An Oklahoma City man who announced on Twitter that he would turn an April 15 tax protest into a bloodbath was hit with a federal charge of making interstate threats last week, in what appears to be first criminal prosecution to stem from posts on the microblogging site.
Daniel Knight Hayden, 52, was arrested by FBI agents who identified him as the Twitter user CitizenQuasar. In a series of tweets beginning April 11, CitizenQuasar vowed to start a “war” against the government on the steps of the Oklahoma City Capitol building, the site of that city’s version of the national “Tea Party” protests promoted by the conservative-leaning Fox News.
“START THE KILLING NOW! I am willing to be the FIRST DEATH!,” read a tweet at 8:01 PM that day. “After I am killed on the Capitol Steps, like a REAL man, the rest of you will REMEMBER ME!!!,” he added five minutes later. Then: “Send the cops around. I will cut their heads off the heads and throw the[m] on the State Capitol steps.”
Hayden’s MySpace page is a breathtaking gallery of right wing memes about the “New World Order,” gun control as Nazi fascism, and Barack Obama’s covert use of television hypnosis, among many others…
Hayden’s penultimate tweet at 12:49 AM on April 15 returned to the subject of his martyrdom. “Locked AND loaded for the Oklahoma State Capitol. Let’s see what happens.”
The FBI arrested him at his home later that day, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Oklahoma City, which otherwise declined to comment on the case.
Warms the cockles of your heart to see a nutball truly deserving the title.
D’oh, I forgot to ask… why did Prescott Bush hate America so much? And judging from the mess Dubya has left the country in, he passed that hatred of America down to his grandson.
Alfred1 the adults are talking please keep it down. Have you done your homework yet? Remember you have that paper on the US Constitution protecting the rights of the minority from the tyranny of the majority due. -hint- Start with line from the preamble “promote the general welfare” be sure to look into the idea of no particular classes of people being favored. You need to have that SA on my desk by the start class tomorrow so get busy.
#40 There you go again Phydeau, subtracting from the sum total of human knowledge…
The Tea Party wasn’t partisan…many there were Democrats and Independents…they were protesting Government GIVING BILLIONS of their money to the Rich…who rightly lost their shirts…
We don’t want to bail out the rich…
The irony is…you do! Talk about compartmentalization of inconsistency…your rhetoric (ad nauseam) is against the rich….and its we who are for them…but is YOU and your idol Obama, who are giving the rich BILLIONS of our money…
The reason why you aren’t a hypocrite liar exploiter of the poor, a willing tool of the ruling elite…is because you are too stupid to know you are being used by them…like a moonbat, you are a loon barking at the moon, no one knows why, least of all, you.
#42 Darjeeling, you asked me a question, “have I done my homework?” I answer, “Yes.”
Now I ask you a question:
“Has your liberal education taught you anything that flea couldn’t master?”
Alfred1
Democrats and Independents…they were protesting
lets see your facts from any nonpartisan pool of those in attendance
Just because you or your FoxRush media demigods say some thing doesn’t make it so.
If you can post a link to prove that you are just typing out some form of personal narcissism.
‘its spending their money without our consent…not taxation without representation per se, a modern, sick form of that…”
new assignment look up (Representative Democracy) You live in one should be easy

The tea parties weren’t union organized events around a single issue…people showed up on their own…each had an issue that was paramount…but the general theme was AGAINST THE BAILOUTS….
Ironic the party supposedly for the poor, is giving BILLIONS of our money to the rich, MAKING US POOR.
It is that simple…and that’s why the Obama media, the tool of the rich, is misrepresenting us…
WE are against the rich…Obama & Crew are their lackeys…
Democrats should have told Bush/Paulson/Benarnke “screw you” when they asked to give billions to the rich…
But they couldn’t…they also were bought and paid for…
You moobats are so easily misdirected…when we say stop impoverishing us by giving our money to the rich…Obama’s Media points to Bush and you, like a moonbat, begin barking at Bush, completely oblivious to how easily you are manipulated..

“Just because you or your FoxRush media demigods say some thing doesn’t make it so.”
Sorry all links that start with Fox or that link to Fox/Rush personalities are exempt from belief.
Got any thing from Politico, BBC, Gallop, ect.?
And we need a percentage not one or two that claim to be Democrats on camera/mic. If they are real Democrats just one or two won’t do it that would be like a gay or non white face caught on camera at a GOP rally.
we are still waiting …

Let’s see some independent verification of D vs R at those meetings, not anecdotal stories.
And haven’t you figured it out yet, Alfie? The Republicans are and have been for a long time the party of the rich. Bush’s tax cuts for the rich added god knows how much to the national deficit and put our country into a huge hole. If McCain had been elected, even more money would have been flowing to the big bankers. You wingnuts mindlessly bash Obama for every single thing he does. By doing that you’re only making the party of the rich (the Republicans) stronger. So you’re either clueless idiots who just don’t understand what the parties stand for, or you’re Republican hacks who really don’t believe your own populist bullsh*t. Either way, you’re making things worse.
Or go ahead, be my guest… try to argue with a straight face that McCain, bought and paid for by the rich Republicans, would have been harder on the banks. Go ahead, it should be good for a few laughs…
#49 There you go again, barking at Bush…irrationally…its Obama and & crew who are giving the Rich BILLIONS in bailout money, impoverishing us all.
I’ve dealt with cults…yours manifests a level of brainwashing second to none.
Bush, no matter how evil he is (in your mind), is not the one who has you bent over the hood of a car….
Obama is.
While you rail at Bush, foaming at the mouth, you, your children, your grandchildren, are giving your wealth to the uber rich.
Focus on that.
Actually, its quite masterful…get the candidate who will push very loon button…and use him to rip off the US Treasury…redistribute the wealth, from the US and its people, to a small group of ULTRA RICH…
THE GNOMES OF ZURICH or (substitute your own label)
350 BILLION of TARP money is unaccounted for…a very large chunk was LAUNDERED through AIG…it went OVERSEAS…
While THEY (president, most of congress, both houses) ARE RIPPING you off…you bark at BUSH…
that will show them!
OK Alfie, you refuse to acknowledge the tax cuts to the rich that Bush gave. And all the ways the Republicans favor the rich. I get it… maybe you were molested by a Democrat when you were a child.
Anyone who thinks the Democrats favor the rich more than the Republicans just isn’t in touch with reality, but you have amply demonstrated that characteristic.
#52 Its irrational you rail at Bush (who is playing golf, not hurting you at all), while Obama (Bernanke, Geithner) Pelosi, Reid, ARE IMPOVERISHING YOU…
Anyone who ignores they are getting ripped off, to focus on alleged BUSH crimes, is a nut.
A cultist.
Only a cultist, drunk with kool aid, will let the Government STEAL their money and give it to the rich…RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEIR EYES…
I hesitate to ask a wingnut a serious question, but… Alfie, you think we would have been better under McCain? He was in bed more than Obama with the big money boys. You really think he’d have been better than Obama?
And can you explain the rationale that Obama has given for spending so much money, Alfie? Do you even know what their reasoning is? Or do you just assume that Democrats are EEEEEVIL???
#55
Explain why Obama hasn’t investigated where the 350 BILLION in missing tarp money, went?
Explain why other BILLIONS are unaccounted for, and why they refuse to tell us where it went.
Why is Obama silent on this?
Explain that…a rational answer…if you have one, I will reconsider the tea party’s belief we are being ripped off, against our will.
You didn’t answer my first question, Alfie… do you think McCain would have been better?
#55 PS… I once was a Democrat…in fact, when Bill Ayers was throwing bombs, i was radical enough to agree with him…although I never participated in any such violence myself…
#57 You have drunk the kool aid…not me.
You are easily misdirected away from the people who are robbing you, not me.
Give me a reason why Obama isn’t investigating (very publicly),where the missing 350 BILLION is, for starters…
Then we can discuss the OTHER BILLIONS that are missing…
That’s not stimulus…its not bailout…its theft.
OK Alfie, no straight answer to a simple question. Thanks anyway.
