ATF: ‘SKINHEAD’ PLOT TO KILL OBAMA AND 102 BLACKS DISRUPTED BY THE ALCOHOL, TOBACCO, and FIREARMS AGENCY!
An ATF agent apparently was undercover inside this skinhead gang and disrupted the plot.
Two neo-Nazi skinheads have been arrested.
Another plan was also thwarted that included targeting a predominantly black high school and kill as many people as possible.

UPDATE 1: breitbart.com
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.
UPDATE 2: My Fox Chicago is also reporting the story. The story on MFC says that court records were unsealed about this plot, so this plot may not have been a recent attempt at Barack Obama’s life.
UPDATE 3: MSNBC.com
WASHINGTON - A plot by two Neo-Nazi skinheads to assassinate Barack Obama and kill dozens of other African Americans has been foiled, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms said Monday.
Daniel Cowart, 20, of Bells, Tenn., and Paul Schlesselman, 18, of West Helena, Ark., were charged Friday with making threats against a presidential candidate, illegal possession of a sawed-off shotgun and conspiracy to rob a gun store.
Jim Cavanaugh, special agent in charge of the Nashville ATF field office, said the two men sought to go on a national killing spree that included an unnamed African-American school, with Obama as their final target.
The two planned to shoot 88 black people and decapitate another 14, he added. The numbers 88 and 14 are symbolic in the white supremacist community.
“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.”
The two men were arrested in Crockett County, Tenn., and have already made a court appearance.
The plot unraveled when one of the men was arrested on other charges and in the course of interviews he revealed plans for the plot.
According to court records, the pair discussed robbing a gun shop in order to gather weapons and ammunition to use in a “killing spree.”
It sounds like this plot was disrupted awhile ago since court documents were just released and unsealed today.
This could be a case of, “There’s nothing new here, but lets create a panic.”
UPDATE 4:
This undated photo obtained from a MySpace webpage shows Daniel Cowart, 20 of Bells, Tenn. holding a weapon.

UPDATE 5: Tennessean.com reports:
“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.”…
“They seemed determined to do it,” Cavanaugh said. “Even if they were just to try it, it would be a trail of tears around the South.”
Tuxedos?
Do these guys think they are James Bond?

Now we have evidence of what was previously suspected Skinheads like kill-hearts white supremacists are all in the same and friends of McCain/Pulin and now sure connected to the GOP (Republicans). People that are pay and hired to create panic that’s what this administration has created right form the beginning. At the end who do not see this connection is blind: rednecks, white supremacists are run by the support of the same governmental elite: these two creatures that apparently were plotting against the United States of America Savior are economically supported by the Republicans.
The day any of these sick psychos attempt against Obama: America’s streets will be cover with blood and America will NEVER be the same, and its greatness will be whipped out of the Universe, and skinhead fucks will disappear as well. Be carful if you want to preserve your existence use you skull, before any attempt. White is just like another color, but it turns read when is possess or sick psycho. I am white and ready to attack those monster skinheads.

LOL Smartie…
We get all sorts of folks on Scoop This.
I am sure Bill Ayers has done more harm to American than two idiot skinheads that, honestly, accomplished nothing except to run their mouths off.

You can say “LOL smartie” again Carlos!
How come the stupider a comment is on this blog, the more likely it is that its liberal author gives himself a self proclaiming name like “smartie” or “realist in a room full of idiots?”
Smartie:
We at scoopthis are not racists and we are Republicans, just like Martin Luther King Jr and many other black people who aren’t or weren’t racist either. We respect the rights of individuals and demand equal protection under the law which are the two base principles of conservative philosophy. This is why time and time again as we look back throughout history, it is the Democrats and not Republicans who stood in the way desegregating schools, the military, civil rights legislation, and even the issue of ending slavery. Today, it is the democrats who list “being black” as one of Obama’s qualifications. Further, it is the democrats who accuse those who won’t support Marxist Obama as being racist.
The democrats in this election are doing what they’ve always done best: divide people into groups based upon race and religion, prejudge their behavior, pandering based upon stereotypes, and in the end… proving that they are today just as they always were, the party of true racism.

To Smartie:
More like Smart-Ass but anywho…. how are these guys remotely connected to McCain/Palin? Last time I checked, the skinheads and KKK members along with 9/11 Truthers and conspiracy nutjob theorists were all backing Ron Paul and Green and Libertarian candidates for president.
Secondly, I predicted something like this would happen. The Democrats want to pull the sheepscloth over people’s eyes but racism and intolerance is still rampant in America—Obama has been leading that charge with race-baiting, along with agism and sexism, and dirty political tactics. Democrats like to talk about Karl Rove and “Rovian tactics” but Axelrod is worst with his “Rodian tactics.”
They’ve been pixie-dusting everything about Obama’s life and past to make him sound like he is some Messianic Savior of the Free World; a uniter and a real change-agent but the guy is the most inexperienced, most elitist, liberal senator our country has ever seen. He makes Ted Kennedy look like a pussycat.
These guys were acting out because Neo-Nazism and bigotry is still alive in this country. Conservatives don’t care if Obama is black; if we did then why did Bush have several minorities in his cabinet? Did you hear us screaming afoul about it? Bush has been one of the most tolerant presidents of people of different nationality and color ever. He’s given charitable amounts of money to AIDS relief (moreso than Clinton) and he sent plenty of relief money and supplies to hurricane-stricken Katrina.
And as I schooled Aesbes before, it’s been the Republicans who’ve been nicer and accepting of minorities throughout history; Democrats just decided to do it for political gains. It started with the Kennedys elbowing up to Luther King Jr. and it went on from there; basically lying to minorities they’ll clean up their communities and do “this and that” but actually all they do is let the crime continue and set up Planned Parenthoods so that women who’ve had babies or are about to have babies out of wedlock can just go get an abortion and go back to getting knocked-up again and again.

Cole,
How do we know that “Smartie” is not the same person as “Asebes?” Afterall, they both need their mouths washed out with soap and neither has the guts to use their real name.
Since this is Carlos’ post, I don’t have access to the IP log of the comments made here. But I’m willing to bet that if Carlos looked into it, he might find a similarity betwen Asebes and “Smartie.” If they are not the same, it just further proves that more liberals are too immature in their intellect to refrain from childish language and illogical or change of subject arguments.
