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.

Crap, this crap could really help prop up a sympathy vote.

That would be the plan...

I wouldn’t doubt a second civil war breakin out. But I think the outcome will be different from the first one. The south has an extra bag of ‘tators and a few more mules this time around.

I thought I remember seeing these 3 pictures on Free Republic sometime last year (maybe) regarding another race crime of some sort. I remember people making fun of the name “John Robert Adolf”, etc.

I’m just sure of it.

According to this story, the names of the suspects are “Daniel Cowart, 20, of Bells, Tennessee and Paul Schlesselman, 18, of West Helena”

http://www.kait8.com/Global/story.asp?S=9246347&nav=menu67_2

That does not match the names of the 3 suspects in the August plot.

If people thought about it: there will likely be more attempts on his life should he win the election and that increases the possibility that one will be successful.

If they are successful, then Biden becomes president.

Do we really want to elect someone who’s so likely to be assassinated and leave us with Biden?

Absolutely. And try to imagine the treatment a Conservative organization would get, if it had terrorists in it’s midst.

Here we have Ayers/Dohrn currently serving prominently at Universities, on boards, and getting the respect only a die hard purist citizen should be deserving of.

Our Universities are a pox on this nation. A lot of these foundations like the Anenberg foundation are as well.

Pumping hundreds of millions of dollars into poor communities, garners a lot of support for certain lifestyles and political groups.

Barack should be proud. /s

About the author

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.

You are correct; I saw post # 260 but not # 287, which lists the different names.

They look like family trees don’t fork.

They may fork, but the tines are intertwined.

The headline is still there- but not in CAPS and not in red.

From the FoxNews article:

“The men, Daniel Cowart, 20, of Bells, Tenn., and Paul Schlesselman 18, of West Helena, Ark., are being held without bond. Agents seized a rifle, a sawed-off shotgun and three pistols from the men when they were arrested. Authorities alleged the two men were preparing to break into a gun shop to steal more.”

Ok, so 2 skinheads with 5 guns were going to kill 102 people and Senator Obama?
