Neo Nazi's plot to kill Obama

[freedom lover]

Apparently some Neo-nazis planned to go on a killing spree:

WASHINGTON (AP) - Federal agents have broken up a plot to assassinate Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and shoot or decapitate 102 black people in a Tennessee murder spree, 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.

Jim Cavanaugh, special agent in charge of the Nashville field office for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, said the two men planned to shoot 88 black people and decapitate another 14. The numbers 88 and 14 are symbolic in the white supremacist community.

The men also sought to go on a national killing spree, with Obama as its final target, Cavanaugh told The Associated Press.

"They said that would be their last, final act - that they would attempt to kill Sen. Obama," Cavanaugh said. "They didn't believe they would be able to do it, but that they would get killed trying."

An Obama spokeswoman traveling with the senator in Pennsylvania had no immediate comment.

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.

Attorney Joe Byrd, who has been hired to represent Cowart, did not immediately return a call seeking comment Monday.

Cowart and Schlesselman are charged with possessing an unregistered firearm, conspiring to steal firearms from a federally licensed gun dealer, and threatening a candidate for president.

The investigation is continuing, and more charges are possible, Cavanaugh said.

It seems like the plan wasn't well thought out. Rob a gun shop?!

Sounds like a good way to get shot.

Nope. Sounds like someone in the Obama campaign administration promised the ATF a big green light, and all the toys and powers and budget they could ever desire if they found something at the last minute to "bust" that would make Obama look like a victim and help him get elected.

This sounds like the sort of thing (stupid morons with a thankfully unworkable plot) that gets busted on a daily basis, but releasing it as NEWS like this makes Obama look like a victim, oh, don't you feel sorry for Obama, maybe you'll vote for him now because bad guys were going to kill him.

Think about it. ATF. Obama administration. PARADISE for what they love doing most.

This says they were planning to do the assassination in white tuxedos and top hats.  Bozos like this would never get anywhere near Obama.  I doubt they would make it past the gun shop robbery.

I wonder if calling these guys Neo Nazi's is an insult to Neo Nazis?

Like I said, this sort of clueless dorks get busted all the time, but making it news now helps Obama.

ATF wants an Obama administration. A Cav Arms every week till all the dealers are gone.

[grampster]

They probably wouldn't even get in the gun shop door.  One would trip and shoot the other, who would then shoot the shooter.  High comedy on U toob.

[freedom lover]

I think most crazy people are too dumb to make an ingenious plot and most intelligent people who want to assassinate leaders don't want to face the consequences if they fail.

[ilbob]

I wonder if this will turn out to be another one of those situations where someone "encouraged" them to do this, or at least claim they are going to do it. Possibly someone associated with the BATFE?

I may not like his politics, but I can't support anything along these lines.  Glad they busted them.

mmm cake

Well, I think we all know that inside every Republican is a homicidal, racist skinhead trying to get out, and that only the ATF stands between good Americans and crazy no-good, liquor'd-up cowboys.

....who cling to their guns and religion.

[stevelyn]

If it involves the jack-booted, sturmtruppen thug bastards of the Waffen BATFEces, I doubt the credibility of the story and threat.

If they'll lie in court under oath, they won't hesitate to release false information to the public.

[Headless Thompson Gunner]

Maybe I'm too cynical, but I don't buy any of this.  Why should I believe this assassination plot nonsense is for real?  Because the media is reporting it?  Because the ATF says it's so?  Gimme a break.

[Wildalaska]

methinks a bunch of big mouth losers who yakked themselves into some adverse attention from the Feds....good job BATFers!!!!!! (I read the affidavit and it was a local cop bust where they called the Gun Cops in).....

Finally!  Someone that understands me!

And nothing regarding the interesting timing of this news release?

As I said, this happens all the time, and it's not news. Unless it's right before the election for the candidate they would want.

[Perd Hapley]

It sells, dude.  No conspiracy required. 

[Manedwolf]

Well, since when does BATFE do this, rather than the Secret Service investigating a credible threat?

One of the goofy suckers had a shotgun with a 16" barrel.

White tuxes and top hats, shooting out through the windows of a car whilst charging the Secret Service. All hail the brain trust.

Well....that would explain the fishy smell I'm smelling from this...

[K Frame]

Oh for Christ's sake...  :rolleyes:


It's THEM! Manipulating and machinating every little detail! THEY control it all! THEY release what THEY want to when THEY see that it will do THEIR agenda the most good!


Holy hell, disengage the "everything is a conspiracy controlled by THEM!" gear. It's stripped your brain pans.

Of course it has NOTHING to do with the fact that for the past several months Obama has been looking more and more like he's going to be the next president elect.  No, NOTHING at all with anything like that... :rolleyes:

Of course it has nothing to do with the fact that these two do not have nuclear physicist-caliber smarts, and very likely barely break 100 IQ added together...

Some people just don't feel secure unless they have some nefarious conspiracy about which to quiver, quake, and rail. Well, at least you could talk to these two clowns on their own level...

[grampster]

Hold muh beer, bubba and watch this.

[Don't care]

If these morons had decided to go after McCain, the press would have painted their plans as more as civil disobedience, than an plan to assassinate the GOP candidate.

After all, they would have had "legitimate" reasons; and that's only if the press would have published anything at all.
