He's not even President; he may never be, we'll have to wait a few days. But the Republicans should be proud that the Skinheads think Obama should not be President, although instead of votes, they would rather stop it by stopping him permanently.

Now, I don't want him elected either, but I think this would be one sure way to start the next not-so-Civil War.
Comments, anyone?
[question posted by myklj999]responses and comments:
Luckily these were caught, but how many more are there out there who are planning the same type of thing? There are way too many radicals on both sides of the fence this election - I fear that regardless of the results, we're probably safer at home on election night! [newtondak]
"neo-Nazi skinheads" Does that mean these people follow the teaching of Hitler? If so, what the heck for? crazy! [Irishfrndly65]
Ohhh, NOW you deem yourself lowly enough to respond to the Irish! Uh huh, ignore me most the day and here you go commenting on my odor, which is quite lovely I might add! [Irishfrndly65]
YOUR REMARK IS VERY OVER THE TOP AND WAY OUT OF LINE,I HAVE LINKED TO BREAKING NEW FROM FOX NEWS. THE FACT OF LIFE IN THE REAL WORLD SKIN HEADS,WHITE SUPREMACIST AND THE KKK HAVE NOT A DAMMED THINK TO DO WITH BEING REPUBLICAN THEY ARE IN FACT KILLER GROUPS THAT DON'T LIKE CERTAIN PEOPLE EVEN A LITTLE BITE AND THERE HISTORY GOES BACK 100 YEARS. THIS bULLS*** OF LINKING EVERY THING UNDER THE DAM SUN TO REPUBLICANS IS JUST THAT BULLS*** AND YOU WAY OUT OF LINE IN YOUR AWFUL POST. GET TEH f***ING REAL FACTS WHERE YOU CAN GET THE REAL NEWS FOX NEWS IT WHERE IT IS AT LIKE IT OR NOT AND THIS IS THE FACT. FOX NEWS THE BREAKING NEWS]!oNAMA ASSASSINATION PLAN IN TENNESSEE>>>>> LINK BELOW CLICK ! The ATF says it has broken up a plot to assassinate Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and shoot or decapitate 102 black people in a Tennessee murder spree. In court records unsealed Monday, agents said they disrupted plans to rob a gun store and target an unnamed by predominantly African-American high school by two neo-Nazi skinheads. http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/10/27/government-foils-skinhead-plot-assassinate-obama/ [kennyrose]
"I don't see anything over the top" Are you so prejudiced against Republicans that you do not understand they would not be proud of anyone wanting to hurt 0bama? [redyellowblackdog]
This is the concern of many worldwide, what would happen if Obama win, will he be killed. I am so glad that they have prevent this from happening. We really don't want a next war. We all need to concentrate on building back unity. I hope this does not happen like what happen to Mrs Bhutto in Pakistan. [kerriannc]
Yes, the country does need to concentrate on unity after the election, no matter who wins. Remember, it was federal agents in a Republican administration that stopped the plot. Now, that's unity. [redyellowblackdog]
I would first like to comment on your linking skin heads to the republican party.....bad form....bad BAD form. Now, on to the rest. I think there are probably a number of such plots out there and this is just the tip of the ice berge. But the fact that it was foiled, speaks to the fact that the rest probably will not be very successfull either. An obama assasination however would in fact spark a huge civil unrest and near rioting, probably more than an Obama loss in the election. I still say the possibility of civil war or revolt is not really out of the realm of possibility these days. Remote possibility, but possibility none the less. [xfahctor]
I have thought for a long time, Myk, that this might be oBUMa's destiny; his purpose in life ... not to have one. I also have no use for the man and his plans to take MY money and give it to YOU, but I would never go so far as the Skinhead plot. I hope to God that he loses, but if he does not, I'll ACCEPT him, but not RESPECT him as our president. The man simply frightens me ... and his wife ... well she's another horror story. Memo to self: Hmm, I wonder if I can use all 721 voter registration cards that I got courtesy of ACORN to vote for Paris Hilton? (C) 2008 RJScott [rjscott]
I realize that this election is Republican and Democrat running against each other, but why would anyone jump to the conclusion that Republicans would be proud of any assassination plot against Obama? You just said that you don't want him voted in as President, but don't want him assassinated, so why think that Republicans do? A possibility of a Civil War is no reason to elect him either. We the people have to stand up and vote for the best person suited for the office of President of the United States. leenie [leenie50]
and if you really look with an open mind...McCains whole platform is based on lies, distorting Obamas plan, smears, and complete nonsense.... he has nothing to run on, hes an angry man with a well documented temper, that scares me more than anything, he wants to start war with iran and north korea...i see another world war on the way if he wins....this is FACT! [meaneb5]
The last thing we need is for Obama to be turned into a martyr. [irishidid]
"But the Republicans should be proud." The Republicans are proud. Proud that our fine federal agents as a part of the G.W. Bush administration caught these bad guys before they harmed anyone even as his political poll numbers were stagnant. 0bama will not likely be harmed while he is protected by federal agents who are a part of a Republican administration. [redyellowblackdog]
I will admit I phrased this to where it is being taken for other than I meant it. I meant about the Skinheads not wanting him for President, not proud they want to kill him. [myklj999]
I'm glad they caught the idiots and that the election will be decided by the voters. Boy this one sure got a few people riled up, didn't it? [dawnald]
I am sure the repugs are PROUD...PROUD that they only caught two, Proud that there are tons of 'em left to carry out other plots, VERY PROUD that the KKK didn't get caught up in this (this time) so they too can procede with business as usual. PROUD to be a secret card carrying member. It is down to the wire and the sheets are coming off or rather the hair opps both. [cjrwells]
MS you are right and we do agree on that!! [cjrwells]
I wouldn't want him assassinated, nor anyone else for that matter. Much more to my liking would be to round up all the skinheads and send them to Siberia or the north pole, somewhere they cannot do anyone any harm happy Oh, and make them grow some hair! lol [fwidman]
ok to the person who wrote this how do you feel? why do you feel the republicans should be proud of the skinheads? dont you realize there are black republicans that is an crazy statement obama is half white also but that should not matter its sad that human beings still think that way and if he does win the election let them try that then and spend the rest of lives behind bars dropping the soap.... [dawyka3]
Speaking of black republicans, I have a favorite on youtube. Check out machosauce productions. http://www.youtube.com/user/machosauceproduction [irishidid]
You think any Republican wants Obama to be a martyr? A martyred Obama would give the left even more influence than they have now. I mean hellfire and damnation the man is already a cult leader. Kill him and he becomes the founder of a new religion. Something to think about. I simply want people to wake up and realize this man is dangerous, dead OR alive. [sndcain36]
Sweetie, you've known me for a while right? Do you think I am proud of racist hatemongers and extremists who think they are inherently better than others because of something as arbitrary as skin color? You know me better than that. God, at least I hope you do. What's going to happen is that people are going to use these two morons as an excuse to label the rest of us who have genuine, legitimate objections to Obama as racists. These idiots only HURT the cause, they don't further it. They are an abomination to humanity. [sndcain36]
Hi myklj999, I don't really know much about the American politics but it seems to be swinging backwards and forwards, but who ever gets in would be worse the the present president? Its a shame there these is no third person that is in the running for the whitehouse, because these two aren't much good. Tamara [tamarafireheart]
I guess this is not a fair game anymore if that is the case. What the majority vote should be respected by everybody whether you are pro or against a certain candidate. I think this is why its called democracy but when violence is promoted this is never called democracy at work anymore but an elitist move to destroy who the majority will choose as the next president. [rsa101]
I agree with you but not in terms of assassinating a candidates because they disliked him. If they would try their attempt getting making fraudulent election then the other camp would just have to make a watchful eye during the election. Resorting to violence is just not an acceptable option besides making the person a martyr. [rsa101]
There are always crazies out there on both sides of the fence that will consider assassinating the president or presidential candidate. I think Obama has just raised more of a stir than anyone before him because a) he's black - which for the life of me I will NEVER understand why that is an issue, but the fact remains that it s and b) his "skirting" the issues with regard to his natural born citizenship and refusal to bring forth the documentation and c) his "redistribution of wealth" plan that will make the wealthy give up their money for the poor. Now, I'm all for helping those in need who are trying, but I am NOT for the idea that I would have to give up my money to some slacker who simply refuses to work. That totally goes against "The American Way." Not that I'm rich or anything, but I want the opportunity to earn whatever I strive for and not have it taken away just because someone else didn't work as hard. My vote goes with McCain. But I'll sure be glad when this election is OVER [renitaperrone]
OBAMA ISNT GIVING ANY MONEY TO THE PEOPLE THAT DONT WORK!! geez, i have never heard of something so misrepresented before in my life...all he is doing is undoing what W has done...taking away the "EXTRA" tax breaks the top 3% of this country has received under W and giving back the tax breaks to the "WORKING"(thats the keyword here that McCain chooses to leave out) middle class....what is so difficult to understand about this...? like always, if you dont work that means you dont pay taxes which means you get nothing, nada, zilch, same as always...NOTHING! you have to pay taxes to get a tax break...that is only common sense!! do you know 23 million working middle class has fallen INTO poverty since W has been president? the middle class is what carries this country on their backs and they are a disappearing class of people...sowhat your left with is the extremely poor or the extremely rich...is that what everyone wants? NO MIDDLE CLASS? HE HAS PROVEN HIS CITIZENSHIP OR HE WOULDNT BE ABLE TO RUN, THAT IS LAW! taxes ARE redistribution of wealth any way you look at it, if you even dare. IF you are really interested in learning the TRUTH, go to obamas website and READ his plan, if you can be fair and open minded, which means put your republican thoughts aside, you will only see how YOU will benefit FAIRLY from Obamas plan. [meaneb5]
Yeah I had heard about that, but hadnt heard who wanted to do it. Glad those damn neo nazi b*stards are going to prison. [darkjedi]
This post, I almost took the wrong way, so I read it twice! Now, I really don't think the Republicans want to associate themselves with skinheads, trust me! Whether u like Obama or not, no one deserves to die over some ignorant bs! U don't see black people trying to assassinate any of the Republicans, we got guns too! That's just plain idiotic, n shows no one is better than anyone else regardless of race!! They scared for some reason:) Taripre$ [taripres]
There are way too many people who think the six letter "N" word when they see him. And some think all people of colour should be in Africa or dead. It's disgusting but Obama has had a great big target on him ever since he beat Hillary. And he won't ever be able to let his guard down for that either. Him or his family. He is asking them to bear a huge burden that no other president has asked of his family. [BCMike]
hi myklj999 I am not going to even whisper who I voted for,not on mylot. but if obama was assassinated there would be a worse up rising than we had in watts back a number of years, and that was so b ad we could s ee the fires burning in LA here in Tustin some thirty miles away. by the way I am not a republican but heck surely I wont get lynched here in peaceable Mylot laugh, ha ha.This election has really divided all of us mylotters and it seems so stupid to me. after all according to mylot rules we are supposed to respect each others opinions, not insult each other. [Hatley]
Are you freaking kidding me, Hatley? Not even going to whisper who you're voting for? You've been SCREAMING it all over mylot for weeks! You are one of the biggest trolls in the political discussions leaving baseless attacks on people every chance you get in one breath and then writing about how you won't take part in political discussions in another. You are either suffering from a split personality or you are a hypocrite liar. [MSV1313]
The best Presidents in US history were usually assassinated. I suppose if the hatemongers really wanted him dead before he takes office, then they must know he could be the greatest President of them all. [mrghill]
yea killing him isnt the way to go. I dont want him elected either, but that isnt the answer... [stacyv81]
Obama is definitely dangerous to America. I, myself, have thought that someone will probably kill him if he is elected. His death would definitely get some people really upset, but I don't think there would be a civil war over it though. About all that would probably happen would be a bunch of people screaming about it on the news. He is definitely NOT the man for the job, and we should be afraid of the things he is going to do once he gets into office. It would not surprise me if he is assassinated, and to be honest, it wouldn't really bother me a whole lot either... [goldeneagle]
I doubt that would the last assination plot. if he becomes president, i think we will have trouble in our heads. that killing attempts won't stop. i hope Mc Cain was a lot younger,though. yeah, I can be nervous about Obama being president, but if he wins, well what the heck, give him a chance. [Greeneagle24]
It may have to do with the fact that McCain has close associations with an anti-semite, retired Army Maj. General named John Singlaub. McCains associations are far worse and run much deeper and longer than ANY Ayers association. Whjy Obama has chosen not to bring this up is beyond me...maybe because he is above the attack dog BS and stays on the issues...? I would paste the link, but apparently i am not allowed to by this site bacause i am new...? but the discussion was between Ton Brokaw and Paul Bagala...its located on many sites, one is: Ben Smiths blog - A shot across the bows. there are PLENTY of associations McCain has that are FAR worse than the Obama - Ayers unknown board meeting, a washed up domestic terrorist that is now a college professor...? still grasping at straws... [meaneb5]
I'm not an Obama supporter. I'm not anywhere close to being one. When election day comes around, I'm going to be voting for McCain. I don't like Obama's policies, and I sure as heck don't want him to get elected. But dang, I don't want to kill the man though. Unfortunately, racism (in all races) still exists. Some of them are just as extreme as these two neo-nazis that were arrested yesterday. As others said, I fear, one way or the other, this won't be the last attempt. I'm sure most of us saw something like this coming a long time ago. But like I said, he's not getting my vote. I'm voting for McCain. If you don't want him to become president, then don't vote for Obama. Simple as that! But since this isn't for political discussion (just the attempt), I won't get into why I refuse to vote for him. [DarthJustice]
I read this and what pisses me off the most is that they were going to start with a bunch of kids at a school. How nice of the as*holes. I really wish their guns would backfire on them and kill them before they can hurt anyone. Why can these people not just go after the guy they want and stop killing the innocents. Maybe they go after kids because they are such easy targets and cannot shoot back so its a bit like shooting fish down a well and I suppose after the killing they can say how good they were that they killed someone who mean something to them but to anyone else was just an innocent harmless child. This is just pathetic crap. [sharra1]
I do not think it would start a war but I think it would be a time where we tread lightly around african americans. I really do not want him in office but that is for different reasons. There are too many things wrong with him and I do not trust him. He seems very fake. I think it is good that this plot has been discovered. We live in a democratic nation and violence is not what anyone need to turn to. [shortbunny1980]
Everyone has their own opinions about who should or shouldn't be elected for their own reasons. I don't think skin color should have anything to do with it. It should be based on the issues not the person. Racism is wrong, period. Skinheads DON'T make me proud to be white. [camomom]
There you go with your "impartialness" again. Do you really think that we are rubbing our hands with glee over an assassination plot that if successful would have made 0bama into a martyr? You have obviously bought into the lie that all Republicans are evil. I do not support 0bama, and I think he will destroy our country given the opportunity, but I don't wish him dead. As somebody else pointed out, thank God that our federal agents under the REPUBLICAN administration were able to stop this plot before it ever got off the ground. [MSV1313]
I evidently worded it wrong; I was trying to say that the skinheads don't want Obama any more than you do; I was not trying to say that the Republicans should/would approve of the tactics they used. [myklj999]
I think Obama is the best pick. Your gonna find bad things about both candidates wherever you look. You need to form your own opinion by going to each of their sites and checking out their policies yourself instead of just looking for smear tactics. Let's face it, when Clinton was in office, he did a great job, then Bush got in there and messed it all up. Personally, I don't care who gets in as long as it's a democrat to clean up the republicans mess and it seems the only democrat running is Obama, So I'm voting for him. [freefogging]
The people they caught planned for the assasination of Senator Obama to be the pinnacle of their activity. They planned to start with randomly killing black people by beheading them. I'm not sure I understand your statement, but I don't think you can blame the Republicans for their behavior. I think that most people who oppose Obama or Support McCain do so because they favor McCain's policies or disagree with Obama's policies. We really need to stop associating radical activity with one political party or another and condemn the action period. It's not okay to go on a killing spree. It's not okay to display mock hanging's of candidates or show candidates likeness's on fire. It's not okay to try to start a race war by claiming you were attacked when you weren't. These atrocious displays of behavior should bring us together as a country in condemnation of these acts regardless of our political views. [cbreeze]
I'm sorry cbreeze but everything meanbe said is NOT true. Bush is not the reason this country is divided. He has tried to work with Democrats but they refuse to cross the aisle and work with anyone who does not follow their agenda. They won't even let someone speak at there own Convention who is prolife. They drove Joe Lieberman out of the party and say the worst things about him because He didn't oppose the war in Iraq. And he was the Vice Presidential Candidate in '00! The same people who were behind Bush at the beginning and then stabbed him in the back after the troops were in combat. Nana Pelosi has never missed an opportunity to say how much she hates Bush. And then they turn around and blame him for everything from Hurricane Katrina (And I mean the storm itself) To the current economy. The economy was fine until the dems took over congress in '06, when the price of gas doubled in 17 months. And It would still be fine if they weren't forcing banks to make loans to anyone with a fingerprint. I heard a guy the other day say "Pro" is the opposite of "Con" So that means "Congress" is the opposite of "Progress".whistle And right now Congress can only WISH they had an Approval Rating as high as Bush does. That's why they call her 9/c Pelosi. As in 9% approval rating. The worst in history. And really What have they done? What has Pelosi or Reid accomplished in two years? And Obama says he is going to lower taxes? Has he EVER written or even voted for a bill to lower taxes so far? [morethanamolehill]
I read this last night and it just disgusts me that this country is still so prejudiced! Thank God they were caught. Ever since Obama began his Presidential race, I have been worried about someone trying to assassinate him. This is the 21st century, people, have we learned nothing?!!! As you can tell this irritates me to now end. Mostly that there are people who wish it would have happened, more than it disgusts them. Doesn't say much for us as human beings, does it? [quinnkl]
Well, I do want him elected. But anyway, the Republicans I know (fewer and fewer though they are, lol) are nowhere close to Skinhead ideology. Neonazis are a breed unto themselves -- although I could swear sometimes I've seen some white supremacists at myLot. I do think the b.s. about "he doesn't see America the way you and I do" stirs up the nutcases -- people like Limbaugh and some of the other far right squawk show hosts are especially good at it. They really do stir up a lot of hate. [MoonlightSerenade]
I don't know about war, after all we have lost Presidents before. I wonder what happens if he's killed or disabled before the election? Does McCain become the only person running. do we write in, what? It has entered my mind that we may be voting for Vice Presidents not the President. I don't think either McCain or Obama has much chance of surviving long. What a depressing thought that is about the state of our country. [savypat]
I wouldn't be surprised if someone actually succeeds and kills him. The world is not ready for a black president as obvious by these two trying to kill him. What really pisses me off is when these two were caught, they were immediately labeled as "nuts" or "mentally disturbed" due to their hatred of blacks. yet Jesse Jackso and Al Sharpton are two of the most out spoken critics of the white race and they are sane? 0bama Bin laden's going to win. It's a matter of fact due to his race. Am I happy? Hell no. Be prepared to have life as you know it go straight down the toilet. Taxes are going to shoot up. Mortgages are going to crumble. Banks are going to fall and the world will be headed for a 2nd great depression. All because this Muslim racist thinks he knows whats best. If you have weapons such as guns or rifles, better start stockpiling ammo. He's already said he's going to raise taxes by nearly 600% on a box of ammo to "outlaw" guns. [ColdSunshine]
Yeah you get a great big phat negative rating for this discussion. It's closed minded microbrains like you that stir up hate between the parties. Do you think Republicans are Proud of Neo- Nazis? I am so sick and fre kin tired of being associated with Nazis. Republicans are about as proud of neonazis as Democrats are of NAMBLA. Although The Dems are probably More "Tolerant" of Pedophiles. They are also closer to Nazis in Philosophy. You do realize that Nazi is short for National Socialist right, and that they were atheist, anti-capitalist left-wingers who believed in Social Darwinism, eugenics, euthanasia, wealth redistribution and gun-control? Come to think of it, sounds a lot like the Democrat party platform. Which candidate does that sound like? Next you post garbage like this,try switching your brain on first. [morethanamolehill]
Sorry, I thought your question was addressed to me. my bad. I didn't even bother to finish reading meanebs's post, It was just a ramble of incoherency,(is that a word? spell check didn't tag it, so I guess so) cool I understand what you are saying now, No offense. I did look on page one too,but everything else that person said was false so I just consider the source. cheers [morethanamolehill]
I heard about this....it's a rather sad commentary on America. I thought we were "more grown up" than this, but evidently there's some idiots out there that decided to go knucklehead on us and show how low class they can possibly be, and set us back a few more years in our evolutionary process. Kash [Kashigurl]
How sad you have now contributed to slander by attempting to link anyone who is either registered Rep, who is debating on voting in a Rep, or plans to vote Rep. I can assure you that any American who is level-headed and educated knows that a skin head is nothing more than an ignorant person who is scared to death of change of any sort. I am just becoming more and more disappointed with what I have been seeing. But to publicly link the two things together, it's just wrong. I am glad the idiots were caught and I hope everyone will just stop adding fuel to a fire. Like I have said before lock all the supremists (black and white)up in a room and let them duke it out. And they are dems, reps, and ind not one specific group. Leave the rest of us out of it. [taface412]
Why are you saying the republicans should be proud? Are you saying that Republicans are skin heads? That is a very offensive statement. Why would you say something so stupid? I am sure that there were very few Republicans under those white sheets. It was not Republicans who started the "separate but equal" laws. In fact it was Republicans who voted for equal rights every time. If you knew what you were talking about you would know that skin heads and people like them hate Republicans as much as they hate Democrats. I can think of many reasons I hope he dose not win and what you said about a civil war is just one of them but I do not want to see him dead. I really believe that if he is elected he will be shot at. Not by an American but by our enemies. While the riots and looting and fires and God know what else is going on they will have a clear field to do any thing they want. [patms1]
I'm not so sure there won't be civil unrest if he's not voted in! [flowerchilde]
