Rachael and Keith, take on the Viper Militias connection and the threat to President Obama
The nut case gun toting buffoon seen at a town hall where the President was speaking, interviewing other gun toting jack boots,.... well turns out he has an interesting connections to Timothy McVeigh and the militia movement of the 90's. He was/is a member of the Viper Militia, who collected ammunition in the 90's in anticipation of a government takeover?? The bushies let these militias bloom in secret during the 8 years they ran this country into the ground.. and here they come again.

They are now trying to intimidate democracy by toting guns at town halls. This has nothing to do with 2nd amendment rights, but is a threat to the democracy from right wing gun toting loony tunes


"Activist Who Staged Gun Interview At Obama Event Was Prominent Defender Of '90s Militia
By Justin Elliott - August 18, 2009, 6:47PM
Ernest Hancock, the online radio host who staged an interview with an assault rifle-wielding associate at the Obama event in Arizona yesterday -- and was himself armed with a 9 millimeter pistol -- was a vocal supporter and friend of right-wing anti-government militia members who were convicted of conspiracy and weapons charges in the 90s.

2. It is just chilling.. to think these people have been simmering in secret
and now are going mainstream on radio etc. It is about as scary as it gets.

3. You know Michelle and the girls and his
extended family and friends are very concerned..as are we.

We know how stupid some Americans have gotten through hate radio. Isn't that how Rwanda was incited? Through hate radio?

6. Its Time for the Brown Shirt Bullies to deVolve into extinction. Our Society has no place for these
dudes/dudettes who harbor gross negativity and hate.

This group has been responsible for too many Administrations in Early Human History up to the present...to fall from power and sometimes, in disgrace.

How to solve for this dynamic quandry has yet to emerge...although we see glimmers of hope here and there...so far too little and not enough participation...

We neen more ways to build Commonality among opposing forces to effect symbioism that joint ventures are possible...

7. This is really important
As Rachael and Keith have done, we have to draw the link between these violent groups, the Oklahoma bombing and the reich wing Repugs, talking heads etc. Beck, Faux, Coulter,Hannity, Rush all support this nonsense and we must not allow them to hide behind their free speech media bullshit when violence occurs. They crossed the line starting in November and they are inciting these nut jobs to committ more Tiller like violence.
