Stewart Rhodes does not seem like an extremist. He is a graduate of Yale Law School and a former U.S. Army paratrooper and congressional staffer. He is not at all secretive. In February he was sitting at a table at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) at a fancy downtown hotel in Washington, handing out fliers and selling T shirts for his organization, the Oath Keepers. Rhodes says he has 6,000 dues-paying members, active and retired police and military, who promise never to take orders to disarm U.S. citizens or herd them into concentration camps. Rhodes told a NEWSWEEK reporter, "We're not a militia." Oath Keepers do not run around the woods on the weekend shooting weapons or threatening the violent overthrow of the government. Their oath is to uphold the Constitution and defend the American people from dictatorship.

“Anitgovernment”: a word that couldn’t be found in the MSM’s lexicon from 2000 - 2008.
Thats the best part of it, the millions of people that know no amount of MSM “evil extremist” stereotyping will ever change their sense of the proper direction and the right things to do.
Evan Thomas admitted years ago he and the media are totally biased.
How good of a reporter is he even? I wouldn’t say the Wardman Park Marriott where CPAC was held is in “downtown” DC. It is in Northwest. I wouldn’t trust this article based on that error alone.
“Rhodes says he has 6,000 dues-paying members, active and retired police and military, who promise never to take orders to disarm U.S. citizens or herd them into concentration camps...”
Yeah. That’s real hateful, isn’t it? Hateful to tyrants. It’s a good thing the turds at Newsweek weren’t around in 1776...no telling how they would classify the founding fathers for daring freedom.
Incidentally, a few days ago Cincy talk-show host Mike McConnell got Mark Potok so incensed by McConnell's critical questioning about hate groups, (Potok wrote a book where all the haters are right-wing and claimed on the show that the Black Panthers were a right-wing org.) that he hung up on him. Potok couldn't take a questioner who wasn't groveling before him.
OK, here goes...
Newsweak is a seditious yellow rag in the tank for the de-facto 0bama regime!
I tried but it doesn't come out the same. I suppose I should give up any hope of becoming a teleprompter puppet.
NAH...we’ve got to hit them back Alinsky like...just call the DEMS and Socialists what they are .... OPPRESSORS....(like the hippies did in the 60’s)...it’s short, simple, and truthful...
I like Looters. The only place I encounter lefties is on Youtube and they go nuts if you call them Looters.
Yeah...I like that too! Looters AND Oppressors!
Regime is another word they hate now too. I started calling it the de-facto 0bama regime when 0bummer and the state dept. started calling the government in Honduras a de-facto regime. If they hate it I use it. lol
“the nation’s first African-American president seem to have brought about a revival”
The leftist scum just can’t seem to let go of this red herring. The right doesn’t give a hoot about the color of the great zero’s skin. It’s the color of his philosophy(RED) we are pissed about.
Evan Thomas (and Newsweek) would argue with that. They believe the U.S. government gets its power from the media.
Just ask them.
The barking poodles at Newsweak are terrified of citizens with guns. The image of Mussolini hanging in the Piazzale Loreto makes them wake up nights in a cold sweat. Traitors and dictators are always one step away from earning their just rewards.
