A front page post on the website of the Republican Project, the organization created by unsuccessful first Congressional District candidate Dean Scontras in an attempt to turn the Maine GOP to the right, endorses a video labeling Democrats "traitors" and calling for a second American Revolution.
Most of the video, which Scontras' group calls "A meesage [sic] worth hearing and taking to heart" consists of an actor dressed like Thomas Paine frothing against immigrants and calling for the advancement of American "uniculture." At about the 4:30 mark, however, things get a little bloodthirsty.
Pseudo-Paine references "The party that claims to be the party of the people and shouts 'we want change'" and declares that "They call themselves progressive, global thinkers. We had another word for them in 1776. We called them traitors."
He then warns that "This happened all once before. 232 years ago it led to revolution and thousands of dead in the streets. It will happen again unless you take back America now."
So there you go, Maine. Elect Republicans or face a violent insurrection.
You should have taken the
You should have taken the time to watch the entire clip, or paid better attention if you did......."Pseudo-Paine" specifically spoke AGAINST any violence, and advocated that the citizenry apply pressure to their elected representatives to end the abuse.

Perhaps Mark Sanford should have taken better heed of this from the video:
"Separation of God from publick life? Never intended by your Founding Fathers."
And if you had any doubts as to the subtle racism that is behind this video, just read the above statement again:
"Never intended by your Founding Fathers." Not the Founding Fathers, but your Founding Fathers - i.e. the white men that ratified the Constitution.

Anon #1: I didn't say the speaker directly promoted violence, but he does very clearly state that a violent revolution will occur if people don't "take back America" by pressuring their elected representatives to be more conservative and voting Democrats out of office. The quotes speak for themselves.
Also, not to put too fine a point on it, but treason is still a capital crime under U.S. law.
