Anything you say, Mr. Modera-

Oh, you’re not a moderator?

That makes a difference, doesn’t it?

“Reichstag Fire?”

Indeed.

A rather transparent attempt to capture the news cycle.

(And I say that as a Jewish guy; not exactly the favorite of skinheads.)

Staged using the ATF? How is that a possibility?

Oh likely the "plot", by *two* hyped up meth heads, was real enough, but the timing, and the mere fact, of it's unsealing was controled by BATFE.

Lets just say they have a vested interest in a candidate who would pass more federal gun control, and shield current laws from the fallout from the Heller decision.

Sounds staged to try and offset any potential Bradley-effect.

Or to accentuate the "White Guilt"/"reverse Bradley effect"

Addendum:

Shouldn’t the Secret Service or FBI be handling any contact with the press considering this is supposed to be a plot against a Presidential candidate? Just sayin’ I could be wrong.

unsealed info suggests juveniles involved

Also, article suggests a past investigation... just in time to try to cover up Obamassiah's redistribution of wealth statement

I wonder who decided to unseal the records, and why now.

Yeah right newbie. A new one. Uhm hum.

Interesting technique, indylindy...your trolling is so over-the-top, it just begs to be criticized as obvious trolling.

But in doing so, I give you the reaction you desperately wanted. Artistry, I must say!

Undecideds are already breaking 2:1 for McCain in the IBD/TIPP poll. I think this story would hurt Obama with undecideds, maybe even more than the redistribution tape would. By the way, just today there have been over 1 million views of that interview on youtube, so I don’t think its going anywhere but up.

I agree with you - it just might be “cold dead hands” time, very shortly...

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.

"They said that would be their last, final act -- that they would attempt to kill Sen. Obama," Cavanaugh said. "They didn't believe they would be able to do it, but that they would get killed trying."

According to the affidavit, the suspects planned "to drive their vehicle as fast as they could toward Obama shooting at him from the windows."

The court document states that the suspects planned to dress in all-white tuxedos and top hats during the assassination attempt, and that they stated they were willing to die during this attempt.

This sounds like a joke. Probably a couple of guys who got drunk and met one another on the Internet exchanging fantasies. Top hats and white tuxedos? Knew that they probably wouldn't be successful? Give me a break.

Remember William Jewell? Let’s get some facts before passing judgment. No one is in favor of political assassinations, but the facts as presented so far, appear to be sensationalized. Is there a poltical agenda at work?

It will be exposed as a fraud next Wednesday.

Nope. By next Wed it will be a major motion picture... Skinheads will be actually members of the Blackwater Security. Financing will be from Halliburton. Palin will be a main conspirator. It will also be discovered that the same group organized an assassination of the Dear Leader glorious father in Kenya (yes, it was no car accident!). The same group was also involved with the theft of Dear Leader original birth certificate, manipulations with the Dear Leader glorious mind (causing multiple gaffs in public appearances), replacing salt with cocaine and other horrific deeds.

You can read the affadavit for the warrent at the Smoking Gun

The BATFE didn't "break up the plot", nor even discover it. They were responding to information from the local sheriff's office. Guy had a shotgun cut down to a 16" barrel, 2" less than the max allowed with a special permit. That's why they were called in, the genetic defectives were (allegedly) violating the National Firearms Act.
