Two Memphis area men with strong white-supremacy beliefs are in custody after planning a state-to-state killing spree, targeting black citizens and ending with the assassination of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, federal authorities said Monday.
Daniel Cowart, 20, of Bells, TN and Paul Schlesselman, 18, of West Helena, AR, hatched their plan after they met on the Internet last month and discussed their shared interest in “White Power” and “Skinhead” philosophies, officials said.
“The individuals began discussing going on a ‘killing spree’ that included killing 88 people and beheading 14 African-Americans,” according to an affidavit filed by Special Agent Brian Weaks of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

“The numbers 88 and 14 have special significance within the ‘White Power’ movement.”
The two men had accumulated a sawed-off shotgun, pistols and a .308-caliber rifle and planned to attack an unnamed, predominantly black school and end with an attack on Obama.
“Schlesselman states that they planned to drive their vehicle as fast as they could toward Obama, shooting at him from the windows,” the affidavit said.
“Both individuals stated they would dress in all-white tuxedos and wear top hats during the assassination attempt. Both individuals further stated they knew they would and were willing to die during this attempt.”

Sad part is this is not the last attempt.
I agree. Obama, if elected, might want to practice ducking and covering.
