Right-wing truckers’ organizer: ‘We will defend our nation to the absolute death’

One of the loudest figures in the upcoming “Ride For The Constitution” truckers’ strike expressed his support for an armed overthrow of the U.S. government, while organizers boasted online about winning support from “civilian militia” groups.

“There is a select few of us — we’ll call them Three Percenters — that will take the next logical step to stop our domestic enemies,” Santilli said on the show. “It will be stopped. I’m going to say this: this is not a threat. We will defend our nation to the absolute death.”

According to Media Matters, the term “Three Percenters” is a reference to a right-wing extremist belief that 3 percent of armed gun owners can execute an overthrow of the government.

“If we do not rise up this week, peacefully, there is going to be Three Percenters who I will also join, to make it not so peacefully,” Santilli said on his show. “That’s what’s going to happen. If the American public is not listening to what we’re saying right now, we have this peaceful opportunity to do things, we can do it, but you need to at least not be lethargic and sit there and let them commit terrorism against you.”

Another responsible gun owner pretending that mass murder is patriotism.

1. Seems to me this guy is going to get himself into some serious trouble.

I can see the 3 percent taking on the military and winning.

[roguevalley]

16. I want to see the tazing vids where they

are flopping on the ground.

[Warpy]

27. They're going to squash him like a bug

He needs to talk to some OWS survivors to find out how that's going to feel.

They all feel so powerful when they're prancing around like dogs with diarrhea, popguns slung across their backs. No suh, nobody gonna tell them what to do!

Then the tank rolls in.

[DinahMoeHum]

2. Hey, "Three-Percenters": Psss psss psss psss psss. . .meow meow

Obviously folks with teeny weenie problems.

[Shrike47]

3. I always wonder why they assume none of the Libs are armed.

They'd be fighting the military and the guy next to them.

[Snake Plissken]

17. Or why they assume that Libs would be afraid of their coward asses

Right Winger have no idea that they are about as intimidating as a middle aged guy walking around in a superman costume.

[Renew Deal]

39. Is that Reince Priebus?

[Populist_Prole]

30. That and why they assume: Right Wing = Tough

These and other nutjobs come across like cocky tough guys that can take on all comers...just because they've never lost a shadow boxing match. Then they'll be shocked and dismayed when someone else lands a solid punch on them in a real fight.

[DireStrike]

4. He's in for a big surprise

and welcome to it.

[tularetom]

5. This will once again turn out to be a clusterfuck

With more porta potties than protesters.

But the liberal media will report breathlessly on the impact of this gathering of loons.

[appleannie1]

6. Hopefully he finds that law enforcement and the military do not take take kindly to loudmouth, armed

assholes that think they have the right to take over the nation's roads and make demands.

[Snotcicles]

38. Interstate commerce trumps just about everything. They better be very careful. nt

[VanillaRhapsody]

7. One can only hope...

and pass the popcorn please!

[ladyVet]

8. Doesn't seem very smart.

Publicly announcing plans to overthrow the government should get these goons sent off to one of those foreign rendition camps.

Hope they get to pack some clean undies, for when the inevitable pictures with soldiers posing over their bodies show up.

[brush]

20. He should be getting a visit from . . .

federal agents just about now. He's blatantly promoting sedition, which is encouraging one's fellow citizens to rebel against the government.

He'll be shut down pretty quickly.

[Coyotl]

9. Yeah, he's about as effective as a tree falling in the woods when noone is nearby.

What is a total mystery is how anyone even heard him say what he said. Why listen?

[4bucksagallon]

10. I can see it now Ted Nugent in the lead bow and arrow in hand........

After all he missed his deadline of "dead or in jail", now would be a good time to make amends.

[Bosso 63]

11. The phrase "punching over his weight" comes to mind.

Its kind of sad, they seem to think that if more people could hear them, things would change. The fact that people can hear them, and just think they are bat shit crazy, is never going to occur to them.

[socialist_n_TN]

12. Moron........

3% are NOT going to overthrow ANY government ANYwhere without the tacit support of 60% or so of the general population. That's basic. A small group can do something like that, but the conditions have to be right and that includes a majority of the population as tacit supporters AND it depends on the military being, at the very least, neutral. Those conditions don't apply to the USA today. It ain't gonna happen.

[TheCowsCameHome]

13. "Breaker 19, we got us an asshole in our convoy"

[struggle4progress]

14. These folk seem to be having trouble with consistent messaging. First I heard,

they planned to clog the DC beltway into a parking lot to blackmail Congress into doing what they wanted

And next they said they would clog the beltway and arrest Congressional folk they didn't like, all in support of wack-a-doodle Mark Kessler

Then, oops, all a joke and a big misunderstanding, cuz they weren't gonna clog the beltway after all -- just, y'know, get attention by threatening to do that, which takes some pressure off the bigmouth pushing this cuz he doesn't even own his truck and wasn't planning to be there anyway

And now, apparently, this trucking demo is our very last chance to prevent armed insurrection in our country

[freshwest]

15. He's another grifter radio jock looking for a break. Get a load of this:

I found another reference that was even weirder about him. So weird, I don't even know if it had anything to do with him:

http://beforeitsnews.com/9-11-and-ground-zero/2013/01/pete-santilli-james-fetzer-involved-in-massive-coverup-2439416.html

Full of sexual imagery, CT, could be NSFW. The point of it all, I have no idea. I've never even seen such idiocy, except on rightist websites.

This guy is trying to do his lame ass version of the failed Libertarian 2nd amendment fetishist, Adam Kokesh's open carry of armed rifles in D.C. gig. Since it flopped, he went to Plan B for Batshit anarchy:

Kokesh s a fanatic like Beck, Rush, etc. That's all they have on radio now:

Adam Kokesh Calls Off Armed March On D.C. In Favor Of 50 State March For "Orderly Dissolution Of The Federal Government"

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1014495256

Santilli is trying to make a comeback and some bucks. The rightists are reduced to using nothing but scam artists, scoundrels and demagogues.

All of this propaganda has two effects. It invigoriates RWNJs and demoralizes the rest of us. Mission accomplished, but it's not even necessary to survival. In fact, it's anti-survival. If it wasn't for some really great things happening aside from all of this insanity, I'd regret having lived to see this.

[TeamPooka]

18. Hey 3Percenters: suck it

[ThoughtCriminal]

19. RW coworker is so excited about this

I can't wait for him to have nothing to say at all about it.

[rurallib]

21. Is that tomorrow? I may want to clear some time

to watch

[dembotoz]

22. 15 minutes of fame---tick tock

[Initech]

23. Yeah good luck with that.

[OmahaBlueDog]

24. I saw about 6 protesters holding flags and signs for these idiots tonight

Can't we throw these nutjobs into the FEMA camps we keep hearing about

[roamer65]

25. All fun and games till the black helicopters show up.

They would be no match for those.

[Agnosticsherbet]

26. For anyone paying attention, this guy is comitting sediton. n/t

[colsohlibgal]

28. It's An Epidemic Of Crazy

I just saw a clip on Colbert's show, these folks are certifiable, it's like a bunch of Ted Nugents, some of them of the female variety.

Anyone who doesn't think Obama being black (well, half black really) is playing into this hatred is fooling themselves.

I'm just about at a point where I say we let them have Montana and they can have all the freedom they want as long as they expect nothing from us and leave us alone as they live like it's 1776. When some southerners feel it's OK to get back to publicly calling the civil war "The War Of Northern Aggression" again we've reached a very bad place.

What's wrong with all these people?

[MisterP]

29. so, does he want to go to the Naziville in ID or the one in ND?

[Fantastic Anarchist]

31. Aren't truckers unionized?

[Snotcicles]

37. Those are all independent drivers. If the large unionized trucking companies see there trucks

being used in a blockade of interstate commerce they would blow a gasket.

[Fantastic Anarchist]

41. Ah, thanks for the info!

[Dash87]

32. Yeah sure. Definite chickenhawk

[morningfog]

33. Ha! What an idiot. Good luck, dipshit.

He's either all talk, of has a death wish.

[Stinky The Clown]

34. Isn't "support for an armed overthrow of the U.S. government" a felony crime?

[Snotcicles]

35. When it all starts I hope they all wear bright red hats so they can tell who the good guys are

and they don't shoot each other. You know they are the only ones with guns, right?

[LeftinOH]

36. "...defend our nation to the absolute death" ...which is precisely how

they're going to end up if they try to do anything. Watch a few of them invade a highway rest stop and get killed in a gun battle with state troopers.

[LibertyLover]

40. I'm thinking that my drive to the Metro tomorrow

might not be as exciting as I thought. Darn, I was hoping that my office would shut down because of the truckers. So these idiots aren't doing the "Clog the Beltway" thing? Good, because with a long weekend looming, the last thing cops on the Beltway are going to be up for is a bunch of wack-a-doodles trying to prevent the free flow of traffic. And with The World Bank annual meeting this weekend, not to mention the Million Vet March, the shutdown and the recent shootings most LEOs in the area are, shall we say, not going to be disposed to be charitable.
