Jim Gilchrist, founder of the Minuteman Project, has been brought down, not by protestors rushing the stage but by internal strife in his own organization, and is now fighting to regain his power. According to current Minuteman leadership, Gilchrist improperly used the organization’s funds for his own purposes, illegally sent mail at nonprofit rates without filing for nonprofit status, and has not accounted for up to $400,000 in Minuteman funds. According to Gilchrist, bitches set him up. The LA Times reports that Gilchrist accused his accusers of being motivated by “a greed for power and a false perception of an endless stream of money.” Meanwhile, they are upset with their former leader using Minuteman funds to pay his court fees in his case against them. Gilchrist’s replacement? Marvin Stewart, his opening speaker at Columbia. Minutemen: we know they hate themselves, or at least each other. – DHI

@Idiots ‘You stupid protestors, you just gave the Minutemen the publicity and legitimacy they needed to grow and prosper’

@NO! This is a terrible blow to the American democracy! Who will defend us from the illegal Mexican hordes INVADING our precious nation?!

People taking plea-sure in your paaain! o/~
@CML The fact that Gilchrist is actually from a rich-ass town in Orange County affirms what a joke he is. His personal stake in stopping Mexicans from crossing the border is equivalent to mine in resuscitating Chesapeake Bay oysters.
@frumph “Minutemen: we know they hate themselves, or at least each other.”
Mwah.
@Anonymous Someone is going to get a Minuteman knuckle sandwich… watch out Stewart!
