Bundy ranch speaker openly threatens war...

But if our military actually *DID* show up, he'd be the first to be waving the white flag and surrendering, and selling out his cronies.

Bundy Ranch Speaker Warns Of 'Civil War On A Vast Scale,' Promises Harry Reid Will Have His 'Balls Ripped Off'

Submitted by Miranda Blue on Wednesday, 4/30/2014 2:27 pm

In a speech to the militia members still gathered at Cliven Bundy’s ranch in Nevada last week, Mike Vanderboegh, leader of the militia group Three Percenters, warned that the country is “staring a civil war in its bloody face.”

Vanderboegh’s Three Percenters group, named after the number of American colonists they believe fought against the British in the revolutionary war, was listed in a recent Oath Keepers press release as a stalwart of the standoff at the Bundy ranch. Vandeboegh, who wrote a novel that allegedly inspired a domestic terrorist plot in 2011, is also known for his role in pushing the “Fast and Furious” scandal.

“All over this country, we are still staring civil war in its bloody face,” Vanderboegh warned the crowd, in a video posted by Tom Lacovara, the host of an anti-government radio show.

Vanderboegh claimed that Sen. Harry Reid, who has criticized the Bundy ranch militias, “is promising us all civil war on a vast scale, because state-sponsored violence is they only way they can win an argument with free people, especially free people who are armed and who are willing to use those arms in defense of liberty.”

Vanderboegh then told the legend of an Alabama woman named Jenny Brooks whose husband and son, according to Vanderboegh's version of the story, were killed by state law enforcement collecting taxes for the Confederate government. According to the tale, Brooks went after the men who had killed her family, killed two of them in return, and turned one of their skulls into a soap dish.

Vanderboegh then pulled out a skull and declared that he would present it to Reid as the “2014 Award for Incitement to Civil War.”

He added: “Don’t poke the wolverine with a sharp stick, Harry, unless you want your balls ripped off.”

He's already broken the law by inciting violence against the government which is not protected by the 1st Amendment. I suspect he will be getting a visit from the Secret Service quite soon.

yet they were treated much more harshly.

In fact, the government has done nothing to these domestic terrorists in Nevada.

The double standard is amazing when you think about it.

I say let them speak and leave them alone. That's what the admin. is doing, and I think it's good policy. We can collect taxes later. These concerned citizens can't camp out on his lawn forever.

these cowards would probably "fight" until the last woman they use as a shield is gone. Thus, their statement about the evil gubmint made, then they'll surrender.

in front of them as shields.
What we need is to invite them to play war games against the US military. One drone could take them all out.
