The Greene County, Virginia Republican Committee publishes a monthly newsletter for members called “The Constitutional Conservatives.” The newsletter is heavy on Tea Party rhetoric about how Obama and liberals are ruining America, and so forth. But even by these standards, an item in the March newsletter stands out.

In the “Whitehouse Watchdog” column, editor Ponch McPhee says that American cannot survive four more years under Obama, a “political socialist ideologue” who is “unlike anything world history has ever witnessed or recognized.”

quote:

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 COURSE 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.

The Greene County GOP apparently realizes that McPhee and the newsletter are a potential liability, judging by the disclaimer on the back page claiming that views expressed are individual only.

Or because they think the disclaimer covers that. By the way have you denounced Bill Maher because one of his guests said that there would be a race war if Obama losses. No? then i guess you agree with that.

1) I am not a member of Mr. Maher's party organization or his show's staff.

2) Until you wrote this, I was unaware Mr. Maher ever said this - but then, I do not listen to his shows as I do not have cable TV.

Classic False eqivilancy argument/fallacy - have you denounced Reverend Fred Phelps for his sermons at the Westboro Church?

After all, you probably have as much personal or professional connection with Reverend Phelps as I have with Bill Maher.

You're not a member of the Greene county Republican party either, therefore it's not up to you to say who should speak out, or up... IOW STFU.

This is a nonsensical point to make. There is a big difference between a member of a 'mainstream' political party making calls for "armed revolution" in an official GOP newsletter (properly described as "sedition") and media antics. IOW there is zero equivalence again.

It is a gravely serious matter when an official of a major political party advocates illegal violent revolution to attain power against the expressed democratic wishes of the US people. The GOP needs to dissociate itself from this nutcase and ensure he no longer holds any position or even membership of the party immediately. Failure to do so will justify serious questions being asked about the commitment of the GOP to the US Constitution and its values.

I have heard of Westboro "church" and when I was selling sunday school supllies I refused to even talk to them. You are absolutly correct, since the vast majority of republicans have never heard of this guy it is absured to say their lack of condimnation constitutes agreement. That was the point I was making but I guess it was too subtle for you. Just because you haven't heard the condemnation doesn't mean it didn't happen.

This is not a response to the point I was making. I said nothing about GOP rank and file or GOP supporters. I've no doubt most ordinary Republican supporters would be horrified by the antics of this nutcase.

The person responsible for this piece of petty sedition is an office holder within the GOP. It is for this reason that the
GOP is implicated as a party, and why it is incumbent upon the GOP, as a political party, to dissociate itself from this nutcase, and throw him out of the GOP, as I proposed in my post.

Then perhaps you will be kind enough to point out specifically where the US Constitution authorises or protects seditious calls for "armed revolution" against the constitutionally elected Government and President. Because I for one am unaware of any such provisions.

Really? Then you should read it sometime. The First and Second Amendments are in part crafted to protect the right of the People to foment a rebellion and to assure they have the means to raise one.

When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies;...
