I reccomend also clicking on the Veterans Today link.

Friends, some former Ron Paul supporters are now being courted by "radicals" stressing a new revolution of working class Americans against Obama and his big business supporters.  www.resistnet.org is one of their biggest voices.  In truth, our heroic gun totin' woodsmen are actually following Washington DC public relations firm Shirley & Bannister public affairs, a front group for the Bush family and the insurance industry.

1. Thanks...

and how utterly unsurprising re: the PR firm.

[tabatha]

2. Yes, the reason that Bush is keeping his mouth shut ---

they are getting others to do their dirty work.

4. Bush II was never more than a puppet for these people -

among whom Bush I figures very prominently.

W is keeping silent because he's been TOLD to keep silent.

[tabatha]

7. Yes, he is also too embarrassing.

[RaleighNCDUer]

15. True. It is SOOOO embarassing to try to portray yourself as Darth Vader

and having everyone see you as Dark Helmet.

3. Not doubting Mr.Duffs word

but at the link but all I saw was an opinion piece. Sure would be nice if he cited some source for his info other than his link to “Source watch” which provided a semi Wiki on the PR firm “Shirley & Banister Public Affairs” right under their big red Donate sign.

8. I hit a dead end there too.

Shirley & Banister Public Affairs appears to be a propaganda firm, a distributor of slanted news articles.

[ohheckyeah]

9. The article was pretty lacking in details, wasn't it? n/t

6. These people fail at conservative principles.

Big government. Draconian / Fascist anti-terror laws. Using the world as our playground until we run out of money. Debunked idiotic economic policies. Ignoring Adam Smith. Waving guns around and calling everybody who doesn't goosestep to their principals "Liberals."

Absolute fail.

11. snippet from the article (to the greatest page)

' Friends, some former Ron Paul supporters are now being courted by "radicals" stressing a new revolution of working class Americans against Obama and his big business supporters. www.resistnet.com is one of their biggest voices. In truth, our heroic gun totin' woodsmen are actually following Washington DC public relations firm Shirley & Bannister public affairs, a front group for the Bush family and the insurance industry.

The "tough guys" being organized into Milita units to march on Washington DC are being led by a front group funded by Westinghouse Corporation, Prudential Insurance, AETNA Insurance, the DuPont family, the Forbes family, McDonald Douglas, nuclear power plant builders and about a hundred groups made up of Washington lawyers and lobbyists.

What an embarassment. Organizing all of this "libertarian protest" is the biggest client of all, The Republican National Committee. The secret is out, you've been had, duped, snookered and suckered.'

wow. they fell for the whole thing.

[janx]

13. Thank you!

As I suspected, it's an RNC operation.

[Mari333]

16. my brother attends these things and hes on my facebook page

so i posted it on there. he will not like this.

12. a front group for the Bush family and the insurance industry - where's the evidence?
