A spokesman for a group that hopes to oust President Barack Obama from office by rallying next week in Washington fears the president will attack participants with a drone strike.
Terry Trussell, chief of staff for Operation American Spring, told “Patriot Nation” radio host Mark Hoffman that organizers are “expecting the unexpected,” reported Right Wing Watch – including a possible drone strike.
The conservative radio host warned protesters to be prepared for the worst if they attended the May 16 rally, which organizers have claimed would draw 10 million – possibly even 30 million – participants.
“People are going to be down there for days, (and) I said you might want to bring a bug-out bag of sorts, because you never know what’s going to happen down there, you may have to run for your life,” Hoffman warned. “It may never happen, they just go peacefully, these guys may step down and we’ll all pat each other on the back and say ‘God bless America, let’s get back to the Constitution and move on.’” (Yes what a likely scenario THAT would be.)
But he still advised participants to bring emergency supplies, walkie-talkies, and stay in small groups to remain safe from pro-government agents.
“Get together and stay together and be safe, always keep your eyes open because I’m sure there’s going to be people from the liberal-left-progressive side, the Marxists, the anti-freedom and liberty people, in the crowd starting trouble, that’s almost a guarantee,” Hoffman said.
The organizer claims to have a deal with D.C. law enforcement to help deal with the "Marxists," however he does fear one thing.
The event organizer warned Obama that an attack on his opponents would most likely backfire.
“Now if something bigger happens, you know, they can pull in drones, but when the government destroys the capital just to get rid of us, I think it’s going to work to their discredit,” Trussell said.
Yes, of course the President would attack a group of protesters with a drone on American soil. Because you know that would certainly be something that a constitutional professor would deem reasonable.
What a dipshit.
I can hardly wait to hear about the actual number that show up at this "rally." I would be really impressed if it attracted even a thousand people.
The fact that they are predicting in excess of 10 million shows how deeply deranged these people are.
No way they will get that many idiots to show up. What a bunch of fools.
ReplyDeleteAnd whoever does show up will be filmed and ID'd. Please proceed, racist secessionists.

ReplyDeleteSaint Ronald Reagan, the gop patron saint, is responsible for this. He closed all the insane asylums during his reign, too many republicans were being admitted. He was likely in the early stage of Alzheimers when he did this.
DeleteThese people are too crazy . . . I got nothing.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure whether to feel sorry for them or be scared that so many completely delusional people are walking around freely.
DeleteWatching what is going on in the USA today - this, as well as the continued obstruction of our government by the Republicans in the United States Congress - reflects a 'minority' of the population being a sick part of our nation.
ReplyDeletePoor President Obama! All of this because he is half black and half white and Hillary Clinton 'might' run for POTUS!
Idiots!
And I NEVER want to hear some imbecile tell me that Obama never got anything done. Imagine the progress we could have made with his ideas and leadership. The hope that this nation felt in 2008 has been squelched but the gop and their crazy followers.
DeleteIf anybody has a right to march to protest foul play, it's progressives and the Obamas themselves.
I'm not a blood-thirsty person, but whenever I hear
Delete"Benghazi," I want to point out that it was Democratic President Obama who supervised the tracking down and killing of Osama bin Laden.
Not accomplished by George W. Bush, Republican, who had more than seven years in which to accomplish what was one of his main arguments for our two disastrous wars.
Another talking point is Reagan's Beirut in 1983.
The GOP would do well to walk away from this topic, since they only look incompetent and corrupt.
Their followers are sticktly nut cases. So, I wonder if the PayMe's will attend?
DeleteGryphen, if this is a survey, put me down for the drone attack, please.
ReplyDelete(you have to admire the uniquely exceptional, severely conservative Amercian optimism in the guy's apparent belief that taking out a bunch of trigger-happy, treasonous backwater douchenozzles like them will require the destruction of Washington, D.C.. Cuz that's a bet I'm willing to take.)
Sorry Beldar, if anything would come after them it would not be a drone it would be fighter jets.
DeleteBut put me down in the survey for the same 40 peeps that show up to all the wackadoodle events from the tea baggers.
More like the sharpshooters on the white house roof and the small army of secret service that stay there 24/7 would deal with them first.
DeleteM from MD
Let's not bicker amongst ourselves. How about a compromise: attack helicopters first (go Apache!), then fighter jets (F16?), then sniper scouts/sharpshooters (Barrett MRAD, perhaps?) and THEN drones?
DeleteYep, I'm with you. why bother the police with having to clean their rifles or touch and catch some disease from these filthy vermin.
DeleteDear Mr. Trussell -
ReplyDeleteI know you didn't ask but I have a suggestion. Why don't you and the folks who are coming bring along your biggest, baddest guns. You can wear them slung over your shoulders or tucked into your (likely massive) waistbands. Head for a really pretty, wide street lined with cool buildings called Pennsylvania Avenue. When you get to the 1600 block you'll see a nice white house. Stop there. And then start chanting all the vile, racist, seditionist, tinfoil hat, end of the world crap that fuels your little band of merry men. Things should get really exciting really fast.
Have a great day. And good luck coming up with the bail money.

"The organizer claims to have a deal with D.C. law enforcement to help deal with the "Marxists." This deal must not have been arranged in person or he could have seen the eye rolling.
Heh, half of them will have their fat asses plastered to the seats of their scooters with equipped with oxygen tanks, smoking five packs a day all the while.

DeleteRemember the 10 truckers that showed up to slow traffic in DC !!!! Fox News was advertising it for weeks. ha ha ha
ReplyDeleteYeah, and showing other traffic jams pretending it was the DC truckers. So expect video of other events, all the while pretending these idiots are not traitors and terrorists.
DeleteThese people sound like terrorists, so they deserve to be dunked, I mean baptized. No, they are traitors, trying to overthrow the democratically elected government. (Don't try and pull that old American Revolution stuff. The British Government imposed rule. They were not chosen by the colonists).
ReplyDeleteThe crazy are becoming more emboldened. Crawling out of their dark fetid holes and into the light. Like I didn't know I had a vole problem, until the snow melted a couple of weeks ago. The fuckers were scurrying around and breeding little voles out of sight, like vermin are prone to do. Vermin know they are vermin, and to survive, they must scurry about in the shadows. Now that they are out in the open, I can easily trap them, eliminating the problem. Rats have never been popular. The government has always subsidized their extermination. And it is much easier when the flea, disease infested critters are out in the open. Where is Bill Fulton when we need him?
ReplyDeleteWhat is really going to happen? They are going to get a hundred or so idiots in Lafayette Park carrying homemade signs with misspelled words. Yeah... take that BarryO.

I was wrong -- Armed Forces Day is Saturday the 17th.
DeleteThese meatballs are still going to try to piggyback onto the veterans' activities, I'd wager.
They have a name for those nasty paranoid imbeciles.

And since they can't carry their penis extensions into town, just how are they going to force legally elected officials to 'step down?' From what I've read, they are not happy with Boehner either...so I guess they want the entire Congress out. Then what?

Besides, we right-as-rain Amurikans use church on Sunday for that being forgiven thing, anyways. It's good for a whole week! Once we get that Commie N-word out of the White House and get whatever pure Patriot we want inside, all will be OK in our little universe and we won't need (insert any loony RWNJ media outlet) anymore.

"...these guys may step down and we’ll all pat each other on the back and say ‘God bless America, let’s get back to the Constitution and move on.’”
ReplyDeleteHonestly, the rank stupidity in the "thought" processes behind that statement -- leaves me nearly speechless.
Don't they see that they're violating that same Constitution if they are successful in their actions?
Obviously the chances of that are infinitesimally small because nearly every citizen and all agencies and departments don't agree with them...
No. They don't see that.
DeleteBecause they think the constitution is only for them, not anyone that disagrees with them. They are the elite and they and only they get the protections of the constitution.
That is one of the definitions of Fascism. That the elite are the only ones with "democracy" and everyone else lives under a totalitarian dictatorship. That's what this band of "patriots" wants to create in America.
Well, Corporatism really, since Fascism is the marriage of corporations and the state. That's already happened. Just look at the recent decisions of the Supreme Court.
They've never read the Constitution.
DeleteJust like they've never read the bible they always insist everyone must follow, regardless of their personal religion or lack thereof.
They're just terms they use because they heard Rush or Glenn or some right wing nutjob on Fox use them and they sounded Smart.
What exactly is meant by "our house?" One can only presume that it means some "rightful" reclaiming of the presidency by a white American mail. Also, how ironic is it that these lunatics hijack a term (i.e., "spring") whose popularity was forged in a cauldron of rebellion in a part of the world that many of them would not hesitate to nuke if they had their finger on the proverbial button.
ReplyDeleteI, for one, cannot wait to see this little exercise fall flat on its face and expose these treasonous, cunty, second amendment fetishist pricks for the bigots they really are.
They want to take back the White House, emphasis on the WHITE, throw out the (legally elected) usurpers and, I guess, occupy it. Put some cars up on blocks on the front lawn, some old couches on the front portico. Start a pile of empties in the side yard. Maybe put a still out back.
DeleteInteresting that after egging these and similar clowns on all over the country, traitor Palin keeps her big fat mouth shut when her drooling fans actually act on her constant lies about the President trashing the constitution.
ReplyDeleteThat is typical of those cowardly incitors. Remember that guy that called for an armed militia to walk into DC, and then at the very end, HE, the instigator, backed out? (Didn't he actually get arrested, after he posted a video of him bearing some gun, showing him to be in DC?)
DeleteOh look! Sarah's endorsee is such a tough guy, he's wrestling alligators! What a dolt!
ReplyDeleteGOP Senate Candidate Wrestles An Alligator In His First Ad
...In the television ad, Maness rides an airboat and wraps tape around an alligator's snout as he pledges to repeal the Affordable Care Act, fight wasteful spending and protect gun rights.
"Here in Louisiana you learn to be tough," Maness says. "One moment of weakness and the alligators could eat you alive."
Maness also picked up some much-needed steam Thursday as he received an endorsement from former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R). He is considered a grassroots-backed alternative to Rep. Bill Cassidy (R-La.).
Cassidy, Maness and state Rep. Paul Hollis (R) will all be on the same ballot as Landrieu November 4. If no candidate reaches 50 percent of the vote the race will continue to a December runoff.

Republicans Sour On The Tea Party, Poll Shows
The number of Republicans who call themselves supporters of the tea party has dropped 20 points in the last four years, a new survey from Gallup has found.
The survey, released Thursday, found 41 percent of registered Republicans and Republican-leaning independents saying they support the tea party. This represents a steep drop from when Gallup previously asked the question in November 2010, at which point 61 percent of registered Republicans classified themselves as tea party supporters.
A 48-percent plurality of Republicans now either express no opinion or say they neither support nor oppose the tea party, a jump of 14 points since 2010. While Democrats and Democratic-leaners have grown more solidified in their opposition, they have not had as big a swing as GOP voters.

DeleteHillary: Guns and Benghazi
ReplyDeleteEven before we figure out the dynamic of the 2014 election, the 2016 race is taking shape nicely. Three events this week point to an emerging consensus about the presidential race.
The first is Hillary's carefully calibrated comment about gun legislation. She opined that the nation's gun culture has gotten "way out of balance" and we should counter the notion that "anybody can have a gun, anywhere, anytime." Put aside whether you agree or disagree. The real significance is what it tells us about her campaign. She's learned that her "president-in-waiting" strategy of 2008 left her vulnerable to a primary challenge from the left. No more backing away from the concerns of the Democratic base. She's leading the party, early, on the tough ones. If she continues, no one will touch her.
The second is the House Republican special committee on Benghazi, led by tea party favorite Trey Gowdy. Rep. Gowdy has been clear about who he's after: "I'm ready to send subpoenas to Hillary Clinton." Again, put aside whether there is anything to this manufactured hoo-hah. The House is spending time and political capital on attacking Hillary, for real. They've also figured out who they will face.
The third is the victory by mainstream right-winger Thom Tillis in the North Carolina Republican senatorial primary. He got the needed 40 percent against a particularly bizarre set of tea party opponents. Big corporate and establishment money apparently saved the GOP from another wacko Senate candidate. That's not to say Tillis was not pushed way, way to the right (he dutifully denied the existence of climate change). It's just we won't get as much "legitimate rape" and nostalgia for slavery. (North Carolina does sell license plates with the Confederate flag, though.) In 2014 and in 2016, swing states are not likely to veer to the right.
Put it all together and we have two party agreement that Hillary will be the Democratic candidate, that she understands the leftward shift in the Democratic Party, and the Republicans will have to come up with some damn thing to beat her. It won't be Benghazi but they're going to try all kinds of things.
It's by no means a settled dynamic.

DeleteRepublican Kept Dead Mother Hidden In Freezer To Collect Her Social Security Checks
ReplyDeleteRepublicans know a lot about defrauding government programs–after all, they tell us it is happening all the time. Jon Whiteford, for instance, kept his mother in a freezer for three years while he cashed her Social Security checks.
When the Pulaski County Sheriff’s Office began to investigate what happened to his mother Faye Whiteford, her son dumped her body in an abandoned house and killed himself.
The investigation began when the Social Security Administration contacted Sheriff Todd Wood in February, spurring on an investigation into what happened to the elder Whiteford. The results of the investigation were chilling.
“Jon stored her in a freezer from 2011 until around Christmas of 2013 when he was forced to leave his home,” said Lt. Brett Whitaker of the Pulaski County Sheriff’s Department.
During a later interview with Whiteford on March 29 at the house next door to his repossessed home, he pulled out a pistol and killed himself in front of a deputy.
“He just got himself into trouble, and once you do something like that, there is really no way out,” said Whiteford’s friend, Al Fried. “He couldn’t face it and that’s probably why he ended his life. He wasn’t a bad person, it’s just that he did one bad thing and from that one bad thing led to other bad things.”
Faye Whiteford’s body was found wrapped in a tarp in an abandoned Wayne County home on April 23.
Given his Second Amendment solution to the problem and his obvious expertise in defrauding the government, it is no surprise that Pulaski County voter registration records reveal that he votes Red.

Wonder if after a few hours they'll fork over money to take the White House tour. Because that's probably as close and they're going to get to taking over the government.
Rally, schmally. DC has so many rallys it's hard to keep track of them. Here's a hint, protesters. Law enforcement can block the bridges so.you.can't.escape. Think about it. The Marine barracks in DC. Andrews AFB. The Marine base at Quantico. There was a protest back in the 70s (god I'm getting old) where students threatened to shut down DC. There were armed soldiers arm distance apart from Arlington to the Capitol and on the other bridges as well. Good luck.

Are they planning to loot Michelle's WH garden for lettuce, which must be a couple of inches tall by now? Are they planning to rent portapots, or just use the bushes? My God, the loony right needs some help.

DeletePalin Backs Alligator Taming Senate Candidate
ReplyDeletehttp://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/05/08/palin-backs-alligator-taming-senate-candidate.html
Just like Palin, the conservative candidate has had his brushes with controversy.
In March, Maness drew criticism when he told The Hill that had he been in the Senate, he would have opposed Hurricane Katrina relief funding. He later clarified the statement to the Times-Picayune, saying he "would have been as strong as any advocate for aid for the people of Louisiana" after Katrina.
Maness also picked a fight with the incumbent Democratic senator after Landrieu referred to some of her colleagues on Capitol Hill as "obnoxious" last year. Maness took that to mean she believed all unpopular opinions were similarly obnoxious. Speaking to a conservative audience in November, Maness said Landrieu might take issue with his family's decision to name their dog after Abigail Adams, since she opposed slavery supported women's rights when they were "very unpopular ideas."
