What happens if someone gets hurt or killed by these douchnozzles while they attempt to blockade an entire freeway? What exactly do they plan to do to the drivers that try to pass their rolling teabagger rally?
55mph is a blockade?

I doubt this will be even half as dangerous as the typical liberal weekend at OWS or G-8 summit riots.

So proud of our liberals - can't say their mind without a lot of name calling. Seems the toddlers are right here on this forum. And your calling who rednecks?

What we want to do is go in nice and peaceful and keep it as peaceful as possible... but if they decide to get ugly with us we're going to do what we have to do," he said. "If all I get is one or two congressmen walked out of there in handcuffs, that will be a shot across the bow that will ripple across all branches of government. ... I hope they are all civil enough and brave enough to step out onto the congressional steps."
Why are rightwingers always and consistently so delusional? Sure, they're going to waltze into the capitol and bring out a few congressmen in handcuffs. Uh, huh. There isn't an emoticon on C-D that adequately expresses my sense of hilarity at that delusion. I bet if they get 10 truckers to show up, it will be a lot. And like the million motorcycle march that completely fizzled out, no one will even notice they were there. Hilarious.

People may be hauled away in cuffs, but it won't be congressmen.

Conlon cited the idea of a citizens grand jury – meaning a pool of jurors convened without court approval – as the mechanism for indicting the officials.

"We want these people arrested, and we're coming in with the grand jury to do it," he said. "We are going to ask the law enforcement to uphold their constitutional oath and make these arrests. If they refuse to do it, by the power of the people of the United States and the people's grand jury, they don't want to do it, we will. ... We the people will find a way."
People's grand juries!!! Hey, these guys have been talking to the birthers!! They held a series of citizen grand juries on whether the president was a usurper in the White House and came to the conclusion--and I know this is going to shock all of you--that he was guilty! I know, you never saw that coming, right? They subsequently demanded he be removed from office and tried for treason.

Of course, that was in 2009, and guess who is still in the White House? But hey, I'm sure the truckers will be much more successful.
