The leader of a large right-wing militia group told followers to skip a planned rally in Portland, Oregon, on Saturday, saying that organizers hadn’t properly kept white nationalists away from the event and that attendees could face legal consequences.
Heard of the “rat race”? How about the “rat rush” (from sinking ship) phenomenon? It’s about time these bastards got scared of their own shadow and started slinking away back down into the sewers and gutters from which they emerged in response to Current Occupant’s clarion call.
In a statement on his group’s website, Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes said he owed it to his membership to disavow the so-called “End Domestic Terrorism” rally, where attendees will demand that anti-fascists, or “antifa,” be labeled a terrorist group.
Yep. Them Oath Keepers love them some fascism! Creating a fascist state is essentially what that group is all about.
Driving home from my winery workplace yesterday I saw an inordinate number of pick’em up trucks torturing the American Flag. The shit-kickers are aching for a rumble and I’ve no doubt it will come down here tomorrow.
Mr. Rhodes seems to be suffering from some strange delusion that tells him a large percentage of white nationalists are not already involved in his organization.
The only ones afraid of “Antifa” are the Fascists and assorted racists… so for such an anti-antifa event keeping out the White Nationalists would mean no event at all.
Oath Keepers like to be under the national radar, they are more geared towards bullying local governments, business and activist. They seem to hate the national spotlight. They pretty much have been issuing these do not attend notices since Charlottesville all in the name of ‘not looking bad’.
My favorite one I saw was about a year and a half ago when they told members not to attend a full on nazi rally because ‘if you’re seen marching in nazi gear or with nazi’s we’ll look bad’. Which of course begs the question, if you have to constantly badger your members not to march with nazis… perhaps your members are a bunch of nazis…
