# Talk:Barack Obama assassination plot in Tennessee

Hey guys. I've been working on the 2008 Barack Obama assassination scare page. In light of this new alleged plot, I changed that page to 2008 Barack Obama assassination scare in Denver and created this one to differentiate the two. I've only got two sources on this page right now, but I plan to add more info from more sources in the upcoming days. If you guys contribute to this page, I'd suggest using the Denver page as a basis for comparison (and if anyone wants to improve on that one, that would of course be welcome!). Thanks guys! -- Hunter Kahn (talk) 05:45, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Why this is notable? I guess Dubya got thousands of threats like this? --Matthiasb (talk) 19:24, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
It was widely covered by the mainstream press.  See WP:NOTE.  This subject clearly satisfies the general guidelines.  If you can find any information about assassination threats against President Bush that were widely covered by the mainstream press, they probably deserve articles too.

Since when did a grand jury have 23 members? Whatever happened to 12?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.99.104.234 (talk) 01:27, 20 November 2008 (UTC) 
Since the beginning of Anglo-American common law, a grand jury is usually larger than a petit jury which is traditionally 12. A grand jury determines if there is enough evidence for a trial usually by examining evidence presented to them by a prosecutor. If an indictment is returned by a grand jury, a petit jury determines guilt (conviction) or not guilt (acquittal). Naaman Brown (talk) 22:27, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Were'nt the guys who tried to kill Obama members of the Sons of Silence? If they were, it isn't mentioned.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.202.94.119 (talk) 15:24, 5 May 2009 (UTC) 

BAn RfC: Which descriptor, if any, can be added in front of Southern Poverty Law Center when referenced in other articles? has been posted at the Southern Poverty Law Center talk page. Your participation is welcomed. – MrX 16:31, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

Cite [2] is dead, meaning that many of the claims in this article are invalid. 101.98.88.223 (talk) 10:00, 29 November 2017 (UTC)

Is the text in one of these (or perhaps try the Wayback Machine)? http://archive.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2008/10/28/skinhead_plot_news_sweeps_suspects_tenn_hometown/    http://www.stategazette.com/story/1473547.html  Sjö (talk) 12:15, 29 November 2017 (UTC)
I fixed it. However, the fact that there was a dead link would not have made the statements invalid as WP:VERIFY makes it clear that the source doesn't have to be available on the web. Doug Weller talk 16:29, 29 November 2017 (UTC)
