More right wing calls for terrorism disguised as patriotism

This is terrorism, pure and simple. I know that for this nutjob, terror is something that brown-skinned people with names he can't pronounce do. However, threatening your fellow citizens with gun violence because you don't like the way a vote or a law turned out is terrorism.

It's no different than the Iraqi squads who cut off people's thumbs that were stained purple because they voted. These jackasses are no better than Saddam's Republican Guard.

This guy Vanderboegh is a dangerous lunatic. Not a patriot, not a revolutionary. Patriots protested specifically because the rule of law was not followed nor enforced. Health care passed because a majority of the freely and fairly elected Congress deemed it worthy. This mean and his "militia" are criminals. Nothing more.

Well, actually, they are something more. They're stupid and bad students of history.

Jail them for terroristic threats.

Authorities in Wichita and some other cities across the country are investigating vandalism against Democratic offices, apparently in response to health care reform.

And on Monday, a former Alabama militia leader took credit for instigating the actions.

Mike Vanderboegh of Pinson, Ala., former leader of the Alabama Constitutional Militia, put out a call on Friday for modern “Sons of Liberty” to break the windows of Democratic Party offices nationwide in opposition to health care reform. Since then, vandals have struck several offices, including the Sedgwick County Democratic Party headquarters in Wichita.

...

Vanderboegh posted the call for action Friday on his blog, “Sipsey Street Irregulars.” Referring to the health care reform bill as “Nancy Pelosi’s Intolerable Act,” he told followers to send a message to Democrats.

“We can break their windows,” he said. “Break them NOW. And if we do a proper job, if we break the windows of hundreds, thousands, of Democrat party headquarters across this country, we might just wake up enough of them to make defending ourselves at the muzzle of a rifle unnecessary.”
