Yesterday I noted that we had many hits on this year-old post on Mark Potok of the Southern Poverty Law Center. Last night I learned why as I turned on O’Reilly for a few minutes while folding clothes and realized he had Potok on the night before. Potok was singling out the Oath Keepers and suggesting they were s a virulent group of militia types.
I know this is getting far afield from refugees, but I was interested to see that O’Reilly looked pretty inept and uneducated in his interview with the Oath Keepers Yale Law School-educated leader, Stewert Rhodes, last night. O’Reilly suggested that it is just fine and dandy that the government should take away “everyone’s” guns in a weather emergency. See Gateway Pundit for the full story and clip of the show, here. If, O’Reilly keeps this up his number one position on cable shows will be in jeopardy.
As the power of grassroots conservatives increases through Tea Parties and groups like Oath Keepers, Potok and the Southern Poverty Law Center-types are getting more and more desperate and are resorting to the same old smear campaigns they have always used. The difference now is that people are so angry at government, they have seen the smear tactics one too many times and are not going to be silenced.
