Congressional candidate Stephen Broden (TX-R): Revolution "on the table" if GOP loses

Story here:

WASHINGTON – Republican congressional candidate Stephen Broden stunned his party Thursday, saying he would not rule out violent overthrow of the government if elections did not produce a change in leadership.

In a rambling exchange during a TV interview, Broden, a South Dallas pastor, said a violent uprising "is not the first option," but it is "on the table." That drew a quick denunciation from the head of the Dallas County GOP, who called the remarks "inappropriate."

Broden, a first-time candidate, is challenging veteran incumbent Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson in Dallas' heavily Democratic 30th Congressional District. Johnson's campaign declined to comment on Broden.

In the interview, Brad Watson, political reporter for WFAA-TV (Channel 8), asked Broden about a tea party event last year in Fort Worth in which he described the nation's government as tyrannical.

"We have a constitutional remedy," Broden said then. "And the Framers say if that don't work, revolution."

In reaction, the Dallas Morning News has withdrawn its endorsement of Broden.

Bring it.

I'm named after my greatx2 grandfather who spent the Civil War hanging partisans and burning their farms to the ground.

I have his Army Colt right here.

I'm predicting LIBS setting fire to Dumpsters and breaking storefront windows on Nov 2 after their candidates take a pounding...

I intend to litter with malice aforethought.

I hope his condition precedent fails to materialize, so his hypocrisy be fully revealed.

Fantastic, because Civil War uniforms were the best.

Knob Creek Machine Gun shoot. That is all I will say.

Case closed.

'Course, Dems never speak of armed rebellion.

Fuck uniforms, I want full battle armour.

 

[Recidiva]

I'm pretty much a moderate, but I can shoot straight and I'm armed and (if someone attempts violent overthrow) highly motivated.

Plus the army would likely be on my side. So go me.

Don't forget burning cars and stoning the police, another LIB trademark.

I've seen some Contards on this board argue the contrary. Seriously.

That's fine. If their skill in battle is on par with their intellectual skills, I like my odds.

Their ability to complain or scream at relatively tiny wounds will work for me.

If their physical tolerance for pain is the equivalent of their mental tolerance for opposing viewpoints, all I have to inflict is a slight hangnail to them and they'll die screaming.

You go on and keep thinking that.

Seriously, your hand doesn't get that close to my head.

Think what you want, but I've got a personal bubble and I will defend it.

I don't know where that hand's been, I don't wanna know.

I was at the gun range last month and all the equipment is oiled and cleaned and in deadly working order.

Cripes, who's the screaming baby now?

I'm not screaming, I'm saying don't pat me on my head.

Shouldn't be hard now that you know. Should have been obvious in the first place. Your hand in my affairs, not welcome.

Nice Uniform.

Nice Form.

A KS Twofer....I couldn't decide.

So much for liberal tolerance.

I might tolerate your ideas. Then I won't shoot. It's cool you think it if you disagree with me. I can live in "agree to disagree" land with that, as long as I'm allowed to have my ideas, which (yay!) I am.

Putting hands on me in condescension (or any other purpose) isn't the same thing.

Nor is an armed revolt threatening life and limb of political opponents. A politician who recommends armed revolt doesn't deserve my respect. Nor does he deserve his office.

You don't get my respect, but you can coexist and I won't try to shoot first. If I'm in the position of shooting second, though, I'll shoot to kill.

Moderate tolerance doesn't preclude the moderate being able to shoot straight when provoked.

Can I get you a larger shovel? You seem to love digging yourself a deeper and deeper hole.

Essentially what this guy is saying:

"Waaaaaaaaaah! If we don't win I am going to commit treason! Waaaaaaaahhhhhh!"

Oh yeah, I would vote for this guy. Alot of respect for democracy & for legal process he has.
