Basically, 2 skinheads were planning to kill 88 black students and decapitate 14 others described as "non whites." Then they planned to go on a "national killing spree" with the final target being Obama.
This is something that I am really concerned about. I worry about Obama getting assassinated by some crazy redneck whiteys. I mean hell, someone tried to kill Ronald Reagan just so he could impress Jodie Foster. I worry about all of them - McCain, Palin, Biden, our esteemed Governator Arnold - because there are some crazy motherf*ckers out there.
The best part of this story is that the two men met online. I wonder if it was at EHarmony or match.com....

I'm concerned about it too. Contrary to what many would have you believe, this is not a racist nation as a whole. But that does not mean there aren't racists out there in places, not to mention just all around kooks.
I shudder at the thought of Obama becoming President because I think his ideology would be bad for America. But I try to look on the bright side of things wherever possible. And if there is anything positive that could come from him winning, it's that it would put another nail in the heart of racism. And that goes for me being able to criticize his policies as well without being called a racist. I just wish it were someone more in line with my ideology who was running for President. Someone like say, Condi Rice.
Cmon.. raise your hands, who didnt see this comming. They have been calling the guy a terrorist for the last couple of months, people.. usually the ones in the bible belt, actually believe he is muslim. These nutcases are actually chanting "kill him" at the republican rallies and McCain and Palin pretend like they dont notice when the question is brought up to them.
Im actually surprised they only foiled one. THe last black man to walk around talking about hope and change and providing some form of inspiration ended up dead, actually both of them did.

much to do about nothing.
skinheads want to kill a prominent black man who has taken the american stage, world stage? really now?
there was no actual plot. except for white tuxedos with top hats.
is this not akin to bush catching or blowing up terrorist prior to the '04 election? red terror alerts, anyone?
national news, all week is my guess.
feel better about yourselves, get rid of that guilt- vote obama.
-I will subtlety invade your psyche-
When they first announced they were going to have Obama and McCain run .. we were discussing how regardless of who wins, Either one of them have the highest probability for assination than just about any president in history. It is a scary thought. I am glad they stopped these guys .. but what about the rest. These were a couple of skin heads .. there are so many organizations on both sides that want to take out McCain and Obama that I certainly hope they have beefed up security for the upcoming president.. he's going to need it.
well, no worries. If McCain gets in office we got Palin to lead us to the front. By Gods will!

This plot is really pretty silly, something in the realm of fantasy.
Yeah, they were going to wear white tuxedos to the assassination, which would be preceded by the killing of 102 blacks (number determined by neo-Nazi symbolic numbers).
These two asshats wouldn't have gotten past the high school. The remaining plot is just mastrubation.
Expect more of this sort of crap in the future.
CH, Jedi, Commando, Smuggler, BH, Scout, Doctor, Chef, BE...yeah, lots of SWG time invested.

This plot is INCREDIBLY silly.
These TWO guys planned to go on an 88 person killing spree, culminating with the assassination of a pressidential candidate, yet they were busted BEFORE they could rob a gun shop.

Are you kidding me? You're tying these nutjobs to the McCain campaign? You probably think these two are typical Republicans in America.
First of all, the chant "kill him" at a McCain rally is a myth. Some journalist made it up and put it in an article. The Secret Service interviewed the crowd at that rally extensively and found no evidence that anyone shouted "kill him."
Secondly, implying it is Christians, by saying it is happening mostly in the Bible belt is a cheap shot. Take a look at what's happening in California right now with Proposition 8. There's weird stuff happening on both sides. What an enlightened state that is.

I kinda feel bad for McCain. He has tried to talk to his supporters at some of the rallies saying Obama is a decent guy and he's not a muslim but some of them acted like they were going to go after McCain.
Don't be terrorized! You're more likely to die of a car accident, drowning, fire, or murder! More people die every year from prescription drugs than terrorism LOL!
Exactly.
There's an extreme to everything moderate; so you expect things like this when McCain-Palin's terrorist claims turn to death threat chants at their rally.
That said, of course McCain-Palin aren't directly to blame. But they are IRRESPONSIBLE!
For votes, they create fear, be it the Ayers stump speeches or robocalls of Guilliani practically saying Obama endorses crime. It's filthy, and emboldens the exact stereotypes a racist would have; muslims are terrorists, black people are criminals.
I'll be glad when this is all over with. All the McCain-Palin campaign accomplishes lately is give the ugliest side of America a voice.
Yep, people like this are who we need to watch out for.

I never knew that Ohio had such ignorant rednecks living there.
*oops bad link, fixed
I'm going to take a wild guess and say that tthe reporter didn't go around advertising that he was from Al Jazeera. Whad'ya think?
I'm going to have to agree with you there. "Hi, I'm from Al Jazeera, can I ask you some questions?"
BANG!
But then again, I doubt those people even know what Al Jazeera is. So who knows...
Did... did you just compare Obama to Martin Luther King?
/facepalm
I don't think Obama's evil, and given the choice between him and McCain, I like Obama way more, but I'm voting for Bob Barr, the hell with both of them. They're both somewhat crooked people, but hey, as Senators, I've come to expect this. Doesn't make them awful people, but, I don't want either of them running the country. Unfortunately, one of them will. *sigh*
Racism is prevelant on both sides here, not just against blacks. Just as we have white extremists groups,There are Black extremists groups that are just as violent. People these days act like only whites have committed atrocities here, but that is simply not true. In fact just last year in 2007, there was an "ethnic cleansing " genocide where a mob of 2000 Barrack Obama/Raila Odinga supporters who killed 1500 people hacking them to death with machetes in the name of "change" after Raila lost. Yes they were Obama supporters, Obama campaigned for his cousin in Kenya, but no he is not responsible for the actions this angry mob took. It was horrific. The people who committed this atrocity are rightfully being charged with ethnic cleansing.

HYMAN: Obama's Kenya ghostsCOMMENTARY:
About 50 parishioners were locked into the Assemblies of God church before it was set ablaze. They were mostly women and children. Those who tried to flee were hacked to death by machete-wielding members of a mob numbering 2,000.
The 2008 New Year Day atrocity in the Kenyan village Eldoret, about 185 miles northwest of Nairobi, had all the markings of the Rwanda genocide of a decade earlier.
By mid-February 2008, more than 1,500 Kenyans were killed. Many were slain by machete-armed attackers. More than 500,000 were displaced by the religious strife. Villages lay in ruin. Many of the atrocities were perpetrated by Muslims against Christians.
The violence was led by supporters of Raila Odinga, the opposition leader who lost the Dec. 27, 2007, presidential election by more than 230,000 votes. Odinga supporters began the genocide hours after the final election results were announced Dec. 30. Mr. Odinga was a member of Parliament representing an area in western Kenya, heavily populated by the Luo tribe, and the birthplace of Barack Obama's father.
Mr. Odinga had the backing of Kenya's Muslim community heading into the election. For months he denied any ties to Muslim leaders, but fell silent when Sheik Abdullahi Abdi, chairman of the National Muslim Leaders Forum, appeared on Kenya television displaying a memorandum of understanding signed on Aug. 29, 2007, by Mr. Odinga and the Muslim leader. Mr. Odinga then denied his denials.
The details of the MOU were shocking. In return for Muslim backing, Mr. Odinga promised to impose a number of measures favored by Muslims if he were elected president. Among these were recognition of "Islam as the only true religion," Islamic leaders would have an "oversight role to monitor activities of ALL other religions [emphasis in original]," installation of Shariah courts in every jurisdiction, a ban on Christian preaching, replacement of the police commissioner who "allowed himself to be used by heathens and Zionists," adoption of a women's dress code, and bans on alcohol and pork.
This was not Mr. Odinga's first brush with notoriety. Like his father, Jaramogi Oginga Odinga, the main opposition leader in the 1960s and 1970s, Raila Odinga is a Marxist He graduated from East Germany's Magdeburg University in 1970 on a scholarship provided by the East German government. He named his oldest son after Fidel Castro.
Raila Odinga was implicated in the bloody coup attempt in 1982 against then-President Daniel Arap Moi, a close ally of the United States. Kenya has been one of the most stable democracies in Africa since the 1960s. The ethnic cleansing earlier this year was the worst violence in Kenya since that 1982 coup attempt.
Mr. Odinga spent eight years in prison. At the time, he denied guilt but later detailed he was a coup leader in his 2006 biography. Statue of limitations precluded further prosecution when the biography appeared.
Initially, Mr. Odinga was not the favored opposition candidate to stand in the 2007 election against President Mwai Kibaki, who was seeking his second term. However, he received a tremendous boost when Sen. Barack Obama arrived in Kenya in August 2006 to campaign on his behalf. Mr. Obama denies that supporting Mr. Odinga was the intention of his trip, but his actions and local media reports tell otherwise.
Mr. Odinga and Mr. Obama were nearly inseparable throughout Mr. Obama's six-day stay. The two traveled together throughout Kenya and Mr. Obama spoke on behalf of Mr. Odinga at numerous rallies. In contrast, Mr. Obama had only criticism for Kibaki. He lashed out against the Kenyan government shortly after meeting with the president on Aug. 25. "The [Kenyan] people have to suffer over corruption perpetrated by government officials," Mr. Obama announced.
"Kenyans are now yearning for change," he declared. The intent of Mr. Obama's remarks and actions was transparent to Kenyans - he was firmly behind Mr. Odinga.
Mr. Odinga and Mr. Obama had met several times before the 2006 trip. Reports indicate Mr. Odinga visited Mr. Obama during trips to the U.S. in 2004, 2005 and 2006. Mr. Obama sent his foreign policy adviser Mark Lippert to Kenya in early 2006 to coordinate his summer visit. Mr. Obama's August trip coincided with strategizing by Orange Democratic Movement leaders to defeat Mr. Kibaki in the upcoming elections. Mr. Odinga represented the ODM ticket in the presidential race.
Mr. Odinga and Mr. Obama's father were both from the Luo community, the second-largest tribe in Kenya, but their ties run much deeper. Mr. Odinga told a stunned BBC Radio interviewer the reason why he and Mr. Obama were staying in near daily telephone contact was because they were cousins. In a Jan. 8, 2008, interview, Mr. Odinga said Mr. Obama had called him twice the day before while campaigning in the New Hampshire primary before adding, "Barack Obama's father is my maternal uncle."
President Kibaki requested a meeting of all opposition leaders in early January in an effort to quell the violence. All agreed to attend except Mr. Odinga. A month later, Mr. Kibaki offered Mr. Odinga the role of prime minister, the de facto No. 2 in the Kenyan government, in return for an end to the attacks. Mr. Odinga was sworn in on April 17, 2008.
Mr. Obama's judgment is seriously called into question when he backs an official with troubling ties to Muslim extremists and whose supporters practice ethnic cleansing and genocide. It was Islamic extremists in Kenya who bombed the U.S. Embassy in 1998, killing more than 200 and injuring thousands. None of this has dissuaded Mr. Obama from maintaining disturbing loyalties.

This is exactly why I don't worry about militia,skin heads, muslim-superfight-extreme-happy-power-jihadi-brigades or the rest of the nut jobs.
They are simply too goddamned crazy and stupid to pull off anything successful.
This is twice now that the media has reported about idiotic skinheads getting caught up in a stupid ass plan to kill Obama.
See they went out of line, a sniper some miles away will do just nicely. <------------------- Logical thought to assassinate right?
These guys <----------WTF, WTF ,WTF.
No need to go all murder spree .
Meth+Mahumping+trailer education = this story.
