These people are just effing crazy.
Thousands in South Carolina receive menacing Confederate flag robocall over Independence Day weekend
A group called the "Conservative Response Team" has launched a robocall effort, sending a hateful and threatening message to thousands of people in South Carolina with regards to upcoming discussions of removing the Confederate Flag from statehouse property.
And yes - I am not making this up - they mention the friggin Dukes of Hazzard.
“Just like ISIS, Obama’s haters want our monuments down, graves dug up and school, roads, towns and counties renamed. They’ve even taken ‘Dukes of Hazzard’ off TV,” the recording says. “Whats’s next? This attack on our values is sick and un-American and it has to stop right here and right now in South Carolina.”
Like a lot of wingnuts, they think they are some military junta and speak in half-assed military-styled lingo:
“We believe in a scorched earth policy towards the left — the same policy they have towards us,” the group posted
Here' there 'facebook communique"
COMMUNIQUE #1: The Conservative Response Team today dropped nearly 40,000 robocalls into 26 House Districts throughout South Carolina and started radio ads aimed at urging Speaker Jay Lucas to stand up to those who want the flag down. Radio ads in the Pee Dee will continue throughout the weekend and there will be additional robocalls next week. We will begin running radio ads aimed at the 25 other members starting Tuesday, unless these members make a public and unequivocal statement by 1 pm Monday, July 6th that they will support keeping the Confederate Memorial in its rightful place of honor outside the State House.

They also use a picture of people in helicopters with rifles as their Facebook profile pic: Many people would probably consider that a threat of some vague nature.
That is their intent: to threaten and COERCE people and politicians into keeping the Racist Flag 'where it belongs". And I think that borders on terrorism.
Video recording of the call over the flip.
Do go take a gander at their lame-ass facebook post: some great responses over there.
Really, these people are NUTS and I believe they are dangerous. They are so fixated on this flag crap and these are also foamy-mouthed gun nuts: it is a dangerous and volatile mix: Stupid, angry, uncreative, backwards, well-armed racist gasbags.
Have a nice day.
