Add Erik Rush to the list of prominent wingnuts calling for a coup against Obama. The WorldNutDaily columnist and frequent Faux News guest is out with a new column that calls for Obama to be overthrown "by any means necessary"--even if they aren't legal.
I have said previously that if a preponderance of Americans suddenly became aware of what I and a few others know (not “believe,” but know), they would stream into our nation’s capital by the millions, concern for personal safety cast aside in light of that which is at stake. They would demand the resignation of those in this administration, as well as many who have facilitated its crimes. Seeing this, these ruling class elites would have no choice but to retreat – or to attempt to forcibly quell the movement. Such action at that point would undoubtedly fail, given the determination of so large and motivated a host.
This administration, much of the Congress, and the creatures who support the same in blissful, belligerent ignorance must be neutralized if this nation is to survive in any semblance of its intended form. And it must be done by any means necessary, because such criminals have proven that they are not dissuaded by trifles like legality. The law, in our President’s estimation, is what he says it is. This has been proven time and again.
So Obama and his cabal, and in all likelihood a substantial segment of Congress must go. We must also extricate the radicals and Islamists whom Obama has so kindly insinuated into high places in our government. And the culture of our government must change. Indeed, it will take some time and sacrifice, but America has never faced a threat such as this. In truth, I don’t think any nation has.
Rush maintains that nothing short of a coup is necessary to pull the country from "the brink of totalitarianism." The best that can be said about this sentiment is that Rush is blind in his right eye. After all, we now know that a substantial element of the GOP deliberately planned to defund Obamacare knowing full well it would cause a shutdown. Tell me how that isn't undemocratic.
Moreover, Rush is the last person to wring his hands about authoritarian excess. Before the 2012 election, he claimed that the first priority for a Romney administration should have been to arrest Democrats and journalists for treason--a claim that he reiterated back in July. In the aftermath of the Boston Marathon bombings, he called for all Muslims to be lined up and shot.
I really have to wonder--what does it say about Faux News and WorldNutDaily that this guy is still associated with them?
3:21 PM PT: Since this made the rec list, I thought I'd mention that Rush was kind enough to enable Facebook for comments. Head over there and let him have it.
