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.

Um, why were Kerry and Gore supporters not rioting and burning cars? Um, why were police not expecting Kerry and Gore supporters to riot and burn cars??

But it's racism that causes the riots...

It seems to me there might be some confusion of this thread. Of course it could be me that is confused.

Someone on the first page posted the pic of the 3 guys accused of the “plot” during the convention. Which turned out to be much ado about nothing. Kind of as a reminder that we’ve seen this type of story overblown before.

And now people are under the impression that this the the same plot just rehashed. It doesn’t seem to be. The convention plot was to supposedly shoot him while he was giving a speech.

This one deals with a mass shooting and decapitation. 2 “plots.” Different suspects.

Not to excuse a bunch of racists, but this sounds like they were just talking about it to one another probably at some honky tonk.

Moonbat time.

Someone is bringing this story back up for a reason.”

Drudge has dropped this story totally. It looks like he figured out it as an August story someone was trying to recycle to push the redistribution interveiw off the front page.

If there was a serious plot to assassinate him, I’m glad the planners were caught.

I agree. We can condemn evil people who think they're on our side. They're NOT. Also, we don't give these kind of people jobs teaching in the local college.

These skinheads should be condemned - so should Bill Ayers and the left wing crazies.

Just one more staged event to halt his slippage in the polls.

Exactly. My BS meter has gone up a few notches...

It all fits in to the "playing the race card" scheme.

This is insane! If we the people do not reject this man based on what he believes and has shown he will do of a Marxist nature to America, using our votes as the sovereigns, we sure aren't going to improve the nation with assassinations of idiots like Obamatron. We the people must not tolerate or in any way entertain the transitions of power via assassinations!

ABC will have orgasms over this crap, proving again that they have an agenda. Listen carefully folks, the real fifth column enemy within this nation will never address the notions I have just written. The Obama-septic tank media will use this entirely as a means to add to Obama's votes, and never address the necessity for peaceful transitions of power as the means to keep our Republic.

Sure, but many people real and fake have used assassination attempts to gain popularity

IF a person knew when Hitler was rising to power in Germany what Hitler would do....who among us could have pulled the trigger? THAT is what makes this so scary...Obama has all the ear marks of tearing down everything we know America is.

1. Suspected to have been born in Kenya.
2. Brought up under radical anti-american religious beliefs.
3. Marxists comments..socialist agenda.
4. voter fraud to get him in office.

I personally am very worried...for all of us!!
