Combines the right wing's fetish for all things "soldier" and their dreams of violent takeover.....sick sick sick.

1. I agree, very disturbing. K&R

[patrice]

2. I know someones on this particular drug. Using the word "doom" a lot. Why do they hate America?

I'm so very sorry that I have to say that I think the answer to that question is that they are possibly too stupid to love it for what it is, instead of the FICTION that they think they want it to be. One of them even calls himself a Democrat.

Have you ever tried to get any of these people to walk through any kind of hypothetical scenario for their proposed course(s) of action? They haven't thought any of it out one GOD DAMNED bit. They just say shit that includes enormous leaps in logic and chronology and probabilities and expect all of us to sign-up.

I'm noticing that some go under the moniker of being Constitutionalists, but they are actually ANTI-Constitution in their proposals. Is that Sedition?

If your goals are of primary value, you DO NOT achieve your goals by threats, profound ugliness, and violence, such proposals REVEAL that you are lying about what your goals are, because VIOLENCE DOES NOT WORK. It in fact insures that the opposite of what you SAY you want to happen, but then maybe that IS the real objective in the first place.

3. I'm thinking whoever made this photoshop needs a Secret Service visit

Pretty graphic and disturbing exhortation for violence towards EVERYONE who lives and works in the WH.

8. Waste of SS time

This POS art work means nothing.

[GoCubsGo]

16. If this was aimed at a repug President...

...most likely the author would have gotten a visit. Or, at least would have been watched real closely.

[CrispyQ]

4. They got the flag & the uniforms wrong.

Just sayin' The flag should be confederate & the uniforms should be white sheets.

[Robb]

5. I believe they'd find those soldiers facing the other direction.

What idiots.

[Initech]

6. WTF!!!!!! This is damn near treasonous!!

[Meiko]

9. How is it treasonous or even close?

I think we need to get a grip here.

[Initech]

15. Overthrowing our government to get Obama out of office isn't treason?

I've never in my life seen the type of threats and hatred directed at a leader like I have with Obama and this is just going way too far. Republicans are just sick disgusting people and it's all due to AM hate radio and Fux News.

[Meiko]

19. It's just a neo-cons wet dream put to paper.

It has no real context. The blown up tank on the lawn looks like an old Russian T-72. So who are we fighting? Are the soldiers protecting the WH or attacking it. I think I'll do a little research and see what I can dig up.

[kentuck]

20. What do you see in the picture anyway??

Is that the White House? Who do they want to evict? And why?

[Meiko]

26. It would take some assumptions on my part

wouldn't it. There are no names mentioned . There are some insignia present though. The upper most one appears to be the one similiar to what the President used during his campaign. I have no idea what the flags say. I don't have that kind of enhancement software. It depicts a military coup which is unlikely since Obama controls the military. It is directed at the president but is very vague and poorly done. I just don't see a credible threat. If you are truly concerned then forward it to the SS and see what happens.

7. How many black soldiers do you see in the OP?

Have they ever died for this country? That is a racist piece of shit.

[Meiko]

10. How many do you see

The picture is of such poor quality you can't tell what's what. Your eyes must be a lot better than mine.

[GoCubsGo]

13. I see at least one.

And, given that those appear to be WW II uniforms, they are likely ALL black. There were no mixed race units until 1948, when that war was long over.

[kentuck]

14. In the original picture?

I think it was intentional that no African-Americans were visible.

I posted the other photo as a juxtaposition.

[madamesilverspurs]

11. And if some putz decides

this is a good idea and acts on it, they'll say they weren't intending to really do anything. Riiiiiiiight.

27. How are they going to act on whats depicted

You would need a bunch of troops. Planes, tanks, guns of every kind. Like I said it is some neo-cons wet dream.If you are really worried, turn it into the SS.

[spanone]

12. i'm surprised they're not in klan uniforms...FUCK THEM

[Posteritatis]

17. And just a crappy image to boot. I mean, c'mon, lens flares?

Wish I could make out what the three flags in the windows are..

[pinboy3niner]

18. I'm guessing those red things are banners...

...with images of Mao, Stalin and Castro. Something like that.

[kentuck]

21. Red and yellow colors...

Communist.

[SoutherDem]

22. What really bothers me is if we did similar

while a Republican is in office we are terrorist, unpatriotic, and calling for insurrection.

Why do they get away with things like that pic and hanging the president in effigy. When W was in office if we simply didn't agree we were unpatriotic.

[think4yourself]

23. I was just saying

Look how they went apeshit over The Dixie
Chicks saying a few words about *.

And this crowd calls itself American?

[Meiko]

28. I could post my photo file

that I have from the Bush years but I like it here and I am not looking for the ban hammer. Just believe me when I tell you that there is plenty of hate on both side.

[Sea-Dog]

24. god knows why people are getting up set over this

every one knows rightwingers are full of wind and piss

[scheming daemons]

25. Thanks for making it more viral, sheesh...

Think!
