard.

A black man run over by a truck by 2 white guys a few days ago. Again...I believe Texas.

Now we have this so called assasination attempt. I feel like we are sitting on a powder-keg.

Constitution being shredded before our eyes.

IT ALL STINKS!!

Just one more staged event to halt his slippage in the polls.

Absoultely, along with the Stevens verdict coming out so conveniently today.

We are dealing with pure evil, folks.

That one on the right looks like the hillbilly from the Simpsons.

There's also a resemblance to those two inbred guys that are pictured with drool all down the front of their shirts.
