Apparently from an interview in Africa…
AP reporter Ramona Darlington, who attended the conference asked President Obama to explain what the profile of an American domestic terrorists is? Obama responded by saying,“Typically domestic terrorists in the U.S. are people who cling to obsolete beliefs from the time of the American Revolution. They are conservative Christians, reactionary Republicans and conspiracy theorists many of whom belong to racist hate groups.”
“Tea Partiers commonly own guns and stock up ammunition and food in anticipation of starting another civil war to overthrow the will of the governing body who represent all of the American people. We are prepared for any contingency and don’t expect to see any kind of large insurrection. Americans are capitalists who are much more interested in seeing America move forward. These terrorists groups are small in size and really present little danger,” the President added.
Anybody have a clue as to the veracity of these comments??? If they are true, puts a LOT of what’s been happening in context… Just sayin…
Donald Sensing says it’s bogus: http://senseofevents.blogspot.com/2013/07/bogus-obama-quote-circulating-dont-be.html
Or maybe Dan Rather was right and it’s fake but accurate…
Most likely it is invented like the whole “Germans never attacked us before WW II” thing.
I’ve only seen it as blog posts and commentary. None have a respected(tm) news source as it’s actual source. I can’t imagine FOX wouldn’t be blaring this as the opening to their newscasts if it were true.
Well, it may not have been said at a News Conference, but I’m SURE there was a Staff Meeting during this regime…
That sounds made up just to get this crowd going and let us make fools of ourselves. He’d really be stupid to say something like that knowing it will get around with him and Dirty Harry about to try for another round of gun control.
Maybe his teleprompter is channeling his inner thoughts? Just saying.
Actually I’m glad to find out it’s bogus… Thanks folks.

The reason we have to fact check it is because it’s credible enough that he MIGHT say it. When you consider the IRS Scandal, it’s not crazy to be wary of the Commander-in-Chief, Nobel Laureate and Leader of the Free World.
It’s what he’d LIKE to say, and probably thinks. And I think it IS true that they’ve been saying that Tea Partiers are a greater terrorist risk than Islamists.
LL- Yep, that is why I asked if anyone could VERIFY this… Because it’s not ‘that’ crazy… sigh…
PH- Probably…
Both sad and scary!
gfa
Glad it’s fake… would hate to think that believing in the Constitution would brand someone as a terrorist.
Yeah, it’s bogus…but I wouldn’t be surprised it if turned out to be true.
That he said it, fake. That he believes it, ?
GUILTY AS CHARGED!
And damn proud of it!
All- Thanks for the comments

If he didn’t say it I know its in his heart and true. Stock up more.
Blame- Good point!
