Does anyone want to expound on why this is such a "terrible" idea?

Because Adam Kokesh is behind it for starters. Kokesh is an anti-war loon.

Here is a pretty good article from Malkin explaining why this guy should be avoided:

From the article:

The last two incidents involved an IVAW member named Adam Kokesh. He marched in uniform in mock patrols for the anti-war movement, paraded around holding an upside-down American flag (see Jonn Lilyea for more), was arrested for defacing signs, and traveled to Germany to urge soldiers to abandon their posts and seek aid and comfort with his anti-war minions.

Another reason it’s a terrible idea is because Ron Paul supports it.

Leaving personalities aside, is the idea of an armed march on the treasonous capital such a bad idea for a group of people whose rights are daily being stolen?

Yes, I know it's incendiary. Yes, I know it's provocative. Yes, I know it directly challenges the latter-day Gestapo to do something about it.

But maybe that's what it's come to. And maybe this is the last chance we'll get.

I doubt the Minutemen did so much navel-gazing when the British marched on Concord. They grabbed their guns and manned the barricades. It may very well be time we do the same.

If not now, soon ...

Kokesh is a lying, treasonous sack of turds. I wouldn’t follow him into a bar serving free beer, much less an armed march. He’s an assclown and deserves derision and scorn.

Besides being a certified leftwing nutcase, he will give the left the example they are looking for to ban weapons. See the 2010 Michelle Malkin article at the link:
