It's war! Or at least that's the word being employed by the right-wing blogosphere to describe anarchist groups' plans to "crash" the Tea Party movement's Tax Day demonstrations on April 15. "Anarchists plan war on April 15th Tea Parties," reads a headline at Gateway Pundit. The Fox Nation Web site links to that story using the same headline. Click for Full Text!

Militia Members Rationalize Collecting Government Money

The U.S. militia movement sees itself as a bulwark against encroaching government powers -- a way to maintain individual liberty in an era of what they see as ever-growing state control over people's lives. But for at least one of these groups -- the 21st Battalion of the LightFoot Militia in northern Idaho -- government money appears to be crucial. Government money in the form of unemployment checks, that is. Click for Full Text!
Tea Party Myth Busted: Man Was Detained In Cleaver Spitting Incident

Some tea party sympathizers claim U.S. Rep. Emanuel Cleaver of Kansas City is lying because no one was arrested for spitting on him. Sorry, that's not the real story. In fact -- contrary to the myth being whirled around the blogosphere by the Party of Angry Americans -- a man was detained by the U.S. Capitol police after the March 20 incident in Washington, D.C.

Excerpt: I have written letter to Attorney General Eric Holder demanding he institute quo warranto proceeding against Obama, but he has stonewalled. Congress is corrupt institution and ignore the clear will of people. Existing USA government has lost all legitimacy. As only person empowered by the Law of Nations and Magna Carta to save the United States of America from slavery like old Soviet Union from criminal usurper president, I do assume rule of Queen of United States of America and hereby do dissolve the Congress of United States and discharge criminal Obama from office.

Post-Palin Alaska Has Largest Debt Burden In US

Sarah Palin has long sold herself as a fiscal conservative, arguing against the Democrats' health overhaul on the grounds that the nation simply can't afford it. But when the former vice presidential candidate resigned as governor of Alaska in the summer of 2009, she left the state with a 70 percent debt-to-GDP ratio -- the highest state debt burden in the United States. That's according to data compiled by the Washington Independent's Megan Carpentier, who notes that Alaska has a debt burden similar to "that of Jordan and Palin’s favorite health care resource, Canada, and a higher ratio than Ghana, Cote d’Ivoire, India, the ...
Teabaggers: What Is Up With Those Freaks?

Can you expound on the Politico analogy from a few weeks ago — i.e., what brands of tea best identify the various types of teabaggers? — Ed O. In the famous cartoon editorial meeting at the bat-cave/newsroom of The Politico, a story was proposed in which varieties of yuppie tea would be matched to elitist Republican establishment figures — “Pawlenty is Chamomile because he is sweet and calming, Romney is Earl Grey because he is traditional and dignified.” But what about real Tea Party people, those real pro-American Americans with the tragic costumes and illiterate poster-board signs? Do they enjoy fancy imported tea from those dainty little tins? Of course not. The ...
Tony Perkins (Family Research Council) Urges Conservatives To Stop Giving Money To RNC

Tony Perkins, head of the Family Research Council and an influential social conservative, is urging his members to stop giving money to the Republican National Committee, POLITICO has learned. "I've hinted at this before, but now I am saying it: Don't give money to the RNC," Perkins will tell FRC members in the group's next e-mail newsletter. "If you want to put money into the political process, and I encourage you to do so, give directly to candidates who you know reflect your values." Perkins' move comes two days after it was disclosed that the committee spent nearly $2,000 at a lesbian bondage club near Los Angeles — a revelation that has ...

Sarah Palin, Neocon Messiah

Judge them by their enemies. More evidence that Barack Obama might be shaping up as a good president is that Norman Podhoretz hates him so much. In a Wall Street Journal column Monday the guru of the neoconservatives declared: “I would rather be ruled by the Tea Party than by the Democratic Party, and I would rather have Sarah Palin sitting in the Oval Office than Barack Obama.” I know that does not properly address all of the serious questions raised about the Obama presidency by progressives, myself included, and as of today we must now add offshore oil drilling to the list. But it is somewhat reassuring that the surviving father of the neocon movement should be left so totally ...
GOP Leaders Seek To Distance Themselves From Michael Steele

Republican leaders in Congress have moved to distance themselves from GOP national chairman Michael Steele, but that job will become more difficult as the spotlight on the midterm election intensifies. A GOP lawmaker who requested anonymity said the Republican National Committee (RNC) chairman’s relationship with House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is "not good at all." The legislator added, "Steele lacks a base of support. The donors, the activists will all drop him if they sense he might squander the electoral opportunity of the decade." In an interview with The Hill earlier this month, Boehner said he ...

By Sean J. Miller - 03/31/10 06:00 AM ET Republican candidates and party officials are trying to lure Tea Party activists into the fold in order to stave off a splintering of the conservative base ahead of the midterm elections. The Republican National Committee is scrambling to open field offices in targeted states as part of its “Delaware to Hawaii” (D2H) grassroots outreach program. In Nevada, the Clark County Republican Party is opening a phone bank in Las Vegas later this week specifically for Tea Party members to conduct voter outreach, party officials said. And from Tennessee to Arizona, Republican candidates are turning up at Tea Party-sponsored events to rail against ...
Feds: Christian Militia Needed To Be `Taken Down'

(03-30) 16:06 PDT DETROIT (AP) -- It started inside a trailer home in rural Michigan, where a small family gathered before bed for prayer. Years later, the private devotions had evolved into a small militia of "Christian warriors" preparing to fight the Antichrist. The changes in David Brian Stone's personal theology partly destroyed his marriage, his former wife says, and prosecutors claim they later led him to hatch a plot to kill police officers — a violent act the militia hoped would touch off an uprising against the government. "The time had come that we needed to arrest them and take them down," U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade said Tuesday in an interview ...
O.K. Sarah Palin Might Be Stupid, But Why Is That Bad?

The neocons have a problem. The neocon wing of the Republican Party is the egghead wing, the foreign policy wing, the Jewish wing. So what to do about Sarah Palin, who is, relatively speaking, the antithesis of all of those things? An answer or, at any rate, a tortured rationalization, or, indeed, calculated strategy was supplied yesterday on the Wall Street Journal editorial page, the spiritual home of the neocons, by the neocons’ eldest statesman, Norman Podhoretz. While neocons are all the things outlined above—they’re kind of a sight gag of the eggheaded, foreign policy-obsessed Jew—they feel bad about it. Their background and interests are hardly the stuff of ...
Palin’s CSU Secret Speaking Fee Causes Outrage Over Her ‘Anti-Intellectual’ and ‘Polarizing Rhetoric’

(ChattahBox)—The university foundation of California State University, Stanislaus, is under fire for hiring Sarah Palin to speak at a $500 per ticket, gala black-tie fundraising event in June, to celebrate the university’s 50th anniversary. The foundation is refusing to disclose Palin’s fee. And Students, professors and even a state lawmaker, point to the former half-term governor of Alaska’s vitriol, divisiveness and her hefty speaking fees of at least $100,000, as not appropriate for a University celebration. Her lack of intellectual curiosity is cited by Zoology Professor Patrick Kelly, who started an anti-Palin Facebook page, pointing out her distinct lack of ...

Washington - The arrests of members of a Michigan-based "Christian" militia group should convince doubters that there is good reason to worry about right-wing, anti-government extremism -- and potential violence -- in the Age of Obama. I put the word Christian in quotes because anyone who plots to assassinate law enforcement officers, as a federal indictment alleges members of the Hutaree militia did, is no follower of Christ. According to federal prosecutors, the Hutaree -- the word's not in my dictionary, but their Web site claims it means "Christian warrior" -- are convinced that their enemies include "state and local law enforcement, who are deemed ...

How the FBI busted one YouTube nutjob in under a day When it needs to act fast, the FBI can do so. When a YouTube video came to its attention on Friday in San Francisco, the FBI had a Philadelphia man in custody the next day. A reminder to Internet nutjobs: your IP address can and will be used to hunt you down, so posting threatening rants to YouTube is only a good idea if you're looking to get arrested. The FBI's affidavit gives us a window into how the investigation unfolded, and into just how quickly the Bureau can turn a YouTube link into a home address when necessary.

This is too rich.See, during the campaign, I watched countless videos of McCain-Palin supporters. I compiled snippets of them for two post-election videos, and I collected the videos in an online playlist. (I've archived them offline, just in case they disappear and their existence is called into question.) Everywhere that McCain-Palin supporters encounters Obama supporters demonstrating outside the venue, they always said one thing that I found perplexing.Invariably, one of them would say to the Obama-Biden supporters, "Get a job."Huh? Why is it, I wondered, that conservatives always assume progressive don't have jobs? So, I can't help chuckling over the irony that ...

Federal warrants were sealed, but a federal law enforcement official speaking on condition of anonymity said some of those arrested face gun charges and officials are pursuing other suspects. Some of the suspects were expected in court Monday.It wasn't clear what prompted the raids, ...
The Tea Party Movement Is Undemocratic, Futile, and Violent at Its Core

I watched an older man interviewed at a Tea Party gathering. "We're going to get that whole gang out," he said. Interviewer: "You mean in Washington?" "You bet -- Congress, the President, the remaining liberal Supreme Court members." "How does he plan to do that?" I wondered. The interviewer didn't follow up. Presumably satisfied with his own representative, this man wants to replace all the other duly elected officials in the United States, along with individual Supreme Court judges. That can only occur due to a military, or a militia (dream on) uprising, and result in a dictatorship. And that is the truth at the heart of the Tea Party ...
Palin, a Heroine to the Tea Party, Gets High Negatives From General Public

Sarah Palin, who was the main attraction at a Tea Party rally Saturday in Nevada, has become a force in the Republican Party but the overall public sees her negatively by a 55 percent to 37 percent margin, with 7 percent undecided, according to a Washington Post poll conducted March 23-26. Forty-one percent fall into the camp of those who "strongly" see her unfavorably while 17 percent "strongly" regard her in a positive light. Further highlighting her standing as what the Post called "a political lightening rod," 66 percent of Republicans see her favorably compared to 61 percent of Democrats who see her unfavorably. (Thirty-five percent of the Republicans ...

9 Militia Members Charged In Police-Killing Plot Nine members of a militia group, including a northwest Indiana resident, have been indicted for allegedly planning to kill a law enforcement officer, then attack other officers attending the funeral with "weapons of mass destruction." According to the five-count indictment unsealed Monday, the nine, part of a Lenawee County, Mich.,militia group called the Hutaree, conspired to oppose the U.S. government by force, according to a release from the U.S. Attorney's office in Michigan. The nine, including Thomas Piatek, 46, of Whiting, Ind., were indicted by a federal grand jury in Detroit on charges of seditious conspiracy, ...

Palin claims Tea Party endorses John McCain At McCain for Senate rally in Arizona, on Friday, Sarah Palin makes the claim that John McCain was endorsed by the Tea Party Movement. This is an outright lie and can be proven so by visiting AZ Tea Party sites. They are yet to endorse anyone. Mrs. Palin does not speak for us and needs to cease doing so. I think she needs to be taught a lesson by taking McCain out in the GOP primary. I have included a blog post from "The Hill". Click for Full Text!

Freedom Concerts, Sean Hannity's scholarship charity for the children of fallen soldiers, has violated its charitable tax status, according to a Washington advocacy group.
