Daniel Cowart, 20, and Paul Schlesselman, 18, self-described white supremacists, have been charged with plotting a “killing spree” against blacks and an assassination attempt on Sen. Barack Obama.
Both were charged with illegal possession of a sawed-off shotgun, conspiracy to rob a federally licensed gun dealer and making threats against a presidential candidate.
One law enforcement source said, “We take this very, very seriously but we see no evidence these guys have the ability or the wherewithal to pull off what they say they wanted to do.”
Obama was placed under Secret Service protection in May 2007, much earlier than other candidates…rightfully so, considering two previous cases involving threats against him. In August, three men were arrested who posed a “true threat” to the candidate. Earlier that month, a Florida man threatened to assassinate both Obama and George W. Bush.
Check out Obama’s response to this latest threat:
PALIN GONE ROGUE?
McCain advisers have suggested that his vice presidential candidate, Sarah Palin, is “going rogue”.
Sources say she’s gone off-message several times and even noted how “irritating” robocalls are while the campaign defended their use.
One suggests Palin is looking out for herself more than the McCain campaign: “She is a diva. She takes no advice from anyone. She does not have any relationships of trust with any of us, her family or anyone else. Also, she is playing for her own future and sees herself as the next leader of the party. Remember: Divas trust only unto themselves, as they see themselves as the beginning and end of all wisdom.”
A group of Obama supporters have created a website tell him what they want.
TellBarack.org gives visitors an opportunity to let Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama know what is important to them.
The web site includes surveys, details on several issues where visitors can comment and leave ratings and a feature where visitors can send an email to Obama. The site is not affiliated with the official Barack Obama campaign, but the site’s founders believe that with enough input from individual Americans, the Obama staff will be interested in what they have to say.
According to the founders of the site:
“Most of the information available in the media and on the web is telling Americans what Barack wants to do once he is President. But people aren’t listening close enough to what he is saying. He says it is about us. Not him. So we need to let him know what we want him to do.”
those assholes
I can’t stand Palin….
wow.
2008.
Ignorance still lives on.
That’s sad, I’m going to pray for them, they need it.
I’M GLAD THEY CAUGHT THOSE SICK BASTARDS. I’M QUITE SURE THEY ARE NOT THE LAST WE WILL NEED TO WORRY ABOUT THOUGH. BUT IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO MY PRESIDENT ALL HELL IS GOING TO BREAK LOOSE!!
After November 4th, nuts like that are going to be coming out of no where.
Glad they got caught
I think Obama should change some things about weapons posession policy in the USA… it only brings problems (in case he wins the election, something i expect and hope)
I also wanted to say CONGRATULATIONS to the Concreteloop team, its actually become my favorite blog, i can stay tuned on fashion, music and politics all in the same website
Greets from overseas!
~~~This makes my damn stomach hurt!!!!!!
wow! to be so young and so ignorant at the same time!
we have to keep Barack in our prayers cuz this is going to be a hard pill for a lot people to swallow….yeah this is progress but there are still some idiots out there!
“Most of the information available in the media and on the web is telling Americans what Barack wants to do once he is President. But people aren’t listening close enough to what he is saying. He says it is about us. Not him. So we need to let him know what we want him to do.”
I see it as a Help-me Help-You situation. He can do all he can, but we need to become leaders in our own communities as well!
I work at the boys and girls club, so i’m on the frontlines working with our kids everyday. i like it a lot and it can be so rewarding.. matter fact.. i gotta run to work now.. but i had to respond to this message. lol.
Also, WHEN ARE THE FEDS gonna START TAKING THESE THREATS SERIOUSLY DAMMIT!
and a WARNING: anyone who tries to mess with Barack when he’s in office will have a WORLD of issues following him, because so many people have love and respect for this man.
ok off to work now!
Thus is why we need to continue to PRAY for Barack and his family folx! This is only the beginning! This type of terrorism WILL NOT and SHOULD NOT deter the MINORITY population from voting!
Let’s support our candidates and show AMERICA that the minority people have a voice and we will be HEARD!
Obama/Biden 2008!
they are trying to scare people.. don’t be scared by these fools… Keep supporting your candidate! GO OBAMA/BIDEN
My Lord! I live in the Tri-State area where those to guys are from and that truly diturbed me. Not only did they want to assassinate our next president, Obama, they also planned to go to one of the local prodomeitly black high schools and perform a killing spree. We are living in perlious times and if you have faith in God you need to pray!
Sarah Palin is getting to much exposure. Obama/Biden ’08!
1 Love/ 1 God
************2008 has been a crazy ass year. I pray for Obama. And Sarah needs to sit
*********** her behind down. I can’t stand that woman
*****************These are the real haters on the world no matter what they can’t stop
**************** God’s plan next Tuesday it is going to historic YES WE CAN OBAMA
Hey Nigeria, shout out from another Nigerian.
Palin is an idiotm let her keep it up because she shouldnt have been chosen in the first place, women are smarter then John McCain thinks we are, its that simple. If we are not, then let her become second in command and we’ll see what happens to this country in the next 4 years.
I voted yesterday, unfortunately absentee, but for a good cause. There were many people voting absentee which actually doesn’t help because those votes, at least in the state of MD do not count UNTIL the next day. I’m going to VA to assist people with protecting their right to vote so there is no funny business this time around. I cannot wait, but I do hope I will not have to do much because all I want is for all of us to be able to exercise our right without intervention from those who want to stop it. Wish me luck and get out there and VOTE.
DUMB MF’S….thats a shame its 2008 !
I’ll be glad when this election is over and we are celebrating! I do fear for Barack, but I’m going to put it in God’s hands
——-You don’t know what any oneis capable of doing until it is done.
——–Hang those bastards b/f they harm or kill anyone of us !
——-The website is a great idea. We are definitely listening to what he is saying and I trust evey word ! ! ! !
Glad they caught ‘em. I hope they get vicked when they go to the joint!
It’s time for change!!! Stop the hate, Obama 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CAN YOU SAY IGNORANT!!! THIS IS CRAZY!!
GOES TO SHOW THAT EVENTHOUGH IT’S 2008, SOME PEOPLE WILL NEVA CHANGE!
Glad they caught the guys and that the FBI is on their job!
Palin gone rogue? lmao….. Please just get out an vote…..
Everyone keeps saying they pland to kill Barack and many other blacks, but what they’re not saying is those other blacks were school children. They were planning this attack at a school Brack would be speaking at. They some f***** cowards for real. These people crazy if they think they’re going to kill Barack and its going to be over just like that; it won’t.
this scares the shit outta me! people are just so crazy nowadays
obama and his family are and will STAY in my prayers….
it is very important “we” stay focused and on guard, because these redneck fools are trying to start a civil war.
I’m glad that that they caught these tormented, mentally ill people. I know what it feels like to find out that someone is or was planning to take your life and it shakes your whole foundation. I must commend Barack Obama for maintaining a positive, strong, public persona. I didn’t have secret service watching my back at the, but unlike Barack I didn’t and don’t receive death threats on the regular either. I will continue to pray that God gives him strength to carry on.
I am sick and tired of Palin and McCain. I do feel at this point they are only continuing because election day is near, and they still have an ounce of hope left. I strongly believe that Palin has unofficially launched her campaign for president 2012. I don’t think that’ll be a good look at all for anyone. She doesn’t have ANY foreign policy experience, and although she is intelligent, she needs to go brush up on her knowledge of president and vice president responsibilities, foreign countries and their leaders, domestic issues and policies, and media training. She might have a career in congress but I don’t see her as president. No. Uh-uh. Nope. HELL NO!
In the meantime we all have to be optomistic, think positive, and make sure we turn out the VOTE!!!!!
i gotcha back obama!!!!!
obama/biden 2008 vote nov 4th on time!!!!!!
you know what’s crazy to me?! i haven’t heard too many make mention of a possible assassination throughout this whole election process. i’ve thought about it- try not to think about it- but this is america…a nation of unethical decisions and that good ol DGF (don’t give a f***) attitude…gotta love it, right?!
i’m glad they got those punks, though.
It is funny our government wants to stamp out terrorist organizations like ALQUEDA-IINTERNATIONALLY BUT ALLOWS AND TURNS IT’S HEAD AND IGNORES WHITE SUPREEMISIT TERRORIST GROUPS LIKE THIS TO EXIST? BLACKS HAVE BEEN TERRORIZED FOR CENTURIES IN AMERICKKKA! MY OVERALL FEAR IS THAT THE GOVERNMENT MAY USE A GROUP LIKE THIS TO ACTUALLY ASSINATE OBAMMA! Dont trust it!~
—————————come on folks don’t fall for it. it’s a SCARE TACTIC to make you ——————————scared to vote for Obama. they fig some folks may not wanna ———————————take the risk of Obama getting hurt or worse so they won’t vote ——————— for him. or not vote for him because they’ll be too scared of what——– may happen if a black man wins the white house.
by the way, this websites comment section is set up is kinda ——————————–weird. WTF??
…………… i agree with you number 14 this has really been a gruesome year. it …………………………………….it is a leap year, my great granma always say leap ………………leap year brings the most death and preganancy.
@ OBAMMA 08 YOU ARE RIGHT! They are going to pull out all the stops now! BUT PLEASE GO OUT AND VOTE! DO NOT BELIEVE THE POLES YOU MUST VOTE TO MAKE IT HAPPEN. REGISTERING TO VOTE IS NOT ENOUGH YOU MUST GO TO THE POLES AND VOTE FOR OBAMMA ON NOV 4TH IF YOU WANT CHANGE! REGISTERING TO VOTE IS COOL- BUT VOTING IS COOLER! DO NTO BE FOOLED BY THE POLES OR THE MEDIA!
Did I miss the voting day etiquette???
we have to stay in prayer for the obama family
THIS IS MY WORRY FOR AMERICA …. I DO NOT BELIEVE PSYCHOLOGICALLY AMERICA IS READY FOR A BLACK PRESIDENT ……..
IN MY OPINION OBAMA HAS DONE ALL THAT IS NEEDED FOR AMERICA TODAY….. TO MAKE BELIEVE CHANGE CAN HAPPEN, TO MAKE PEOPLE BELIEVE PEOPLE CAN BE ACCEPTED, TO MAKE PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT NON WHITE PEOPLE HAVE A VOICE AND WILL BE HEARD, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY THAT PEOPLE ARE STILL JUDGING PEOPLE’S CREDENTIALS BASED ON SKIN COLOUR !!!!!
GOOD LUCK AMERICA …… THE WORLD IS WATCHING …
Damn, I can’t stand mo-foz who ain’t got nothin’ better to do with their miserable lives than to hate. These dudes are pathetic man
Theres no serious true ligitement threat against Barack,now adays assinators have no way of attacking a president its practically impossible how security is. He will be 100% fine.
The ignorant people dat do make threats like these guys,just want attention thats all.
GO OBAMA!!
this is the reason why election night i to like the rev. al sharpton will be in prayer, i to will forego the partying and celebrating and enter into that night my time of prayer and meditation. for this man [barack] see because i want to pray that god continues to shine his light on barack because w/ god there is nothing secret about god’s service. true the gov’ts job is to protect him, but i just what to make sure that god supercedes this gov’t detail ‘secret service’ on this mans behalf. because “the devil never sleeps”. and if that means villifying some of them hate’n racist republicans then so be it, for two whole years and counting i have heard nothing but villification coming out of them reublicans and their party’s mouth. when you have a sheriff in the state of penn. in full dress civil service uniform screaming and turning ‘devil red’ when talking about barack at a republican rally . you bet you I WILL BE praying. but in my meditation i want to that night go back in my mind and remember and think about the three civil rights workers who were murdered in phildelphia ms. or think back and say thank-you martin, rosa i see you smiling to all of the folks both black and white who gave their lives in the name of civil rights and for justice. i want to think on canada lee and paul robersen and say i too feel you. they have black listed and black-balled me too. and folks its because of black-balled trouble makers like me, you are in some of the position you are in. this race has no finish line we just keep passing the paton on to the next soliders in line. i want to meditate and say malcom x no you did not die in vain all you people who were labeled as TROUBLE MAKERS the ones who didn’t bow and paided the price that night i’ll be on my knees thanking god and asking that he/she be that beacon of hope that we will continue to look towards the hills to which cometh our help. oh you people in the south birmingham ala. the ones in selma, montgomery the marchers over the pettius bridge. and i will pray for understanding because when blacks were enduring all that pain where were the hispanics and asians who parade around calling yourselfs prejudiced thinking you are white. i didn’t see you in them jails or getting beaten lynched etc. while you hate on me . you are traveling the road the was paved by black folks and some whites—— lifes, blood sweat and tears. 1 more judasgoat to go.
@THORO I agree!! DO NOT believe the polls people!! GO VOTE and VOTE EARLY!!! We can not get cocky and think that Barack has won this election!! He has not! VOTE VOTE VOTE!!!!!
I will continue to keep Barack Obama and his family in my prayers.
VOTE OBAMA/BIDEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lmao @ 37 . I highly doubt God will be shining his light on anybody involved in politics . Stop disrespecting the Lord . Smh
Smh @ that law enforcer .. if they wanted to pull it off you damn fool they would go at nothing to do it but im glad they caught dem disgusting looking fools. its sad that were about to be in 2009 and racistim is still alive thats a damn shame its been around for so long but i blame parents they bring up alotta of their children to hate black people.. me personally i dont hate white people but i have a white friend who’s parents are racist and she cant come over to my house so she sneaks over and even doe shes not racist she’s one of my bestfriends. waht are parents teaching their kids today?? on further note OBAMA 09 !! . PALiN SiT DF DOWN
lMAOOO at 37 JuS LMAOO they said comment not write a novel
we were told by our nation’s constitution that segregation was dead. the truth is it has never ended. people like this mean promote a separation that not only destroys the people the evil is aimed at but the nation itself. america was founded as a diverse country. without our diversity we would be less than a nation. the stupidity of these men is a slap in the face to those americans who teach their children and their families that we are equal. we are one nation. if you pick one white american and one black american and cut them they will both bleed red blood. in the word of Abraham Lincoln, “A house divided against itself cannot stand.” this men represent that divided that lives as a parasitic plague on america.
Thoes white boys need to go to jail for what they did.
Sarah Palin needs to go sit down somewhere and take care of her family.
mark my words, that if something happens to barack, hell will have no fury like a people scorned. after slavery, jim crow, the assassination of our leaders, crack, and the decline of the urban neighborhood, this would be the straw that broke the black community and their supporter’s back. i pray that the powers that be do all in their power to prevent such a tragedy for the sake of the internal stability of this nation. we’re at a tipping point.
Wow. People just cant accept the fact that a black person is going to be president. Some racist white people think we blacks are so bad.. yet look at how THEY are acting! IT just makes them look even worse. Glad I did my early voting and I voted 4 the ONE the ONLY…. OBAMA!
Obama 08!!! For the change we need!
Ughh.. racist white people always complain about how we blacks are so bad.. but just look at what THEY are doing. They are the ones planning on killing people just because they cannot accept the fact that a black person is going to be leading this nation. They are just making themselves look worse. Glad I did my early voting.
OBAMA 08!!! YES WE CAN!! ITS TIME 4 A CHANGE.
THESE WHITE DEVILS WILL TRY TO DO EVERYTHING IN THEIR POWER TO SCARE BLACK PEOPLE. WE CAN SHOW THEM ON NOV. 4TH THAT WE ARE NOT SCARED OF THEM MUTHA FUCKAS. IF THEY WANT TO START A MUTHA FUCKIN RACE WAR, LET’S GO! I’M FUCKING READY FOR IT WAR WITH THESE ASSHOLES BECAUSE I’M SICK OF THESE WHITE RACIST PECKER WOOD DEVILS TRYING TO RUN THE WHOLE WORLD AND TELL EVERYBODY WHAT THE FUCK TO DO. WE HAVE TERROIST RIGHT HERE IN AMERIKKKA AND THEY WANT TO SPEND BILLIONS ON FIGHTING TERROIST OUTSIDE OF THIS COUNTRY AND FINDING BIN LADEN. JENNIFER HUDSON’S FAMILY DIDN’T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT BIN FUCKIN LADEN COMING TO KILL THEM. IT WAS BY THE HANDS OF A BLACK AMERICAN NIGGA THAT TOOK THEIR LIVES. NOW YOU TELL ME, DO YOU THINK WE GIVE A FUCK ABOUT AL QEIDA WHEN WE HAVE TERROIST RIGHT HERE IN AMERICA? PUT MORE MONEY INTO THE HOODS OF AMREICA AND GET THE FUCKIN ARMY, NAVY, AIRFORCE, AND MARINES TO COME SMOKE OUT THESE REDKNECK WHITE DEVILS AND THUG ASS NIGGAS. PUT MORE MONEY TO THAT AND THEN AMERICA WILL BE SAFE. UNTIL THEN, THIS COUNTRY IS FUCKED AND I HAVE NO FUCKIN PRIDE ABOUT BEING AN AMERICAN.
I HATE INGNORANT BASTARDS LIKE THESE THEY ALWAYS HAVE TO MAKE THE COUNTRY EVEN WORSE THAN IT ALREADY IS.
THE KKK & NAZI’S CAN ROTT IN HELL FOREVER, AND LET THEIR
BE PEACE AND UNITY IN THESE COUNTRY(US.A)
Tellbarack.com is very creative. I’m hating I didn’t think of that lol! Oh and how simple is the FL dude for wanting to knock off both Bush & Obama… as if they can be compared! He was trying to get attention. Poor child… someone go hug him lol!
We have to continue to pray for the safety of our president, Barack Obama, and his family because there are some very sick bastards in the world.
OBAMA ’08!!!!
I am soooooooo NOT surprised. Many of them have this in their blood. Sadly, this illness is passed down from generation to generation. They pass it down to their seeds or that spirit of hate dies with them. JESUS THE CHRIST IS MY LORD AND SAVIOR. HE IS THE ONLY GOD THAT I SERVE. AMEN!
——I can’t wait until these white people start to show you negroes how they really
——feel. You’re gonna have devils that stood at Barack Obama rallies with his T-shirt
——on joining the KKK, Skinheads, and the Aryan Nation. That’s the nature of the
——so-called white man. He is a serpent by nature.

All this talk of a race war and how tough the AA community is to fight back…PLEASE! We are no more than 18% of the fucking US population and you think we’re gonna make some noise? Damn Mexicans even hate us and would probably side with the whites. In Case a few of you have forgotten the government ignored needy black folks down in New Orleans for almost 7 days after Katrina went through. Don’t think for a minute they would have our back in a race war. They would mo us down in a heartbeat and claim we were out of control. Those white boys are just two of the many if not millions of KKK supporters out there. But at the same time don’t judge a book by it’s cover. In other words don’t judge the whole white race based on a couple of punks.
As for Obama being assassinated, it wouldn’t surprise me if he does because this is still Amerikkka and its not ready fro a black president. Sure there’s a lot of liberals and middle class whites voting for him to even give him a chance in the first place. Without them he wouldn’t have won the party ticket. But despite the good ones there’s a lot of bad blooded ones as well.
Keep in mind that 40 years ago that MLK was assassinated and he wasn’t even running for president. History is known for repeating itself.
I hope they don’t do nothin to Barack if he makes it. All because America ain’t ready
i’ve got a feeling that incident wont be the last….
these racist bastards think we in the 50′s and 60s …yea ok yall do something to Obama and see what happens.
Palin is a true REDNECK out the woods of Alaska! it is soooooooooooo sad that people can see right through her ,and the republican party is racist and refuse too a realize it and act as though they dont care thats why this whole campaign is so frightening with them!!!! and she is not a diva she is a countrybumpkin!!!lol
I pray for Obama every day because white lames like this continue with stupid and ignorant ideas of this country. This is why progress can never be completely made because people will never let that happen all the way!!!
Its so sad that the ELECTION is at a point where ALOT of folks (not just republican, but white folks/rednecks/racists/bigots) will be voting for McCain/Palin simply because they are “WHITE”! Nevermind that they wont do a damn bit of good for the people who need it most in this country, & nevermind the serious issues this country faces today.
People need to WAKE UP–(Its 2008), & start looking past skin color, because that is what really matters. An educated BLACK man is about to become our next President—these racist white folks need to deal with it.
