William Kostric wears a 9mm pistol as he stands outside a town hall meeting on healthcare held by President Obama, in Portsmouth, N.H., Tuesday. Who was that gun-toting anti-Obama protester?
One of Tuesday's big mysteries was the motivation behind anti-Obama protester William Kostric, the man who brought a loaded gun to the town hall meeting and carried a sign referencing Thomas Jefferson's famous credo, "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of tyrants and patriots."
Snip
But at least one of those statements doesn't seem to be true. A right-wing activist named "William Kostric," who's left a lot of footprints around the Web, is listed as a "team member" of the Arizona chapter of We the People, the far-right group best known for joining a lawsuit challenging Obama's right to be president based on his not being a U.S. citizen. Kostric told MSNBC he recently moved from Arizona to New Hampshire. (Kostric did not reply to Salon's e-mail request for an interview.).....................
Who is this William Kostric, the gun toter at a "Town Hall Democracy In Action" meeting with a President of the United States, a Domestic Terrorist or Coward?
That's easy to answer, He's Both!
Showing up at this Town Hall, citizens asking questions of their representatives in this case the President, meeting packing a loaded gun strapped to his thigh, like some modern day cowboy, causing many of those, especially with the many Children brought to experience an act of pure Democracy that the state of New Hampshire takes great pride in their long history of organizing and holding, to wonder when and if that gun was coming out of the holster and why!
A Coward because, while trying to act like some big tough guy male, he apparently was in fear of a large crowd and needed his security blanket to put fear into those around him, here in the United States!
A Domestic Terrorist, he needs to feel like a man by putting fear into innocents around him, well seems the message he was sending and standing behind was used before, and has been used many times in this countries history by the extremist within!
Oh and a Lier as well, not surprising, just read the above with the many back links embedded, showing just how much of a hypocrite, lier, and Coward this clown is, a dangerous clown but probably more so to himself and those around him then to this Country. After all he apparently isn't a muslim and certainly not african american or an illegal resident, hummmm birth certificate mr. kostric!
January 15, 2001: Southern Partisan T-Shirt Identical to One Worn by Timothy McVeigh at Time of Arrest
Factual Background:
Mid-1990s
Southern Partisan sells T-shirts celebrating the Lincoln assassination with a quote from John Wilkes Booth ("Sic Semper Tyrannis") on the front, and Jefferson's quote about liberty requiring "the blood of patriots and tyrants" on the back.
April 19, 1995
Timothy McVeigh is arrested after bombing the Oklahoma City federal building, wearing a T-shirt identical to the one sold by Southern Partisan. (Front and back views of the Southern Partisan shirt can be seen at FAIR's website.)
December 1995
Southern Partisan General Store sends out form letter stating: "Due to a surprising demand for our anti-Lincoln T-shirt, our stock has been reduced to odd sizes. If the enclosed shirt will not suffice, we will be glad to refund your money or immediately ship you another equally militant shirt from our catalog."
April 24, 1997
In his opening statement on day one of McVeigh's murder and conspiracy trial, the prosecutor described the T-shirt worn by McVeigh at the time of his arrest, as reported by the New York Times (4/25/97): It "showed the tree of liberty, with droplets of bright red blood where the fruit should be, and the slogan 'The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.' {The quotation is from a 1787 letter by Thomas Jefferson to Williams Stevens Smith.} On the front was a picture of Lincoln, emblazoned with the Latin slogan 'Sic Semper Tyrannis' [thus always to tyrants], shouted by his assassin, John Wilkes Booth."

No rational person can help but laughing or running for the baseball bat when confronted with the "tin foil hat" brigade the insurance industry inspired "domestic terrorists" Michael Steele is using to try to scare Americans. Even with millions in payoffs buying publicity, this pack of malcontents and losers are little more than gnats....................
