scary blog on violence against libs |
|
From: dneiwert.blogspot.com
<snip>
"I've been talking for some time about the course that eliminationist rhetoric on the right would eventually take by the force of its own nature: pretty soon we'd go from talking about liberals as traitors to overtly wishing for violence to be visited upon them and discussing locking them up, followed in due course by such violence and incarceration becoming a reality.
"Well, it is now becoming a commonly spoken sentiment on the right to wish for violence against liberals and to simultaneously suggest they and all "traitors" (including Muslim Americans) should be locked away. We're firmly into Phase II now.
"Now, you won't hear this talk on the upper levels of the conservative movement. People like William Bennett will call for a "national renewal" aimed at enforcing a new moral code, while Ann Coulter will explain to her readership, a la the title of her most recent "bestseller", that the "preferable" way to address a liberal is with "a baseball bat."

There's a lot more.

5. most of the ones I know are of the mistaken belief that we are a bunch of |
|
pansies and pantywaists and other 'p' words.
Just because most of us try to not be aggro-violent meatheads and choose to use our brains, they will underetimate us time and time again.

7. They only THINK they want to mess with me. |

I don't intimidate. If they want to get physical, they would look sillier than they did on CSPAN today.

8. It's about time people started recognizing and talking about this |
|
I've been talking about the violent trend and hate speech coming from the Right, and I usually get the "that will never happen here" kind of response. WRONG! It IS happenning here. This is where it starts. The propaganda that the Right is feeding its lackey supporters tells them that everyone who is not "one of them" is actively trying to keep them down, because they are the True Americans. Feed people enough of that "we're superior but our enemies are keeping us victims" and they will take to the streets. We can't afford to ignore this.
