The Gathering Storm
“We will forcefully resist people imposing their will on us through the strength of the majority with a vote.”
This is not going to end well.
UPDATE: “Chris” appears to be a Paultard. 4409 is a libertarian group.
Man With Assault Rifle at Obama Event: ‘We Will Forcefully Resist’ [TPM]
Whatever happened to “you lost the election – get over it”?
@redmanlaw: I was in DC in 2000 when the Supremes handed Bush the election – drunk wingnuts leaning out the window screaming “we won!” Even I got over that.
We should review the early chapters of “The Rise And Fall Of The Third Reich.”
@blogenfreude: I’m still mad over the 1980 election.
There are black Paultards?
Taking a firearm to a presidential speech is a good way to get yourself shot by a Secret Service sniper. Those guys don’t fuck around, and I can guarantee one of them’s got his scope trained right at your head the whole time you’re there. In fact, I wouldn’t want to be anywhere near the shithead carrying the AR15 to a presidential speech just in case he makes a suddden move and the sniper’s bullet goes clean through and into the guy behind him.
@Serolf Divad: I agree. Those dudes are serious about their jobs, irrespective of who occupies the WH. If nothing else, they fear the after action review that would scupper their career if something happens on their watch.
@Serolf Divad: Totally geeked out analysis of what a mobile presidential protection team carries. You are right in thinking that overpenetration would be an issue in “addressing the threat” (ahem).
BREAKING: Robert Novak is dead. Hell just got a little more crowded.
@Serolf Divad: I work in a building next to the Waldorf, and we had a fifth floor view of Bush’s comings and goings when he was here for some UN thing. There was a federal kill team AND a NYC kill team. Dozens of vehicles, hundreds of extras, and a decoy limo. One truck we called “Satan’s ice cream truck”, because it was black and it looked like a big Good Humor van. We found out later that it’s an ambulance in case the POTUS needs one. We joked that we should hit the deck if we saw a red dot. In reality, I’m sure they knew we were there.
@Serolf Divad and The Nabisco Quiver: They certainly don’t fuck around, that’s for sure.
@redmanlaw: That rear gunner is HAWT.
T/J: SFL has just bingoed (used all her letters in one move) for the second time in a single Scrabble game against me. This is like playing one-on-one with Michael Fucking Jordan.
@Mistress Cynica: Can you say “Ding Dong the Witch is Dead” about men?
@Dodgerblue: So does that mean it’s my move? baked beat the crap out of me in our last game. You and Ian are facing my reenergized wrath as a result.
@Dodgerblue: Uh, make that three times.

@SanFranLefty: (sings) “Lefty likes the trunk monkey . . . Lefty likes the trunk monkey!”
@Dodgerblue: If you were LeBron, you could try to supress the video of you getting dunked on.
So, Brent Favre goes zombie on us and comes back.
@SanFranLefty: Quitting is not in my vocabulary. But losing sometimes, is.
Not to take this lightly or anything, but these are paultards we’re talking about. He’s probably talking about resisting the legal decisions of the electorate…on World of Warcraft.
I am shocked USSS isn’t grabbing these guys, taking their toys and breaking their faces with the stocks of the rifles. You wanna kill the king. You kill the king. You wanna play ‘patriot,’ take your toys and run around in the forest with your fur-brained friends.
@redmanlaw: Brett Favre is dead to me.
@blogenfreude: and cyrogenically (sp?) preserved up in MinneSOHta, doncha know.
@redmanlaw: What’s up with pseudo-military publications and their incessant abbreviating (abv), then never using the abbreviation again? Are they parroting some Army style manual where this habit is actually used effectively?
A friend of mine is a rabid Green Bay fan. She said she would torch her “4 Forever” t-shirt if Favre went to the Vikings. I just emailed her a link where she can purchase a GB Packers Zippo lighter.
Too subtle?
@blogenfreude: Packer fan is p.i.s.s.e.d. o.f.f. Listening to Jim Rome on the stream.

@IanJ: Don’t know. I’m just a Fudd.
@blogenfreude: Cold, cold, cold like a ice cream cone.
@redmanlaw: I’m glad she’s on the other side of town … if she were close by, she’d punch me.
@blogenfreude: Expect a visit.
@blogenfreude: this is just wrong.
@Dodgerblue: The NFL Senior Tour was born today.
I watched the video a couple of hours ago, and something seemed so odd about them. Its obvious, now that you tell me they are Paultards. I am very relieved by this. Paultards have very active fantasy lives, and will go out and play dress-up, but they will never actually start a reloveution.
You can tell they are Paultards because they never look at each other when they speak to each other.
Traveling is so bizarre. I get to see cable TV. Tyra banks has a girl on whose life is being destroyed by raging jealousy. Tyra Banks is seriously interviewing this kid, as if she gives a fuck or there is anything to talk about. Bizarre.
@Dodgerblue: Can you imagine? The first time Green Bay comes to MN, the jerseys will flare in the stands.
@blogenfreude: You’re right. They’ll need a horde of fire marshalls in the stands.
@FlyingChainSaw: If these were Code Pinkers with flaming bags of shit ready for hurling at W, the USSS would be all over them.
