    Default Assassination plot targeting Obama disrupted

    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."

    Attempts? Yes. Success? No.

    The Secret Service will be pretty hardcore on this one. Serious threats to his life will be assumed 24/7 in every possible place he goes. He'll have the best security it is possible to have in this world, and the crazies who would actually want to kill him aren't clever enough to get around that.

    What Tincow said.

    Even these idiots didn't think they'd get close to Obama.

    They couldn't manage to kill Bush, so I doubt they'll have any better luck with Obama.

    If Obama goes too far in trying to change the country, I wouldn't rule out the crazies getting some help from mighty large corporations who might be too greatly affected by this "change" Obama wishes to make.

    Isn’t that exactly what the crazy race haters would want?

    I would give this a positive maybe. I’ll bet there are already a fringe percentage making plans but if he starts doing crazy pandering you can count on the fringe growing and his safety decreasing. The secret service is only so good.

    With all of those Secret Service guards (Presumably een more would be hired) and the FBI keeping a close eye on would-be assassins I don't think there is a good chance of Obama being assassinated. That said I certainly wouldn't want to be the guy who sold him life insurance.

    Of course it's built in. I just think a warning label like those on a pack of cigs is the least we can do in the interest of public health.

    I agree. I'd even be for suspending the Constitution to mandate that neonazis and skinheads and white supremists get tattooed. :D

    Honestly though I don't think it would work. A tattoo on their nether regions saying "Caution: Infected with Herpes" would give us a greater end result. :D

    Probably true. If my High School experiences are any guide, quite a number of gals found "stupid" irresistably sexy.

    That and "undereducated with possible criminal intent, and no job." It's rare to find guys like that who don't get sex... but ironically, guys with no job but are otherwise decent guys, will stay single for years. ;)

    I guess evolution-wise, at least the jerk might stand a chance of providing for you by killing someone else for things or stealing.

    This is funny because I was just thinking the same thing today. Not in a pissed off sort of way, I just kind of pondered why exactly. Evolutionary instinct came to mind.

    Now on Topic:

    I do believe someone will try to kill Obama during his term(S) as president, but they will fail miserabilty. Like it's been said, secret service will protect Obama very well.

    I voted yes. There'll definitely be at least one high profile attempt, but as for whether it will be successful - who knows?

    Yes but the poll asks whether he will be assassinated rather than whether a plot will be successful.

    Most presidents have assasination attempts, why would the next president be any different. I doubt they'll be successful though, the secret service is some of the best security on the planet. But even Bush has come close, saved by a defect in a grenade.

    Lee Harvey Oswald was pretty hardcore trained, but even arguably he lucked out in his attempt, and that was back in the early '60s. Times have changed significantly. I can't say for sure that he won't be assassinated, so I withheld from saying no outright, though my instincts tell me it would be very very unlikely.

    It wouldn't suprise me if there was an attempt, hell I'm expecting there to be at least a few. As long as the Secret Service keeps up the good work they shouldn't be successful. (Clicked yes, but would lean more to maybe if he's unlucky).

    Weird though, I watched Bobby this morning, which I enjoyed.
