Far-right radio host and militia leader now feuding over hotel incident...

They are down to calling each other names, Santilli calling the militia leader Odum an "alcoholic" and Odum calling Santilli a "borderline lunatic."

I knew something like this would happen, too much inflated ego, and desire for publicity.

Bizarre Early Morning Hotel Evacuation Ends In ‘Border Convoy’ Feud

By David Neiwert August 21, 2014 6:00 am - 26 Comments

Pete Santilli insists that militiamen saved his life from drug cartels trying to assassinate him during his “Border Convoy." But the whole weird tale of a panicked late-night evacuation plays a key role in the internecine feud that has erupted in its wake.

Pete Santilli insists that militiamen saved his life from drug cartels trying to assassinate him during his “Border Convoy,” a publicity stunt held earlier this month to focus anger about Central American refugee children arriving in the United States.

But his fellow participants are not so sure, leading to a far-right internecine feud between Santilli and his chief cohort in the convoy, a longtime Tea Party organizer named Eric Odom, who Santilli has accused of “co-opting” and “psy-opping” the event and smearing him with accusations of alcoholism, and Odom dismissing Santilli as a “borderline lunatic.”

"The only thing that would have produced a better outcome to this would have been a well timed car backfire in the lot of that motel when the militia tools were all wandering around drunk and exercising their second amendment rights."

Better than the movies. Can't wait for the shoot-out at the OK corral. Now , this is entertainment - is reality TV aware of this?
