In response to "
Welcome To The Final Stages Of The Coup..." Larisa Alexandrovna's latest post to Huffington Post, made today, and which concerns the incredlble constitutional sell-out that is the bail-out (latest confirmation of Naomi Klein's "Shock Doctrine" theories), the right-wingers have gone especially loopy. As LaLaRawRaw's piece makes its way around the blog world and the rest of cyberspace, and into email inboxes everywhere, they are attacking her with threats, delusion and dubious reasoning. But I'll let her tell the story with updates:
http://www.atlargely.com/2008/09/right-wing-idio.htmlRight-wing idiot hopes I end up arrested and in a cell...UPDATE AT BOTTOM (1 and 2)
You guys have to read this,
the guy is near ready to call 911 and report me to the secret police for daring to suggest that I fear that there may be a revolution and want everyone to contact Congress and demand no passage of the Coup Wall Street bill (oh, and did I mention that he calls himself the Confederate Yankee?)
"I can only hope the lawful authorities are monitoring such enticements towards insurrection with all due seriousness, and find a nice, well-lit and cheery cell for those who require one."
Enticements? I did not realize I was standing on a street- corner pulling on my fishnet stockings in hopes of starting a revolt. Now let us examine what I actually wrote - I will bold the key points:
As I see it now, we have but two options and I have long alluded to hoping against hope that one of these options would not be the only one left to a peaceful people. The first and frankly most preferable option is for Congress to immediately begin impeachment proceedings against the members of this latest Business Plot.
No time needs to be wasted on hearings as we already now have in writing, formally as presented to Congress, the intentions of this administration to nullify Congressional powers permanently, to alter Judicial powers permanently, and to openly steal public funds using as blackmail the total collapse of the US economy if these powers are not handed over. You do see how this is blackmail, do you not? You do see how this is a manufactured crisis precisely designed to be used as blackmail, do you not?
The other option, the one I have long prayed we would never need to even consider, is a total revolution. But, If Congress won't act in its own self-defense, in the defense of democracy, in defense of us - the people who have elected them to protect us from this very danger - then what is left for us to do? I don't want to see it come down to this, but I fear that it will.
Hmmm, sounds like a massive terrorist plot, right? Oh, and don't forget to contact your members of Congress. Seriously, is this guy taking heroine with his coffee? Which part of "I hope against hope" and "I fear" is an enticement for anything that would require me to be arrested and put in jail? Freedom of speech, a no-no in Confederate Americana. Stop by and tell this guy what you think of his hopes that I end up in prison.
UPDATE 1Looks like the Malkinites are not only unable to actually read, they really don't give a crap that that they are being robbed. In yet another stunning example of willful ignorance, yet another crew member of this bunch - appropriately named
Stop the ACLU (wow, talk about glue sniffing) - agrees that I should be arrested for as well and nearly wets himself at the thought that if enough liberals believed in gun rights, what I suggested (call Congress, asap) would be "scary." Wow, amazing that these people dress themselves in the morning. Oh and by the way, while I do not own a gun or want a gun, I fully support the Bill of Rights (which includes gun rights) unlike the right wing, which ONLY supports gun rights as though the rest of the Bill of Rights did not matter.
And yet even more stunning? Not a one of them can seem to find the time to react to the unlimited power the Executive Branch is demanding. Perhaps they are too busy eating their racist Obama waffles?
UPDATE 2Oh look,
another buffoon joins the parade of idiocy, actually now claiming that I am calling for an insurrection (wow, in a few hours they will be claiming that I armed the rebels, and charging the Bastille). And if you read the comments section of this blog, you will find yet more examples of rabid xenophobia and bigotry.
