Ok, We Knew It Was Going To Happen, But This RW Terrorism Needs To Be Adressed PRONTO

[Beetwasher]

And I hold the Repubs and the media accountable.

Don't you just love how the media wants to cover every negative story and negative criticism about the bill, so they interveiw all these vile republicans using hyperbolic language about it, they cover these tiny, vitriolic tea bagger protests that are filled w/ hate and violent imagery; they breathlessly report how HCR is going to negatively impact you...

And yet, they are not, or are hardly covering this violence that is the result of their propoganda. This terrorism that is a direct result of their vile spew. They want to cover the story of the protestors but NOT WHAT THE PROTESTORS ARE ACTUALLY DOING. Not THIS violent aspect of the anti-HCR terrorist movement. This is the biggest part of the story. These unbalanced freaks are resorting to TERRORISM. And I guarantee you, it's only going to get worse and escalate, because the scumbags responsible are getting away with it.

The actual unbalanced nutbags that are carrying out these terrorist acts are only partly responsible. I hold Repubs and the corporate media, with few exceptions, to be equally responsible.

1. You're absolutely correct..it is the "media"..not just

the hateradio and hatemongers like palin, beck, limpbaugh, etc, ad infinitum.

[quiet.american]

2. Well said. It was the MSM legitimizing this crap as "angry populism" that has taken it this far.

These are the same pieces of work we saw piling into Palin/McCain's rallies spewing "Obama is a MUSLIM," and "Obama's a terrorist!," and who could forget "The Crazy Lady," -- "...he...he's an ARAB!"

Haven't seen one MSM yet who has challenged them about just what it is they're "angry" about.

This can't be pooh-poohed away. It has to be addressed.

3. Thankfully it seems to be getting lots of media attention now..

Even on Faux.

Several Dems who have recieved threats are being issued additional security detail as we type.

5. Good! But It Needs To Be The TOP Story, And Covered With At Least As Much Fervor

If they want to cover the anti-HCR nutbags then they can't ignore THIS aspect of that story.

4. I just saw a FB post indicating "Nothing a good hang"n can"t take care of.!!!!!!! "

in reference to this sign:




With this response from the person who posted the photo of the sign:

"Wish the swine would hang his own self! "

[tallahasseedem]

6. The person that made this sign is probably...

on some sort of government program.

8. Probably farm subsidy, since the FB poster lives in Missouri.

7. you are right- they aren't portraying this as wrong, they are

using it when it suits them to garner ratings.

And as teasers... not responsible reporting or 'journalism'.

[Beetwasher]

9. The Biggest Part Of This Story Is That Now These Unbalanced Freaks Are Turning To TERRORISM

You can't cover this story without that aspect of it. It's beyond irresponsible. In fact, one could make the argument it's criminal.

[ejpoeta]

17. then they balk when anyone suggests they are inciting violence. we are just reporting

the news. we aren't telling people to go do this stuff.

[Birthmark]

10. Can you imagine the ratings for a civil war?!

[HughMoran]

11. The media would be pleased if some real violence broke out

Now that would earn them some money!

[Beetwasher]

12. It Already Has Broken Out, But They Don't Connect The Dots

Because they are responsible.

[HughMoran]

13. Nobody's been shot yet

They won't snap out of it until the first person dies and the retribution cycle starts.

[Beetwasher]

14. Not Since HCR Passed You Mean

There's been plenty of RW violence so far, and people killed already.

[Beetwasher]

15. delete

16. The media is being totally complacent. I saw Contessa Brewer earlier interview

some teabag jerk. He basically said that there will always be a couple of crazies in every crowd and she said thank you for your time.

Let's just hope Rachel, Keith, Ed, Randi etc keep talking about it and maybe they can drive the conversation into the rest of the msm.

[BlooInBloo]

18. Obviously you're new to America...

It's not terrorism if you're white. In that case, it's patriotism.

[Phx_Dem]

19. That is exactly what they are RW terrorists.

Wonder how many excuses Wolfie will be making for the terrorists today?

[old mark]

20. It's just beginning from what I see on some of the RW discussion

forums - they are all applauding the Bagger who said the other day that they have about 3% of the firearms in the US, and will be pointing those gun barrels at the politicians who don't get in line.... This was on MSNBC this afternoon. The "news" people seemed a bit confused by this.

I think there will be increasing violence this spring and summer, and more when the GOP loses in November, which they will.

Many on the far right have no wish to avoid violence - they are "waiting for the day" to attack liberals and anyone they feel is a leftist. They are a combination of political crazies, bigots/racists and "religious".
