I don't read it that way. I read it as they plan to go ahead with the patrols. Their serious.

I realize this is an opinion board, but do you anything to back up your statement that this is only a publicity stunt, anything that contradicts this groups stated intentions to actually defend the border.

And what makes freepers thinks they won't be "waco'd" now? Ashcroft has already shown his ineptness and his predisposition to adhere to the policies of the former AG. Exactly what confidence can freepers hold that Bush won't do the same thing as Clinton with respect to citizen militias?
