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.
Nobody in their right minds robs a gun store. And almost nobody is ever successful in doing so. These guys would have been dead before they had an opportunity to say, "this is a stick up." These guys apparently didn't even own a gun, which means that they did not have the means to pull off the first part of their plot, much less finish it.
This thing doesn't pass the smell test.
Yep. BS drug hallucinations... no doubt. I'm surprised they didn't fantasize about riding on pink giraffes while doing this.
Is this threat really credible? Two guys!? I'm sure some nuts have threatened McCain and they didn't get a headline.
Dufusses has a "cut down" shotgun (all of 2" shorter than the law allows), thus giving BATFE (never call 'em ATF, that's their "real law enforcement" wanna be tag, they were the BATF, and are now the BATFE, a Five Letter Agency, pretending it's a Three Letter Sgency. They weren't even in the Justice Department until the Homeland Security Act moved them there from Treasury, where they were (un)glorified tax collectors).
Another reason not to elect 0 , we don’t need another holiday.
I think you are nuts. My posting history does not support your silly notions.
Maybe you ate a troll. A very obvous Obama technique.
Actually, you make me laugh.
Those are the suspects from the "Denver" "plot" back in August. There are only two suspects in this case. IOW, the pictures are a red herring.
We got a break in of our local programming. “Breaking News, Barack Obama attempted assassination plot by skinheads...”
Jeez.
Three dumb rednecks plan and plot to kill Obama in tophats and tuxes, but you can go and point a fake gun at Governor Palin and her 7 year old daughter’s head. Or hang an effigy of her.
What in the world?
Why would the ATF be the lead agency in this? This is another fake story.
Clinton's attack dog, James Carville, is one scary looking dude. Don't know how Mary Matalin can stand to be in the same house with him, let alone the same bed. (Although I do suspect much of that is "for effect" public persona", and they do have two kids)
I'll see their 100 or so and raise them 25 million . . .
A founder of the domestic terrorist group, Weather Underground, has no regrets and would do it again.
No Regrets . . . Life With the Weathermen
No regrets .. and "would Mr. Ayers do it all again, he is asked? 'I don't want to discount the possibility,' he said."
A former FBI informant who penetrated the Weather Underground said this..
How many dem' ol' Tennessee boys got Columbia degrees? How many 'dem will still be a planin' and a plottin' years from now and rockin' and rollin' in the White House?
Look like some winners. /s
Sure, you know what all the fiber turns into, don't you?
Looking at the information on Smoking Gun, these guys are jokes. They purchased window chalk and covered Cowart’s car with “racially motivated words and symbols,” including swastikas, and the numbers 88 and 14. Sorry, but this was not a serious plot.
Two dumb rednecks if you don’t count the girlfriend who was driving them around. Go to Smoking Gun for the facts.
The parallels are striking. The only thing that’s keeping this election from being 1933 is the Internet.
Conway Arkansas, not Texas.
Anyone who basis their decision to vote for him because some wacked out skinhead threatedn to kill him are pretty lame. This won't move the needle at all.
Big family. ~8^[]
