Ted Nugent Praises Call To Arrest Obama From Coup-Supporting Former General
Submitted by Brian Tashman on Wednesday, 6/24/2015 12:30 pm
Last year, retired-general-turned-conservative-activist Paul Vallely told a Tea Party group that he would certainly head a revolution to topple President Obama, remarks he later denied making despite the fact that they were captured on audio. Imagine our shock, then, when Vallely told a fringe radio host last week that President Obama should be arrested for his treasonous activities.
Vallelys remarks even earned the praise of right-wing musician and NRA board member Ted Nugent, who wrote on Facebook: Well listen everybody to what I gotta say, there's hope for tomorrow if we wakeup [sic] today!
Calling on U.S. generals to stand up to Obama, Vallely told The Real Side radio program that it may soon be time to arrest Obama for treasonous activities. He cited the work of the conspiracy-theory-ridden Citizens Committee on Benghazi as evidence that there are grounds to arrest Obama for purportedly helping the Muslim Brotherhood.
Theres a whole list we have put together at the Benghazi Citizens Commission on treasonous activities not only by him but by Kerry, by Clinton, the lying deceptions of Panetta, of General Dempsey, as well as Hillary Clinton, Vallely said. [Hes] tyrannical and thats his communist upbringing because thats the way they develop and take over countries and put in a tyrannical leader. Weve seen that since World War II, all over Europe and now we have socialism gaining in South and Central America. I mean it is just unbelievable that we could let this country go down and commit national suicide that were doing.
He added that Obama would have been arrested already if it wasnt for the fact that the Republicans are afraid of a black backlash to such a step. Hes black and white, hes not just black, but theyre afraid of a black uprising, thats the word I get, he said.
Vallely once called for the citizens arrest of Obama.

(6,409 posts)Even before Obama took office, even before he was elected, some people were dreaming of his assassination, or thinking of grounds for impeachment. I know people, personally, who say they would be happy if someone would kill the president. I know others personally, who follow the impeachment websites religiously, and tell me all about the latest "constitutional" basis for impeachment. Yeah, I have some interesting friends. Anyway, here we are, down to the last months of Obama's tenure, and some people can't accept the fact that he's been in office this long without a scandal. No oral sex with young interns. Benghazi was a bust. He got reelected. The economy has not crashed. We didn't invade any small, helpless nations. But none of that makes them give up hope, no sir! They believe some big disaster will come along and taint this presidency. And it's not unusual to add that little extra, "He's getting away with only because he's black." I hear that all the time.
