Assassination Plot Foiled

Well, this HAD to show up, in one way or another before this election was over. Let's hope that it is the LAST one to come up.

ATF: Plot by skinheads to kill Obama is foiled

Two Neo-Nazis held in Tennessee, allegedly also planned to kill dozens


WASHINGTON - A plot by two Neo-Nazi skinheads to assassinate Barack Obama and kill dozens of other African Americans has been foiled, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms said Monday.

Daniel Cowart, 20, of Bells, Tenn., and Paul Schlesselman, 18, of West Helena, Ark., were charged Friday with making threats against a presidential candidate, illegal possession of a sawed-off shotgun and conspiracy to rob a gun store.

In court records unsealed Monday, agents said they disrupted plans that included robbing a gun store and targeting an unnamed but predominantly African-American high school.

This is the saddest thing I have seen so far. It is probably fair to say that these two have not had a loving family to show them that people deserve to be protected and loved. Groups that use names to commit an atrocity or attempt to are unfortunately the reason that alot of people do not get involved in the simple pleasures of life. People in 2008 are afraid to face themselves let alone face the world.

I hope these two get the help they need to understand their actions.

Each act of a hurtful nature create a fear within the public.

Vote Obama, to help find the basic and simple ways to fix a problem.
