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.

“Reminded how Palpatine used an assassination
“attempt” to gain power.”

Palpatine was a movie character, not a real person...you do know that right?

They aren't on "our side". Real skinhead types would feel exactly the same about McCain/Palin as they do Obama.

Oh I agree 100%! It's a National Socialist Party for a reason. I just meant that we get the blame, even if it's not deserved. The media knows that the uninformed will buy into the lie that they're republicans showing their true colors instead of socialists showing their true colors. Ironic that they would target a fellow socialist for assassination, but they'd do the exact same thing if it were a black republican running, something the media would never admit.

Could attempt to spin this another way. I don’t want anything like that to happen to Obama, so I won’t put him in harms way by voting for him for President.

“Didn’t this originally happen in August “

The photos are linked from the LA Times archive of August 2008 so I think you’re right.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The ATF says it has broken up a plot to assassinate Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and shoot or decapitate 102 black people in a Tennessee murder spree.

In court records unsealed Monday, agents said they disrupted plans to rob a gun store and target an unnamed but predominantly African-American high school by two neo-Nazi skinheads.

While the same MSM ignored the picture of the Halloween dummy of the hanging Gov. Sarah. Hypocrits!

I went to Yahoo Photos to look for new Sarah pics from the trail...guess which photo leads the gallery.

They look like Methheads to me.

Crazy people come in all colors. And their only loyalty is to no party or person,but only to their own personal demons.
