TOO MANY STEPS

These People And Their Violence, Sheesh

The “Lafayette County Republican Central Committee” of Missouri — an evil power of greater strength than the Chamber of Commerce and AHIP and Jackie Seal combined, times Halloween — has posted this warning on the highway: when the Second Revolutionary War comes… get your ass to New Hampshire and hide, because war is really scary!

    8 years too late?

  2. ManchuCandidate says at 3:39 pm, November 20th, 2009

    Where were these guys when noted GOPer Preznit W Bunnypants added 5 Trillion to the US America debt and Cheney ranted about “Deficits don’t matter”?

    Oh right, a black guy wants to give some people healthcare and NOW it’s all about fizkall responsibility.

  3. trondant says at 3:39 pm, November 20th, 2009

    I see the underpants gnomes have been busy in the Blow Me state.

  4. magic titty says at 3:41 pm, November 20th, 2009

    What if you *are* the beast?

  5. Jim89048 says at 3:41 pm, November 20th, 2009

    Neilist?

  6. memzilla says at 3:42 pm, November 20th, 2009

    I guess by not putting up any contact information, they figure the Secret Service won’t be able to find them and jail them for inciting to riot and making terroristic threats.

    Anonymity FAIL.

  7. You’ll take my Social Security and Medicare, that my grandnieces and nephews will be paying for by borrowing money from the Chinese, from my cold dead hand!

  8. edgydrifter says at 3:42 pm, November 20th, 2009

    Fucking pussy retards. They keep flapping their gums about the “coming revolution” and “watering the tree of liberty” but none of these dipshits is volunteering to catch the first bullet for freedumb. Here–it’s a surplus ammo can of dicks. Dig in.

  9. In reality, isn’t it much more likely to go like this:

    1. Starve the Beast, keep your money.
    2. Get caught by the IRS.
    3. Go to jail.

  10. slappypaddy says at 3:44 pm, November 20th, 2009

    pissing up a rope is not “watering the tree of liberty.”

  11. Let’s see the dictionary; under s; sed; yes, here it is! sedition

  12. snideinplainsight says at 3:44 pm, November 20th, 2009

    3. Economize on definite articles.

  13. Step 4: ???
    Step 5: Profit!

  14. Advocatus_Diaboli says at 3:45 pm, November 20th, 2009

    We need to reconsider whether the North actually won the Civil War. I’m thinking a true win would have had the fuckers secede.

  15. give us a bob says at 3:46 pm, November 20th, 2009

    Because every upcoming revolution is always announced via roadside billboards. How else do you think we were ready for the Cracker Barrel Insurrection, the Flying J Putsch, and the Love Travel Stop Coup D’etat?

  16. Native of SL UT says at 3:46 pm, November 20th, 2009

    I really like this advice. Please teabaggers, keep your money. Don’t pay your taxes. once all you fucking retards start going to prison for tax evasion, we will legalize drugs make room for you. Win/win.
    Or just die. Win also.

  17. Jim Demintia says at 3:46 pm, November 20th, 2009

    Right. Can we spread democracy to Missouri by bombing them now, please?

  18. bitchincamaro says at 3:47 pm, November 20th, 2009

    Syntax, spelling, grammar, FAIL.

  19. SayItWithWookies says at 3:49 pm, November 20th, 2009

    Central Committee? Sounds pretty damn commie to me. Why are these Missouri Stalinists pretending to be Republicans? It’s almost like they want an all-seeing, authoritarian government that controls the press and accuses all its enemies of treason. Oh, wait.

  20. trondant says at 3:49 pm, November 20th, 2009

    Zorg: Exactly. How can Real Americans refuse to pay taxes IN A TIME OF WAR??!!11!!1!

  21. Wait, so the progression goes: “Illegal action, if that doesn’t work then legal action, and if that doesn’t work, all out treason and war”?

    Well, if you must. I’m sure the federal government can build some more prisons to accomodate you all for tax evasion. Now you too can feel like Al Capone!

  22. Extemporanus says at 3:50 pm, November 20th, 2009

    I sure hope they put out a billboard-on-tape version, because there’s no way a wingnut from Missouri could ever read the whole thing while passing it in a moving vehicle.

    Also, all that lip moving would send dip flying everywhere.

  23. Sara in the West says at 3:50 pm, November 20th, 2009

    I guess there was some big sale on dumb ass bilboards , since look what’s going up in Wheat Ridge, CO:

    http://www.am760.net/pages/JayMarvin.html

  24. Well, okay. I guess once the so-called revolutionaries stop paying their taxes, they’ll no longer use the tax-supported infrastructure, such as public roads. Am I right? Can we expect to see less of them on our roads in the near future? I’d like that, actually, so go ahead. Keep your money, oh brave revolutionaries.

  25. JesusButter says at 3:53 pm, November 20th, 2009

    They’ll reconsider their position when, after having “starved the beast”, the beast cuts off their social security, their medicare, their clean drinking water and their sewage treatment plants and the electrical grid. They will also have to inspect their own medicine, meat, and other food and hey, good luck with that.

  26. rmontcal says at 3:53 pm, November 20th, 2009

    So I can’t yell “fire!” in a movie theater, but this is OK?

    Also, this is another example of something wingnutty that mentions “cum”. They just can’t get away from it, can they?

  27. Extemporanus says at 3:53 pm, November 20th, 2009

    Sara in the West: Multiple choice tests are the absolute worst!

  28. V572625694 says at 3:54 pm, November 20th, 2009

    Yeah boy howdy, that ’starve the beast’ strategy worked great over the 20 years (8 for Reagan, 12 for the Bushes) that it was tried. Let’s see: somewhere in there, we had a Dumbocrat preznident who raised taxes, and almost wiped out the national debt, until Greenspan said WTF.

    These people will believe any goddamn thing.

  29. FlownOver says at 3:54 pm, November 20th, 2009

    I’m with MasterBlaster – Embargo on! Let ‘em revolt alone in the dark.

  30. The Missouri wignuts also need some grammar lessons. For one, don’t use “A” with a plural like “citizens”; it should be just “Citizens guide to”. Now, they’re guiding to the revolution of the corrupt government; I guess this means that the government is turning on an axis at a regular rate, since as this is the government acting here it would contradictory for it to perform a revolution as in revolt instead of revolve.

  31. Oldskool says at 3:56 pm, November 20th, 2009

    I had no idea there were dumbshits in Mizzorah too. Suddenly my part of the South looks a little better.

  32. Snarkless says at 3:56 pm, November 20th, 2009

    The comments on the website of the folks that put up the website make a case for MO not being a total waste… Most of the comments call the sign treasonous.

  33. give us a bob: Definitely destroys the element of surprise.

  34. chascates says at 3:57 pm, November 20th, 2009

    Just as the Grift Rift Valley courses through Africa the Great Valley of Idiocy runs through the middle of America.

  35. FlownOver says at 3:58 pm, November 20th, 2009

    Extemporanus: I’ve tried to drive through MizzouREE (screw y’all and your pronunciation fetish). There are no moving vehicles, ‘cept mebbe a few completely out of control.

  36. Extemporanus says at 3:59 pm, November 20th, 2009

    Maybe we could incite some sort of mutually eliminative fringe war by notifying PETA that the LCRCC has demanded that Americans starve the beast.

  37. germansteel says at 4:04 pm, November 20th, 2009

    “Revolution of a corrupt government”??? Is our government going around something? Or, is it going around itself, like the earth revolving around its axis?

    Do they have schools in Missouri? Do they teach English? If they do, they need to revolute them, first, into learning the ‘tards in the Republican party.

  38. Radiotherapy says at 4:05 pm, November 20th, 2009

    What a bunch of cry babies.
    These are the same people who always said, “Love It or Leave It!”.

  39. Snarkless says at 4:07 pm, November 20th, 2009

    As a former Missourian, I’d point out, we voted for our deceased governor over ashcroft. Of course that cleared the way for him to become the AG, but we didn’t know that would happen. Also.

  40. doxastic says at 4:07 pm, November 20th, 2009

    Am I the only one who thinks, for a fleeting second, when she sees such things: “I’d like to see you try.”

  41. V572625694 says at 4:08 pm, November 20th, 2009

    Oldskool: Mizzourah’s like Pennsylvania: two relatively sophisticated big cities separated by rural Alabama.

  42. martinette says at 4:08 pm, November 20th, 2009

    “Starve the Beast. Keep your money.”
    Boy, Comcast isn’t going to like that.

  43. germansteel: If they had schools in Missourah, they wouldn’t have billboards like these.

  44. Snarkalicious says at 4:11 pm, November 20th, 2009

    So, the plan for these noble patriots is:
    1. Commit felony tax evasion.
    2. Still vote.
    3. Gun up and head towards French Canuckistan.

    I got five on it.

    Manchu, I’m sorry.

  45. Wisdom from John Stewart: “It feels like all the people that want limited government really just want government limited to Republicans.”

  46. Snarkless says at 4:11 pm, November 20th, 2009

    So, Harry Truman is from Rural Alabama?

  47. Humpback says at 4:13 pm, November 20th, 2009

    “I AM A TRAITOR! I ENCOURAGE YOU TO COMMIT TREASON WITH ME!”

  48. Sore losers.

  49. Mad Brahms says at 4:15 pm, November 20th, 2009

    Yeah, those tea parties sure are nonpartisan!

  50. gurukalehuru says at 4:18 pm, November 20th, 2009

    You don’t go to war with the army you prepared to have, also.

  51. V572625694 says at 4:19 pm, November 20th, 2009

    Snarkless: HST (and I don’t mean Hunter S Thompson) was from Independence, MO, a KC suburb. It’s pretty well known that all evil begins in the suburbs.

  52. Snarkless says at 4:24 pm, November 20th, 2009

    Actually Harry Truman was born in southwestern rural Missouri and moved to Independence before the turn of the century predating it being a suburb by sometime. I believe I have now proven my moniker.

  53. germansteel says at 4:25 pm, November 20th, 2009

    When Republicans say “Prepare for War,” their frame of reference for “war” is watching someone else’s kids on the tee vee, in Army camouflage, in a place none of them could locate using a good GPS or an atlas, while they reach for the cheetos bag and liter bottle of Mountain Dew, spilling ashes from their cigarette on their wife-beater, yellow-sweat stained t-shirt.

  54. snideinplainsight says at 4:26 pm, November 20th, 2009

    “If you’re really going to start an insurrection, consider bringing more than twenty or so of your closest friends.” - Attributed to John Brown, shortly before his death at the hands of federal troops.

  55. snideinplainsight says at 4:27 pm, November 20th, 2009

    “… he used to wear an old gray coat, all buttoned down before.”

  56. gurukalehuru says at 4:34 pm, November 20th, 2009

    You don’t go to war with the army you prepared to have, also

  57. gurukalehuru says at 4:36 pm, November 20th, 2009

    Snarkless: Harry Truman is from Kansas City. That’s the big, sophisticated one on the west.

  58. glamourdammerung says at 4:42 pm, November 20th, 2009

    Bring it on.

  59. Snarkless says at 4:42 pm, November 20th, 2009

    Actually, he’s not.

  60. I thought they were leaving.

  61. Johnny Zhivago says at 4:49 pm, November 20th, 2009

    These guys are even worse than Ron Paul people, at least they only want Rev-love-ution, right?

  62. Ah, the Ozarks. Ma and Pa Kettle live on.

  63. ttommyunger says at 4:51 pm, November 20th, 2009

    As a Missouri boy transplanted to Gawjia, all I can say is: fuck it, I’m surrounded!

  64. FlownOver says at 4:52 pm, November 20th, 2009

    doxastic: Good point, because the last “revolution” movement was so successful. I’m still looking for early 70’s historical records of People’s Postrevolutionary First Couple Paul Kantner and Grace Slick.

  65. This is the result of people buying into their own bullshit. I mean, do these folks honestly believe that a bunch of pasty overweight people who’s only exposure to the great outdoors is going hunting once a year will be able to start a revolution? The Army has physical fitness requirements for a reason.
    And NEWS FLASH: a gun collection does not make you a soldier, no matter how many times you masturbate to that HAWT MILITIA GIRLZ calendar.

    Nitwits.

  66. Who knew a billboard was capable of having a toddler-like tantrum?

  67. Accordion-o-rama says at 5:00 pm, November 20th, 2009

    It’s freedom’s call

    Old Glory, raise her

    Let’s give the Muslin

  68. Cicada:
    They also seem to forget that deer and paper targets don’t return fire.

  69. glamourdammerung says at 5:01 pm, November 20th, 2009

    Johnny Zhivago: These clowns probably are their local Ron Paul “people”.

  70. FlownOver says at 5:02 pm, November 20th, 2009

    Maybe we’re all wrong. maybe we should all practice praying for mercy from Field Marshal Skoalrebel.

  71. gurukalehuru says at 5:03 pm, November 20th, 2009

    V572625694: O.K., Snarkless, you got the TKO, and Jimmy Carter was from Georgia and Bill Clinton from Arkansas. V’s analysis of Missouri demographics and voting trends is still valid.

  72. FlownOver says at 5:03 pm, November 20th, 2009

    Almost forgot:

    I, for one, will welcome our new inbred overlords.

  73. slappypaddy says at 5:05 pm, November 20th, 2009

    snideinplainsight: and you might not want to waste all of your immediate family on your bad bet.

  74. Lets Go Vertigo says at 5:20 pm, November 20th, 2009

    If you were watering the tree of liberty with the blood of tyrants, you’d be home by now

  75. Extemporanus says at 5:22 pm, November 20th, 2009

    glamourdammerung: Bring it, moron!

  76. Wonderman says at 5:23 pm, November 20th, 2009

    1. Spend all your money on worthless billboards.
    2. Huddle together under a Rebel flag and look angry.
    3. Elect someone who “hears” you but screws you anyway.
    4. Get drunk and jerk off to pictures of Sarah Palin.

  77. confederette libtard says at 5:26 pm, November 20th, 2009

    Amurika, fuck yeah.

  78. confederette libtard says at 5:28 pm, November 20th, 2009

    Man, I’mo git off ‘is fucking couch and kick some ass, in a minnet.
    Damn muslins and libtards cain’t have my cuntry and kick out my baby jesus.

  79. Advocatus_Diaboli: I’m not worried. Last time West Virginia and their friends kicked Virginia’s ass. Bring it on, Rebs.

  80. nightshift says at 5:44 pm, November 20th, 2009

    Just to put that billboard in context–Lafayette County is where that wingnut religious family has been arrested on numerous charges of beastiality, incest, molestation, rape, etc.

    I also saw an “Alan Keyes for President” billboard in southern Missouri last summer. Had to put it on my Facebook page under “laugh out loud funny”. Parts of this state scare me!

  81. I never thought I’d miss the phrase, “America. Love it or leave it.”

  82. Paul Tardy says at 6:15 pm, November 20th, 2009

    Can’t blame Paul Tards they spell it RevolUTION or rEVOLution. Maybe yall forgot there is a little backward love in any rEVOLution.

    Seems like they are 8 years late to prepare, maybe that’s why they are losing.

  89. Lascauxcaveman says at 7:40 pm, November 20th, 2009

    Barrelhse: So why’d you leave? This is one place that’s actually getting nicer as time goes on. If you ever come back for a visit, you’ll have to stay at

  90. glamourdammerung says at 8:38 pm, November 20th, 2009

    Lascauxcaveman: I have a bad feeling that getting the Wonkette Discount involves sodomy, panda costumes, or both.

  91. BlueStateLibtard says at 9:02 pm, November 20th, 2009

    FlownOver: I’m still looking for early 70’s historical records of People’s Postrevolutionary First Couple Paul Kantner and Grace Slick.

    I believe that all the evidence of Mr. Kantner and Ms. Slick’s co-presidency was destroyed after they released the song “We Built This City On Rock And Roll”, a song so bad it caused a fake news helicopter to crash into “the city that rocks, the city that never sleeps”, killing thousands.

  94. artpepper says at 2:00 am, November 21st, 2009

    I love that anyone reading that billboard is driving on an interstate highway.

    Also, I thought these people were going Galt? So go Galt already!

  95. Lascauxcaveman says at 2:11 am, November 21st, 2009

    BlueStateLibtard: glamourdammerung: Aw c’mon, don’t be such pussies! Show up in a panda suit and you get $20 off the advertised rate!

    (Just kidding. If you show up in a panda suit, I’ll give you $20 and send you up the street to shout gibberish at the folks at China First, the shittiest Chinese joint in town. There’s a pawn shop next door, and since in my town Pawnshops=Guns, you’d be an endangered species, to say the least.)

  96. Advocatus_Diaboli: A true win would have seen the Seccess liquidated as a class. At least, that’s what my old Uncle Joe always used to tell me.

  97. zhubajie says at 6:55 am, November 21st, 2009

    Will they bring back slavery, after the revolution?

  98. zhubajie says at 7:10 am, November 21st, 2009

    Zorg: It’s true that the Roman Empire would have sold all confederate prisoners to the Empire of Brazil, the biggest slave power in the world.

  104. davesnothere says at 2:03 pm, November 21st, 2009

    A billboard advocating the violent overthrow of the US govt? They should be easy enough to find - book ‘em, Dano. It’s a federal offense, punishable by up to 20 yrs in prison.

  105. largefoot says at 5:45 pm, November 21st, 2009

    I’m actually from that county. The billboard is right as you are leaving KC on I-70. When I was growing up, there was a sign for “Murder, Death, Suicide?” Cleaners on the same billboard. COMPLETELY TRUE.

  106. Captain Swing says at 5:46 pm, November 21st, 2009

    O.K. Lafayette County Republican Central Committee of Missouri, so you puddingbrains want to defend freedom, huh? Just which Party was it that created The Department of Homeland Security (which would have gotten a wry grin from George Orwell)? Which Party’s Prez trashed the Constitution (which every U.S. President takes an oath to defend)? Who engaged in unlawful wire-taps? The list goes on.

    If you douchebags want to bloviate about “freedom”, it might be nice if you had some idea of what the word meant.

    As for “vote out the incumbents”, that’s what happened- TO YOU PLONKERS! Also…

  107. maximumneanderthal says at 5:49 pm, November 21st, 2009

    I’d guess that seen thru’ the spittle-flecked screen of Bubba’s pickup, yer average trailer park spawn will think that sign IS a book, but christamighty what a big ‘un! (Landscape format, opens at the wrong end). Anyway, how the hell do they expect the bipedally part-time to count as far as three? Don’t they know it should be in base “many” (goes one, two, many, many-one, many-two, many-many)?

  108. I wonder if someone actually paid for the ad, or the billbord compant put it up there ’cause they had no payin’ customers
