Neo-Nazi groups take up arms in Arizona to combat illegal immigration


Nazis are patrolling the Arizona border.

With violence raging across the border in Mexico and Arizona’s anti-immigration legislation stirring controversy in the state, militias with neo-Nazi ties have taken up arms and are patrolling the border in search of “narco-terrorists” and illegal immigrants.

Jason "J.T." Ready, who is tied to the white supremacist National Socialist Movement, has organized an armed militia to patrol the border and kill or capture immigrants trying to escape into the United States.

"We're not going to sit around and wait for the government anymore," Ready told the AP. "This is what our founding fathers did."

But local authorities are concerned about Ready’s motives, particularly because of his ties to the National Socialist Movement, an organization devoted to "preservation of our European culture and heritage” and the “promotion of white separation."

"These are explicit Nazis," said Mark Potok of the Southern Poverty Law Center said about the group. "These are people who wear swastikas on their sleeves."

The National Socialist Movement is also on the front lines of the border fight. The website, resplendent with Swastika symbols, features video of supremacy marches through Southern towns set to a soundtrack of white power punk rock.

The neo-Nazi site also posts "after-action reports" of their own vigilante border activities in Arizona and California.

The reports read like a cross between a CIA spy novel and a Scooby Doo mystery:

"We discovered two sets of prints, a cigarette, and beer bottles. We believed the cigarette to have been recently extinguished," the report reads. "We sent a comrade to drive the surrounding roads and even the main highway."

Although the militia groups claim their patrols and weapons are legal, local authorities have voiced disapproval at their actions.

"I'm not inviting them. And in fact, I'd rather they not come," said Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu. "Especially those who espouse hatred or bigotry such as [Ready]."

As for Ready and his group of border enforcers, violence has not been ruled out as a method of enforcement.

"They were bold enough to take up the law enforcement so we’ll see what happens throughout the night," Ready said on a recent patrol.

"We’ll kill them," he added.

Neo-Nazi's need hobbies, too..... I guess.

Either what they are doing is legal, or it isn't. The law down there will sort it out, and if their actions fall outside the law, it'll be taken care of, I'm sure.

Given that, who gives a damn what they think?
It's their mind, they can think what they want.... the law is only concerned with actions.

Hmmm... NEO Nazis vs. Mexican Cartels.... Has the sound of a chep B-Grade movie!

The plot thickens when it's discovered that the Nazis have been secretly funded by the Tea Party and the Cartel is using Dick Cheney's lesbian daughter as a drug mule!

Don't miss the sequel where Obama's REAL BIRTH Nationality is exposed and his people, the ZULU tribe, hunt down and capture Osama Bin Laden who has secretly been hidding in a hole on the Bush Ranch!

Is J.T. Ready associated with the Tea Party in some way?

I believe I read "something" about this guy having ties to the Tea Party or attempting to join forces with the Tea Party...I can't find the article at this time...I will keep looking.

Having this guy and his group involved in the border situation is not good for "anyone". Best thing the Tea Party could do is denounce him and his group, IMO.

Why don't you look it up and see whether or not he is, rather than cast aspersions upon those in the Tea party?

Mac ..... I also must have missed when you denounced the Black Panthers who were let off the hook by the Obama Justice Department.



I will say this ..... any large group will have wackos and idiots who I would never agree with as far as certain parts of their agendas go.

Just because I like the color blue doesn't mean that I agree wholeheartedly with every other person who considers blue their favorite color.

I looked him up and found a blog where a man claims his friend saw him there. I cannot link to since it is a blog and it is also inappropriate for this forum.

The author states it was a rally of about 60 people. That doesn't sound like a typical Tea Party rally.

BTW there was that stupid billboard where Obama was compared to the likes of Stallin, Hitler and Marx. Someone (I think the NAACP) asked for the Tea Party to condem the sign. I was watching Red Eye on Fox and the organizer of the St. Louis area Tea Party did just that. I will try and find a story about it but it might be a little difficult since I only remember her hottness, not her name. I also know it will be hard to find many stories about it since it doesn't fit the agenda of many who write on the net.

Can you connect the dots, or were you just scribbling?

Sad thing is, even if you can find something saying he wanted to be a part of "any" party or group, it doesn't mean the party or group agrees with him.

You use a damn broad brush mac. Damn broad.

Well folks, there it is - he was at a TEA party protest, so obviously the TEA party is racist and unstable.

Just as was everyone that walked by King sallam shabazz or whatever his name was.....the guy that wants to kill police, and krakas, and kraka babies.

Yea, no way a white-supremacist would find himself at home with the TEA Party. Look at how much the TEA Party cares about African-Americans and other ethnicities.

arch...I knew I had seen something about the head of this Neo Nazi group, this JT Ready, being associated with the tea party.

Hey Charlie...thanks for finding it...I can stop looking now...now, maybe the RWers will believe it...

Not only that, but he is also a regular speaker at TEA Party events. But, also, so is Pamela Geller, the anti-arab head of SIOA (Stop Islamization of America).

Interesting read.

How is JT Ready associated with the TEA Party? Is it because he shows up, or is it because the TEA party endorses him?

Huge difference there - and I don't know either way what the answer is.

I will say, go to a dem. OR rep. protest and you see signs that don't reflect the true party.

Go to a black panther party protest and you'll see bad things as well.

Go to a kkk protest and you'll see things/signs that turn your stomach.

I don't know how many have been following the debate between the NAACP and the Tea Party this week but the subject of race and the tea party has been discussed...

The Embarrassing Racist 'Satire' of Tea Party Leader Mark Williams





This week, the NAACP passed a resolution asking Tea Partiers to repudiate racists in their ranks. So, naturally, Tea Party Express spokesman Mark Williams called the NAACP racist on CNN, and then penned an idiotic racist letter on his blog.

Mark Williams! If that name sounds familiar, it's because he was the distinguished scholar who taught us all that Muslims worship a "monkey-god". Though he's no longer the chairman of the deep-pocketed, big-spending Tea Party Express, Williams still acts as a spokesman and "public face" for the organization.

On Thursday, in response to the NAACP's pretty tame resolution asking Tea Partiers to be a little less racist, he took to his blog and Tea Party Expressed the opinion that the real racists, in this situation, are the NAACP. Because they use the word "colored," see. Sigh.

And that's not all! Williams treated his readers to his own little Tale of the Tub—a letter to President Lincoln from NAACP head Ben Jealous that starts thusly:

We Colored People have taken a vote and decided that we don't cotton to that whole emancipation thing. Freedom means having to work for real, think for ourselves, and take consequences along with the rewards. That is just far too much to ask of us Colored People and we demand that it stop!

Is there a word for this? Where one group condemns another group for a behavior, and a member of the condemned group turns around and attempts to repudiate the condemnation by engaging in the very behavior it was condemned for in the first place?


Here's the entire letter:

Dear Mr. Lincoln

We Colored People have taken a vote and decided that we don't cotton to that whole emancipation thing. Freedom means having to work for real, think for ourselves, and take consequences along with the rewards. That is just far too much to ask of us Colored People and we demand that it stop!

In fact we held a big meeting and took a vote in Kansas City this week. We voted to condemn a political revival of that old abolitionist spirit called the 'tea party movement'.

The tea party position to "end the bailouts" for example is just silly. Bailouts are just big money welfare and isn't that what we want all Coloreds to strive for? What kind of racist would want to end big money welfare? What they need to do is start handing the bail outs directly to us coloreds! Of course, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is the only responsible party that should be granted the right to disperse the funds.

And the ridiculous idea of "reduce[ing] the size and intrusiveness of government." What kind of massa would ever not want to control my life? As Coloreds we must have somebody care for us otherwise we would be on our own, have to think for ourselves and make decisions!

The racist tea parties also demand that the government "stop the out of control spending." Again, they directly target Colored People. That means we Colored People would have to compete for jobs like everybody else and that is just not right.

Perhaps the most racist point of all in the tea parties is their demand that government "stop raising our taxes." That is outrageous! How will we Colored People ever get a wide screen TV in every room if non-coloreds get to keep what they earn? Totally racist! The tea party expects coloreds to be productive members of society?

Mr. Lincoln, you were the greatest racist ever. We had a great gig. Three squares, room and board, all our decisions made by the massa in the house. Please repeal the 13th and 14th Amendments and let us get back to where we belong.

Sincerely

Precious Ben Jealous, Tom's Nephew National Association for the Advancement of Colored People Head Colored Person

Tea Party Federation Expels Mark Williams Over 'Offensive' Response To NAACP's Racism Charge

07-18-10


The National Tea Party Federation has expelled conservative commentator and Tea Party Express spokesman Mark Williams over a fictional letter Williams wrote on his blog last week from "Colored People" to Abraham Lincoln.

"We, in the last 24 hours, have expelled Tea Party Express and Mark Williams from the National Tea Party Federation because of the letter that he wrote," federation spokesman David Webb said Sunday on CBS's "Face The Nation."


Williams wrote the blog post, which has since been taken down, in response to a resolution adopted by the NAACP accusing Tea Party leaders of tolerating racism within the movement.

"Dear Mr. Lincoln," began Williams' letter. "We Coloreds have taken a vote and decided that we don't cotton to that whole emancipation thing. Freedom means having to work for real, think for ourselves, and take consequences along with the rewards. That is just far too much to ask of us Colored People and we demand that it stop!"

Webb called the blog post "clearly offensive."

The TEA Party folks have disassociated themselves with Williams stating that he doesn't speak for the group.. now when is the last time that the NAACP asked somebody to step down for all of the idiotic stuff that they say? When is the last time they called Jesse Jackson on the stupid crap that comes out of his mouth? When is the last time they had an opposing opinion to anything Obama has done?

I'm sure there a lot of well meaning, intelligent people within the NAACP who have some good opinions but collectively, as a group, when is the last time they took a stand against one of their own for being stupid? Just curious.

I'm not going to post it all here, but google "New Black Panther Party" or their leader "Malik Zulu Shabazz"

Reading up on what the NBPP is up to (and the favors they are receiving from our Department of Justice) will keep you busy for a while.

Don't know about the "black panther party", but the "new black panther party" exists. Don't know for sure what the guys title is, but he's some sort of leader in the party.

And, he advocates killing cops, killing "crackers", and killing "crackers babies". He's on film advocating such things.

Plus, according to him, he hates "every iota" of crackers. (that's slang for white people). But he doesn't have to worry about prosecution, because our justice department ..........well, they don't have the balls apparently, to prosecute black people.

But, by charlie and mac's reasoning - since a racist showed up at a tea party event - or even many of them - the whole tea party is racist. So, using their logic, since the new black panther party is pro obama, would it be fair to label Obama racist? Would it be fair to say Obama is FOR killing cops, crackers, and cracker babies?

Hell no it's not fair to say that. (p.s. - don't let charlie and mac in on that secret)

mac, you posted that 15 minutes AFTER I posted an article in which the Tea Party renounced the idiot - you do realize that, don't you??????????????

Or do you just not read?

Or not comprehend?

Or, is it that you will stop at nothing to denounce anyone or anything that doesn't obey and heed Obama?

Which is it mac?

If it's none of the above, am I okay to call Obama racist, since the new black panther party supports him, AND, they also support kill cops and white people?

Tell me mac - which is it?

Did you honestly even watch the video? Even before she enters the discussion you have the camera man being pushed and asking not to be touched again...and then getting shoved backwards again. And you think she touched the gentlemen in the back shirt first? You can see the first contact at 1:26, she puts her hand up but does not touch the gentleman at 1:32 at which point he told her to move and apparently pushed her back too.

Sorry - if that guy doesn't get prosecuted, there's something wrong.

I have $50 bucks says he wont' get prosecuted. (I would lay $100 on the line, but with the tax hikes coming in January I don't have it)

Anyone that says the guy was right is racist - towards whites.

Wow. It seems pretty clear the she just puts her hand up. She was pushed before the guy with camera did anything. When he did it wasn't very much. I think if you watch how the protesters gave him a chance to speak when he came up to them shows me that this paticular group was peaceful and not looking for a fight.

From what I caught they are wrong on what they were saying about the bailouts but that isn't against the law.

The TEA party movement is a total misnomer.

It is the product of a group of frustrated middle class Americans. In their spare time they make some signs and banners and arrange these gatherings. I guess this shows that they care enough about the state of our country to organize these events and speakers. They even sacrifice the time for some arts and crafts action resulting in clever signs with catchy slogans to stick it to our intrusive, corrupt, and greedy state and federal governments.

While it does give these saps something to do, it is hardly a drop in the proverbial bucket as far as civil dissent goes. Its just a safe activity for some frustrated middle class types. They care enough to attend these rallies, but only as much as to not put themselves in any jeopardy of losing the comfortable living that they have carved out suckling off the big obscene American teet.

So to sum up the TEA party movement. Its a bunch of pseudo-revolutionaries who are passionate about imparting a novel change in American government, but who don't want to put themselves in any jeopardy in the process.

The Boston Tea Party on the other hand, was a group of angry British subjects who snuck aboard a moored boat and committed acts of thievery or vandalism depending on how you look at it. Their actions were supplemented by a colony wide tea boycott as well.

American defiance, the boycott, and The Boston Tea Party led the British parliament to pass the Coercive Acts in 1774 and soon after the Colonists and the British found themselves against one another in a War over American Independence.

Now, seeing as how the Boston Tea Party was a significant event that helped move the colonists forward in a push for war with Britain---I really don't see why some arrogant suburbanite would want to call his townhall meeting about the present state of the government a tea party. It is hyperbole, and somewhat insulting to the men and women who were involved in the real Tea Party on the road to revolution.

Modern day TEA parties are not going to spark a new revolution. They aren't even going to spark the most minute political change within this country. In fact, I am about 99% sure that the historical relevance of the present day TEA movement will be nil.
