Any idea of when this plot was actually discovered? A year ago? Yesterday?

OK I’m definitely confused as to how two guys plan to attack a High School AND a presidential candidate. Article is poorly written. Sounds like these guys first needed to steal guns.

Don’t take any assasination talk lightly but this is unclear at best.

Glad these guys got caught. Sounds like they were a long way from an attempt.

As much as I hate skinheads, this is setting off manipulation sensors in my brain.

Who is Lara Jakes Jordan?

For starters, she is married to veteran Democratic Party operative Jim Jordan, the former executive director of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and manager of Sen. John Kerry's presidential bid.

Not surprisingly, the Massachusetts Democrat was among the first to criticize Santorum's remarks, using it as an opportunity to attack the White House. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if Kerry got an advance copy of the article given his connections.
