Anti-Health Care Reform Protester Encourages Physical Violence, Use Of Firearms
Edited on Fri Aug-07-09 02:37 PM by Joanne98
Based on the news that health care events are edging into violence, an anti-health care reform protester in New Mexico named Scott Oskay is calling on his hundreds of online followers to bring firearms to town halls, and to 'badly hurt' SEIU and ACORN counter protesters.





Popularized in part by conservative blogger Michelle Malkin, the hashtag symbol he's using, #iamthemob, has gone viral on twitter, appearing several times a minute according to a recent search.

Anti-reform activists have scheduled a protest outside SEIU Missouri offices tomorrow, and officials there are taking these threats seriously.

6. Who needs Al Qaeda? We have our own right here.
This is not even anti-health. This is anti-sanity. Not that violence is justified really...ever, but at what point does someone hate dissent over an issue so much that they will hurt people for expressing their views? These people are utterly mad.

8. And this helps their cause how?
Waving guns and shooting people isn't the way to win hearts and minds. Enjoy the wilderness assholes! You'll be wandering around in it for a long time!

9. Calling Homeland Security.
Your legislatively approved, expanded definition of terrorism à la the Patriot Act:

USA PATRIOT Act: "activities that (A) involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the U.S. or of any state, that (B) appear to be intended (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population, (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion, or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping, and (C) occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the U.S."


Now do your duty.

11. Screw Homeland Security - call the FBI's Hostage Rescue Team
They'll know exactly how to treat slime puppies like this guy. All Homeland Security knows how to do is waste taxpayer money and shake down old ladies at airports.

13. Somehow . . . I DON'T think I'll be holding my breath on any freep arrests.
DHS seems . . . let's say . . . selective on who they define as a "domestic terrorist".
