60-Minutes Interview Oath Keepers

[Duman]

Watched the 60-Minutes interview of the Oath Keepers. It seemed reasonably balanced, anyone else see it?

Read through the article, without watching the video, and didn't find it to be so well balanced. Is the video different?

The idea that groups like this can present their "case" in the media and not be edited into looking like absolute kooks is fantasy. No one should be engaging with the media, and frankly should not belong to Oath Keepers, III%, etc. They ARE infiltrated by alphabets, and they ARE filled with folks who, when push comes to shove, will sing like their life depends on it (cus that will be the method used by the interrogators).

Small groups of 3-4 total, of TRUSTED friends. No social media talking about it. Stop posting videos of your "training". Stop with the bullshit belief that because X group does BGC's on folks that somehow they are "good to go."

I think they were more than fair to that clown show group of posers, wanna-be's and never-were's.

They tried to portray them as a dangerous and organized group of right wing extremists instead of Cletus Spucker's Trailer Park Militia.

"The Media" doesn't have to make the Oath Keepers and III%ers look like kooks, they do a fine job of that themselves.

DISCLAIMER: while this group is local to me, and also called YCPT (Yavapai County Preparedness team) I have avoided their OK group. just because

ANYWAY: here's the reply from OK



We're actually pretty pleased!!

Although most seems to be targeting Stewart Rhodes, a few minutes actually shows a little of what we are doing to prepare our community. Lots of positive responses, and calls from around the country wanting to form groups there. Yes, we will help, and yes, we will provide constant support if needed!

We've seen many of our members, and they feel the same. Of course, we all hoped that it would be a beautiful presentation of YCPT / OK. But, just because it wasn't a rave about us, doesn't mean it was a hit piece, as some expected.

The show includes the same footage of the Capital mess we all have seen, and some information about Stewart Rhodes. Everything they said seems to be true. Those who committed crimes should be punished, those who didn't should be released.
