per MSNBC

[Bubbha Jo]

1. He mentioned AR & TN, didn't he? n/t

[my2sense]

2. This should be laid at Palin/McCain's feet

They started this hatefest.

[polichick]

7. Yeah, and yet all three of the guys on msnbc now are backing away from that idea...

...the two guests and David Schuster.

[Spider Jerusalem]

31. You know, perhaps I'm being too REASONABLE about this...

but I kind of suspect that these neo-Nazi racists would have very probably come up with this plot regardless of what kind of campaign McCain and Palin ran. After all, it's not like they're neo-Nazis because they thought the SS had really cool uniforms.

[Cha]

35. Doesn't matter a twit..they chose hatemongering

and let them prove the skinheads didn't follow their instruction.

[Spider Jerusalem]

39. I'm sorry, but you have to be somewhat deluded to make that presumption.

You have a 'white nationalist' neo-Nazi group that espouses an ideology of virulent racism, some of whose members formulate a plan to assassinate a man likely to be America's first black president; why would you presume any motivation beyond their own irrational hatred?

[thoughtcrime1984]

43. Gotta admit, though, it's like glove fits hand.

The McStalin campaign dovetails right into the KKK, skinheads, and other hate groups. The GOP can no longer run on issues, only hate. Can we elect something other than flesh-covered hate for once?

[No Elephants]

47. Anyone knows the first black Presidential nominee has a target on his back. Yet, you repeatedly

equate him with enemies of the nation who murdered 3000 citizens on 911? Whether you are Palin or Limbaugh or McCain, you are not too dumb to know you are lighting a match next to gasoline.

[Gnister]

3. McCain/Palin campaign will have blood on their hands if anything happens!

[VeraAgnes]

4. I bet they have

McCain/Palin bumper stickers too.

[kwolf68]

5. Skinheads jailed?

That's 100 fewer 'people' voting for McCain

[proud patriot]

6. thank goodness they were foiled

:(

[AllieB]

8. I just heard this. Ugh.

I really hope they prosecute these guys, unlike the the ones that they caught in CO around the DNC.

[Applan]

9. Just saw it on Fox too

More after the break

[SoonerPride]

10. I thought terrorists were only Muslims

huh

[slinkerwink]

11. no details on this yet

[AlCzervik]

12. so i guess Pat Buchanan won't be on Msnbc tonight?

[Doityourself]

23. Lmao! OMG I spit out my water! thanks

[Chisox08]

42. It also looks like Colmes will be hosting by himself

And BillO wont be on tonight either.

[bullwinkle428]

13. Let's see if the Justice Dept. is willing to treat them as the terrorists they are!

[jillan]

14. The thugs are all coming out from under their rocks, aren't they?

Fuck you Palin and all your racist talk.

[electionwatcher]

Just heard

This has just broken on Sky News

[rasputin1952]

15. Thank GOD they got them before some tragedy could ensue...

WTF is WRONG w/these people...:grr:

God only knows i despise bush, McCain and a host of other neo-cons, but I cannot in any way consider assassination. Hope they spend the rest of their lives behind bars if they are found guilty.

[WeDidIt]

16. It's only gonna get uglier

I expect all hell to break loose starting November 5.

[SoonerPride]

19. Or the 3rd.

Yeah, I expect some violence and then some counter violence from the masses who far outnumber those fucks

[David__77]

17. I'm gonna assume this is National Alliance.

Or one of its offshoots.

[meow mix]

18. might be forced to have a mass roundup of freepers..

and sent to "pysch camps" for re-education. just a suggestion..

[SoonerPride]

20. Or deport them.

Don;t they always say "love it or leave it?"

Lets send them on their way somewhere else.

[bushisanidiot]

21. Holy crap! McHate's message appears to be getting through

to all of his batshit crazy followers!!

I guess they'd do anything for their fearless leader.. even commit murder.

WASHINGTON (AP) — ATF says it has disrupted skinhead plot to assassinate Obama, kill 102 black people.

102?? That's a weird number. There must be names attached to those numbers.

[Bubbha Jo]

26. Said it was released in some court documents... just in the planning stage when foiled. n/t

[frickaline]

30. Another article, school was target:

http://apnews.myway.com/article/20081027/D94328PG2.html

By LARA JAKES JORDAN

WASHINGTON (AP) - 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."

45. Meaning of 14 and 88.

* 14 refers to the 14-word slogan: “We must secure the existence of our race and a future for white children”
* 88 represents HH (H being the eighth number in the alphabet), which stands for Heil Hitler

[frickaline]

A bit more info here:

[Doityourself]

24. apparently this comes out of court records...ATF apparently disrupted very early stage planning

records unsealed...that's why its out...

these nut bags wanted to open fire in a high school full of black kids!

[WeDidIt]

25. What's the Over/Under on teh Freepers

complaining about the ATF doing this?

[PermanentRevolution]

34. More likely they'll say the skinheads were secret Obama plants to boost sympathy

[WeDidIt]

37. Oh they started that almost immediately

plus it takes their "Redistribution of Wealth" tape story off the table, so obviously these guys ahve been planning knowning all along that this story would finally hit Dridge today when they would be arrested for it.

We Democrats are dastardly brilliant, aren't we?

[PermanentRevolution]

38. They really are predictable, aren't they?

Oh, and batshit-crazy. Can't forget that one.

[TwilightGardener]

Hmm, sounds like domestic terrorism--that's what the McStupid campaign has been courting.

[Clio the Leo]

27. The key word here is "foiled."

Moving right along......

[FSogol]

28. So the College Republicans got caught again? n/t

[Parker CA]

29. Good on the ATF and the security people for keeping on top of everything and keeping Obama safe!! nm

[mscuedawg]

32. Silence in the face of hate is NOT fit to lead!!!!

[EC]

33. I wonder if these two are in any relation

to the two in Colorado during the convention?

[Ilsa]

36. I wish they'd pack up and leave instead of trying to pack.

But where would they go? Does anyone in the world want skinheads and neonazis living there?

[Rocknrule]

40. I pray to God Obama has a small army protecting him

[TornadoTN]

41. *UPDATE* Both arrested in Crockett County, Tennessee

This in the western area of the state, just to the Northeast of Memphis.

[cheezit]

44. Three elderly black ladies just came into

the store I work at and were talking about not voting for Obama because they don't want anything bad to happen to him. I hope they don't follow through. I hope this sentiment is not widespread.

[barack the house]

46. That's very good to hear. It shows a lot of people have got his back that is why it was important to...

win this big. Just posting out those letters and poems door to door on why it's good to vote Obama/Biden. Especially in red areas.

[barack the house]

...

[barack the house]

48. The main thing here is not to fear just carry on with love and enthusiasm, hope is round the corner....
