Lock 'em up & throw away the key. Of course, you probably wouldn't have to lock the door to the cell. Turning the door knob might baffle them.

Zhombre, maybe a twist-tie securing the door to the frame, just for extra security.

I live in East Tennessee and I've heard several times that Obama will never make it past a couple months in office. Many here seem to believe that he will be assassinated if he gets elected. It really suprised me when I heard it from a high school kid at the grocery the other day. Then I heard it again today in an insurance office. I've heard it other places too. That crap is NOT what I want to hear. I have no use for Obama of any of his type, but we are America and the VOTE is what works around here. These idiot "skinheads" were probably so tanked up on drugs they thought they were "10 feet tall and bulletproof"....sounds like a real drug dream thing to me. I hope it is anyway.

This stuff is getting old. What is this the second time people have been arrested trying to kill obama? It is painfully clear that there are still plenty of old-school racists out there that we need to distance ourselves from. We need to be vigilant advocates of our beliefs, but careful not to fan the flames of intolerance.

I am not even sure if Pravda could convince me that this was a serious plot from what I have read.

According to Yahoo, their plan was to dress up in white tuxedos and top hats while they killed? I mean I am known for making a dramatic fashion from time to time, but seriously?

These nogoodniks indeed deserve the gulag if the claims against them are true.

Have you seen the picture of one of these punks posted at Crittenden's blog? A "skinhead" who doesn't have a shaved head but does wear glasses and lipstick? I hate to sound like a conspiracy nut, but has anyone looked into the possibility that this was an elaborate hoax staged to make the Socialist Snob's foes look bad?

yes, I saw the pics... I don't think that he has any makeup on, just that he is rather delicate.

I'm sure that will be a feature in prison that his new best friends will come to admire.

"It is painfully clear that there are still plenty of old-school racists out there that we need to distance ourselves from. We need to be vigilant advocates of our beliefs, but careful not to fan the flames of intolerance."

Oops. Too late.

"I hate to sound like a conspiracy nut, but has anyone looked into the possibility that this was an elaborate hoax staged to make the Socialist Snob's foes look bad?"

It doesn't necessarily have to involve any elaborate staging, these people are probably just what they appear to be. But I don't think it would be such a stretch that some Obama supporter who happened to know them might covertly goad them into doing something like this, just so they could say, "See? We told you McCain was stirring up hate."

Ah, and I see someone was doing just that even as I was posting the previous comment. Nice try, Luigi.

CY, your comment triggered a thought: a large number of commenters at the conservative blogs I read are condemning the "plot to kill Obama" and then in the next sentence snickering cruelly at the prospect of these dirtbags becoming victims of violent abuse in prison.

Does no one else see a slight inconsistency here? Why should we care any more -- or any less -- about protecting the Snob from violence he stirred up than about protecting these (or any other) punks from violence that they stirred up?

"about protecting the Snob from violence he stirred" - wolfwalker

Ya, how dare "the snob" be openly half-black, he just asking for it. THINK BEFORE YOU TYPE !!!

Wrong, idiot.

I don't give a damn what color he is -- black, white, red, bronze, brown, or pink with purple polka dots. Or any mixture thereof. He's stirring up violence by what he says and by the behavior he encourages in his followers.

Oh, and lest anyone repeat Nathan's misunderstanding: I am not advocating anything except consistency in one's attitudes. Punish people for breaking the law, as specified by the law. All people. All should be equal before the law, regardless of their background. But nothing further. Even scum like race-supremacists don't deserve the kind of jailhouse abuse you're so casually wishing on them.

wolfwalker,

If I may posit, I believe the reason "a large number of commenters ..." believe the Justice System as it is does not actually punish criminals for their crimes. Therefore, they (I include myself) see 'jailhouse violence' as the punishment the System fails to deliver.

Thus, they don't have a problem 'not condeming it'.
