The Ugly of America, Part 6: Assasination Plan Thankfully Twarted

The ugly of America has a trickle down effect. And today, an unfortunate story about a plot to kill a number of black people, including Obama himself. Thankfully, it has been twarted:

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.

Jim Cavanaugh, special agent in charge of the Nashville ATF field office, said the two men sought to go on a national killing spree that included an unnamed African-American school, with Obama as their final target.

John Lewis warned against this. Maybe John McCain should give him a major apology.
