Politics "BE THERE IF YOUR A TRUE PATRIOT!!!!"
Posted by Paul Constant on Wed, Apr 22, 2009 at 1:29 PM
Wonkette has this video up, in which "Pale Horse," a member of an Ohio militia, announces that there will be a million man militia march on Washington DC on July 4th. All the marchers will be armed to make a point about something.
They will all be armed, but they will not use their weapons. Pale Horse says that he'd be happy if ten million people showed up, but one million is the baseline goal.
Here is what the YouTube page says:
We are trying to organize a Million Armed Militia Man march on Washington July 4th 2009. Be there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!We can would could should this to death. Bottom line is I am going, we should all go. It sends a powerful message. Like I said they cant arrest 1,000,000 + people. Its not possible. They dont have the manpower or space for that.
Are we men or cowards???? If I worked for the government this would be the LAST idea they would want me to suggest THINK ABOUT IT!!!!!!!!!!!! MAn up people!!!
As Wonkette says: "Well we see no problems with this plan."

But arresting twelve members of the Ohio Militia shouldn't be too hard, especially after they accidentally lock all their weapons in the car. Assuming they don't run out of gas on the way.

Nothing could POSSIBLY go wrong. Nope not a thing.
So what will life be like under a military dictatorship? I sure hope our incoming leaders have snappy uniforms; perhaps like the Nazis. I mean they were evil but still they were snappy dressers!

Please oh please oh please God, make them call out the National Guard like Hoover did!
If you do that, I promise I'll be good and not ask for anything else!
Pleeeaaaasssseeee...

Hmm. I just got a flash of what it might look like if Fox covered this the way it covered the teabag thing. That would be interesting...

if only they would be treated by the police the way the 04 RNC demonstrators were treated by the NYPD.

Awesome. A million angry white guys (and two women) with guns, crammed into a confined space.
What could possibly go wrong?

Totally cool. I'll be there. (I'm just having a hard time deciding which gun to bring. Any suggestions?)
12
Hm, and of course while these 1,000,000 patriotic Amurkins march on Washington D.C. there will no doubt be a few thousand resourceful individuals back in their home states "liberating" their militia bunkers of MRE's, bottled water, and all the ammo they can carry.
15
Pale Horse is fucking chicken-shit, hiding behind sunglasses and voice-distortion software. He's "taking "action" by making a one-and-a-half minute YouTube video. And does the idiot realize that there will already be tens of thousands of people on the National Mall on July 4th for the annual FIREWORKS DISPLAY?
16
1,000,000 overweight middle-aged rednecks with guns milling around on the capital mall. Imagine, one enterprising anarchist lobs a firecracker into the middle of the crowd.
*BANG!*
Imagine the bloodbath that would follow.
I know, it couldn't happen. I mean, really, where would you even find a firecracker on the 4th of July?

Maybe it is for the next Tea-bagging. Yesterday, I recieved my invitation, it is to be held on the Fourth of July, too.
18
Of course, I now note that you noticed that too, Paul, and in fact used it as the subject line of this post.
Still, best part.

Anyone else think the voice-distortion makes the guy sound kinda like Republican pseudo-president John Goodman on "West Wing"?
Anyone?
Just me?
Well, still.

Where do these people come from? An armed march upon our national seat of government? I think that's called "insurrection."
22
@2,

Dream on...! A group with spelling and punctuation like that will not be snappy dressers.

Point of interest: That distorted overhead photo of the Mall totally packed with people at 0:30? That's from the 2004 March for Women's Lives.

I'm with ya, brothers in arms! And how about we burn lowercase T's on the lawn, where the new "President" can see?
You know, for "Time to lower taxes and respect the constitution."

Looks like they've made the video "private" on YouTube, so you can't see it unless you're already a "friend" of the Million Maniac Mob.
27
Doesn't DC have restrictions on carrying weapons? Guess they'll have to leave 'em at the border...with the cops.
28
The comments are a laff riot. Real gems of pure crazy. Too bad you can't see them anymore. They must've been worried about the gubment finding out about their SUPER SECRET PLANS.
29
Oh, my mistake. The video may be private, but I think you can still see the comments in all their insane glory: wingnut rantings
30
So wait, they want millions of people to march on the capital yet they want you to friend them on youtube in order to get information about the movement?
IT'S A TRAP
IT'S A TRAP

@11 - It'll be summer and before Labor Day, so I would go with a lighter more airy assault rifle. The Armalite 5.56 Bushmaster Carbine or the RomAK AK-47 7.62x39. And remember to match your boots, black with the Bushmaster or brown with the RomAK.
32
@29, "OK am reading the comments, And is seem to be alot of Weak - scary people here/ And they want to be Sheeped cause their babies, if you listen to this clearly, Legal weapons and if you know what militias are for (White or black)or what ever race / we all want the same and that is to be free. Arms or no arms there is gonna be a Second American Revolution- cause So many people Dont know what the Future hold taxes will be 5x what it is now, so what we are suppose to wait, people wake up and join us"
33
As a former English teacher, the spelling in those comments makes my heart break.
Then again, I never could get across to my middle school students that, if they want to be taken seriously, spelling matters. I guess those guys never got te message, either. Of course, the rampant anti-intellectualism in some parts of the country doesn't help.
I'm not even going to discuss the grammar or punctuation. It's enough to make me consider diving out of my office window.

Sheryl,
Sorry. I wish posting comments had an editing button. I know I am prone to making all kinds of errors. I hate it when I see an error that I made earlier in the day.

Oh Kim, I meant on the YouTube site. The small typing errors here are nothing, and Lord knows I make them all the time. The comments on YouTube, however, are more than typos. It makes me fear the state of the American education system even more than I already did.
38
If we are lucky they will go all Heaven's Gate on us. Chucky Heston is waiting to wisk them away in his spaceship.

@ Reverse Polarity,
"A million angry white guys (and two women) with guns, crammed into a confined space."
You forgot to add "...in a city with a large African-American population, also heavily armed." That should be interesting.
Ackham might get to see his dream become a reality.

The fact that on July 4, the National Mall will be full of tens of thousands of people sitting on the ground all day long waiting for the fireworks (and that there is extra security) is going to be the least of their problems.
Morons.
