Oath Keepers leader slams right wing media figures

[ck4829]

“I’m not sure where he’s at, he kinda jumps around,” Stewart Rhodes said of Beck. “He was, early on during the Ron Paul campaign, horrible to Ron Paul. He even suggested that some of his followers were potential domestic terrorists and wanted to use the military against them. So, he seems kind of erratic.”

“I think, some of the things he’s been saying lately, I would agree with,” he continued. “But, I’m always skeptical of someone who is erratic and not very consistent.”

“Go back into the Bush years,” he continued. “I didn’t see him being very outspoken against Bush, so that would be my biggest beef with him. You won’t find that from me. I challenge anyone to go back and find me saying anything good about President Bush.”

Rhodes added: “That’s the problem with people like Michelle Malkin, and apparently Glenn Beck — and Rush Limbaugh is in the same camp — during the Bush administration, you didn’t hear a peep out of them about, oh, the president is overstepping constitutional boundaries, he’s endangering the country, this stuff is unconstitutional. I didn’t hear anything like that from those people.”

“In fact, (it was) quite the opposite,” he said. “Michelle Malkin was running around arguing why the internment of Japanese Americans was proper and necessary, (like) they were really dangerous people. You know, (she was) laying the groundwork, overtly, for interning Arab Americans.”

“Apparently Glenn Beck is the same way,” Rhodes concluded. “He was kissing Bush’s booty and now he’s counting his change… It’s all complete hypocrisy… Even Rush Limbaugh admitted that he was just carrying their water.”

Uh oh, Republicans, it looks like your plans for a militant wing for the GOP is starting to evaporate.

6. Hmm... whom does that remind me of?

“That’s the problem with people like Michelle Malkin, and apparently Glenn Beck — and Rush Limbaugh is in the same camp — during the Bush administration, you didn’t hear a peep out of them about, oh, the president is overstepping constitutional boundaries, he’s endangering the country, this stuff is unconstitutional. I didn’t hear anything like that from those people.”

7. It's hard to count on a group of people who are completely incoherent.

Gary Trudeau has been getting a lot of mileage pointing out how completely incoherent these people are.

8. Well, what this Oath Keeper is

saying, how could anyone realistically come to any other conclusion. It's way past time that someone gave Beck and the propagandists just a wee bit of an evaluation. Don't you think?
