Dallas republican candidate advocating "violent overthrow of gov't" if election doesn't go his way

Stephen Broden, a Republican running for Congress in a Dallas, Texas, district, says if the Nov. 2 election does not yield the desired change in Washington then a violent overthrow of government is one option "on the table," the Dallas Morning News reported.

Broden, a South Dallas pastor, made the remark in a prolonged back-and-forth exchange with WFAA-TV on Thursday. Asked about his statement at a tea party event last year that the current government is tyrannical and could be altered by revolution, Broden initially avoided the issue of insurrection. Altering it or abolishing it would be the best way to deal with repressive government, he said.

Pressed by reporter Brad Watson, Broden said: "If the government is not producing the results or has become destructive to the ends of our liberties, we have a right to get rid of that government by any means necessary." Whoa! Does that include violence as an option, the interviewer asked. "The option is on the table. I don't think we remove anything from the table as it relates to our liberties and our freedoms," Broden said.

Broden is running in a heavily Democratic district against nine-term Democratic Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson . . .

1. Must be the 1902948th "isolated incident"

2. The option of arresting Mr. Broden for sedition is also "on the table" now.

Just so the traitorous, assbastard knows.

3. Heavily-Dem district, but Johnson is embroiled in a scandal.

Still, this may ensure that Broden won't make any headway.
