Feds disrupt skinhead plot to assassinate Obama

WASHINGTON — Two white supremacists allegedly plotted to go on a national killing spree, shooting and decapitating black people and ultimately targeting Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, federal authorities said Monday.

In all, the two men whom officials describe as neo-Nazi skinheads planned to kill 88 people — 14 by beheading, according to documents unsealed in U.S. District Court in Jackson, Tenn. The numbers 88 and 14 are symbolic in the white supremacist community.

Just got it off BuzzFlash. Didn't check thoroughly enough.

Skin Heads are not as much the problem as more professional outfits.

I pray his security is top level.

4. here's a little more info
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."

An Obama spokeswoman traveling with the senator in Pennsylvania had no immediate comment.

The men, Daniel Cowart, 20, of Bells, Tenn., (about 140 miles southwest of Nashville) and Paul Schlesselman 18, of West Helena, Ark., are being held without bond. Agents seized a rifle, a sawed-off shotgun and three pistols from the men when they were arrested. Authorities alleged the two men were preparing to break into a gun shop to steal more.

Attorney Joe Byrd, who has been hired to represent Cowart, did not immediately return a call seeking comment Monday.

Cowart and Schlesselman are charged with possessing an unregistered firearm, conspiring to steal firearms from a federally licensed gun dealer, and threatening a candidate for president.

The investigation is continuing, and more charges are possible, Cavanaugh said.

Come back to Tennessean.com for more as this story develops.

9. OK, I need a round of "Get to know your racist extremists".
Do you (or does anyone) know why 88 and 14 have special meaning to these bigots?

10. the "14" is for the '14 words of the Brotherhood' & the "88" is for 'HH' (Heil Hitler)
These guys were dupes... or just plain fucking idiots. given their ages, I'd say they were pledges, or wannabes. Knowing what I know about the Brotherhood, I'm gonna say they were wannabes. The biggest telling factor is that the AB wouldn't send two young punks like that out on a mission like this. They were acting on their own, and a dollar to a doughnut says they made the shit up about trying to kill Obama. They knew they were busted and going to prison for robbing the gun dealer so they had to try to get their 'street creds' built up for when they get on the inside.

5. Now, will they be labeled as terrorists like the people from the RNC welcoming committee?
And have to spend $ and time getting themselves out of this? Or another slap and told to go home.

6. It was the small town sherriff who disrupted dumb and dumber, not the Feds.

They got caught the second they stepped out the front door. The feds only got called in after they spilled their guts. Those two, thankfully, couldn't conspire their way out of a toilet. :rofl:

I'm betting others with similar delusional plans also have similar two-digit IQs.

7. problem is,
these kind of people are everywhere. They don't read, they don't care about issues/healthcare/jobs/the stockmarket/or anything except "ain't no colored boy gonna be president over me". Things change very slowly in their family tree. Bet on it.

Peace.

8. I know that, and am not making light of it. But it's implied the feds busted up
some intricate conspiracy, when no, those idiots got hauled in by local police before they even got to Phase One of their meth-fueled plan. But of course it's pathetic that people are so ignorant and hate-filled.
