Nope, there is definitely nothing about a Democratic POTUS that drives redneck Republicans batshit insane. This is just normal. It could happen to any president. I'm sure that crazy white militia guys will be lining up to overthrow and/or assassinate Romney if he wins.
(The "F.E.A.R." group's ringleader worked as a lowly page at the 2008 Republican National Convention. You've come a long way, baby!)
Seriously though, after one Army soldier who was Muslim went nuts at Fort Hood some conservatives were saying we have Muslim jihad inside the U.S. Military. Now that at least five white soldiers in Georgia were plotting genuine treason and mass murder of American civilians, and murdered their own friends to keep it a secret, what will those same anti-Muslim conservatives say, I wonder?
Anyhow, I doubt these conservative jihad-mongers could be in deeper denial than the Army spokesman who stated: "Fort Stewart-Hunter Army Airfield does not have a gang or militia problem." I wonder what does qualify as a "problem" in their book?
And what will gun control opponents say to the fact that these soldiers legally purchased $87,00 worth of semi-automatic assault rifles, other guns, and bomb-making components in preparation to execute their plot? That it was their God-given right to accumulate all those instruments of death? Why am I asking these stupid rhetorical questions when I know all the answers?
Here's the underlying connection between Hassan-Fort Hood and these guys: legal, accessible and deadly firearms. Our inability to "infringe" on the the right of these citizens -- who had no criminal record -- to buy whatever kind of guns, clips and ammo they wanted, thanks to the 2nd Amendment, is outdated and absurd. There is no good reason for anybody to buy them.
