We're not calling for a coup, honest!
The right-wing "RestoreTheRepublic.com" has posted this video in hopes that it's passed around to service personnel.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wphcVB_gCD0

(Bold face mine)

"Today, I want to reach out to all of the men and women who are serving in the United States Armed Forces, in law enforcement, and in the intelligence services.

With our country on the brink of complete economic collapse, engaged in two wars, a military stretched to thin overseas, and the constitution discarded by our representatives in Washington, we call upon you to recall your oath of enlistment to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic and join those of us who are working to restore our constitutional republic.

There are clear and immediate domestic threats to the republic and the people of the United States. With the increasing threat to the right to bear arms and the well regulated militia, the people's ability to preserve a free state has been drastically limited.

Therefore, we call upon you disobey any order that infringes upon the rights enumerated in our constitution.

Many of your brother and sisters have given their lives for the freedoms we hold so dear and that make our nation strong. Our representatives in Washington are not listening to the people, we have petitioned the government only to be met with repeated injuries.

The founders forged a perfect union and administration after administration has strayed further and further from their intent.

Upholding your oath may require the detention of elected officials. Following your oath, obeying the Nuremberg principles and preventing a rogue government from committing crimes against the people is not a military coup, it is protecting the Constitution, your highest obligation.

We the people need you at our side during these times, please join us as we restore the republic together.

Long live the republic."

2. I think the diehard neocons were pissed that Bush never declared martial law
Could it be they're trying to force Obama into doing it in the future?

6. I say someone turn their asses in. I want them in Guantanamo

from now on, anyone who issues a direct threat to Obama heads down there to get "freedom tickled". Or better yet, lock them up with a bunch of big burly inmates convicted of murder and let it be known that these guys wanted to take down our first African American president by force (and give them the impression these people might also be serial child molesters).

7. I just flagged the video...
and referred to be treasonous as the reason. Hopefully Youtube will forward the video clip of the hateful morons to the right authorities.

9. those fuckers better be ready. there will be a bunch of us
on the other side of the barricades fighting tooth and nail to retain OUR CHOICE of government. These fucking assholes deserve nothing more than a few days in jail getting their testicles threatened by a couple of german shepherds and then we'll see how tough guy they are.

14. And yet, there are so many here who can't guffaw hard enough at this type of thing
When posts about the depraved insanity occurring on Free Republic with their members calling for similar types of activity as this; still griping about the effing Birth Certificate; referring repeatedly to the "treasonous" acts committed by Obama and how it's up to dedicated "patriots" like themselves to "set things right again."

One thread on FR even asked, "where's Lee Harvey?" And yet folks here just laugh and laugh. I don't see a damned thing funny about any of this. At the very least, it speaks to a sense of manic paranoia which is unhealthy and at its worst, I think it is profoundly dangerous. Yes, Freepers and their ilk are fools, but even a fool given a weapon can do you harm until he's stopped.

16. Aren't most law enforcement officers Democrats (unions and all)?
The wingnuts seem to think that anyone with a gun agrees with their stupidity.

17. These people are really sick. These dog whistles they keep
tossing out really need to stop. The SS needs to start making examples of some of these people.
