Can anyone come up with a valid reason why this dangerous lunatic hasn't been arrested yet for inciting the assassination of President Obama?

Crooks & Liars are on it...

Gun-toting Arizona protester belongs to hate-mongering pastor's flock
By David Neiwert

So it turns out that Contessa Brewer had good reason to see a connection between http://crooksandliars.com/david-neiwert/gospel-hate-arizona-pastor-steve-and">the rabidly hateful rhetoric spewed by the likes of Pastor Steven Anderson and the angry, gun-toting protesters turning out for presidential events: One of the most prominent of these, an African-American man named "Chris", is in fact a member of Pastor Anderson's congregation.

"Chris" was on Alex Jones' "Prison Planet" radio show late last week and discussed how "my pastor was beaten up" at a Border Patrol checkpoint.

Yes, that pastor is indeed Steven Anderson, http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/2009/04/17/20090417borderbeating0417-ON.html">who was arrested in April by the Border Patrol for being uncooperative at a patrol checkpoint. Anderson attempted to make himself something of a national martyr to the conspiracists out there by posting http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUzd7G875Hc">a video to YouTube about it that quickly went viral.

Jones took note of the Anderson connection:

Jones: Now I'm starting to get a clearer picture. You go to Pastor Anderson's church, I see.

Chris: Yeah, yes I do. Proudly. I think it's the best church in the world.

1. I'm glad people are beginning to notice Alex's role in all this he was on this ...

'Nazi ' and dehumanizing of Obama way before Beck was they've all taken his lead. I don't know what he got up to in the 90's but get the feeling a lot of the outlandish false claims against Clinton originated for Alex. Alex's newest phrase is 'no rest for the wicked.' And that couldn't be a more truer phrase.

disturbing to say the least!


OFF TO THE GREATEST WITH THEE - for important eyes to see! (but I would find it hard to believe they aren't moving in on the evil bastard already)
:kick: :kick: :kick:


I posted a video of him talking about how the cops say he was a threat to law enforcement and society, then added in his insane rantings against Gays and President Obama and saying how Obama, "prayerfully", will have his teeth broken in his sleep and die like a salted snail! I said in one of my posts about this that I feared one of his idiot minions would hear his call like he was commanding them from God to do His will and kill our president! Well LOOKEY HERE - BROUGHTON'S FROM HIS CHURCH! This should be on all the channel's tonight!!!!!


MY GOD, THEY NEED TO GET ANDERSON NOW....



here's the video excerpts of his sermon where he says he hates Obama and prays for his death, brace yourself and your volume before watching! - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hcLMfBflww

3. "Chris", in the radio show interview, complains about the
"internal checkpoints" set up in Gila Bend, AZ.

I live near Tombstone, AZ. There is a checkpoint on State Highway 80, about a mile or so north of Tombstone. Every time I travel to Tombstone, or to Sierra Vista, I have to go through the Border Patrol Checkpoint.

They are set up to catch mules bringing illegals from the border. The "Patriot Act" authorized the Border Patrol to set up these internal checkpoints (within 150 miles of a border, I believe). They are annoying, but I've never heard of anyone getting "beat up" by one. Contrary to the assertion of Mr. Jones, they do not "wave on" illegals (or anyone for that matter) and harass "good 'muricans". They simply ask if you are a US citizen. If you answer yes and you don't have a van load of Hispanic people with you, that's it. If you say "no" or any other answer, they probably ask you to produce some sort of ID. They might ask you to step out while they search your vehicle. I don't know really. Now, I will say that I've been behind a pickup truck with a tarp over the bed... and when it got near the checkpoint, an amazing number of people jumped out from under the tarp and made a foot race for the fields, with a lot of Border Patrol officers chasing them down. Really, it looked like a clown car at the circus.

The basic border problem (that was here before) is that illegals would drive up to the fence (which was just a barb wire affair before the wall) hop over and walk a few hundred yards, and someone would pick them up (the "coyote") and drive them to LA or Phoenix or where ever. The inside checkpoints are there to help stop this practice (with one unintended consequence that more and more illegals now hike miles through the Sonoran desert to get by these new checkpoints, where they can die in the summer heat).

But IF these assholes were going to take guns to town hall meetings to protest the inside checkpoints, why the hell didn't they do it when Bush was in office (it's his rules and his "Patriot Act")??? Why didn't they take their AR-15s to Bush events? (too chickenshit).

Yeah, I don't like the checkpoints either. But I don't think they are there because of some plot by Obama to arrest everyone that doesn't have the correct "papers" (though I could believe it of "W").

And notice in the first radio interview, before "Chris" heads down to the event, what they ask him... "are you going to water the tree of liberty?" Another reference to that quote of Thomas Jefferson (taken out of context by the whackjobs on the extreme right). Just like the other gun toting asshole. Just like Tim McVeigh.

These people (right wing whack jobs) are gearing up to make the attempt. Maybe not today, but soon. Mark my words.

5. If you don't like this kind of preaching get out.......only men speak in this church ???!!!

That Anderson fellow is extremely angry intolerant
and dangerous.

Abort the President means assassination whether
he disavows any intention he is openly encouraging
someone to assassinate Obama.

6. Here's the Crooks & Liars article on MSNBC's Contessa Brewer's Report
Edited on Thu Aug-27-09 04:10 AM by Turborama
http://crooksandliars.com/david-neiwert/reportage-youll-never-see-fox-msnbcs">Reportage you'll never see on Fox: MSNBC's Contessa Brewer explores extremist rhetoric and right-wing violence

By David Neiwert

Yesterday MSNBC's Contessa Brewer tackled the rantings of Pastor Steven Anderson down at his strip-mall church in Tempe, Arizona, and examined the common-sense connection between this kind of hate-filled rhetoric and the people bringing guns to events featuring President Obama, as well as the various acts of domestic terrorism and right-wing violence that have accompanied the rise in this kind of talk.

The segment featured Evan Kohlmann, an NBC terrorism analyst, who remarked:

Kohlmann: Yeah, it's amazing that this kind of rhetoric is allowed if you're a certain kind of person, if you're a patriotic American you can say whatever you want, no matter how far along the line it comes to inciting people to violence towards other innocent people. It's completely unjustified.

But but but but ... doesn't Kohlmann know there is no connection whatsoever between the people who fill crazy people's heads with crazy, provably false ideas and the violent and insane actions that follow? http://crooksandliars.com/david-neiwert/right-wings-are-always-eager-dismiss">That's what you always hear from the right-wing pundits at Fox, at least.

Which is why you'll never see this subject discussed at Fox -- except, perhaps, in dismissive tones designed to make excuses whenever the violence does inevitably erupt.

From: http://crooksandliars.com/david-neiwert/reportage-youll-never-see-fox-msnbcs

The video of the segment: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=385x359102

And, in case you missed it...

8. What in the hell??
Why are people being allowed to promote a "death to the President" message and be so openly public about it?? If anyone would have behaved like that during the Bush/Cheney regime, they'd have found themselves on Rendition Airlines with a one way ticket to an interrogation camp. I sincerely hope the Secret Service and the NSA are completely up to speed on these lunatics! It's time to start putting a lid on some of this madness.

10. Do a sweeping roundup of all who make threats.
A Federal Grand Jury has indicted a resident of Spokane, Washington for allegedly threatening to kill an
abortion Doctor. I am glad to know something is being done somewhere to put a stop to these lunatics. I
wonder why nothing is being done about lunatics such as Anderson inciting the assassination of President
Obama. Anderson, Chris and all the others who have threatened the POTUS should be put in jail. Unless they
are just waiting for something to happen. I sure hope I'm wrong.

He's become very interested in this subject, very concerned about the possibility of some of these idiots doing the unthinkable.

14. OK, What do you guys think I should do with this?
When they come to the surface like this, should they be on some sort of watch list?
