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.
How were they gonna get Obama to come to Tennessee? We’re solid for McCain, so we’ve seen hide nor hair of either candidate. It surely doesn’t look like they have the means to leave the state to go after Obama. As a matter of fact, it doesn’t look like they are ever far from their meth lab.
And where in Tennessee is this predominately black school they were gonna blow up? We don’t have a tremendous number of schools like that. Why does the media release information in such small bytes?
When were the court records sealed in the first place, that they're being unsealed now?
How ironic is it that we're unsealing records of a skinhead assassination plot, while sealing Obama's birth records in Hawaii from view?

” Looks like Obama will get the sympathy vote.”
This was my first thought too, and I’m sure the MSM will play it to the hilt.
Aren't those sort of contradictory courses of action?
I'd prefer to BLOAT (I've already been doing it in fact) than BO.
Meth addicts shooting up then shooting their mouths off?
Pretty aggressive plans for these losers. Were these 2 guys planning to assassinate BO before or after decapitating the 102 blacks single-handed?
Not unless a pipe wrench is found at the crime scene.
The records were unsealed today. When did the arrests take place? A few days ago? A few weeks ago? Months????
Get a grip, please !
You've been here long enough to know we ain't about givin' up !
'Cold, dead hands' time may be around the corner, but we'll fight that battle when/if it gets here.
For now, vote like our Republic depended on it, because it surely does !
Take the skinheads bowling.
That's how it helps him. It distracts from his redistributionist statements, and his "dissing" of the Constitution (calling the lack of mandates for the Government to "do things on your behalf", "The tragedy of the Constitution". I guess he hasn't read Art.I, Section 8, which pretty much lays out all the things the government is given power to do, either on our behalf directly, or on behalf of the states, depending on how ones looks at things)
It also makes him into the victim, instead of the would be victimizer of the taxpayers.
Yeah right newbie. A new one. Uhm hum.
These two are no threat, if they were they would have done it.
These are not the same names from Tennessee.
Here's Paul Schlesselman
Glad they got the guys, but it really looks like an MSM puff job. These guys were arrested last Wednesday, but MSM is posting now (an effort to defuse the Obama radio remarks?)
