Right Wing Terrorism Watch - White Supremacist/Armed Robber accused of Obama assassination plot

[ck4829]

An Onslow County inmate discharged from the Marine Corps last month after being charged with the attempted armed robbery of a Jacksonville hotel is at the heart of a Secret Service investigation into threats against the president, federal law enforcement sources said.

Kody Brittingham, 20, formerly a lance corporal with 2nd Tank Battalion, 2nd Marine Division, is the "target of an investigation" by federal authorities. His mid-December arrest by the Jacksonville Police Department on breaking and entering charges yielded evidence he posed a "credible threat" to then-President elect Barack Obama, a federal law enforcement source told The Daily News on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly about the case.

Naval investigators discovered a journal allegedly written by Brittingham in his barracks after his arrest by civilian authorities in December. The journal contained plans on how to kill the president, as well as white supremacist material, a federal law enforcement official said.

The Secret Service confirmed an ongoing investigation involving a Camp Lejeune Marine, but would not confirm Brittingham was their suspect.

1. With so many bad people here, can America succeed?

Every time I read a story about some right-wing cretin like this I weep for the future of our once-great nation. Short of the Rapture (please, Lord, please) I can't think of any way we will ever get rid of the knuckle-dragging contingent. They will be the death of America, dragging us thinking people down with them.

The dominance of conservatism and right-wing nuttery, capped by the Bush Disaster, has left America staggering. They will not let up until there is nothing left.

2. They have dominated

But now because they are a majority, because they are so freakin' loud and obnoxious, and were enabled by a centralized media. It is the job of all good people to make sure they never dominate again with their hatred, fear and intolerance.
