Feds disrupt alleged skinhead plot to kill Obama

Mon Oct 27, 10:05 PM EDT

Two white supremacists allegedly plotted to go on a national killing spree, shooting and decapitating black people and ultimately targeting Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, federal authorities said Monday.

In all, the two men whom officials described as neo-Nazi skinheads planned to kill 88 people — 14 by beheading, according to documents unsealed in U.S. District Court in Jackson, Tenn. The numbers 88 and 14 are symbolic in the white supremacist community.

The spree, which initially targeted an unidentified predominantly African-American school, was to end with the two men driving toward Obama, "shooting at him from the windows," the court documents show.

"Both individuals stated they would dress in all-white tuxedos and wear top hats during the assassination attempt," the court complaint states. "Both individuals further stated they knew they would and were willing to die during this attempt."

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

9. WOW, forgive me for having a fuckin' job, and not being "plugged in" 25/8

I saw the article and saw NO comments on it at DU. (Later, I did see a few isolated, poorly responded to, posts on the topic).

You "not breaking" people are missing the point. This is McCain/Palin/Limbaugh/Hannity/O'Reilley-styled hate coming home to roost.

If, god forbid, anything happens to Barack, it will be those hate-mongers who bear the blame.
