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.

How were they gonna get Obama to come to Tennessee? We’re solid for McCain, so we’ve seen hide nor hair of either candidate. It surely doesn’t look like they have the means to leave the state to go after Obama. As a matter of fact, it doesn’t look like they are ever far from their meth lab.

And where in Tennessee is this predominately black school they were gonna blow up? We don’t have a tremendous number of schools like that. Why does the media release information in such small bytes?

There are no dates in this story.

When were the court records sealed in the first place, that they're being unsealed now?

How ironic is it that we're unsealing records of a skinhead assassination plot, while sealing Obama's birth records in Hawaii from view?

One of the stories mentions that attorney Joe Byrd has been hired by one of the guys. Seems kind of pricey for a skinhead, if I have the right guy.

” Looks like Obama will get the sympathy vote.”

This was my first thought too, and I’m sure the MSM will play it to the hilt.

All that’s left to say is BOHICA and BLOAT!

Aren't those sort of contradictory courses of action?

I'd prefer to BLOAT (I've already been doing it in fact) than BO.

Pretty aggressive plans for these losers. Were these 2 guys planning to assassinate BO before or after decapitating the 102 blacks single-handed?

I don’t see how this helps him in the polls at all. It will, however, take his 2001 audio tape off the front page. I wonder when it actually happened and why the release of the info now?

That's how it helps him. It distracts from his redistributionist statements, and his "dissing" of the Constitution (calling the lack of mandates for the Government to "do things on your behalf", "The tragedy of the Constitution". I guess he hasn't read Art.I, Section 8, which pretty much lays out all the things the government is given power to do, either on our behalf directly, or on behalf of the states, depending on how ones looks at things)

It also makes him into the victim, instead of the would be victimizer of the taxpayers.

A buddy of mine brought a skin head over to my house about 10 years ago. He worked construction with the guy. This dude looked evil with all the tats,shaved head,etc. He had a cassette tape he wanted me to hear. It was a produced audio of people in a bar talking about their hate for Jews,Blacks and Catholics. He took a shot at recruiting me. I thought the tape was funny as hell and laughed out loud. He got PO’d and asked me if I was catholic. I told him I was and he stated that Catholicism is “Bizarre.” This asshat worshiped Thor!! I asked him if he worshiped any other Marvel characters,like The Silver Surfer. Needless to say I told my buddy to NEVER bring this friutcake around my house ever again! The last I heard he was cooling his heels in the can for throwing a shopping cart through the back window of a car because the guy took his parking spot. Moral of the story: Skinheads aren't very bright.

Glad they got the guys, but it really looks like an MSM puff job. These guys were arrested last Wednesday, but MSM is posting now (an effort to defuse the Obama radio remarks?)
