"American Spring" promoter threatens violence...

God Will Bless Operation American Spring, Or Prepare For Violence

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Wednesday, 2/5/2014 3:00 pm

During an appearance last month on a birther radio program, Operation American Spring organizer Harry Riley predicted that his protest campaign to force President Obama out of office will work because “it’s bathed in prayer” and “under God.” After wildly overstating the number of gun owners in the U.S., Riley said that if government officials “don’t do what we’re suggesting or what we’re demanding,” then Americans could see “a violent condition erupt in our nation.”

Not saying that that's a bad thing, it just made me spend 15 minutes looking at the fuckwittery of the "conservative" echo chamber.

Every weekday, they document the screwy crap from the far-right.

Everything from Glenn Beck to preachers who want the US to be a theocracy.

A couple dozen at most will show up, and there will be lots of right-wing media people there.

They will make speeches, and then go to their web sites where they will post faked pictures of the "event," and brag about the "millions" who were there.
