Jeff Richardson has a piece up about Schaeffer Cox’ vanity project…I mean militia. And it’s remarkable. Remarkable in that Richardson breathlessly repeats every batshit insane talking point that Cox and his pretend soldier friends scream out. Richardson points out that Cox has pleaded guilty to choking his wife and is facing charges for weapons misconduct, but otherwise let’s Cox and Co. spout their message without so much as a “Where are all the minorities in your militia?” And where are they? I mean look at these guys…

White as the new fallen snow
Not only are these jokers pigmentation-challenged, but c’mon…those are the stupidest looking uniforms this side of Hot Dog On A Stick. No offense to the employees of Hot Dog On A Stick, of course.
It’s one thing for a group to come together and play pretend. Hell, really these guys should just join a LARP or paintball club already. But when you’re banding together to make “sure no thugs [this is racist dogwhistle code for black people BTW] are out there doing stupid, lawless stuff” the fact is YOU are the stupid, lawless thug. And while the News-Miner might be content to give Schaeffer Cox a soapbox and a scrap of legitimacy, I am not.
