Lee Fang of ThinkProgress offers "Right-Wing Conference Tells Activists To Get Their Guns Ready For ‘Bloody Battle’ With Obama The Nazi" (link). Fang continues ThinkProgress' long habit of lying, and in this case it's especially despicable.
Austrian native Kitty Werthmann appeared at the How To Take Back America Conference and compared the various actions of the Obama administration to the actions taken by the Nazis in their rise to power and suggested that people buy more guns and ammunition. However, she did not - as Fang suggests - promote any sort of "bloody battle". That battle was her suggestion of what Austrians would or should have done; she wasn't encouraging violence against the administration: compare the title of Lee Fang's post to what she says on the video he links to (link). And, note that the video is from ThinkProgress itself and has been edited at key points, perhaps to remove statements that would further weaken Think Progress' smear attempt.
