ReTHUGs Continue to Spin the Hutaree Smackdown as Lefty Plot to Embarrass Them.

The Hutaree and MSNBC Militias

A safe first guess on a case like this is that the Feds have just made up another one. The formula is always the same for them: Find a person or a small group of people who are gullible and bordering on criminal, then trick them into saying, or sometimes even doing, something stupid and/or evil. See for example the Miami 7, the Detroit 5, the Lodi 1, the NY 2, the NY 4…

... The funny part is, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow reported Monday, “The FBI had infiltrated the group for several months,” attributing this information to Detroit News 4, though the closest thing this writer can find to that on their Web site is the assertion that “federal authorities had been monitoring the Hutaree members for some time.”

I’m betting Maddow’s interpretation that they had actually been infiltrated is accurate and that the worst of whatever these people actually did was at the urging of said federal agent.

... But anyway…

Over at the Reason blog Brian Doherty caught more liberals cheering on the police state and recommended a great article, “The Paranoid Center,” by Jesse Walker.

So What's the SPIN at the David H. Koch Reason Foundation blog, and it's Paranoid Center?

The Paranoid Center
How the panic over right-wing violence is being used to marginalize peaceful dissent

It turns out the referenced article was an old, 2009, article whitewashing the reichwinger connections of the Holocaust Museum Guard Killing and the George Tiller Murder ten days apart with some gratuitous references to Waco-Koresh-Davidians and Oklahoma City Murrah Bombing.



Hutaree militia arrests and the insidious mainstream interpretation
http://www.examiner.com/x-32940-Arlington-Conservative-Examiner~y2010m3d30-Hutaree-militia-arrests-and-the-insidious-mainstream-interpretation

But the race to define the Tea Party in the most unflattering terms has sadly been taken to a new low with the arrests of the Hutaree militia, where, within the space of 24 hours, the MSM have used the otherwise unrelated Hutaree story as evidence that the Tea Party protesters are part of a radical and dangerous movement.

...

That the Tea Party is being unjustly smeared in the process, by any event at hand, regardless of its connection or relevance, speaks to the lengths that the MSM will go in defense of their chosen path.

It is as sad as it is unworthy of an institution that has for so long been a guard of our Republic, but now gestates as an ignoble mouth piece for a specific government.

Of course "MSM" is reichwinger-speak for everybody who doesn't drink Fox Newz Koolaid, Fox being the 3rd largest news/media conglomerate on the world is not "main stream" or "media" to reichwingers.

Tea Party Hatriots throw Christian Militia Terrorists Under Their Bus

Tea Bagger Hatriot Militia Leader who trained with Hutaree within the past year, now denies that they are Christian or Militia. (Also denies that they were affiliated.)

Group arrested not Christian or militia, insider says
http://www.cnn.com/2010/CRIME/03/30/michigan.militia.arrests/?hpt=Sbin

Members of a militia charged with plotting to kill police were not Christian or a militia, a man acquainted with the group said Tuesday.

"This is a group that I would classify as neither a militia or a Christian group," said Michael Lackomar, a member of the Southeast Michigan Volunteer Militia. "They're really a fringe group outside of anything we do.

"They're more of a private army or a terrorist organization or really just a criminal organization."

You could say the same about all armed Tea Party Hatriots.

Harvard study finds 45,000 deaths annually linked to lack of health coverage

Harvard study finds 45,000 deaths annually linked to lack of health coverage

http://www.harvardscience.harvard.edu/medicine-health/articles/new-study-finds-45000-deaths-annually-linked-lack-health-coverage

Uninsured, working-age Americans have 40 percent higher death risk than privately insured counterparts. September 17, 2009

Nearly 45,000 annual deaths are associated with lack of health insurance, according to a new study published online today by the American Journal of Public Health. That figure is about two and a half times higher than an estimate from the Institute of Medicine (IOM) in 2002.

The study, conducted at Harvard Medical School and Cambridge Health Alliance, found that uninsured, working-age Americans have a 40 percent higher risk of death than their privately insured counterparts, up from a 25 percent excess death rate found in 1993.

“The uninsured have a higher risk of death when compared to the privately insured, even after taking into account socioeconomics, health behaviors, and baseline health,” said lead author Andrew Wilper, M.D., who currently teaches at the University of Washington School of Medicine. “We doctors have many new ways to prevent deaths from hypertension, diabetes, and heart disease — but only if patients can get into our offices and afford their medications.”

The study, which analyzed data from national surveys carried out by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), assessed death rates after taking into account education, income, and many other factors, including smoking, drinking, and obesity. It estimated that lack of health insurance causes 44,789 excess deaths annually.

Previous estimates from the IOM and others had put that figure near 18,000. The methods used in the current study were similar to those employed by the IOM in 2002, which in turn were based on a pioneering 1993 study of health insurance and mortality.

Deaths associated with lack of health insurance now exceed those caused by many common killers such as kidney disease. An increase in the number of uninsured and an eroding medical safety net for the disadvantaged likely explain the substantial increase in the number of deaths, as the uninsured are more likely to go without needed care. Another factor contributing to the widening gap in the risk of death between those who have insurance and those who do not is the improved quality of care for those who can get it.

GOP spent $30,000 on private jets, limos, Sex Clubs just in February!!!

Just what did the Republican National Committee order last month to rack up a $2,000 tab at the West Hollywood bondage club Voyeur?

R.N.C. Spends Thousands on Jets, Limos and Clubs
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/30/us/30gop.html

The Republican National Committee spent about $30,000 in February on private airplanes and limousines. But those charges were overshadowed by the $1,946.25 charge at Voyeur West Hollywood, which was described by The Los Angeles Times last year as a “high-end nightclub” with an interior “reminiscent of the masked orgy scene” from the movie “Eyes Wide Shut.”

... Meanwhile, the F.E.C. filings show some $17,500 spent on private jets in February, in addition to more than $12,500 on limousines, which could add to the perception that Mr. Steele has expensive tastes. The filings also list several charges of well over $1,000 at hotels in Washington and elsewhere.

Coverage Now for Sick Children? Check Fine Print

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/29/health/policy/29health.html

Insurance companies are already arguing that, at least for now, they do not have to provide one of the benefits that the president calls a centerpiece of the law: coverage for certain children with pre-existing conditions.

... Insurers agree that if they provide insurance for a child, they must cover pre-existing conditions. But, they say, the law does not require them to write insurance for the child and it does not guarantee the “availability of coverage” for all until 2014.

...

“The concept that insurance companies would even seek to deny children coverage exemplifies why we fought for this reform,” said Representative Henry A. Waxman, Democrat of California and chairman of the Energy and Commerce Committee.

Senator John D. Rockefeller IV, Democrat of West Virginia and chairman of the Senate commerce committee, said: “The ink has not yet dried on the health care reform bill, and already some deplorable health insurance companies are trying to duck away from covering children with pre-existing conditions. This is outrageous.” ...

ACORN Non-Pimp O’Keefe to Plead Guilty to Misdemeanor

http://chattahbox.com/us/2010/03/27/acorn-non-pimp-okeefe-to-plead-guilty-to-misdemeanor/

James O’Keefe, conservative activist, former ACORN non-pimp and employee of Andrew Brietbart, founder of BigGoverment.com and other right-wing Web sites, has reportedly reached a plea agreement with federal prosecutors, in return for a guilty plea to a misdemeanor. O’Keefe was arrested and charged with a felony of tampering with the telephone system of the New Orleans office of Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-LA), along with three of his co-conspirators.

On Friday, federal persecutors released a bill of information, charging O’Keefe, 25, and his three conservative cohorts, Stan Dai, Joseph Basel and Robert Flanagan, all 24, with a misdemeanor charge of entering a federal building on false pretenses. The new charges carry a penalty of a maximum prison term of six months and a fine of $5,000. A felony charge could have resulted in a prison term of up to 10 years.

The bill of information detailed O’Keefe’s plot:

Tea Party of Nevada candidate Scott Ashjian to face felony charges

http://www.examiner.com/x-21777-Las-Vegas-Democrat-Examiner~y2010m3d28-Tea-Party-of-Nevada-candidate-Scott-Ashjian-to-face-felony-charges

The Clark County District Attorney’s office said it is filling a felony arrest warrant against the Tea Party of Nevada’s candidate for U.S. Senate Mr. Scott Ashjian.

Bernie Zadrowski, head of the Clark County district attorney's office bad check unit, said he would seek an arrest warrant Monday in Las Vegas Justice Court

He is being charged with felony theft and bad check charges in Las Vegas that allege he bounced a $5,000 business check last year.

... Scott Ashjian says he is being set up by the Republican Party, which could be true because they have been fighting tooth and nail to discredit him calling him a fake Tea Party candidate in a fake Tea Party. Other Tea Party groups in Nevada have already denounced his legitimacy

Palin told them "Go ROGUE".

QUOTE: "“Should something violent happen, Republicans know it could further discredit the Tea Party movement, and the conservative outrage that is fueling it, in the eyes of the wider American public. That explains, in part, the preponderance of condemnations now being issued by GOP congressmen, including Boehner, and by grass-roots activists,” reports Fox 31 in Denver, Colorado. ... “These threats are likely coming from rogue, outside sources,” Lesley Hollywood, the director of the Northern Colorado Tea Party, told Fox. The Northern Colorado Tea Party is affiliated with Glenn Beck’s 912 Project."

I would say this is a full confession by FOX NEWZ affiliate, Glenn Beck, Tea Party Hatriots and GOP.

It claims right on the face of it that GOP and Fox have major control over the Tea Party who obediently obeys when orders go out to "cool it" and "rogue elements" still act violently. Palin told them "Go ROGUE".

Federal agents arrested at least seven members of a self-proclaimed Christian militia group in Michigan, Indiana and Ohio over the weekend, according to the FBI and a leader of another militia organization. ... The target of the raid was a group called the Hutaree.

Mike Lackomar, a county leader for the Southeast Michigan Volunteer Militia, said Hutaree members trained with his organization "on a couple of occasions in years past" but stopped about a year ago.

[The Southeast Michigan Volunteer Militia is a member of the TEA PARTY PATRIOTS and therefore the ARRESTED HUTAREE have trained with Tea Party Hatriots within the past year.]
