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.

This sounds like a “change the subject from obamas 2001 tape” ploy

These nuts do more damage to our side than Obama ever could on his own.

They aren't on "our side". Real skinhead types would feel exactly the same about McCain/Palin as they do Obama.

This will drown out “Redistributing the wealth” tonight.

Unfortunately so. The drivebys will be all over this story until next tuesday to drown out any negative stories that emerge about Hussein.

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.

Isn't that one in the same?

“Well, that’s one way to knock the ‘Obama Marxist Comments’ off the top of Drudge.”

I was just thinking McCain finally digs up a game changer on Obama and zing, something pushes it off the front page.

That tin foil hat is starting to fit better every day.
