Media Matters for America has NewsMax article which called for military coup against Obama
There is a remote, although gaining, possibility America's military will intervene as a last resort to resolve the "Obama problem." Don't dismiss it as unrealistic.

America isn't the Third World. If a military coup does occur here it will be civilized. That it has never happened doesn't mean it wont. Describing what may be afoot is not to advocate it.

Will the day come when patriotic general and flag officers sit down with the president, or with those who control him, and work out the national equivalent of a "family intervention," with some form of limited, shared responsibility?

Imagine a bloodless coup to restore and defend the Constitution through an interim administration that would do the serious business of governing and defending the nation. Skilled, military-trained, nation-builders would replace accountability-challenged, radical-left commissars. Having bonded with his twin teleprompters, the president would be detailed for ceremonial speech-making.

Military intervention is what Obama's exponentially accelerating agenda for "fundamental change" toward a Marxist state is inviting upon America. A coup is not an ideal option, but Obama's radical ideal is not acceptable or reversible.

Unthinkable? Then think up an alternative, non-violent solution to the Obama problem. Just don't shrug and say, "We can always worry about that later."

In the 2008 election, that was the wistful, self-indulgent, indifferent reliance on abnegation of personal responsibility that has sunk the nation into this morass.

Please do not ignore, minimize, or pass this off as simple wishful thinking. The fringe section of the right wing really thinks that this is preferable to having Obama as President, just look at the birthers and their obvious desire to ignore the consent of the governed.

Will the modern day Smedley Darlington Butler please go to Congress and testify about this before things get out of control?

Yes, this has almost happened before . . .

3. If this guy accidentally cut an artery, I'd not stop the bleeding.
I might watch, though.

4. Nutty and treasonous. The RW just can't accept that they lost an election.

6. If you watch Fox News and listen carefully as they berate Obama
for not listening to the Military, you would think the Coup
is here.

Fox's naturally nationalistic(not in a good way) tone and
Neocon Hawkishness can give one pause.
