KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Prosecutors described a frightening standoff at a Tennessee courthouse between law enforcement and an armed man who vowed to take it over in his quest to oust President Barack Obama. The man's attorney said he was just a "loudmouth" expressing his political opinions.

The defense didn't work for Darren Wesley Huff, who was convicted Tuesday on a federal firearms charge that could send him to prison for up to five years.

Huff, 41, was armed with a Colt .45 and an assault rifle on April 20, 2010, when he and about 15 others, some also armed, arrived in Madisonville, a small town about halfway between Knoxville and Chattanooga.

About 100 law enforcement officers also were there because Huff had told an FBI agent who visited his home in Dallas, Ga., and police who stopped him for a traffic violation in Tennessee that he was prepared to help take over the Monroe County Courthouse if necessary.

1. Everyone knows that the way to topple the POTUS is to take a gun to a county

courthouse in Tennessee (not even a federal courthouse in Tennessee).

Provided, of course, that you first alert not one, but two sets of cops that you are going to do that.

This is a brilliant plan, guaranted to work like a charm!

BTW, who is going to try this strategic genius for treason? "Topple" our head of state by using firearms? And he is facing only up to five years? Are you kidding me?

3. Darren Wesley Huff sounds like a real bright boy.

Typical rural Republican -dummy.

4. well, now he knows that "being a loudmouth just expressing his opinions"

is not a successful defense.

talking smack is being a loudmouth. Bringing guns into a courthouse, in collusion with 15 other miscreants, is a whole 'nother thing altogether.

5. We might roll our eyes and mock birthers but

keeping this going (Trump, Perry) isn't the least bit funny. It's dangerous. From the link:
<snip> "Every one of you all may think he (Huff) and his ilk are kooky as all get out," defense attorney Scott Green told jurors at the beginning of the trial last week. He said his client was a "loudmouth" but "not the scary guy they have been trying to paint." <snip>
But Huff's inspiration was yet another birther, Walter Fitzpatrick, who called the local officials "domestic enemies" and Obama an "illegal alien, infiltrator and impostor." Huff said in the police video that he and others were ready to help carry out the citizen's arrests Fitzpatrick wanted. "I've got my .45 because ain't no government official gonna go peacefully." Defense attorney Green quoted former New York City Mayor John V. Lindsay: "Those who suppress freedom always do so in the name of law and order."

6. What was this guy expecting?

He'd get to the courthouse, he'd shoot his way in, aim at the judge deciding ANY case having to do with Obama (even indirectly), and the judge would write his decision as Huff would dictate it, it would become established law, and this country would start in a new direction?

7. As Mister Huff can now attest

being a moron is not as easy as some might think.

Except of course, he may not realize it.
