Not that they're going to get it.

Liberal media, White House owes preppers and survivalists a massive apology in the aftermath of superstorm Sandy

General Sebastian Snowflake, commander of the on-line Prag Army, is "perfectly fine with CSGV criticizing the 'III percent' philosophy of Mike Vanderboegh."

Sebastian plays kiss-kiss with the government-monopoly-of-violence advocates at CSGV. "Take Julia! Take Julia!"
Just got this link with the header "sNOballs just threw you under the bus in front of the leftists. Maybe they'll like him now."
“CSGV has been attempting for quite some time to silence and intimidate Second Amendment bloggers, especially those who use pen names, by finding out and publishing their real names online. You will note that most of those bloggers are defending the notion of free speech and expression; the right to tell people to read a book (published by our government no less) and to speak out for what they believe, even if what they believe are not popular ideas.
I would be perfectly fine with CSGV criticizing the "III percent" philosophy of Mike Vanderboegh. I have done so myself on several occasions. What we're not OK is trying to cajole the FBI and publisher to silence unpopular viewpoints. As we defend the Second Amendment, we also defend the First, and the way to deal with unpopular or even dangerous speech is biting criticism. But CSGV ran out of that a long time ago, and has since been erecting straw men and tearing them down, and building up this boogie man that they claim are Second Amendment bloggers.”

An Unrepentant Kurt Hofmann: CSGV equates knowledge with 'insurrection,' wants it suppressed

In fact, when National Gun Rights Examiner David Codrea asked CSGV on Twitter to cite a quote from the article in question that would provide some evidence of their charges, they (hilariously) declined: "We're not pointing to a specific quote. We're referring to his blog as a whole." In other words, "Take our word for it about what he meant, despite the fact that he never said it."

CAUTION: David Codrea's email infected with virus.

Do not open any attachments until he gets things straightened out.

John Richardson reacts to Comrade Horwitz, "totalitarian thug."

Horwitz' idea of the First Amendment.
The Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution And CSGV.
There are times that I think that Josh Horwitz of the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence (sic) gets his ideas from outerspace and there are times I think he channels his inner Maoist student revolutionary. Today it appears he is looking to Chairman Mao and the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution for his inspiration.
The stated goal of the Cultural Revolution was to enforce orthodoxy and to wipe out those who deviated from it. In China's case, it meant Communist orthodoxy. One of the hallmarks of the Cultural Revolution was the public denunciation of those who may have deviated from this orthodoxy. So it is with Josh Horwitz who would have made a good Red Guard. . .
The real target of Horwitz is not Kurt and not the other gun bloggers. It is Mike Vanderboegh. Horwitz devoted as much time attacking Mike and his online novel Absolved as he did the rest of us. That Horwitz feels so threatened by a middle-aged man who is in tremendously poor health is telling.
After reading the post and the comments, it is obvious to me that they hate the First Amendment as much as they do the Second Amendment. To be more precise, Josh Horwitz and his erstwhile Red Guard believe in freedom of speech for themselves but not for those who deviate from their notion of orthodoxy. Those of us who deviate must be silenced, denounced, and made to confess our sins. . .
Josh Horwitz is just as much a totalitarian thug as the rest of his minions at CSGV. No amount of education at "the better schools" will ever change that.

Another whole alternate universe heard from. Lying sack of excrement and government monopoly of force advocate Josh Horwitz conflates "The Window War" with my novel.

Nanny State Mayor Not Quite So Popular Anymore.

Devastated Rockaways residents lash out at Bloomberg during unannounced visit.

Night in the medieval city. In New York’s Public Housing, Fear Creeps In With the Dark. Defending yourself from looters with boa constrictors?

Police cars have been patrolling the housing projects but officers have not been getting out of their cars, one of his friends said. “They are as scared as us,” he said.
And here's another one from Queens:
Queens residents arm themselves in the post-storm blackout from looters.
Keone Singlehurst, 42, who lives in a bungalow on Beach 87th Street in the Rockaways, says he wouldn't hesitate to use a bow on a looter.
When night falls in the Rockaways, the hoods come out.
Ever since Sandy strafed the Queens peninsula and tore up the boardwalk, it’s become an often lawless place where cops are even scarcer than electrical power and food. Locals say they are arming themselves with guns, baseball bats, booby traps — even a bow and arrow — to defend against looters.
Thugs have been masquerading as Long Island Power Authority (LIPA) workers, knocking on doors in the dead of night. But locals say the real workers have been nowhere in sight, causing at least one elected official — who fears a descent into anarchy if help doesn’t arrive soon — to call for the city to investigate the utility.
Further exacerbating desperate conditions, it could take at least a month to repair the the bridge that connects the Rockaways to the city subway system, officials said.
“We booby-trapped our door and keep a baseball bat beside our bed,” said Danielle Harris, 34, rummaging through donated supplies as children rode scooters along half-block chunk of the boardwalk that had marooned into the middle of Beach 91st St
.
“We heard gunshots for three nights in a row,” said Harris, who believed they came from the nearby housing projects.
Carly Ruggieri, 27, who lives in water-damaged house on the block, said she barricades her door with a bed frame. “There have been people in power department uniforms knocking on doors and asking if they’re okay, but at midnight.”
And another local surfer said he has knives, a machete and a bow and arrow on the ready. Gunshots and slow-rolling cars have become a common fixture of the night since Hurricane Sandy.
“I would take a looter with a boa.* If I felt threatened I would definitely use it,” said Keone Singlehurst, 42. “Its like the Wild West. A borderline lawless situation.”
City Councilman James Sanders (D-Far Rockaway) said he fears the situation will devolve into anarchy.
“We have an explosive mix here,” said Sanders. “People will take matters into their own hands.”
Walter Meyer, 37, lives in Park Slope but often surfs in the Rockaways. He said it’s not the place it was before the storm.
"After sunset everyone locks their doors,” said Meyer, as he loaded up a solar panel from a factory in the Brooklyn Navy Yard to bring to local residents. "They're trying to find whatever weapons they can find. Some people are even using bows and arrows."
* MBV Note: I rather suspect he said "bow" and this idiot "journalist" with a non-existent editor wrote "boa."

Bill Maher Solicits Race War. Warns Romney Supporters: 'Black People Know Who You Are and They Will Come After You'.

"If you're thinking about voting for Mitt Romney, I would like to make this one plea: black people know who you are and they will come after you"
Notice he's not offering his narrow white ass as a target of opportunity.

B’klyn bat man: Run, looters!

Reporter once again advertises firearm ignorance.
Jacinto Gonzalez stands guard against looters in Coney Island.
Hardened New Yorkers are ready to battle lowlife criminals to protect their homes and stores in storm-ravaged areas plagued by looting and break-ins.
In Coney Island, several residents were loading up their guns, sharpening their machetes and brandishing other deadly weapons.
Jacinto Gonzalez, 42, picked up a baseball bat and stood guard outside his two-story rowhouse on West 27th Street near Neptune Avenue with his family.
Another Coney Island resident, Roberto Aviles, brandishing a rusty 3-foot machete and warning he has a gun, who has lived in Coney Island since 1995 with his wife, says he’s ready to take on phony burglars posing as Con Ed workers.
“I’m prepared inside here,” the 76-year-old Aviles said, showing off his rusted, three-foot machete and warning he had a gun.
Chris Lane, a 50-year-old resident of the Coney Island Houses, put together a small arsenal with his double pump action gun.
A "double pump action gun"?

Bugger the bastards. I hope all the New Yaarkers who are freezing their asses off this weekend take it out on IBEW. "Ala. utility, Fla. crewman blame electricians’ union for interfering with Hurricane Sandy relief."

Nice. The audio played on the Hannity show on Friday was from a strike in 2011. This happened this past week.
Decatur Utilities in Decatur, Ala. told Huntsville’s WAFF-TV Thursday evening that its crews were denied the opportunity to work in Seaside Heights, N.J. because they’re not affiliated with a union. Some of those workers, the company said, headed home. Others remained at a staging area in Roanoke, Va.
And on Friday the company doubled down, with general manager Ray Hardin telling Fox Business Network’s Stuart Varney that “we were presented with documents from IBEW that required our folks to affiliate with the union. And [that's] something that we could not agree to. And it was our understanding, and still is, that that was a requirement of working in that area.”
A Central Florida utility lineman who insisted on remaining anonymous told TheDC in a phone interview Friday that his 12-person crew waited ”all day yesterday” for their bosses to sort through the IBEW’s demands.
“It was like, ‘What’s the hold up?’ he said. “It turns out there was a 300-page contract that the union controlling LIPA [the Long Island Power Authority] wanted everybody to sign first. We don’t have time for that. We’ve got guys ready to go."

Kurt Hofmann: "Coalition to Stop Gun Violence lowers bar on what constitutes 'liberty.'" Also, I'm jealous. I am now merely a "pathetic traitor."

Worse than that, check out this from CSGV. The government monopoly of violence advocates now consider Kurt more of a threat than me. I'm jealous. I am now merely a "pathetic traitor."
That's okay. Wait'll they get a load of the new Absolved.

Another Absolved Day.

Sorry. As long as I'm on a roll I can't stop.

Well, it seems there are in fact some firearms in private hands up East -- and people are pulling them to get gas.

Removing the moral disincentive for American genocide.

Obama’s inauguration reverend: All whites are going to hell.
All white people are going to hell, longtime African-American civil rights advocate Rev. Joseph Lowery told an audience at a get-out-the-vote event held Oct. 27 in Georgia.
Lowery, who gave the benediction at the January 2009 inauguration of President Barack Obama, told the audience of up to 300 African-Americans “that when he was a young militant, he used to say all white folks were going to hell. Then he mellowed and just said most of them were. Now, he said, he is back to where he was,” according to an Oct. 31 report in the Monroe County Reporter newspaper.
“I don’t know what kind of a n—– wouldn’t vote with a black man running,” Lowery also told the audience in the St. James Baptist Church in Forsyth, Ga., according to the Reporter.
This is an interesting position for a so-called Christian minister to take, but it even has another more startling feature -- It removes the moral disincentive for American genocide against black folks. I mean, if we're all going to hell anyway and there is no saving grace of Jesus Christ available to white folks (a position I of course reject, but Lowery seemingly does not), then all black folks can be killed without Divine punishment, right? Is this really what Lowery has in mind?

David Codrea: Texas church bludgeoning shows no place is safe from violence

A pastor of a North Texas church has been beaten to death by an assailant using an electric guitar, The Dallas Morning News reported yesterday. Rev. Danny Kirk of the Greater Sweethome Missionary Baptist Church in Forest Hill was killed and a church custodian suffered a broken jaw after their attacker rammed his car into the building, jumped out and went after them. It took the arrival of police to stop the attack, but by then, the damage to the victims had been done.

Kurt Hofmann: 'The guys with the guns make the rules'; anti-gun groups know it, prefer it

And it's all an act. Every one of these anti-gun groups supports the power of government to enforce its will on the people through force of arms. CSGV is quite explicit about it, with constant demands for a "government monopoly on force." And CSGV, the distaste for "gun violence" implied by the group's name notwithstanding, is not the least bit shy about wanting the government to use that force.
