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.

Close, but not exactly:

That’s Navin R. Johnson, typical random bastard.

"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."

Great Idea! Be sure to vote early and often. ;-)

Wasn’t there a tweaker plot around the time of the Dem Convention, that ended with all parties set free with no assassination plot charges?

Sounds similar to this, and how conveniently timed to displace the tapes that just surfaced about our fundamentally flawed constitution!

If this was a plot from months ago, I’m going to have to admit to wondering why this topic needed to be broached now.

You're saying it's like the timing of the housing crisis (that had been known about for 2 years)...

See post #260 - this was originally reported in August.

Actually, this sort of crap is precisely how weak minds calling themselves ‘undecided’ at this late stage are swayed to vote in sympathy. Pay attention

the story is an overblown hoax by 24/7 hype central at fox news .The same idiots that gave us the katrina hoax.
go volunteer and get off the site for a few days .
many poster here are obama posters trying to get you depressed.
your post was sounding like one .
we worked in reno this weekend and it was busy and all the voters are met in the field were scared and fed up with Obama.
if you in a non contested state you make calls to the BG states in the office .

I don’t buy it. A plot to kill the Dem Nominee and kill other African Americans in a giant show of racist brutality...

To me it smells like the Axelrod playing the race card again.

The timing of the announcement is equally suspect.

I wish people would stop posting the pictures of those three goofballs. They don’t have anything to do with this “case.” I think those guys were the idiots from the Colorado plot in August.

Obama just won the election

Sorry, but it doesn't work that way. People actually have to vote and hen we find out who won.

If it’s true, I’m glad they caught these jerks.

It could easily be true. Candidates of both parties are the subject of plots and threats all the time. But as we all know, the coverage of such thwarted plots will be for Obama only. Plots against McCain will get a passing mention at best.

this sounds like they were just talking about it to one another probably at some honky tonk.

More likely someone in the ATF chain of command PRESUMED that Obama was in danger, and pushed for that angle.

Or perhaps one of these 'skinheads' happened to live within five miles of an Obama yard sign.... and that was evidence enough for some aggressive law enforcement official.
