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.
No more details are available currently. Lot’s of questions remain:
Are there any links between the neo-nazi’s and existing hate groups? How many assasination plots are currently under investigation? Would Sarah Palin consider these skinheads terrorists?

It looks like wasn’t considered serious enough to merit notifying Obama’s detail. No doubt there’s lots of neo-Nazis/Klansmen out there vocally bemoaning his candidacy; however I imagine it’s the folks that are both racist and intelligent enough to not make themselves known that pose the real threat to Obama’s life. Being one of Obama’s secret service agents has got to be one of the most stressful assignments for anyone covering a candidate. We believe that this country is advanced just enough to elect a Black man – however it is still backwards enough that no one would be surprised (unfortunately) if we heard about a dozen other such threats.
I seriously wonder about that.
Especially given the last thwarted plan.
