And so the craziness begins. I have been comparing Obama to JFK because of his youthfulness and now the potential for an assassination attempt. Craziness. Give the man, and peace a chance.
NEW YORK, Oct 27, 2008 /PRNewswire-USNewswire via COMTEX/ — The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) today congratulated law enforcement for uncovering and preventing what the League called "potentially the most deadly racist shooting spree in many years, including an assassination attempt on presidential candidate Barack Obama."
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the Crockett County, Tennessee Sheriff’s Office opened an investigation that resulted in the arrest on October 22 of Daniel Cowart, 21, of Jackson, Tennessee, and Paul Schlesselman, 18, of West Helena, Arkansas. The white supremacists were charged with suspicion of possessing an unregistered firearm, conspiring to steal firearms from a federally licensed gun dealer, and threats against a major candidate for the office of president.
"The arrests of these dangerous white supremacists prevented what could have been the most serious act of domestic terrorism in recent years," said Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director. "This case shows how extreme ideologies easily lead to extreme actions."
