After Dyer's rape arrest, 'Oath Keepers' disavow any association with onetime key figure
Gossip Boy -- which has been all over the case of onetime "Oath Keepers" figure Charles Dyer, arrested for the rape of a 7-year-old girl -- is reporting that the leader of the Oath Keepers, Stewart Rhodes, is running away from Dyer as fast as he can.
Rhodes, as you can see in the video from his Oct. 21 appearance on MSNBC's Hardball, tries to project a straight-shooter image, even though the underlying beliefs of the Oath Keepers' "oath" is a swamp of bizarre conspiracies.
So now Rhodes has scrubbed any mention of Dyer from the Oath Keepers site, and is claiming to have had no association whatsoever with him:
“Charles Dyer never became an actual member of Oath Keepers. I met him when he attended our April 19, 2009 gathering at Lexington, and back then I considered him for a position as our liaison to the Marine Corps, but I decided against that when he made it clear he intended to train and help organize private militias across the country when he got out of the Marines. I considered such plans to be incompatible with the Oath Keepers mission and goals, and certainly incompatible with any leadership position within this org. He understood and agreed with my decision to not have him become officially involved with Oath Keepers. All of that was long before we even offered official memberships. So, he was never a member, and never in any leadership position.”
One little problem with this explanation, as Gossip Boy explains, is the evidence from our friends at Google cache:
Yep, that's the same Stewart Rhodes announcing that Dyer would be representing the Oath Keepers at the July 4 Tea Party in Broken Arrow.
Indeed, the reality is that Dyer has been a significant figure for the Oath Keepers all along. His first video, released in March, in fact put the Oath Keepers on the map Internet-wise by going viral.
As we noted, at least Dyer's friends at American Resistance are standing behind him. You can't blame Stewart Rhodes for wanting to cut and run, but he's not exactly helping his cause by being the opposite of forthcoming about it all.
Too late to disassociate from this traitor.
Disassociation and disassembling when one of them is caught is what terrorist cells do.

The terrorist cells in Guantanamo will never be disassembled...
Obama wants to disassociate with Guantanamo and it's cells (for sure) but... Guantanamo, and its chain link terrist cells, will remain.

Kinda of like timothy mcveigh had nothing to do with the militia groups in the 90's, or shawna forde with the minutemen, or scott roeder and and the still unknown killers of bill sparkman had nothing to do with the anti-choice and anti-government movements respectively.

What does this paranoid Oath Keeper nutbag think about the Roberts court decision today giving corporations a bigger voice than he has. His rights are being undermined by fellow right wingers without a shot fired and this idiot is too fucking stoopid to see it.
These people were nurtured under the republicans, and are being stirred up to aid their cause.
It's ironic, the people they listen to, and serve in their sick and misguided attempt to 'save' the country, are the same people who are destroying it.
The only carrot the degenerates following the hate spewing madmen and women have ever needed is permission to hate another group.
If anyone here has read Orwell's '1984', then they should be reminded of the daily practice of "Two Minutes of Hate".
Beck, O'Reilly, and the rest of scum preaching hatred, bigotry and violence on fox are the 'Big Brothers' for the idiot crowd of conservatives, white supremacists, and the other ignorant, mentally substandard, monsters.
I'm concerned for the future of this country... Very concerned.

the RW was okay with the rape thing.
He should have asked what side they were on the Gates incident.

Getting caught every year is damn inconvenient.

Luckily, righties never figure that out.

He appeared in dress USMC uniforms in some of th videos. The web announcment of his speech lists him by rank as if he is active duty.
What were his fitness reports like? What is being done to screen
the military for his likes, who might endanger children on posts like Ft. Hood?
What did his two U.S. Senators know about this man? What did they do about it if they did know? If they did not know, why not?
I don't know if he had a pair, but with a grenade launcher, who needs
fruit?

and how he didn't know Jack Abrahmoff or Ken Lay.
'Tea Baggers'
just different names for stupid, ignorant, angry shitheads, who might rape your children.
If any of them gave a shit about what they pretend to care about,
they would be literally burning down the SC at the moment.
The rape arrest is only confirmation of how crazy these morons are, but their rhetoric is the same as the tea baggers and oath keepers. The only difference is that they didn't commit this crime.
Dyer probably isn't that much of an exception in that organization.
I'm not familiar with the Oath Keepers, but I know about groups like these. Are you saying they're bad because one of their members was arrested and accused of a terrible crime?
Tweety's the one who looks bad in the clip. His agenda is clear so he's as usual not looking to inform, just paint with a big brush of "Craazzyy".
What is the point?
Apparently you are not aware that our military and police forces have been infiltrated by this religiously based secessionist movement. They have sworn an oath that to them supersedes their oath to protect and defend the constitution.
Having a storage unit with explosive residue and raping a child by one of their leaders is indeed newsworthy.
What I'm saying is what is the post trying to say by attaching Tweety's 'interview' with the child rape case? He doesn't even bring it up in the clip. Is it to reinforce how creepy these guys are? Isn't that just guilt by association? If we want to look at what they're about, let's do that.
Isn't that what Tweety's interview is? A look at what Stewert Rhodes and Oath Keepers are all about? Maybe you don't care for Tweety's style, but this is the tact he generally uses when his guests are not forthcoming with answers.
Obviously, you have access to the Internet, why not try and do a little research on your own?
Tweety's style is insulting to one's intelligence. My real problem with how he goes about it is the usual approach of MSM - Everything's fine, and you are a wack job to think otherwise. "black helicopters..." "How many hours a day do you spend..."
Pointless.
In the immortal words of Monty Python - "Run Away, Run Away!"
If YouTube has the evidence, if websites corroborate it, then the membership now knows that their honchos are not capable of keeping their whackjob oath if they can't even keep their stories straight.
Hope that this is the death spasm of their "movement".
littlepitcher - The problem is that there are these looney little groups all over the place. Some of them are harmless but some of them are pretty damn dangerous.
I'll try out these intertubes and see if they'll deliver me the knowledge I seek. I was hoping the media would hand deliver, but I guess I have to work at it now.
Check out this vid - there's extensive footage with Sgt. Dyer, but just before the 7-minute mark he states..."Oath Keepers, that's the organization that I'm a part of..."
