In 1923, Hitler decided to take over the government of the State of Bavaria by force. He waited until the government was gathered for a speech by a high government official. At that point, Hitler acted.
He invaded the hall and simply took over. He shouted, “The national revolution has broken out! The hall is filled with six hundred men. Nobody is allowed to leave. The Bavarian government and the government at Berlin are deposed. A new government will be formed at once. The barracks of the Reichswehr and those of the police are occupied. Both have rallied to the swastika.” (of course, it was in German). He made empty threats (a machine gun in the balcony).
After a day, the coup collapsed when the legitimate government refused to go along with his blackmail. He was captured, tried, and put in jail for a 5 year sentence.
That is what we have today. The right wing wacks, driven insane by their belief that Obama was born in Kenya and that he is a socialist, are mounting a series of unconstitutional attacks on the government that was elected by the people of the United States. They are doing exactly what Hitler did – attempting to circumvent the duly elected and constitutionally empowered government by mass action, shouting, and organized thugs.
We need arrests for treason here.
Whatever.
who are people committing treason?
The people who are funding and organizing the increasingly violent actions around the country are the traitors. Authoritarian yokels may occasionally riot here and there, but they do not establish coordinated nationwide activity without people with brains, money, and substantial organizational skills.
I expect that a copy of Rupert Murdoch’s phone and email records would provide a fairly comprehensive list of suspects worthy of attention from the Department of Justice.
Actually they don’t have the guts to attempt a real putsch, but they love to talk about why someone else should try it.
