Heres an interesting little detail of the Bundy Ranch Revolution That Wasnt, out in Nevada or British Columbia or wherever: at least some of the geniuses who claim they were running things had plans if things came to a shootin war with the Feds to put all the women out front, so they could bravely get shot first, to prove what monsters the jackbooted federal thugs are. This sounds like the sort of perfectly sane thing a great strategic thinker might come up with, and turns out to be the brainchild of former Arizona Sheriff Richard Mack, who has a thriving business speaking to assorted wingnut groups and telling them that the true Constitutional power in this country is vested in county sheriffs, not the Federal Government. Apparently it was like a Whos Who of rightwing idiots out there last week.
As detailed by Glenn Becks The Blaze (there they go being momentarily sane again), Mack laid out his genius plan Monday on Fox Newss The Real Story, explaining with coldblooded cynicism his strategy to stage-manage any armed conflict with the Feds to elicit maximum sympathy for the brave militia patriots who love America so much they were willing to send the women to die first:
We were actually strategizing to put all the women up at the front, he said. If they are going to start shooting, its going to be women that are going to be televised all across the world getting shot by these rogue federal officers.
