Story also at the SPLC and CrooksandLiars (the latter makes the connection between Huff and the Oath Keepers).
I Pit Mr. Huff, and the Oath Keepers, for persistent and bottomless stupidity. I’ve seen their apologists insist the Oath Keepers are a strictly law-abiding organization, but, really, once you started talking in terms of taking the law into your own hands and judgment, what did you think was going to happen?! It was just a matter of time, and we should only be relieved no shots were fired and no one was hurt. This time.
Lone nut. Not representative of teabaggers. We’ve seen lots and lots of lone nuts, but the federal warning about them was purely politically motivated. They don’t want you to know about all the left wing violence in the past year so they don’t tell you about it.
The only thing that surprises me about this is that these assholes didn’t cry like little girls when they were arrested.
I’ve said it before, but I think it bears mentioning again. The day the “Oath Keepers” make a valid point about the political process, I’ll go over to Pat Buchanan’s house and personally fellate him.
Let’s just I don’t feel my heterosexuality being threatened in the foreseeable future.
Fitzpatrick seems to be considered somewhat of a “political prisoner” to the nutjobs.
I was going to ask, on what kind of nutcase delusional grounds, I wonder, but never mind, there’s plenty of cites as to this teabagger’s delusion. Here’s one. (warning, link to another nutjob who seems to want to shoot people in the face and is proud be called a “domestic terrorist”.)
He must have thought the state trooper was a fellow “Oath Keeper.”
That gives me hope. Most of these wackos don’t have the balls to do anything more than strap a gun to their hip and pretend to be badasses. And those who do don’t have the brains to pull off anything really dangerous.
Palin and Beck should be so proud. Their constituency is on the move.
All it takes is one teabagger to get “lucky.” Some have already, and even when one fails, it might spur another nutjob to think “I could do it better.” Even dumb fucks can get lucky sometimes.
And right now, there is a third nutjob making his Wile E. Coyote-style plans to spring the other two from the clutches of the evil, Solcialist, Muslim-loving Gub’mint.
At least the numbnuts who try to arrest Cheney have real crimes they can point to.
Wait, if Obama “was a CIA operative when he went to Columbia University” (1981-83 – Reagan years) – doesn’t that make him a Real American?!
