The Obama Coup: The Online Game

Seems someone had the H1N1 and mistook the fever dream for a "vision". Not that the crazies haven't thrown this stuff around before.

In the game's scenario, 20 million armed American "patriots" begin seizing local and federal government offices. These are the same people whose earlier Tea Party protests had been ignored and dismissed by the mainstream media. Now, they post bounties for government employees. There's fighting in every state. Meanwhile, Lou Dobbs has been disappeared, and Glenn Beck has been found dead of an "aspirin overdose." Rush Limbaugh, Michelle Malkin, Sean Hannity, and Bill O'Reilly have been rounded up, and Fox News forcibly shut down.

The website notes that this rudimentary World of Warcraft-type multiplayer game—titled "2011 Obama's Coup Fails"—is merely "an action-packed, satire-filled" entertainment. But it does say, "If current events keep transpiring as they are, then 2011 Obama's Coup may in fact become a dark chapter in American History."

Note- NewsMax takes down column pushing military coup against Obama

Too chicken shit to take the heat it seems. Gotta covered it here, Rachel at TPM caught it.

Newsmax: Military coup "to resolve the 'Obama problem' " is not "unrealistic"

By GottaLaff

What was that again about how Rushpublics aren't violent (hint: A military coup is not non-violent)?

From John L. Perry's September 29 Newsmax column:

There is a remote, although gaining, possibility America's military will intervene as a last resort to resolve the "Obama problem." Don't dismiss it as unrealistic.

America isn't the Third World. If a military coup does occur here it will be civilized. That it has never happened doesn't mean it wont. Describing what may be afoot is not to advocate it.

[...]

Military intervention is what Obama's exponentially accelerating agenda for "fundamental change" toward a Marxist state is inviting upon America. A coup is not an ideal option, but Obama's radical ideal is not acceptable or reversible.

Unthinkable? Then think up an alternative, non-violent solution to the Obama problem. Just don't shrug and say, "We can always worry about that later."

There's more at Media Matters.

And I got slammed by wingers for reporting a Facebook poll about killing Obama to the Secret Service... Yeah, I was really being an alarmist, wasn't I?

My original story is here. The sequel in which I discuss the Secret Service's call back to me here.

Obama denounces Honduras ouster as 'not legal'

An army sniper in full cammo gear lies on the ready by the dais from where Honduran President Manuel Zelaya delivers a speech June 8, 2009 in Tegucigalpa, during the farewell ceremony for the Honduran unit to be deployed to Lebanon with the Spanish contingent. Several snipers kept a perimeter around Zelaya after a rumor of an possible coup d'etat spread during the weekend.

Fast forward 3 weeks:

President Obama has nothing on his plate, nothing at all. Sigh.

Add these developments to his To Do List:

Saying the U.S. does "not want to go back to a dark past," President Obama said Monday that the military ouster of President Manuel Zelaya was "not legal."

Meeting with Colombian President Alvaro Uribe in the Oval Office, Obama said the two men has discussed the coup and "all of us have great concerns." [...]

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Monday that the U.S. believes the situation in Honduras "has evolved into a coup." [...]

Obama responded to the event Sunday in a statement. "I am deeply concerned by reports coming out of Honduras regarding the detention and expulsion of President Mel Zelaya," Obama said. "As the Organization of American States did on Friday, I call on all political and social actors in Honduras to respect democratic norms, the rule of law and the tenets of the Inter-American Democratic Charter. Any existing tensions and disputes must be resolved peacefully through dialogue free from any outside interference."

Clinton said in a Sunday statement that Zelaya's expulsion "should be condemned by all."

VIDEO-- Hannity's America: What kind of revolution appeals most to you?

Here is what Keith Olbermann is talking about in Worst Persons:

There's a lot of talk on this board about armed revolt. I am curious what form of such a revolt the revolutionaries would prefer. I can see a few scenarios:

1. Military Coup - The military deposes the government and declares itself in charge. A junta rules until democracy can be restored, similar to what happened in Pakistan.

2. Armed Rebellion - The fed up civilian population attacks their enemies forcibly. They take to the streets, or wherever they need to go, to ultimately depose the government and install one that follows their own ideals.

3. War for secession - Individual states try to secede and perhaps ultimately must arm to do it.

[...]

Yet it seems that the ultimate paradox in any rebellion for freedom from within is that the ultimate goal is to impose the will of the rebels on everyone else through force. It seems the very foundation of representative democracy is ****tered if we accept that we exchange the the power of ideas for the power of the sword upon each other.

Nevertheless, I am still very interested in your own preferred form of revolt.

Go read the whole thing, I left out a lot. Call me crazy, but to me, this falls under the category of inciting violence. Looks like Gramm-pa McCain and Limelight Palin really got the ol' ball-o'-hate rollin', eh?

UPDATE: I've added the Countdown video and changed the blog title to reflect that.
