Obama assassination plot thwarted
Mon Oct 27, 2008 5:06pm EDT

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Law enforcement arrested two men in Tennessee who had plans to rob a gun dealer to shoot Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and "as many non-Caucasians" as possible, an official said on Monday.

An official from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said police found the men in the Jackson, Tennessee area with a number of guns, including a sawed-off shotgun, in their car.

"They wanted to go to a place where they could shoot as many non-Caucasian as they could," the official said, noting that the men first planned to rob a gun dealer. "They also had a plot to assassinate Sen. Obama."

Obama, who would be the first black U.S. president, is leading Republican John McCain in opinion polls ahead of the November 4 election.

The good part of Obama as president is the majority of nutjobs who will want to assassinate him are rednecks without enough brains to even get out of their own state, let alone past the Secret Service.

i hope the feds didn't do any illegal wiretapping - that would be a miscarriage of justice.

damn that bush and his roosting chickens

[johnbryanpeters]

This election may flush a bunch of the loony bigots out so they get properly disposed of.
I hope that's as far as it goes...

from CNN

Though they told investigators they would be willing to die in their mission, the men backed out of their October 21 attempt to rob the gun dealer after spotting two cars and a dog at the home, the affidavit states.

So two cars and a dog scare these idiots, but not the fact that a gun dealer might be armed ?

Show me ne president that someone didn't want to kill.

McCain will be dead from natural causes within 2 years, so he doesn't count.

Well, one mystery semi-solved for me. I always wondered why so many questionable Oi bands had "88" in a song or in their title. I guess it's some kind of secret code? Weren't they going to kill 88 black people?

Anyone know what significance 88 is?

Hmmm....88 lines about 44 women by the Nails?

What could it mean?

"Both individuals stated they would dress in all white tuxedos and wear top hats during the assassination attempt," the court complaint states.

Sounds like a plan to me.

Plans hatched in trailer parks seldom meet with great success...

roosting chickens alert:

“...just to take a, sort of a realist perspective...there’s a lot of change going on outside of the Court, um, that, that judges essentially have to take judicial notice of. I mean you’ve got World War II, you’ve got uh, uh, uh, the doctrines of Nazism, that, that we are fighting against, that start looking uncomfortably similar to what we have going on, back here at home.”

Phase 1: Break into gun store because we don't have any actual guns.

Too bad phase 1 required getting off the couch, or it could have happened.
