Battle Plans: a friend of mine sent me this — a call to action from J.J.Johnson, a spokesperson for the radical right, who feels he’s watching a coup d’etat by Clinton forces determined to steal the election from its rightful winner and stay in power unjustly. He lays out the plans for “freedom fighters” to oppose it. Scary stuff; read on and wonder, with me, how many people will feel similarly, and how many will listen to them. My friend said: ” If Gore wins

through a recount, the militia movement will grow radically, but mostly

they will gripe. If Gore wins through a court decision, then God help us

all – these guys will make McVeigh’s hit look like a practice run.”
