Calling For Violence

by: RealNRH

Sun Mar 21, 2010 at 22:35:56 PM EDT


Not a whole lot of separate text I need to put here. A right-winger has posted to their Twitter account an explicit call for the assassination of President Obama.

Yeah. This is the mindset of the right these days.

RealNRH :: Calling For Violence
The FBI and the Secret Service are investigating, Twitter took down the offensive posts, and lo and behold he's now predictably whining that everyone's being meeeean to him and accusing him of saying exactly what he said.

So when someone on the right says "Oh, that's just some nutjob," just remember - that's what one of them thought he could get away with saying in public. What they say in private is a lot more explicit and a lot more disgusting.

They're actively talking on Free Republic about how 'maybe Tim McVeigh had it right' and re-raising their idiotic birther conspiracies, among other things. It is not time to sit back and let them bluster or let their leaders pretend it's not happening. Rub their noses in the shit they're saying every time or they won't learn.

this kind of story (4.00 / 1)
is why the false equivalency of "the left is just as bad" really irks me.  

Yeah. (0.00 / 0)
It's only in paranoid violent right-wing fantasies that people on the left in this country make the same kind of disgusting comments that they do. Obama gets more death threats in a day than Bush ever got in a week - that's a simple but telling metric.

Only the left protects anyone's rights.

False Equivalency? (0.00 / 0)



"Ill writers are usually the sharpest censors." - John Dryden

the only reason (0.00 / 0)
that you are wound up about false equivalency is because of Petraeus. You're offended that anyone or any group would dare criticize our sacred  military.

You know what I think (4.00 / 1)
Amazing.

I am also quite put off by conservatives that say CSP shouldn't be endorsed by the VFW.
