Another right wing nut suggests a military coup against Obama administration

[LuckyTheDog]

The last four paragraphs of this column by right-wing writer Gina Miller come pretty close to an explicit endorsement of (and call for) a military coup:

Naturally, there will be those who say our troops and officers should not be speaking out against their Commander-in-Chief, that they should just do what they're told without question. But these military members have sworn to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America. At what point should they stand up against the anti-constitutional lawlessness of this administration? Do they have a duty to defend the Obama regime in its criminal behavior? Do they not have a duty to resist it?

I have no doubt that Obama fears a military coup against him and his administration. He knows the U.S. military is likely the only earthly power with the capability of removing him from office. Yes, I know Congress could move to impeach him, but do you see any hint of those people growing the guts to do it? He's not worried about Congress or even the courts stopping him, but he is worried about the military, so he's doing all he can to commandeer it, to squash opposition, to rid it of those pesky patriots, Christians, and any others who might question his communist sensibilities.

Barack Obama desperately needs to be removed from office. While we have certainly had bad presidents in the past, his lawlessness is unprecedented. His disdain for our nation's Constitution is despicable. His disregard for the limit on his power is breathtaking. His systematic deconstruction of our once-free Republic is beyond treasonous. If he is not stopped, then by the end of his current term, his destruction of our freedoms, our economy, and our American way of life will likely be complete.

Again I ask, what will it take to stop Barack Obama?

1. The list of those "crimes" is right off Pox News and from paranoid right wing shock jocks

http://investmentwatchblog.com/the-complete-list-of-barack-obamas-scandals-misdeeds-crimes-and-blunders/

These people really are insane. Many of what they list was started under their boy Stupid. Others are outright lies. A few are half truths.

The first thing any Democratic Congress needs to do is reinstitute the Fairness Doctrine. Stop this garbage from being disseminated in a vacuum, unanswered.

2. I won't go to the link, but my question would be is the author active duty military? If so, then

that person needs to be discharged immediately

8. Always willing to take one for the crew, I went to her site...

and she is not military, but she is an even worse wacko than she seems here.

Yes, that is possible.

24. You don't need to have served in the military to know that they take oaths to uphold the constitutio

There's nothing in the constitution that permits a military coup.

30. That freeper had a short life!

LOL

[Revanchist]

26. Well I served 20 years and members of the military can get into trouble by speaking out against

the president (also known as their Command in Chief)

THE RIGHT TO SAY AND WRITE WHAT YOU THINK

Members of the military have the right to say or to write what they think, up to a point. They can't say things that encourage violence (other than as part of authorized military operations) or urge others to violate military regulations. They can't communicate with "the enemy," for example, by writing letters to Iraqi officials or soldiers. Article 88 of the UCMJ (Uniform Code of Military Justice) makes it a crime for a commissioned officer to use "contemptuous words" against the President, Vice-President, Secretary of Defense, and other specified high government officials. Enlisted members can be prosecuted under Article 134 for using similar words. The words have to be "to the prejudice of good order and discipline in the armed forces, or conduct of a nature to bring discredit upon the armed forces." Military members have gotten into trouble for calling officials "fascists," "thieves," murderers" "tyrants" "fools" and "gangsters." This law is selectively enforced. Some officers didn't get in trouble for saying bad things about President Clinton, for example. Article 117 of the UCMJ outlaws using "provoking or reproachful words or gestures" towards someone else in the military. The more real danger, however, if from saying things that could make other members desert, disobey lawful orders, or refuse to do their jobs. That kind of speech could violate Article 82 of the UCMJ, which makes it a crime for someone in the military to ask someone else to desert or mutiny (disobey orders as a group).

3. President Obama always goes down for a 9-count

but just on the "10," something always happens and he's up again.

Things are tough now, and it's not a fighter he's facing, it's a whole damned tag team...

Good luck Mr. President...

I still have faith in him

4. Sedition . . .

and she needs to be visited by the Secret Service and the FBI — maybe even taken "downtown" for a little chat.

[2naSalit]

10. And a special jacket

to wear for a spell. Maybe her own private 8X10 personal suite complete with wall padding and no wifi.

6. What fucking Bizarro World do these people live in?

What exactly has he done to warrant anything she's suggesting? I know we know it's nothing, but what is it that has got their collective panties in a wad?

7. If the military mounts a coup, though, who will protect military families from the VERY

angry majority? There aren't enough of them to hold this country illegally AND protect their own.

Just curious.

[Pretzel_Warrior]

17. [phone]!!!

Exactly. I would imagine millions would take it upon themselves to stomp a military takeover.

You just fucking don't do that in the U.S.

11. Ever notice how every wingnut fancies themselves a constitutional scholar?

And yet most struggle with basic grammar, have difficulty with reading comprehension, and are totally dependent on some clown radio/TV shock jocks to feed them their talking points.

These self-claimed "patriots" and self-proclaimed "Christians" are nothing but mini con-artist wannabes sucked in by the dominionist television cabal - which for the last 20 years or more has been claiming exclusive rights to constitutional interpretation, along with exclusive claims to God and true religion. Real patriots and real Christians don't have to run around screaming their identity out of every megaphone and mike.

They seem to keep hoping that if they repeat the same catch phrases over and over and over again, everyone is going to believe them. I think they've finally overplayed their hand and the reaction from most people now is a barely polite rolling of the eyes.

27. Well said! Many are barely literate, and then they profess intellectual knowledge and understanding

of the constitution and religion. They are tribal, the internet and shock jock MSM have allowed them to clump together as one large and ignorant POS.

32. It's called propaganda

and it has been alive and well ever since Rush Limbaugh went on the air in the 1980s. And he spawned many imitators. Local DJs who emulated him. Propaganda and brain washing. I saw it then as brainwashing which I had studied in high school. (yes, I am that old) and the republicans have been using it for decades. Now it is Fox news that does the most brainwashing which is probably why they passed the telecommunications bill in the 90s.

12. Jesus Christ isn't that sedition?

[Warren DeMontague]

13. Theyre coming to take me away, ha ha, ho ho, hee hee!

[KY5]

14. I would never accept the legitimacy of a leader installed by a military coup.

Nope.

[Samantha]

15. I would rather discuss how to stop people like Gina Miller from writing lies (n/t)

18. Why do so many people even pay attention to these nuts?

Every other week these people call for civil war.

[LuckyTheDog]

21. I think they need to be exposed

The more people see of this stuff, the more likely they are to understand that the right is out to destroy democracy by any means necessary.

[Dwayne Hicks]

19. Disgusting

I sent this page to the DHS and FBI.

[Botany]

20. She is either crazy or a con artist or maybe a mix of both

"The homosexualization of our military is a big one."

BTW the web site she is on is packed w/nut jobs .... one who
has an article (I skipped it) about how the Cooch will win in VA.

[B Calm]

25. Why is it the wing nuts feel like they own the military

and are there for their enjoyment only?

[IdaBriggs]

28. This person is such a nut - what "crimes"?

Perhaps their family should be working to get them treatment!

[RKP5637]

29. When I read stuff like this ... no wonder some form of surveillance is required, etc. n/t

[GreenStormCloud]

31. How often do we see OPs calling for revolution?

For example: http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=3953904

That OP directs on to an article from Alternet. http://www.alternet.org/revolution

Both the left and the right have their crazies.
