Teaparty Says Nothing Wrong with Guns at Political Rallies On January 10, 2011, in Politics, by Ezra Grant Some peo ple just don’t get it, either because they’re stu pid, or because the want to appear stu pid. But in either case, they come across as just plane stu pid, and in this case, a liar too! That was exactly how Jason Phillips, founder of the Tea party Nation appeared, when he was inter viewed today on Chris Matthews show on MSNBC. When Mr. Phillips was asked if he believed guns should be brought to a polit i cal rally, Mr. Phillips first claimed ” I haven’t seen any” at the polit i cal rallys he’s gone too. Chris con tin ued ques tion ing and point ing out how stu pid Phillips’ argu ment was, then the ques tion was asked again, “do you believe guns should be brought to a polit i cal rally.” Forget ting what he said a few moments ago Phillips responded; I was at a polit i cal rally in Ari zona a few months ago. Peo ple openly carry out there and I felt per fectly safe! I wasn’t wor ried in the least! Mean while, six peo ple died less than 48 hours ago, and a con gress woman is fight ing for her life. Some one brought a gun to a polit i cal event in a super mar ket. Mr. Jason Phillips, founder of the Tea party Nation, saw noth ing wrong this scenario.

Michigan Militia plans ‘open carry’ gun tea party to ‘take the stigma out of the word militia.’ By Lee Fang on Apr 5, 2010 at 6:25 pm This Saturday, on April 10, the Michigan Militia plans to host a tea party “open carry” gun rally. The Militia, which is a successor to the violent anti-government Michigan Militias of the mid-’90s, has come under criticism since the FBI raids of the Hutaree, a Michigan-based Christian militia that had planned to murder police officers. The Michigan Militia cooperated with the FBI to arrest the Hutaree and claimed that although they “had occasional contacts with the Hutaree militia,” they “had never trained with them.” Mike Lackomar, a spokesman for the militia, defended the planned “open carry” rally and again tried to distance himself from the Hutaree: “This event primarily tries to take the stigma out of the word ‘militia,’ and provide information on what we are and who we are,” Lackomar said. “It lets people meet us and see what we’re all about.” [...] “I want it to be perfectly clear,” Lackomar said. “(The Hutaree) are not us, and we are not them, and we did not agree with their philosophy.” However, according to their own website, the Michigan Militia boasts of being joined by their “friends” in the Hutaree shortly before leaving their training session to eat fajitas back in 2007. In a photo gallery published by the Michigan Militia in 2008 (now deleted), they posted pictures of the Hutaree with the caption: “Like ghosts through the woods, The Hutaree close on their objective.” The tea parties, anti-government militia groups, and far right elements of the Republican Party are slowly merging. Gun right advocates are planning rallies on the 15th anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing around the country, with even Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli (R) slated to speak at one of the events.
