Oath Keepers: Potentially the most lethal and dangerous of all the new 'Patriot' groups | Crooks and Liars:"That's clear from reading Justine Sharrock's in-depth piece on the Oath Keepers for Mother Jones, a must-read.
As Sharrock makes clear, one of the more disturbing aspects of this group is that it has the effect of radicalizing the very people who are supposed to be upholding the law and protecting us from violent extremists:
There are scores of patriot groups, but what makes Oath Keepers unique is that its core membership consists of men and women in uniform, including soldiers, police, and veterans.
At regular ceremonies in every state, members reaffirm their official oaths of service, pledging to protect the Constitution—but then they go a step further, vowing to disobey "unconstitutional" orders from what they view as an increasingly tyrannical government."
