Oh my. And nothing good can come from this-----there MUST be a police presence given the rhetoric involved. 
Hundreds of doofi fully armed, and some dimwit with a loaded gun will "feel threatened by them tree huggin', gun takin', liberal speekin', gummint folks" and shoot off a few rounds. Craziness ensues.  It feels like a post-apocolyptic movie I'm sure I've seen before. Perhaps this nutjob should just be arrested now? Seems he is skating  very close to threats to the federal government? Perhaps even to insurrection? Of course, that would just fuel the TeaBaggers and the other anti-government CULTS.....

They arrest kids for "sexting" and this guy can foment anarchy and get away with it? I'm gobsmacked, frankly.....

  Adam Kokesh Plans 'Open Carry March On Washington,' Protest With Loaded Guns On July 4
  By ZOE MINTZ | MAY 06 2013 12:02 PM
  Fireworks won’t be the only form of explosive seen on July 4.

  Libertarian radio host Adam Kokesh has organized an “Open Carry March on Washington,” which he describes as “an act of civil disobedience” in which he and thousands plan to protest in Washington, D.C., with loaded guns.

  “We will march with rifles loaded and slung across our backs to put the government on notice that we will not be intimidated and cower in submission to tyranny,” Kokesh writes on the event’s Facebook page.

  So far, more than 1,400 are listed as attending with more than 30,000 people invited.

  The protest will go from Arlington National Cemetery to the Capitol, the Supreme Court and the White House.

  “There's a remote chance that there will be violence as there has been from government before,” Kokesh writes, urging attendees to submit to arrest without resisting.

  “We are truly saying in the subtlest way possible that we would rather die on our feet than live on our knees.” Kokesh later posted in an update saying there will be “coordination with D.C. law enforcement prior to the event.”

  Facebook comments on the event’s page vary.

  “Haven't seen this many pissed-off liberals since they canceled the last Jewel concert!” Leon Weatherby writes.

  “Almost 4,000 people have died from gunshots since 20 children were butchered, some with up to 11 bullets in their little corpses. What will you misguided psychopaths do to honor them on your stupid march?” Patrick Timothy posted.

  This isn’t Kokesh’s first time causing controversy in the nation’s capital.

  In 2007, the former Marine was given a general discharge after the Washington Post published a photograph of him in uniform with other veterans on a mock patrol during an anti-war protest, Fox News reports.

  Four years later, Kokesh led a flash-mob protest at the Jefferson Memorial where he and four others were arrested.

  A once prominent support of Ron Paul, Kokesh was later banned from the presidential candidate’s events after criticizing empty seats at one of Paul’s events.

  "We respect Adam’s service, but he's a very troubled young man. We just hope he can get his life together," Jesse Benton, Ron Paul’s campaign manager, told Reason.com .

    2010 congressional campaign 

    “In 2010, Adam Kokesh attempted to unseat Democratic representative Ben Ray Luján in New Mexico's heavily Democratic 3rd congressional district running as a libertarian-oriented Republican.[29] Kokesh received mostly out-of-state money,[29] support from Ron Paul,[30] and an endorsement from the Republican Liberty Caucus, the organization that represents the libertarian wing of the Republican Party.[31] Kokesh's opponent in the New Mexico GOP primary was Tom Mullins[32] to whom he lost.[33]

    Adam vs. The Man 

    Beginning in July 2010 Kokesh hosted a talk radio program called Adam vs. The Man which aired weekdays from the studios of 1550 KRKE in Albuquerque, New Mexico.[34] In April 2011 his show was picked up by Russia Today television network ("RT").[35] Accuracy in Media criticized Kokesh's appearing on RT, a non-profit organization which largely is funded by the Russian government.[36] The group wrote that RT uses Americans like Kokesh to make propaganda points.[37] David Weigel writes that Kokesh defended RT's "propaganda" function, saying "We're putting out the truth that no one else wants to say. I mean, if you want to put it in the worst possible abstract, it's the Russian government, which is a competing protection racket against the other governments of the world, going against the United States and calling them on their bullshit."[38]

    In a June show Kokesh endorsed support and fundraising for Ron Paul's 2012 presidential campaign, leading to a complaint to the Federal Election Commission charging a political contribution had been made by a foreign corporation. Kokesh denied his cancellation in August was related to the complaint.[39]

    Kokesh has continued his Adam vs. The Man video reports independently on YouTube, noting he was "fired from my only radio and TV gigs."[40] On the channel he has filed some critical reports of the "Occupy DC" version of the Occupy Wall Street movement.[41”

    -------------------------------------



    On the morning of July 4, 2013, Independence Day, we will muster at the National Cemetery & at noon we will step off to march across the Memorial Bridge, down Independence Avenue, around the Capitol, the Supreme Court, & the White House, then peacefully return to Virginia across the Memorial Bridge. This is an act of civil disobedience, not a permitted event. We will march with rifles loaded & slung across our backs to put the government on notice that we will not be intimidated & cower in submission to tyranny. We are marching to mark the high water mark of government & to turn the tide. This will be a non-violent event, unless the government chooses to make it violent. Should we meet physical resistance, we will peacefully turn back, having shown that free people are not welcome in Washington, & returning with the resolve that the politicians, bureaucrats, & enforcers of the federal government will not be welcome in the land of the free.



    There's a remote chance that there will be violence as there has been from government before, and I think it should be clear that if anyone involved in this event is approached respectfully by agents of the state, they will submit to arrest without resisting. We are truly saying in the SUBTLEST way possible that we would rather die on our feet than live on our knees. 



    You are welcome to attend unarmed as a supporter, or armed with a recording device.



    We especially invite law enforcement officers to stand with us armed however they feel is appropriate.



    If this page gets to 10,000 attendees by June 1st, & we have the critical mass necessary to pull this off, (1,000 actual attendees) we will march. Please spread the word, share this event, & invite all your friends.
