No, not that sort of arms. This is not a RKBA diary.
But I would suggest that all Kossacks be prepared for trouble, possibly even of a physical sort, at the polling stations on November 2nd.
The Republicans not only expect victory, they feel entitled to victory. And there are some Republicans whose attitudes are dangerous to democracy.
Follow below the fold for three stories demonstrating this.
NAACP calls out Tea Party racism
The study, conducted by the Institute for Research and Education on Human Rights analyzed the membership of six Tea Party organizations in the country.
According to the NAACP, five of the six Tea Party groups are headed by "birthers," people who believe President Obama is not a citizen of the United States.
Which is to say, 5 of the 6 Tea Party groups believe the President has usurped power and should be impeached. These, then, are not people who are going to see Democrats exercising their rights to vote as a benign thing.
Joe Miller's Security chief has militia ties
As some local outlets have already reported, Fulton himself is a repeated poster on the Alaska Citizens Militia Google Forum, which can be found here. All of his postings are here.
The Alaska Citizens' Militia describes its mission statement as: "To set forth the historical and Constitutional basis for the establishment of the Alaska Citizens Militia; to explain its mission and goals; its uniqueness as the final defense against tyrannical government at all levels; and to suggest an organizational structure."
The militia members are often Tea Party Republicans and vice-versa. And they are clearly armed and dangerous.
Texas voter registration group receives threats
"It's really had a chilling effect on our office," said Haver, adding that one of the e-mails was reported to the FBI.
Perhaps this one was the one reported to the FBI.
You liberial scumbags should be hung by the neck in public ! We are on to your voter fraud. Keep it up you MOTHER FUCKERS and you will soon be put down for a long dirt nap! Your nothing but a bunch of white guilt ridden assholes, NIGGERS and greasy mexican spics! The WAR is comming and we are going to dispose of each and every one of you while we take OUR (White) nation back.
I think that last quote says just about all that needs to be said. These people feel entitled to rule and hate anyone who threatens their power.
So, arm yourselves. But not with firearms. With these.
Be prepared to call 911. Be prepared to take pictures and videos of people interfering with orderly voting. The crazy is out there, and it may very well appear at your precinct.
