ATF Arrests Arkansas, Tennessee Men in Plot to Kill Obama

The two "neo-Nazi skinheads" were arrested last week.

More details.

UPDATE: An enterprising KNS reporter gets interesting reaction from the SPLC. The article has this disturbing bit of info: The only known skinhead chapter in Tennessee is based in Knoxville.

UPDATE: The SPLC blog has photos of the suspects. How do these people accumulate so much hate at such a young age? Scary.

UPDATE: Memphis Commercial Appeal.

UPDATE: Associated Press reports from one suspect's home town. "He was a quite person."

UPDATE: Tennessee in the New York Times. Again.

UPDATE: If anyone cares, here's what I think. Like everyone else, I'm glad these two idiots got caught. It sounds like they had the means and the motive for some serious mayhem. Thankfully, their limited mental abilities prevented the opportunity, this time. (Chris Matthews said "diminished capacity" was their obvious defense.) Their threats against school children are the most disturbing, because attempting to carry them out would be much more plausible than their bizarre and ridiculous assassination plot. But all threats against presidential candidates must be taken seriously. This is domestic terrorism, plain and simple. Unfortunately, we can't discuss it here at KnoxViews because of the element these types of topics attract. If anyone wants to talk about it you can go here.

UPDATE: More details about the investigation and arrest emerge, including this: Bond said he believes more people are involved in the conspiracy and that authorities are trying to break the code on a Web site for more information.
