Kentucky GOP Official: ‘I Feel Like Going Taliban’ On Wall Street Protesters

By Marie Diamond

Covington, Kentucky city commissioner Steve Frank (R) recently took to Facebook to rail against the Wall Street protesters who are spreading across the country. In a post on Oct. 9, he wrote, “Turn out the lights on the Occupiers, I feel like going Taliban on them!!!”

<...>

Frank’s war analogy is a disconcerting reaction to the peaceful protests — as is his comfort comparing himself to Taliban fighters who kill American troops. He is obviously proud to be, in his words, part of the top 1 percent and stands opposed to the 99 Percent movement that is trying to speak for the vast majority of Americans. Although, as civil servant, its highly unlikely that he is actually in the top sliver of American wealth holders.

2. Oh, how fitting

Since you sick motherfuckers have the same goddamn worldview that the Taliban has.

You guys are great allies....both enemies of humanity.

[Mimosa]

3. I've often thought extremist Repubs have a little Taliban in them

I used to hang out at a typical 'conservative' discussion board until the hatred directed at me ('Die, bitch, die!' type of posts directed at me) became too stress inducing. Right wingers have a deep desire to impose fundamentalist 'Christianity' upon this nation. They also hate women and would govern by violent means if they could.

Their ideologies are eerily similar.

Holding our own goddamned country hostage?

Fuck them. FUCK THEM.
