Virginia Republicans Plan For ‘Armed Revolution’ If Obama Wins Re-election
May 9th, 2012 4:29 pm Henry Decker


The Greene County, Virginia Republican Committee has sparked outrage by releasing a newsletter which calls for an “armed revolution” if President Obama is re-elected.

The monthly newsletter, which was first uncovered by Right Wing Watch, tends to be filled with inflammatory right wing rhetoric. But the March edition went a little further than usual.

“We have before us a challenge to remove an ideologue unlike anything world history has ever witnessed or recognized,” editor Ponch McPhee wrote. “An elected leader who shuns biblical praise, handicaps economic ability, disrespects the honor of earned military might.”

From there it only gets crazier:

“The ultimate task for the people is to remain vigilant and aware ~ that the government, their government is out of control, and this moment, this opportunity, must not be forsaken, must not escape us, for we shall not have any coarse {sic} but armed revolution should we fail with the power of the vote in November ~ This Republic cannot survive for 4 more years underneath this political socialist ideologue.”

McPhee’s poor spelling mirrors his poor grasp of history; aside from the notion of the president as history’s greatest ideologue, McPhee would do well to remember that Virginia’s last armed revolution didn’t exactly work out.

2. But he's advocating a Democrat be overthrown ... so that's "patriotic"!

Suggest that you're embarrassed by a Republican President, you should be shot, drawn, quartered, tarred, feathered, and deported.

Not necessarily in that order ...

3. Better hide your guns before Obama confiscates them

'cause they're a'comin' to git 'em, Ponch.

4. No worries, this Virginia leftist is ready to swat down insurrection

[MrModerate]

5. "Ponch McPhee?" Really? n/t

[JHB]

10. It seems so

[MrModerate]

11. No self-respecting comedy writer would dare use such a character name . . .

. . . Even for the most devolved Pillbilly trog imaginable.

Just goes to show, no matter how cynical you get, you can't keep up with reality.

6. This kind of thing is so OTT

It goes to prove that the US is in stable shape. Even in this economy, no one is motivated for an 'armed revolution' at least not in large enough numbers.

7. They are blowing smoke. nt

8. Good. They do, and they'll find out

that wingnuts aren't the only people who can handle a gun.

[Jakes Progress]

9. Cool. Then we can stop sending our troops

to the Middle East. They can fight the tea party taliban right here at home.

[Hayabusa]

12. Is it wrong that I want to see this

just to time how long it'll be before their little rebellion is squashed like a bug?
