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.

Probably a few worthless Methheads talking crap in a junkyard with barking pit bulls. I doubt they had any “plot” to pull something off. These people are too stupid for that.

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

No doubt. The question is if he will get a sympathy bump out of this promotional event.

That’s a lot of skinhead’s I think it would be obivous if they showed up to an Obama rally.

Absolutely, but the whole thing is fishy... The timing is fishy... The MSM will stop at NOTHING in an attempt to stop McCain's momentum...

IMHO, this, coupled with Steven's conviction, will seal the deal.

Hanging Palin in effigy is incitement to assassinate her.

Idiots. I may be naive but how does this help Obama in the polls? Someone wasn’t going to vote for him but since they heard about the assassination plot now they’re more inclined to vote for him? I’m not seeing that.

OK reporters, let’s get moving on this. How about some dates, times? What’s the name of the ATF agents? How long has this investigation been going on? Why the release of information now? Did something just happen? Nope. Instead our crack media will start talking about the tragedy in Dallas, etc, etc.

NAZIs and muslims have quite a history of cooperation.

The only possible explanations are that (a) it was done by someone who really wants Obama to win, or (b) it was done by someone who has lost their mind.

Set a = Set b

Those mouth-breathers would not be able to assassinate a gold fish.

Bets on how long it takes to expose this as a fraud? I will place a bet of whatever, that the media will not report it when it is exposed.


That’s exactly what this is. Total BS. They’ve probably had this planned since last year.

They look like inbred mountain genetic defectives. Wasn’t Nathan Johnson Steve Martin’s character in “The Jerk”?
