So only the Left can have their fringe individuals, but if it looks conservative, swoop down on it? I've seen hundreds of posters, signs, blogs and posts threatening President Bush, but never heard of any FBI follow-through, have you? Heck, they even made a MOVIE about his death!!

as articulated on the Guardians of the free Republics website, is part screed, part call to action to depose an illegitimate government in favor of restoring the people's "common law."

I wish these whackos had chosen a different name....too close for comfort, IIYWIM.

Interesting name - so far, I don’t see them calling for violence so it sounds like a non-issue except for in the feverish minds of 0bama and his masters and minions.

The FBI has not released the letters. The bureau said they contain no direct threat but asserted that their implied threat to governors could serve to spark lone-wolf violence.

So, something seen as an "implied threat" (who determines that?) might cause a loony tune to act in some way. Where was the FBI when all the sh*t about Bush being the biggest terrorist (BTW, where is Scott Ritter now?) and being burned in effigy was going down? That was free speech, but this isn't? And for the record, IMO, Guardians of the free Republics are Ron Paul type nuts, but even they are entitled to free speech.

A small sample of the LEFT HATE, smears and threats against Republicans that NEVER MADE THE EVENING NEWS (and never will)...

Has anyone heard John “Obama would make a fine president” McCain condemn this leftist tactic against the Tea Party, etc??

MUST SEE!! The ‘Flush the John’ Song has gone viral and is on YOU TUBE! Exposes the REAL John McCain.

WASHINGTON — Governors across the country said Friday that they had received letters from an extremist group warning that that they might be forcibly removed from office if they did not step down within three days.

Officials from the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Department of Homeland Security confirmed that they had sent out an intelligence note with information about potential threats made to governors by a group calling itself.....

This group is going to get the EYE of Obama on it, remember the Eye of Sauron in Lord of the Rings?

Same thing here, frankly I have been neutral on discussing this for obvious reasons.

But I can say this, it has struck a nerve big time.

Popcorn time people.

I just love this part of the article:

The FBI has not released the letters. The bureau said they contain no direct threat but asserted that their implied threat to governors could serve to spark lone-wolf violence. In response, several states increased capitol security Friday.

Hmmm... No direct threat. But an implied threat. I'm curious to see what they consider an implied threat.

I guess I don't understand why the GFR are being called 'whackos'. Have you guys read their goals on their website? What is wrong with wanting to return to alloidal titles on land, instead of the state declaring I am a 'tenant' on my own land? What is wrong with getting rid of the corrupt Federal Reserve? What is wrong with getting rid of the communist progressive income tax? What is wrong with getting rid of the inflated Obamadollar and replacing with gold-backed dollar? And all of these things are proposed to be done by NON-VIOLENT means, working through the system, using the same tactics that were used to put the present communist system in place, beginning in 1933.

A agree with these things, so I guess that makes me a whacko. So be it.
