Retired Army general, and Fox News contributor, offers to lead disenfranchised Marines in surrounding White House. In a non-treasonous way of course.

A retired Army general and Fox News analyst told a Tea Party group that he would lead a military coup against the U.S. government, if only reluctantly. 

Paul Vallely, a retired major general and senior military analyst for the conservative news channel, told the Surprise, Arizona, Tea Party Patriots during a Dec. 3 speech that other retired military personnel and veterans groups had contacted him about the possibility. 

“I had a call this afternoon from Idaho, the gentleman said, ‘If I give you 250,000 Marines to go to Washington, will you lead them?’” Vallely said as the group laughed and gasped. “I said, ‘Yes, I will, I’ll surround the White House and I’ll surround the Capitol building, but it’s going to take physical presence to do things.” 

Yes because there are 250,000 Marines ready to commit treason by marching against this President, and surrounding his residence in a threatening manner. 

Seems totally reasonable.

He said such a protest would be a continuation of Tea Party activism. 

“The great things the Tea Party did, I mean, they were out there in the community, standing up, being seen,” Vallely said. “They did things, so we’ve got to go based on what the Tea Party has done and elevate it into something and get more younger people involved. So I don’t know how else to do it.” 

The retired general has suggested that a new George Washington could be drawn from the ranks of retired military personnel to lead an insurrection because his aims could not be achieved even through this year’s congressional midterm elections. 

“I don’t want to be criticized for starting a revolution, but I’d certainly head it if we had to,” Vallely said as the crowd applauded. “We all love a good fight if it’s worth it, right?”

Totally worth it. If you mean by "worth it" that it will result in arrest, embarrassment, and imprisonment.

I swear these Fox News/Tabagger types seem to exist in some kind of alternative universe where if they were to march toward Washington with a contingent of ex-military types that the ranks would grow until they had an army on their side large enough to challenge the might of the US Armed Forces.

Instead what is more likely to happen is that the few elderly veterans in the group would run out of air in their oxygen tanks, or the battery would go dead in their mobility scooters, and they would be forced to drop out before ever reaching their goal, and the handful that did make it would be too out of breath to chant or hold their protest signs aloft.

What a bunch of morons.
