WASHINGTON (AP) - The ATF says it has broken up a plot to assassinate Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and shoot or decapitate 102 black people in a Tennessee murder spree.
In court records unsealed Monday, agents said they disrupted plans to rob a gun store and target an unnamed but predominantly African-American high school by two neo-Nazi skinheads.

THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.

If you take out the A, T, H, A, N, and I from Jonathan Cain....you get Jon Can....and gosh darn it...HE CAN!

[strangegrey]

by that same logic, if you took the I and the R out of Jon Friga
you get Jon Fag!

Assassination plot targeting Obama disrupted

This country will melt down to the fucking ground if he gets assassinated in office.

I agree with you 100%. It would be catastrophic. Way beyond anything that happened in the '60s.

Whether or not someone supports Obama the mere idea of violent elimination of him should wake all of us up!
What has this country come to when political differences leads to reactionary violence?What is it that he says that triggers such fear and terror? Do those who hate him actually listen to him or just each other?

Nuts should not be reinforced by crazy talk about anti-Americanism and terrorists, all of which is bullshit. Even the right must acknowledge that this is as skewed a perspective as can be concocted. Hyperbole beyond all reason.

Get it together, folks and I don't mean you, Skylorde. I think you are pretty sane, in fact.
Obama will be trying, whether you guys believe it or not, to govern from a perspective of unity or at least cooperation and respect.

I'm sure I will hear about my lemming status or drinking Kool-aid from some of you out there.
I don't care.

Presidential assassinations are catastrophic, period. But the reactionary, violent threats are not reserved just for the lunatic fringe on the right.

Sure, it's a joke, it's a statement, it's symbolic whatever else. Sure.

Morisette says the effigy would be out of bounds at any other time of year, but it's within the spirit of Halloween.

He says "it should be seen as art, and as within the month of October. It's Halloween, it's time to be scary it's time to be spooky."

Sure, says the lunatic CA liberal. Just imagine if it was a white trailer park owner in the South with Obama in effigy. Both ought to be equally out of bounds.

What's good for the goose is good for the gander. Many leftists don't want to accept that, and that's what grinds my gears.

I just read more details of this. These idiots wouldn't even have gotten close to him. This was mostly internet chatter in the first place. Had they tried to act this out, this was going to be their last act. These morons wouldn't have gotten past their first act. Overblown story.

You also get Fang Jo but I'm not sure that means anything.

MORONS.

Aren't you the same guy, who in this very thread, swore that there was no possible way that anyone would ever even contemplate assassinating Obama. I think you went on to say you had a problem with him seeking Secret Service protection before he was the actual nominee, because nobody would ever be a threat to his life. Do I have you confused with someone else?

No, it's not overblown. Assuming these dorks were incompentent, you still cannot discount the fact there are people in this country who will be so very pissed off if Obama wins ... just because he's black.

I'd be willing to bet the Secret Service agents are quietly hoping McCain wins, otherwise they are really going to earn their pay over the next four years

[S2M]

There are freakshows like this in the world....

[Lula]

okay so i'm not alone in my lameness gee sorry tito, hate to bore with my feeble attempt at humor

how about ted stevens, the longest serving senator in the republican party?

this must be "the chalet"

"A federal grand jury in the District accused Stevens of concealing on financial disclosure statements lucrative gifts from the now-defunct oil company Veco and its top executives, including a Viking gas grill, a tool cabinet and a wraparound deck. At one point, Veco employees and contractors jacked up the senator's mountainside house on stilts and added a new first floor, with two bedrooms and a bathroom, the indictment says."

What year do you live in? Sure there are but they are the very, very small minority. IF he gets shot, it will not be by a white racist. They are too stupid. I don't think a skinhead will be able to get close to Obama. Plus, these groups are so inflitrated by the feds now any potential threat (like this) will be nipped very early.

Every president gets threats. You don't think Bush got any? Clinton? The internet may make the chatter more public and transparent but there is not more talk (for lack of a better word) going on than before.

He sucks! This is not associated with Palin. There are a whole host of democrats that could go on the list. And more republicans.

It may happen even if he loses. Or wins for that matter. I know the Chicago P.D. and fire department are planning for both.

news flash folks...presidential candidates get secret service protection....I don't know why some in this thread think otherwise...

[Tito]

I'm not talking about now when he is an official party nominee. I'm talking about when he first announced and was just a (one of 20+ (both parties combined)) candidate. To my knowledge Hillary was the only other candidate with Secret Service protection and that was because she gets that as a former first lady. Obama's was excessive and rivaled the President's protection.

Who said he didn't? And what planet are they from??? Ever since Bobby Kennedy in '68.
