Woman Says Keith Olbermann Good Assassination Target. Asks He Be Stopped
Caligula. JFK. Anwar Sadat. Martin Luther King, Jr. Medgar Evers. Benazir Bhutto. John Lennon. Bobby Kennedy. Sam Cooke. Abraham Lincoln. Marvin Gaye. Indira Gandhi. George Tiller. Malcolm X. All killed by a crazy person.

What a waste, especially since there are so many good targets still out there. Take Keith Olbermann.
In the wake of yesterday's horrific shooting of a young congresswoman, the Devil himself who walks among us in the form of a TV "journalist" has decided that Sarah Palin and the Tea Party are responsible and is spreading his usual vitriol.

Please, won't somebody stop him?

4. We should take a cue from Canada on this one
You can say whatever you like, so long as what you're saying doesn't promote violence against any group or individual. Simple, easy to understand and shuts down 90% of the right-wing hate machines.

21. Thank you. We need a law like that.
The problem is the right wing power players, meaning media and politicians, can say whatever they damn please. However, if it's a left winger, they are told to shut up. They are out of line. They are being unprofessional. Sometimes they are arrested. Witness what went on at the Republican National Convention when many journalists were arrested for trying to cover the news.

13. What would you do if it was your neighbor, and he was telling it was *you* he wanted to see shot?
Defend his right to free speech, or notify the proper authorities that your next-door neighbor told you he wants you dead?

9. He just tweeted about it. So he knows. But the right wing simply do not get it
her post requesting Keith be assassinated because her beloved Tea Party is being rightly questioned just highlights the right's insanity. I'm beyond perplexed by them.

10. I'm perplexed too.
Insisting they're not violent by threatening violence is crazy.

I am glad Keith knows about it.

19. I did that as soon as I read the entry
I hope others do too.

Calling for the assassination of anyone is wrong. And she just made Keith Olberman's point.

11. Pelosi
Edited on Sun Jan-09-11 04:38 PM by Locrian
1: She cant write for shit.
2: check out her post from Jan 8



Nancy Pelosi knew just what to do. Back home in San Francisco, she said to an assembled crowd, "We are all very prayerful for those who lost their lives. Let's have a moment of silence for them."

Makes you wonder two things: Why is it still so easy to purchase a gun in this country, and how come nobody ever took a shot at Pelosi?

15. this crosses the line into incitement to violence
by asking "won't somebody stop him" she is soliciting violence against a specific person. I hope she is arrested and charged. Her remark is related SPECIFICALLY to a shooting of a public figure.

her situation differs from Palin in that Palin didn't actually suggest picking up a rifle - she used political rhetoric with implied violence.

I read that some have already contacted the FBI and police. I hope this is true.

17. "Devoted wife. Loving mother." What's her FR handle?
Edited on Sun Jan-09-11 04:56 PM by AspenRose
What some people won't do for attention. She's what's wrong with this country.

And why do people insist on using VIOLENCE to solve problems? Because they can't critically think? Because facts ruin their arguments? Because if they thought and researched facts they'd no longer have a legitimate reason to HATE? :think:

Seriously, if you guys want to get your hate on, do it on some deserted island away from innocent bystanders and leave the rest of us alone. You and your 13 blog followers.

18. Freepers, Republicans, Tea partiers....
Love VIOLENCE. They Love the thought of killing liberals and Democrats. They show up with their weapons at their side, saying "Next time we start shooting". They have people on the radio and TV~ Bill O'Reilly, Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, Michael Savage, and others who actively promote this kind of thinking.

At some point this has to stop. At some point, we have to say enough is enough.

31. Sadly, it's back with this...
Does anyone have any spare clues they can lend this idiot?

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

If you came here in search of my earlier post that got Keith Olbermann's panties in a knot--and who knew he has so much time on his hands--it's gone. I also deleted any post that contained any content that could possibly be offensive to anyone who doesn't understand satire, lacks a sense of humor, is fat, or is one of my wonderful husband's asshole relatives, who by the way possess all of those qualities.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Yeah, ha ha, it was just a joke...

:grr:

29. I didn't know pacifists advocated for violence.
"I don't want to give money to the Marines or their families, I am a pacifist, and who gives a hoot if there is a 9/11 memorial anywhere, as if we need to commemorate that horror with a bunch of benches, and I am so tired of hearing about the poor rain-soaked Haitians, I could scream!"

What a peach. :eyes:

I think she thinks she's Ann Coulter or Laura Ingraham or something.
