Ark. skinhead makes headlines
This is all I know from MSNBC website at the moment, but ..... sigh. Thanks to Roby Brock for the tip.
BREAKING NEWS: ATF says it disrupted skinhead plot in Tenn., Ark. to assassinate Obama.
UPDATE: We've dug up an account of the indictment on which this headline is apparently based. This may be the random nut incident -- which isn't to say it isn't unsettling. It involves an 18-year-old from West Helena and an indictment returned in Tennessee on Friday. They talked of a mass slaughter at a high school, too.
Here's a news release from Tennessee.
And here's the affidavit that supports the case.

I am not a fatalist, but am SO afraid it's going to happen.

I'm tired of Arkansas being on the national news.

I was hoping they were talking about Tennessee the state.

Huff Post says ATF from Nashville office talk about plot in Tennessee. Makes me think they are talking about the state?

Because we all know 88s are so effective in their organization and planning, and execution.
The dumbasses probably couldn't kill a dog...

Considering what happened in Denver and the fact a Bush Rove DOJ appointee let them go.. I must say I am amazed the Feds finally arrested someone. Must have been really really bad.

Well if you dig in the details, the only thing seperating these two nut jobs and deathbyinches is....the nut jobs were in possession of an illegal weapon.
hate runs both ways.

One small other difference between these two and dbi.
DBI's candidate has not been allowing his 527's and Pacs to advertise his opponent as a Marxist, Socialist, Muslimetc, etc, etc, or using slanderous robocalls to inspire fear, hatred and anger as a methodology of getting out the vote. Nor has DBI's candidate been painting pictures of the aftermath of an election lost as armageddon or the "end of days."

Darn. I must miss all the really interesting posts. I don't recall DBI ever mentioning his desire to be a serial killer or to murder a mass or two of people.
Way to confuse criticism with murder Max not-so-Smart. Work hard and maybe you can reach a three digit IQ eventually.

Ya know, with all these anti-DBI comments that keep popping up on here, and all the right wing gun-toting nutjobs that seem to hold him personally responsible for their candidates, and their party, being so full of shit, I'm starting to think maybe ol' Deebie needs some Secret Service Protection himself. Can we get a request in for that? If not, Deebie, gimme a call. I could use a gig as your personal bodyguard. I work cheap.

"The men, Daniel Cowart, 20, of Bells, Tenn., and Paul Schlesselman 18, of Helena-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."
"Both individuals stated they would dress in all white tuxedos and wear top hats during the assassination attempt," the court complaint states. "Both individuals further stated they knew they would and were willing to die during this attempt."
"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."
It's okay...Maxwell Smart! 99 and Jesus LOVES you!

Ohmagod! And I was out all afternoon in public....an open target.....a wanted man.....and I didn't even know it! Well....I got a Sears catalog duct taped to my chest and my family WWII helmet on my head naow! I've found the gun but I can't find the bullets! I've slapped the dogs around and by god they're ready! Let me get my sugar meds taped to my groin and I'll be ready!
Read this damn story fast because like the plot to assassinate Obama in Denver, it will go away fast and all we'll hear about is Palin's wardrobe. It's very simple.....THEY hated Abe Lincoln because he invaded the south and freed the slaves and they killed him. THEY hated John F. Kennedy because he was a Catholic and they killed him. THEY hate Barack Obama for the color of his skin and THEY WILL KILL HIM if he's not protected every moment of every day for the rest of his life.
If elected, they will try to kill him. If inaugurated, they will try to kill him. If he makes it to the last day of his one or two terms....it will be a miracle. I will admit I have the deepest, darkest, feelings of hatred for Cheney & Bush, in that order. I have imagined a Cheney-Bush Nintendo game where I use the Sword of Gannon to slice them both into little pieces. But the key word here is IMAGINE!
And I have had those thoughts only because of worry about the direction our country is heading and what it is going to do to harm the lives of my 2 children. Don't care about the Democratic Party. Don't care about my side winning. Don't care about skin color or religion. I hate Cheney-Bush for the evil they've done to others in our name, beating our Bible, under our flag.
But if all Cheney-Bush has to fear is little ole me.....they'll live their evil lives until they're 125 or older. Fact.....I'm not a killer. Fact....war and killing isn't the way I would go about solving my problems. But we have a long history of lunatics killing our candidates and Presidents and we better take this new threat as serious as cancer. Our country is hanging by 1 slender thread now. We just need one more shove and it's all over. Mad Max America in all directions for decades to come. Not my idea of a great rest of my life or a good spot to park my kids after I'm gone.
We may in fact be in the End Days. But if so, it has nothing to do with Jesus or his Pa.....it's about the end of America. Be careful! And for __________'s (name of higher power of your choice goes here) sake protect Barack Obama and John McCain and lets get this damn election behind us so we'll know to stick around or run like bloody hell.

I think I'll put Deathbyinches in the blank on his post. Most of the time he seems to be the only person on this blog with any intelligence and imagination.

Hey Farkleberry, I agree. I have copied and pasted posts by dbi, wishing I could speak with such knowledge and eloquence.

If you have mastered the art of copying and pasting, your knowledge level is probably upwards of the 95th percentile of the writers on this blog and you will hereafter be known as "MadCat Biden".

Well we can see who can copy and paste................
Perhaps I should have said, I copy DBI writings to show to others; ie. intelligent information that can be found some (few) blogs.

What a dick you are Maxwell Smart...DBI provides humor coupled with true concern and intelligence, but has never advocated going to a schoolyard and gunning down 88 kids, then beheading another 14. Know anything about those magic numbers, Maxwell Smart? What do they mean?
Of course we know they could not have accomplished their mission, especially the beheading, without being brought down, but it is possible that with enough firepower, they could have killed a lot of innocent black kids.
For you to equate these two morons to DBI or any of the rest of us on this blog who are clearly Obama supporters is shameful.

Now that you have mastered the "copy and paste" command you can move to lesson 2, "Grammar Checker" and with a little practice, advance to the 98th percentile.

Keep up the good work, DBI. I think you got some of 'em on the run.
Oh, by the way, you might consider investing in a 12 guage double barrel shotgun and some 00 buckshot. Much easier to find, even if your house looks like mine. Also much easier to hit something. Just remember to snug it up against your shoulder good or you'll be sitting on the ground when it's all over. Not a place you want to find yourself. Just for a moment, you'll think they got you and it's gonna hurt like hell soon. (Actually it will, but it'll just be one hellacious bruise.)
The alleged plot, or more precisely the plotters? How STUPID can you get? Yes, it's worrisome, and I'm glad the plan was foiled. But planning to behead 14 people because some patron saint of skinheads said 14 words umpteen years ago? Planning to kill 88 folks because "H" is the eighth letter of the alphabet and is shorthand for Heil Hitler? Do people this dumb deserve ever to live free again? Do they get to pass on their genes to another generation of idiots?
I don't understand hate at this level. I think it would take someone murdering a loved one in front of me for me to get anywhere near this point. Even then, after the initial hatred and fury, I doubt I would go beyond the point of fantasizing about what I would do. How do people reach the point these two fools apparently did?

That's right 'Don K.' liberals..."copy and paste" (i.e.) facts.
RightWingNuts..."abject and hate" (i.e.) scuttlebutt.

I was going to say how good it was to hear from a representative of the 5th percentile folks but you appear to have successfully mastered the "copy and paste" test so, sadly, the difference between the 5th and 95th may be a straight line . . .
