DU thread from '08 re: calls for violence against left

[Cetacea]

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x3790402

1. Rush Limbaugh: "I tell people don't kill all the liberals. Leave enough so we can have two on every campus – living fossils – so we will never forget what these people stood for."

2. Senator Phil Gramm: "We're going to keep building the party until we're hunting Democrats with dogs."

3. Rep. James Hansen on Bill Clinton: Get rid of the guy. Impreach him, censure him, assassinate him."

4. John Derbyshire intimated in the National Review that because Chelsea Clinton had "the taint," she should "be killed."

5. Ann Coulter: "We need to execute people like John Walker in order to physically intimidate liberals, by making them realize that they can be killed, too."

6. Ann Coulter: "My only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times building."

7. Bill O'Reilly: "ll those clowns over at the liberal radio network, we could incarcerate them immediately. Will you have that done, please? Send over the FBI and just put them in chains."

8. Clear Channel radio host Glenn Beck said he was "thinking about killing Michael Moore" and pondered whether "I could kill him myself, or if I would need to hire somebody to do it," before concluding: "No, I think I could. I think he could be looking me in the eye, you know, and I could just be choking the life out -- is this wrong?"


That's just SOME of the spewed filth of the hundreds of incidents where they've advocated violence towards liberals/Democrats, and these are just SOME of the better known repubs doing it - there's hundreds smaller swine of the GOP who've said the same.


There's plenty more of them out there, and even if you can just recall the discussion put it on this thread so we can see it as some people 100% don't believe this goes on, even people on this board.

Here's some other hate -

1. Mel Gibson on Frank Rich: "I want to kill him. I want his entrails on a stick. I want to kill his dog."

2. Fresno City Council Member Jerry Duncan in 2003 wrote in an email that police should "Cap" members of the Human Relations Commission and wrote, "If I had one dirty bomb and I could eliminate all the liberals in Fresno at once." When his comments became public, Duncan said "The response I have gotten from the public on this has been 100% supportive."

3. World Socialist newsletter about how "Republican Right prepares for violence"

4. Shooter/Murderer wanted to "kill liberals who are ruining the country", had books of Hannity and other right wing GOPers who told they were doing such - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_Knoxville_Unitarian_U...

5. Right winger backer and often a TV guest, Ted Nugent calling for violence -

1. Where's the media on THIS story?

If we had an honest media presence, they'd drag up every one of these quotes, and dozens if not hundreds more like them, and ask the speakers, in prime time, how they feel about the results of their speech. Do they think it paid off?

3. Swamp Rat! That's a great one from the past. Years back, I heard John Hagee give what I consider to

be easily one of the most hateful warmongering "sermons" against Muslims that I could imagine seeing on television. Of course, things like that rarely make the news. I love when you post one of your creations! "honorable" campaign must mean something else in McSame's language! And this is nice of the OP to post my journal entry from '08, and there's dozens more threats since then that Faux Analysts and radio talking heads have spoken.

From now on, wherever I go, whenever anyone mentions Sarah, I'm gonna say, "who? oh yeah, her, the lady that incites shootings".

Palin, lest we forget, said Obama 'pals around with terrorists' at her October '08 rally... That woman is a menace to a civil society. What a despicable unapologetic monster she's shown herself to be.

7. Bumper sticker: 'Liberal Hunting Permit'

Hunt and kill at;
Democrat Rallys
Union Rallys
Lesbian Luncheons

ad infinitum

They feel no societal shame because the media is pushing this crap and NOW trying to repress the backlash at their incitement to violence.

10. This is pure hate and violence

11. Those quotes

Show the real problem with modern-day Conservatism...

It dehumanizes Liberals. Simply because we think a different way than they do (at one time it was if you looked a different way) then we have no right to live.

That is what these quotes say. These are not random quotes from just some no-namers on the street. These are quotes from the most prominent leaders of the Conservative movement.

The ideology is inherently violent. I believe that like a religion.
