Obama has raised a Private Army for his Totalitarian State-Rep Braun(R-GA)

[RamboLiberal]

Rep. Paul Broun (R-GA) believes that President Obama is bent on turning the United States into a totalitarian state and already has all the tools he needs for the purpose.

“He has the three things that are necessary to establish an authoritarian government,” Broun told a meeting of local Georgia Republicans on Wednesday, citing the creation of a private army, a ban on gun ownership, and complete control of the press.

The threat of Democratic Party totalitarianism appears to be an issue very close to Broun’s heart. Last month, he described President Obama, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid as “a socialistic elite” and responded to a question about swine flu preparations by warning, “They’re trying to develop an environment where they can take over.”

Broun bases his claim that Obama intends to set up a private army on a speech during last year’s presidential campaign in which the then-candidate called for the establishment of “a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded” as the military.

Oh, and I heard a couple of months ago the ammunition shortage was caused by Obama buying up all the ammo for this private army.

[Bobbieo]

19. If Obama has complete control of the press, how come Fox News is still in business?

[NoPasaran]

2. You'd think a totalitarian dictator would be able to address the nation's schoolchildren

Without creating a big brouhaha

[Colobo]

3. The American Right today would make McCarthy proud.

4. Can he name one federal gun law that has changed since Obama took over?

I don't think so.

[sweetloukillbot]

26. Well, there was the one that allowed guns in National Parks...

But that was actually loosening the restrictions. So I'm not sure if he'd want to count that one....

[no_hypocrisy]

5. Complete control of the press????? Excuse Me???

:rofl:

:rofl:

[calimary]

16. Yeah, no kidding!

:crazy: :silly: :wtf: :shrug: :rofl: :spray:

See, if I had known about any such media domination or private army ready to further his agenda or whatever the hell this clown thinks Obama's scheming, I believe I might at least have known about it, if I weren't already participating in it. I mean, we were rather active in trying to help the Obama campaign throughout last year, so you'd think we'd have been on a first-to-notify list or some such thing...

:crazy: :silly: :wtf: :shrug: :rofl: :spray:

[nolabear]

35. Wouldn't you think?

I mean, what does it take to get the signet ring and the secret handshake around here? We campaigned and I'm a shreiking, bleedingheart liberal. We gave money, canvassed...geesh. Maybe it's because guns give me the heebie-jeebies. But I KNOW Obama's super secret socialist army must need soldiers who do other things. I could commandeer Republican Humvees for taking over the cities! I could help with the indoctrination of our youth! C'mon Mr. President, I wannt SERRRRRRVE!

17. What drugs is Broun on?

[Diamonique]

34. That one got a belly-laugh out of me too.

These folks are krazeeee!

[Justitia]

6. what a farking nutcase - wowsa!

[wilt the stilt]

7. why do I live in this fruitcake state

fucking nutcases

[Justitia]

9. Aww, don't feel too bad. I'm in TX where our guv apparently wants a "do over" of the Civil War.

'Batshit Insane' is all the rage these days, south of the Mason-Dixon!

:hug:

[Beregond2]

10. Good question.

My niece and her husband just took a huge financial loss to get out of GA before their daughter reaches school age. "No way we are letting her grow up in this psycho state" was their reason.

[wilt the stilt]

28. I tried to talk my wife into moving 10 years ago.

she regrets it now

[Cha]

8. Republicons must have a contest where whomever

tells the dirtiest lies gets a medal pinned on their ass by rush limpbaugh.

[CurtEastPoint]

11. This clown got elected by under 400 votes. Maybe NEXT time the ...

voters in Athens who have some sense will toss his ass out.

What an embarrassment to my state. And THAT'S saying something!

[muntrv]

12. What? Blackwater now answers to Obama?

[jenmito]

13. He must be a Glenn Beck follower. n/t

[LynnTheDem]

14. What...ya thought only places like IRAN had insane rightwingnut govt officials??!

Pulleeeeease!

[Gman]

15. They know if they keep talking like this someone will take a shot at the president

and they don't want the guy/people to miss.

[RedCloud]

18. Do they drug test congress people?

[TwilightGardener]

20. Like the guy on Keith's show said last week: They're trying to get him killed

by creating an atmosphere of "kill or be killed" (death panels, seizing your weapons, secret armies, etc.)--they're trying to inspire some wacko to take a shot. They've been doing this since the campaign, and it's getting worse.

[Elmore Furth]

21. As a private in Obama's Totalitarian Army I'm deporting Broun back to Koo Koo Lah Lah Land

I don't believe Broun was born in this country.

:thumbsdown: :dunce:

[grantcart]

22. I am starting to really like the idea of FEMA concentration camps.

[Jennicut]

23. Stick the crazies in them! Its almost too tempting...

[depakid]

24. In their minds at least, we have a fight on our hands

If anyone thinks this sort of deal is going away- or that pandering to them will make anything better, that's NAIVE in the worst sort of way.

People like Broun quite literally have the emotional maturity of primary school kids. Maybe middle school kids in the states.

That's how they think. That's how they're reinforced to think- and that's how they'll be until they're relegated to the back of the class, consistently.

Note to High School kid Chris Matthews: not only is your sorry show unwatchable (you holler over each other so much that sensible folks can't hear what anyone's saying) -but why on earth do you feel the need to prop some gun wearing nutter to prominence on a national stage?

What, so you can look good to your "admirers" while you "smack him down?" LOL.

Grow up.

[Amos Moses]

25. Possibly even more deranged than Michele Bachmann.

[Anakin Skywalker]

27. So Why Is This Moron Not Resigning? But Van Jones Had To?

Rethugs say outrageous things every damn day and they are happily staying put while taunting you! People should call them out for their ridiculous comments!

[WinkyDink]

29. Exactly! He's got Blackwater mercenaries, FOX-TV, Post-Katrina camps, ......oh, wait.

[Dawgs]

30. FIL just said, "If that man has a sane thought in his head, he's keeping it to himself".

He lives in the district and knows his family.

[saltpoint]

31. Jesus.

[Paladin]

32. Hey, I've Got A Great Idea!

Let's all just ignore this Republican official. Let's not do a single thing, not even discuss him. Let's have complete, unquestioning faith in our brilliant Democratic policy makers---and in the obvious, repeatedly-demonstrated ability of the American public to discern healthy political debate as opposed to overheated partisan rhetoric---and be confident that we're going to ultimately prevail. And let's follow this well-proven practice, over and over again, until victory just falls in our deserving laps.

Sound good to everybody? 'Nuff said.....

(Big-ass, despairing sarcasm alert.)

[Arkana]

33. What a fucking freakjob.

People like this need to be locked away so they don't hurt themselves or others.

Paul Broun and Michele Bachmann should have an insane lovebaby--it could be the heir to Raygun's legacy!

[opihimoimoi]

36. Xe the old BlackWater...was close to reaching this level...but not by Obama but BUSH
