How do you know Angry@ is not a Constitutional attorney? How can you assume ANY knowledge of him based solely on his observation?

If your members want to be taken seriously for anything but the gun-power so many of them brag about on these blogs, you will be required to rationally address the objections of non-member readers, or take your place in the line-up of right-wing-nut orgs that have destroyed all vestiges of credibility in the conservative movement.

On the YT clip, Rhodes states:

"They call you an Extremist. So what they're calling you is a terrorist. They're saying 'You're the equivalent of Timothy McVeigh."

Talk about a stretch...This inflammatory rhetoric is the hallmark of the org.

Fringe lunatics though some may believe them to be, a Caution to all who underestimate these people; their numbers are not accurately reflected at this event.

Here is the best indicator of what these people intend for those who disagree with them, taken directly from their site:

22. The problem is, we can’t just kill them in the streets.
Nor can we try them for treason and summarily execute them.
But we CAN make their worthless lives miserable, by having a
few of us at their heels at all times. Surveillance of their homes
and offices, tracking their movements, greeting their public
appearances with non-violent protests.
Active Law enforcement and Military who are members are too smart to have appeared at this event.

@ leftandsmart, I hope you're ready. We'll need you....

Hopefully that makes you feel better. I'm sure you saw what you wanted to see rather than what was actually there. Not that I would expect anything different from a non-informed progressive liberal who understands absolutely nothing about what our constitution represents and proceeds to knock the people who swear to uphold it.

Angry@Imbeciles wrote on October 27, 2009 10:34 AM: Just watched the video of these clowns at Texas Station. Not a person of color in the entire thing.

Lot of unemployed, angry white men crying like little girls that a black man is President. Cry little girls cry.

By the way you dorks. The short hair guys with the ZZtop beards are SKIN HEAD RACISTS! Fools!

That's how Republicans stifled Democrats' efforts at improving domestic issues (infrastructure, regulation, education, health care, etc) for the first half of this decade.

crazy or what? wrote on October 26, 2009 04:47 PM: mad wrote on October 25, 2009 09:43 AM: THe Constitution was not written to reflect a Republican/Democrat paradigm. I didn't read in the article that these men suppport or condemn Obama or Bush. They seem to recognize a building threat more powrful than a political party or president.

And most here are forgetting just the other day; Obama declares a National emergency over the swine flu. What was that Presidential Order signed by Bush; in a National emergency, the President can declare Martial Law with NO say so needed from Congress.

I wonder how many people are going to remember calling other people “nut jobs” or “wing nuts”, if they are forced at the end of a gun to line up and get a vaccine or carted off to a special camp for the sick.

Joe C wrote on October 26, 2009 11:16 AM: To think twice,

My suggestion if our elected leaders do the job they were elected to do and not become corrupted by their position and enrich friends or those wealthy responsible for helping them win election.
Than they would not have to be labeled in a manner you find distasteful.

Again we need no more proof about failure, inaptness or corruption than the condition of our country.

The one vote all Americans have as far as choosing leaders is the president; we are pretty much at the mercy of how others vote when it comes to congress.

Our presidential leaders all come out of the same factory producing the same product with different names.
When citizens vote, we are now always voting for what we feel is the lesser of two evils.
Not someone we feel good about.
The system itself has become corrupted and controlled, and when voting it’s like voting for the flu or pneumonia, not matter how you vote you will be sick afterwards.

It’s not criminal to have an opinion about our criminals we elected, of course, with the new hate crime laws, it soon could be.

think twice wrote on October 26, 2009 10:42 AM: Joe C, a reminder: you are using "criminals and cons not doing their jobs" to describe Presidents elected by the American people in Democratic elections.

Who's the criminal here?
