DETROIT – Nine alleged members of a Christian militia group that was girding for battle with the Antichrist were charged Monday with plotting to kill a police officer and slaughter scores more by bombing the funeral — all in hopes of touching off an uprising against the U.S. government.
Seven men and one woman believed to be part of the Michigan-based Hutaree were arrested over the weekend in raids in Michigan, Indiana and Ohio, and another was still being sought.
FBI agents moved quickly against Hutaree because its members were planning an attack sometime in April, prosecutors said. Authorities seized guns in the raids but would not say whether they found any explosives.

LOL, hypocrites never cease to amaze!

Also, just a note, generally it's good form to post a link with any snippet of an article from a website.

Oops, I'm sorry. I usually post a link, and I had one, but I must have lost it when I edited the thread. Sorry!

Sorry, I forgot to add the links to both excerpts when I posted the thread, so I am including them now.

How did they even think that they could take on the U.S. govt and win??? And without the support of the rest of the nation.

What idiots. If these nutcases don't like America, send them to Iran or somewhere lovely like that! ha ha

And that includes the teabaggers, too!

Has anybody heard any of the Republican leaders denounce this group? I haven't, hmmmm!

Yeah, good point. They do seem pretty immature, like a bunch of kids playing guns in fantasy land. Unfortunately, immature people can still be dangerous.
