Our White House and Media Suggest Dem Candidates & Voters are Terrorists |
|
Certain current Leaders in our Government and media are publicly and repeatedly suggesting-- if not outright labeling-- Democrats as traitors and terrorists.
A major US Media outlet recently called a newly-popular Democratic politician "the al Quaeda candidate".
It seems the ruling party wishes to provoke violence in the US, and that certain members of the Administration and Congresss have clearly become unhinged. This is a shocking and dangerous development--agents of the US Government are essentially accusing Democrats of crimes (or of, I guess, plotting crimes....thought crimes?) against the Government and civilians. Treason and terrorism are generally capital offenses, btw.
It's time for us to demand the immediate resignation of these truly subversive extremists.

7. It's been time for their resignation for years |
|
They ain't doin' it yet.
Frankly, I think there really are elements of the Right (pundits mostly) who want to spark violence. It's the ultimate expression of demagoguery. They are where they are only because of extremism and hatemongering, and they won't be able to stay there forever without ratcheting up the hate as much as they possibly can.

11. Hate Radio contributed GREATLY to the recent genocidal massacres n Rwanda. |
|
Look it up sometime: "radio Rwanda genocide"
Do we still have any rights to the airwaves, btw?
What is our recourse against Government sponsored hate speech?
If the US insists on exploring the vigorous prosecution of Thought and Speech Crimes, she must begin with The NeoMcCarthyesque Cabal.

That was also documented well in Hotel Rwanda. They were using radio to inflame the extremists into taking things into their own hands. If it keeps up we'll be looking at our own Kristallnacht. And you're right, it's even worse because the government itself is behind it.

14. THEY'VE SAID AS MUCH., The namecalling is Gov't SANCTIONED. |
|
Calling American citizens NAMES! Incendiary, provocative, slanderous names...traitor...terrorist-sympathizer...
Our Government maligns the Democratic Party, Candidates, and supporters in more blunt, rude, insulting terms than they shoot at the so-called "AXIS OF EVIL".
Really. WTF is wromg with people? The Gov't of the US of A is slandering its citizens. Wholesale Swiftboating the VOTERS!
I am OUTRAGED.

9. This is the same kind of shit... |
|
that they pulled during the 04 elections...they labeled us as traitors, terrorist sympathizers, etc... It's all bullshit...and the American people are waking up to it...even my mom said the other day that she doesn't believe a word of it...they are getting desperate...she even said that she thinks the repukes are through...and she has never said anything like that before...she was once for the war in Iraq...now she knows it's going to be the repukes downfall...
I don't listen that that viatrol bullshit...they are scared because they know that this country has seen through their lies and their incompitence...

17. Heckuva point there. Good news is "us" back then in 2001 was comprised of |
|
10% loony-fringe and most of us were afraid to sound crazy. The wound of 9/11 was too raw then, anyway, and the fancy official narrative had been shoved down everyone's gullets.
Now the stats on "us" versus Duh/Them are what? 50-50? 40-60? WHatever--and growing. Lemme see... L/MIHOP versus superconvergence of bizzare unexplainabale coincidental stuff that just--like shit--happened? LMAO. We aren't THAT stupid.

12. So, are you all going to grumble or are you going to write?? |
|
I wrote twice... once to the pig and once to CNN:
Regarding Chuck Roberts' calling Ned Lamont, the new Democratic primary WINNER in CT "the al-Queda" candidate: Since when does CNN allow such comments on the air? Chuck Roberts' job is to REPORT the news, not call the democratically elected candidate names, which are, in fact, absurd. He needs to be taken off the air and disconnected from Cheney's office immediately. Perhaps there is still hope for him through some sort of decompression, but I thoroughly doubt it. He needs to be fired immediately!! Consider me an EX VIEWER from this point forward. If I wanted to hear the right wing's extreme points of view, I could always choose to tune into FOX news, but I never expected it to be broadcast on CNN. What are you now, the COMPROMISED News Network?
K&R too. I hate this shit
And thank you for the COMPROMISED NETWORK NEWS thingie :)
