We've been down this road before...perhaps we need to resurrect the term "lobsterbacks."

"In their own words: OFA and ACORN may soon look to use violence against political opponents
Organizing for America (OFA) is a cadre of Obama supporters, first marshaled a few weeks ago to ignite grassroots support for the President's massive budget bill.
Last week, The Birmingham News reported that groups like OFA and ACORN were organizing volunteers to canvas for Obama's agenda. The iconography of the OFA marketing material is bizarre: it is affiliated not with the Democrat Party, but Barack Obama himself.
Those who gathered at Kelly Ingram Park in downtown Birmingham were urged to enlist others who share Obama's vision and to stay away from trying to convert naysayers.
"We're looking for supporters," said DeHaven of Hoover, one of the event's organizers. "We're not looking for a fight. That will come later, when we have an army."
Comforting, given that ACORN and OFA are certain to benefit from the insidious GIVE Act, which provides $5.7 billion to create 250,000 "paid volunteer" jobs.
The Senate defeated an amendment to GIVE that would have prevented groups with political arms -- like ACORN and OFA -- from receiving funds. That means these community organizing groups, affiliated with Obama himself, could receive billions of taxpayer money.
And the GIVE Act may tie directly to Obama's bizarre promise -- repeated publicly on two occasions -- to create a "civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded” as our military."
Specifically mentioned in the bill are programs "that strengthen community efforts in support of homeland security."
In other words, GIVE could militarize ACORN and OFA under the guise of "homeland security." It provides housing, uniforms, food, logistics, unspecified equipment and "other services determined by the Director."
DeHaven simply confirmed what anyone can read for themselves in the bill.
"We're not looking for a fight. That will come later, when we have an army"
Courtesy of the GIVE Act, Obama's army -- an unprecedented internal security force operating as a political wing of a President's re-election campaign -- appears to be on the way. Funded by taxpayers, no less.
I'd call them Brownshirts, but ACORN's color is red."

LAUGHING at the prospect of these idiots trying to take this fight to the next level.
If the idiot in the White House seriously tries to ARM and organize these thugs, well....
Brownshirts, Greenshirts, Redshirts, whatever. They’ll be equipped with night sticks, mace, billy clubs...guns?
“We’re looking for supporters,” said DeHaven of Hoover, one of the event’s organizers. “We’re not looking for a fight. That will come later, when we have an army.”
“to create a “civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded” as our military.” - Barak Obama
Stimulus $$$ going to pay for Barak’s army?
Oh the proverbial will hit the fan when they strike and there will be death on the streets like never before seen. Bring it in commies!!!
Come get some.
Barack’s Sturm Abteilung...
That doesn't impress or intimidate this former 11 Bravo and current NRA member.
And if they are, then so will we... I will not go gently into the nightmare of Socialism
Hmmm, memo to self: Pick up more 30 rd mags.
The quotes — particularly the ‘wait until we have an army’ stuff, came from an article in the Birmingham News pub’d in late March. It was even picked up by Melanie Phillips in England. I e-mailed the B’Ham reporter to ask why she didn’t follow up with a question about what the Obamaloid acatually meant by that,did he mean that literally—but she didn’t reply.
Came from this original article, which has been archived, so incomplete:
“Obama volunteers hunt budget support in Birmingham, Alabama grassroots campaign
Sunday, March 22, 2009

Volunteers fanned out across the Birmingham area and Alabama Saturday to pump up enthusiasm for President Barack Obama’s budget proposal in much the same way they did to win over voters during the presidential campaign.
About 30 volunteers in Birmingham canvassed shopping areas and other high-traffic locations to talk about the need for health care reform, an education overhaul and environmentally friendly energy development.
“If we don’t change these three things in the next 10 to 15 years, America is over as we know it,” Chris DeHaven, told the group of volunteers before they went their separate ways.
Obama’s plan faces criticism from Republicans and others who say it’s too expensive. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office released a report Friday saying Obama’s agenda would cause huge budget deficits, forcing the country to borrow $9.3 trillion in the next decade.
Those who gathered at Kelly Ingram Park in downtown Birmingham were urged to enlist others who share Obama’s vision and to stay away from trying to convert naysayers.
“We’re looking for supporters,” said DeHaven of Hoover, one of the event’s organizers. “We’re not looking for a fight. That will come later, when we have an army.”
The volunteers are part of Organizing for America, the same grassroots, national network credited in large part with Obama’s quick rise from obscurity to president. Birmingham and 11 other sites statewide were part of a national push this weekend by Organizing for America to trumpet Obama’s spending proposal.
Across the metro area, volunteers gave their opinions about why Obama’s plan is good for the country’s future. Then they asked those willing to sign a pledge of support for the budget. Supporters’ e-mail addresses and other contact information were collected, to keep people engaged and to recruit more volunteers.
Leanne Townsend of Hoover also helped organize Saturday’s event. She has been a member of the Obama grassroots network since March 2007....”
Excuse me while I don’t hide under the bed. There will always be more of us than these insane idiots. When was America ever unarmed?
Incredible, just like the incredulity when some would be burglar suddenly has when confronted with armed resistance.
I don’t like it when anyone is killed without time to repent, but it’s just a fact of life that if you take up with violence, you will meet with a violent end yourself. Are you listening BO?
September 8th, Cascades park, Jackson Michigan at noon.
Come see us.
This is going to be great for race relations in this country. Cuz I’ll tell you what, when that crap hits the fan, the targeting will be all race related, and it will be 30 years before the ramifications of this will calm down.
We've been down this road before...perhaps we need to resurrect the term "lobsterbacks."
obama, holder, sibelius, and PBS’ lerner have told them
to ‘crack heads’ and that any criminal action will
neither be prosecuted nor reported on TV.
