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.

this is more propaganda from the government to start civil unrest

do not believe it

Well....

I'll withhold my gut reaction to this until more details emerge.

My first thought though was, "how convenient".

If it's true it's despicable and they should be punished to the extent of the law..this is not what this country needs...period. It is strange for this to come out after what many may see as a damaging sound byte.

I blame the media trying to crown Obama and making it sem like a slamdunk. They will try to kill him to make sure he doesn't win instead of waiting and giving the process a chance.
They know he will be harder to get close to if he is president.

Wow, the ATF really is our friend. Thank you so much ATF!!!

This made up for that whole Waco misunderstanding.

Peace

Two men have been charged with making threats against presidential candidate Barack Obama. Daniel Cowart, 20, of Bells, Tennessee and Paul Schlesselman, 18, of West Helena were charged in a federal complaint last Friday of illegal possession of a sawed-off shotgun, conspiracy to rob a federal firearms licensee, and making threats against a major candidate for the Office of President.

The only way he could be touched is if the secret service stand down, like in other ones. But i doubt they will.

This is just a story to divide you people even more.

MSNBC is running with it and promising updates as they come in

"October surprises"!! I expect several more before Nov. 4. Let's see how this plays out. This could end up like the famous 2004 Osama bin Laden tape that everyone alleges saved the election for GW.

"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."

I'm posting these links as they pop up...

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.

My guess would be that this was something cooked up by the Obama campaign to take people's mind off of the "redistribution of wealth" comment and give them another target for their anger, the racist pricks. On the other hand, you can bet your bottom dollar there are a lot of idiots that would like nothing more than to make such a thing reality.
That goes without saying for nearly all political leaders, I would imagine.

It may also be a message to Obama that he needs to "play ball" as it were. Because this sort of thing at least gets that message out there. This is the second such threat in recent weeks. At this point, if something awfull WERE to happen, people would say, "well, I saw it coming."

Like someone above said, divide and conquer.

Skinheads? There's still skinheads?
I swear I haven't heard that term since the mid-90's, are we sure they still call themselves skinheads?
Smells like pro"poo"ganda, and a little like teen spirit.

I am not sure if it will have that same effect, but it will increase people's awareness that racism still exists in this country. Whether or not it has an effect on the election is dependent on how the candidates and talking heads respond to it.

I'm sure there are skinheads out there...just like kkk members and the like. This almost ensures that if Obama loses...there will be riots of some kind. What is ridiculous to me is that when the riots occur...people who actually voted for Obama will see their property damaged and stolen. Our country is going to complete hell right now.
