The federal government is budgeting funds for an anticipated “hot summer” of domestic unrest.
“With the likes of Limbaugh, Santelli, Cramer and others stirring up trouble with their repeated expressions of disrespect toward the President, we’ve got to be prepared,” said the President’s Press Secretary, Robert Gibbs. “We cannot tolerate any destabilizing demonstrations of disloyalty during these times of severe economic crisis.”
Gibbs warned that “the army has been training assiduously for this sort of contingency since day-one of this Administration. There is an old saying from World War II that ‘loose lips sink ships.’ Well, we cannot afford to allow the loose lips of talk radio to sink the American ship of state. The President has said he will take whatever action he deems necessary to see that this doesn’t happen. He will not be deterred by formalistic notions regarding freedom of speech or assembly that may conflict with his intent to transform this country.”

I'm sure the order would be met with either "About Face!" or "Too the rear, march" and turn on him.
THAT would be protecting and defending the Constitution.
It’s a BS story, the riot gear is normal stock for The Military prison at Fort Leavenworth Kansas.
Our soldiers don’t need riot gear, they have body armor.
DUH!
.
Me too.
My friend got a grenade launcher for Christmas, but shhhhh. Don’t tell anyone, kay?
rumor has it that the military has been told to be ready to defend the whitehouse.
Wow, this is crazy. “He will not be deterred by formalistic notions regarding freedom of speech or assembly that may conflict with his intent to transform this country.” That is a ridiculously disturbing comment. And training the army to handle “this situation”? I’m not sure the army was intended to police its own citizens.
I knew people were stocking up on guns and ammo for some reason, now I understand why

Is there another link (news article) to verify this quote, please? Thanks.
hmm, now thats odd, for the past 8 years, I’ve seen bumper stickers that claim “dissent is the highest form of patriotism” and now thats not the case?
wow, am I shocked.
Heh....
so they are going to defend the constitution also and remove the illegitimate Kenyan basterd....finally ! !
So if riots happen, Barry’s going to blame Rush. It’s a setup for the reinstatement of the Fairness Doctrine and the end of the 1st Amendment.
How reliable is the source of the rumor?
I would have thought so too until a conversation I had with an Army field officer night before last.
will you please tell some of these people that this is satire?
