A group of Wisconsin militia wannabes are organizing themselves as unofficial gun toting poll watchers in heavily Democratic areas.

A self-described militia group claims to be checking names on the 2012 Scott Walker recall petition and plans to confront those found to have outstanding warrants or tax defaults at the polls on Nov. 4. 

"We prefer our people be armed," reads a Facebook post by Wisconsin Poll Watcher Militia, screen captured on a blog at Politicususa.com. "Some will be heading to some of Milwaukee, Racine, and Beloit's worst areas. We will be armed with a list of people to look for at each location." 

The exchange posted on Politicususa continues: 

Patrick Murray: "Just so you are aware, I will not report Republicans. Only Democrats." 

Wisconsin Poll Watcher Militia: "We will be targeting heavy democrat districts, so it is doubtful this will even be an issue." 

Another entry from the group's Facebook page, which has 31 likes as of Friday afternoon, reads: "Please private message us names of people you know are active voters and wanted on warrants. We can get our agents to watch their polling location, identify the individual, and then follow them to their residence. A call the police and they will be picked up for processing." 

Another: "Attention all members: Militia training will be at HQ on September 20, 2014 at 0930. We will hand out updated watch lists, duty assignments, and discuss rules and regulations. Expect it to take around 2-3 hours. After our discussion we will be headed to the range for anyone who wants to participate."

So to be clear these individuals, who are almost undoubtedly Caucasian, are going to go into heavily Democratic neighborhoods in Wisconsin, many of which are certain to be occupied by mostly non-whites, while armed and then follow voters to their homes.

Oh and if you dare to approach one of their members you risk "being put down like a rabid dog."

First off let me just say that I seriously doubt that there are many potential voters who are wanted by the police. Maybe a few, but not enough to warrant this ridiculous overreaction.

Secondly if these idiots actually start following people to their houses that is harassment, and if they are lucky the police will pick them up and escort them out of town or lock them up. If they are not so lucky they may learn that the 2nd Amendment is a knife that cuts both ways, and that, surprisingly, you do not have to be an arrogant white guy to have access to a firearm.
