Sign touting Beck's "civilian national security force" conspiracy theory appears in Fox footage of 9-12 protest

September 14, 2009 9:53 pm ET by Media Matters staff

The sign read: "Why does Obama need his own army?? Civilian National Security Force.  Who's the enemy? U.S. Civilians?"  

Previously:

Beck crops Obama to fearmonger about "crazy things" like "civilian national security force"

Beck claims Obama's "civilian national security force" is "what Hitler did with the SS," "what Saddam Hussein" did

        No, they believe they're being American while protesting a president who's been in office for 9 MONTHS!! That's because they use patriotic words like the consitution, freedom, the founding fathers, USA!! USA!! and they know all the words to Lee Greenwood's sappy song.

      I can not believe you had this guy Mark Williams on the show. He was laughable, to hear him talk just hurts my ears, but at the same time it makes me laugh because I can not conceive that you would actually allow this kind garbage on National TV. And these tea parties are been lead by this guy? amazing! I hear these people use the word patriotic, what is so patriotic about it? they use this word so loosely, it sounds good but means nothing! What I see is a bunch of nasty redneck, uninformed, uneducated conservatives that can not accept we have a black President!!! Another idiot such as Limbaugh said there were 2 million protesters when in reality they were only about 60K based on US Park Services. This should no be televised to the magnitude you have based on these numbers. All they are doing is making noise and acting up. They have the right to protest but they don't have the right for name calling and acting uncivilised. The reality is that there is a racist undertone because he is black and if it is not healthcare it will be something else! But I have news for them, America is a diverse country now and God Bless America for that!

      Very sad. I wonder if, after the tea party, the sign-carrier breathed a big sigh of relief, thinking he or she managed to escape capture by Obama's Security Force.
