GOP Newsletter in Virginia calls for Armed Revolution if Obama is re-elected

The Republican Party seems to already be sensing that they will be miserably defeated on Election Day this November. So as a back-up plan, a Republican newsletter in Virginia is openly calling for violently overthrowing the duly elected government of the United States should Democrats still be in charge.

The newsletter, known as “The Constitutional Conservatives” was published in March by the Greene County, Virginia Republican Committee and it included a column titled “Whitehouse Watchdog” written by editor Ponch McPhee. In the column, Mcphee trashed President Obama and said that if the American people fail to elect a Republican government, conservatives should arm themselves and take back the government by force. Here’s the text via Right Wing Watch:

“We have before us a challenge to remove an ideologue unlike anything world history has ever witnessed or recognized. An individual who has come to power within a Nation which yields it’s strength over the entire world. An elected leader who shuns biblical praise, handicaps economic ability, disrespects the honor of earned military might. In the coming days and weeks ~ we the people must come to grasp as a common force, our very soul’s, that our future as a sovereign nation is indeed at risk. If every single individual that you know, would contact 25 other individuals ~ we can make a difference that will be heard across the Commonwealth and in Washington. 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 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.”

Yes, it's a Liberal source by far, but still, this is highly disturbing.

Link to the actual newsletter.

Granted it's only the views of county level GOP organization's editor, but damn that's retarded.

i'd like to see this guy having an armed revolution against the 1st Cavalry Division. In fact, he can bring another 10000 of his gun-loving tough-talking buddies with him to the battle.

They seem to like pictures depicting the 18th century, and portraits of 18th century men. If I was a young child (who cba to read but really likes pictures in books) I would think that I was looking at a illustrated history of the War of Independence.

Aren't you an armchair revolutionary, Chernov?

Isn't it possible to prosecute the guy for treason or encouraging violence?

if we were to charge him, it would likely be conspiracy to kill government official etc. But conspiracy charge requires an overt act beyond mere thoughts and words. So he'd have to do something towards preparing for an armed revolt, like stockpiling C4 explosives, drawing maps to the homes of important officials, having a meeting with other idiots and planning the revolt during the meeting, etc.

Not really, that has passed. By now I prefer actual politics rather than guerilla campaigns.

Thankfully the founding fathers were smart enough to make it very difficult to prosecute someone for treason.

[Atterdag]

Well seeing that they themselves participated in an armed insurrection, I get your point

[s.rwitt]

That's where you get into the whole social contract thing.

hmm Republicans...that means they supported camp x-ray and the torture regime...get them to confess via the methods they supported then.

Note: Content of newsletter does not reflect the opinion of the Republican Party whole or in part, all contents offered are individual. GCRC is not necessarily endorsing anyone living or dead in regards to this content .

Further looking the entire population of Green County is 18kish and about 800 (based on that same newsletter) actually voted in the Republican primary.

So as far as I can tell, we have something akin to an unread blog that gets discovered by a liberal site and then is used to claim the GOP wants an armed rebellion?

This is almost as worrisome as YouTube comments.

Seriously what has Obama done that is so evil, so hitler/Stalinistic? I cant think of one thing controversial he has done? Or is it his opinions on Healthcare, High Speed Rail and green energy that scare the bejeebees out of Right wingers.

He has assassinated a US citizen, increased the debt to levels that would make Bush blush and other idiotic things.

[Exarch]

all talk, no action

If the government thought this was 'disturbing' they would have already given these clowns fake bombs then arrested them by now.
