Planning An Assassination
Paul Schlesselman and Daniel Cowart have been arrested and charged with plotting to assassinate Senator Obama and murder black school children. Eric Lichtblau writes in the New York Times that the "assassination was to be the culmination of a 'killing spree' that would also single out children at an unnamed, predominantly black school, federal officials said. The men talked of 'killing 88 people and beheading 14 African-Americans.'" The numbers 88 and 14 are not accidental. "The number 88 is shorthand for 'Heil, Hitler'--H is the eighth letter in the alphabet--and 14 signifies a 14-word mantra among white supremacists: 'We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children.'"

the definition of assassination. " means to: injure or destroy unexpectedly and treacherously. To murder by sudden or secret attack for personal reasons. Daniel Cowart and Paul Schlesselman probably do not know or understand the meaning of assassination. In their cold hearts, assassination means "HATE" These two men have hate for Black people on their hearts; so deep that they actually think they can hurt the black race. As a people we all must band together and stop this act of hurting others. We must protect our leaders and raise children to abolish anger.
