You Can’t Make this Stuff Up.

Filed in National by on May 6, 2010

If the Teabaggers / Birthers did not exist, only a drugged out Hollywood writer could dream them up, and then no one would buy the script since it would be too fictional, even for Hollywood. And you wonder why I have absolutely NO respect for anyone in anyway associated with the Teabaggers / Birthers, and you also wonder why I say they are all just two bit terrorists in waiting.

Check this out:

First, a Tennessee man was arrested after walking into his local county courthouse to try to effect a citizen’s arrest of a grand jury foreman who had refused to investigate President Obama’s legitimacy to serve — an encounter partially caught on video. That enraged one Georgia-based member of the far-right OathKeepers group. Responding to a call from an extremist leader, he drove to Tennessee with an AK-47 in a bid to get his comrade released — only to wind up getting arrested himself.

The bizarre sequence of events began on April 1, when Walter Fitzpatrick walked into the Monroe county courthouse in Madisonville, Tenn., and approached Grand Jury foreman Gary Pettway. “I’m charging you with official misconduct,” Fitzpatrick calmly told Pettway. “I’m placing you under arrest. You must now come with me.”

Why was Pettway targeted? Fitzpatrick, a retired Navy commander, is a leading member of the American Grand Jury (AGJ), which seeks to convene a grand jury of citizens to indict President Obama for treason, on the grounds that he’s not a natural-born U.S. citizen. Fitzpatrick had previously tried unsuccessfully to get Pettway, an African-American, to convene a grand jury to investigate charges of voter fraud in connection with President Obama’s election, according to an online account written by Carl Swensson, another AGJ leader. In response, AGJ accused Pettway of violating state laws governing the length of time that a grand jury foreman can serve — giving Fitzpatrick the basis for his attempted citizens arrest.

Predictably, Pettway did not agree to be arrested by Fitzpatrick, and it was Fitzpatrick himself who was arrested and jailed for several days. […]

Swensson said he planned to go to the courthouse and ask for Fitzpatrick’s release and for the arrest of those involved, and he urged listeners to join him “in mass”. “Get down there, get him out of jail, and make sure that justice is served,” Swensson exhorted his followers.

A number of people responded to Swensson’s call. One was Darren Huff, a former U.S. Naval officer from Georgia who is a member of the Oath Keepers, the fast-growing group of former military and law enforcement personnel stoking fears that the federal government plans to confiscate guns and to round up American citizens and place them in concentration camps (their motto: “Not on our watch”). On the day last month that Fitzpatrick was set to face trial, Huff got in his truck — emblazoned with the Oath Keepers logo on the side — and drove to Monroe County with a Colt. 45 and an AK-47. […]

Huff was subsequently arrested as well. Be sure to go to the TPM article and watch the videos.

    The Wa-Po has an article this morning about Homo Sapiens mating with Neanderthals. That must be the gene pool that has spawned these people. They are harkening back to their Neanderthal roots.
