For the uninitiated, the Oath Keepers is a group of law enforcement officials and military types whose goal is to uphold the Constitution, unless the government starts getting unconstitutionally tyrannical in their business. With that in mind, here’s one of them calling for Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) to be tried and hung to death.
Via Right Wing Watch comes a video of Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes speaking to a conservative gathering in Arizona. In the middle of his speech, reminding the audience of how Ron Paul delegates were shut out of the 2008 GOP convention he blasted the former Navy captain for his membership in the “GOP good-ol’-boy network.”
Rhodes then said that the “traitor” was “their preordained, anointed candidate who would go along with the program of the destruction of this country”:
He should be tried for treason before a jury of his peers, which he would deny you,” he went on. “He supports your denial of a jury trial, he supported the NDAA saying that he could just have the president slam you into a brig in North Carolina or South Carolina or wherever else he wanted to, try you by military tribunal and have you executed. He would deny you the right for trial to jury — but we will give him a trial for jury, and then after we convict him, he should be hung by the neck until dead! But that was their candidate! The Arizona Senate President Andy Biggs (R) also happened to be there as the keynote speaker, but didn’t quite realize who he was associating with until after Rhodes made his comments.
You will be whining for the Oathkeepers when the SHTF. Oathkeepers take the oath and put on a label and make themselves a target for tyranny. They stand up. Stewart Rhodes is a patriot. Don’t be a Jacknape.
Ask the owner of the Sugar Pine Mine in OR who is standing between him and the Jack booted BLM right now today?
nope,
NOt nearly severe enough.
I sent money to J D Hayworth.
Didn’t do any good because AZ voters are stupid.
Proof is that they elected another cheap labor importer, Jeff Flake.
I agree..... this is definitely over the top and doesn’t help this guy’s cause
besides if you are already going to hang him whats with a trial?
I vote with the founder of Oath Keepers.
“Big difference in being “hung” and “hanged”.”
Right, I’ve never been...well, never mind.
YOU have no idea what YOU’RE talking about - I was providing off-site intel and comm support during the event, and I KNOW what happened...
My oath doesn’t expire either - I simply don’t need membership cards or ball caps from a scam organization to prove it.
Oathkeepers Inc (all rights reserved) are the Scientologists of the patriot movement. They are NOT to be trusted, and if you had common sense (as you don’t it seems) you’d agree with me.
Likely the only Bundy off site intel you were giving was the color of the dust bunnies under your bed.
The Oathkeepers are one of a few credible professional groups who are throwing a scare into these govt jackboots. Especially the BLM.
Again, like others, you don’t know what you’re talking about.
This conversation bores me. Welcome to the list.
Yeh if I were you I’d back off too. Thanks for playing.
Woman, shut up. You never served anything but a sandwich a day in your life.
Still stand by your post?
What is your point dredging this up 5 years later?
You and a few others might just be on the verge of finding out. :-)
The internet is forever. It can never be erased.
