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.
I do NOT believe it.
Oh please how many so called plot were there against Bush that were never reported as breaking news.
the Obama media and Obama want to redirect the news cycle !
It did happen in August. One of the guys’ photo is at your link.

Someone is bringing this story back up for a reason.
Don’t be so quick to say it’s a fraud - Ocam’s razor says its more likely to be real than a fraud.
Just guessing by the looks of those yahoos the assisination attempt didn’t real have much brains behind it.
Nonetheless, kudos to the ATF for grabbing these guys. Weird that it was the ATF though, wouldn’t this be something for the FBI, SS, or even local cops?
I couldn’t follow that either. I try not to take this kind of talk lightly at all (the Secret Service said they had fielded LOTS of calls about the Palin in the noose mannequin out in West Hollywood, CA and were investigating), but ‘unclear’ is an understatement until we have more details. This just sounds bizarre & the timing is very poor. The court records were unsealed today the Breitbart article said... so the plot was prevented sometime previous.
To coincide with the carefully planned death of his grandmother.
If indeed this is true, then it is disturbing but in reality are we really that shocked? While race relations have changed there is still a lot of racism on both sides of the aisle regardless of what state they are in. Good job on behalf of the Secret Service/FBI for exposing this. While I am not an Obozo fan, I think this would be a truly sad blight on our country if an assassination attempt took place
regulated should be regulating
My guess two guys talking about how they hate Obama. Obama needed to get his hatred for the Constitution & his wealth redistribution plans off Drudge main page.
We are being manipulated again.
None of the 3 cable news channels are discussing it. Weird.
LOL!
What attempt? That's exactly what the MSM wants people to believe.
Maybe the headline should be changed?
Me too. I was also thinking that the ATF is probably the most corrupt and out of control agency in government.
