Teabaggers Declare Obama ‘Training To Kill Gun Owners’ Over Routine National Guard Drill

In case you have not heard, Obama’s stormtroopers in the Ohio National Guard have been making preparations to mobilize against innocent Second Amendment-loving citizens. In a recent drill, the National Guard enacted mock scenario as part of a counterterrorism training exercise in which, as WSAZ describes it: The make-believe scenario is timely. Two school employees who are disgruntled over the government’s interpretation of the Second Amendment, plot to use chemical, biological and radiological agents against members of the local community.



The Scioto County first responders and the Ohio Army National Guard 52nd Civil Support Unit tackled this appalling scenario head-on–and the right wing is losing its collective mind. It’s insane to think that “Second Amendment supporters,” as they often call themselves would ever consider doing anything violent as a result of their inability to understand the Constitution. After all, it’s not like they are trying to build F#$%ING DEATH RAYS or anything. Besides, we know only Muslims commit acts of terrorism…right?

Despite that the fictional terrorists were associated with a neo-Nazi leader rather than the Tea Party, that little fact does little to diminish the paranoid, right-wing lunacy surrounding the counterterrorism exercise. The Stupid Party isn’t too concerned that the 52nd Civil Support team was drilling in assisting civilian agencies’ response to chemical and biological weapons.

Of course it’s much easier to simply claim that the “terrorists” are gun-toting, Bible-banging, Second Amendmenting good guys who have loved their country since Jesus wrote the Constitution in 2009. All over the “white wing” we have been hearing report after report of Obama’s stormtroopers practicing armed opposition to people who love their guns since mediatrackers first reported this atrocity.

Conveniently ignoring that the teachers were following orders from a white nationalist leader to poison students in an effort to advance a pro-Second Amendment agenda and that the exercise dealt with containment and decontamination, Buckeye Firearms Association spokesman Chad Baus told MediaTrackers “It is a scary day indeed when law enforcement are being trained that Second Amendment advocates are the enemy.” He did not explain in what manner the invented terrorists were run-of-the-mill “Second Amendment advocates.”

Just like the windbag from Texas saying Obama is training terrorists at children ages. Anyone that believes in the crap they are telling people explains why there are cult leaders that can control hundreds with lies to get their money and control. Ring wingnuts are also saying Obama is like Hitler. Many of them are so outraged because Obama is black that they have spent the past 6 years trying their best to fake a justification for hating him.

Any time that a drill like this is done in LE or the military you need to look at how the scenario would be received for PR purposes. You don't keep public confidence by putting up appearances that you are not on their side, or by giving hacks anything they can spin to look like it.

Same would go if they used a fictional bad guy from the Occupy movement, folks here would be all out of shape if they ran the same drill using Occupiers as the bad guys.

doesn't the 2nd state that if you have a gun, you are suppose to be part of the state militia? Why aren't those loud mouth gun toting tea bagging lard butts out there helping to stop those loud mouth gun toting neo-Nazi lard butts?

I am tired of their whining, if they don't want to be part of a well regulated militia, they should give up their guns.

The extreme right represents a far greater threat to this nation than religious extremists from abroad.

I'm a lot more apprehensive about some of my old school acquaintances who have gone full-bore Tea Party, than I am about anything that Al Qaeda is likely to throw at us.....

Chemical, biological and radioactive agents and not guns?

Wouldn't that make them science extremists?
