Massachusetts Senate Candidate Advertises on Newsmax.com ‘Coup’ Article

TPM has been all over the bizarre John Perry “military coup against Obama” column at Newsmax.com–an incredibly popular conservative site, as I discovered in my story on WorldNetDaily. The liberal BlueMassGroup blog has an interesting wrinkle. Scott Brown, the credible GOP candidate for the open Massachusetts U.S. Senate seat, has been running ads on Newsmax.com. As luck would have it, one ad appeared next to Perry’s column.

I’ve asked Brown’s campaign whether it is advertising directly with Newsmax, whether this was cycled in, to their surprise, because of some larger ad buy, and whether they’ll cancel whatever contract led to this ad. Web ads have stung campaigns before: In 2005, Tim Kaine scrapped a blog ad promoting his Virginia gubernatorial campaign after it appeared on the Website of the late Steve Gilliard, an African-American blogger who made a cartoon of Michael Steele in minstrel garb. That story made The Washington Post.

I'm glad these pathetic clowns are so up front about their treasonous mindset. It'll make it a lot easier to round 'em up once they do something truly foolish lol.

Slight typo in his column. I think he meant to say, '[u]nlike enlisted personnel, they do not swear to obey the orders of [a Democratic] president of the United States,' rather than “the.”

And, coups are always civilized and legal when right wing kooks advocate them. Always. Even Third World ones.

OK…I condemn this article.

But…he covers many points that are very high in the worries of many people in the U.S. some of them already proven true, some speculated at and others that are more worthy of being scare tactics than anything else.

But his premise of the Military being involved in or the method of salvation or revolution is wrong, and wrong-headed.

Now I can see ex-U.S. Military involved in coming back and running for office in their states or even national offices. I can see x-Mil joining organizations such as The Oath Keepers. I can see x-Mil coming back and setting up local militias, and going to Tea Parties and even speaking at them. I can see them going door to door getting out the vote to get Obama and the Democrats out of office.

I can also see as a last resort, mass resignations of Officers in our Military services.

But in the bitter end, if salvation or revolution is needed for the preservation and protection of this Republic, it will fall to each citizen to stand up, load up and march forward to do it.

The Second Amendment is a doomsday provision, one designed for those exceptionally rare circumstances where all other rights have failed – where the government refuses to stand for reelection and silences those who protest; where courts have lost the courage to oppose, or can find no one to enforce their decrees. However improbable these contingencies may seem today, facing them unprepared is a mistake a free people get to make only once.
