On the heels of my "Home-Grown Fuckheads" post comes this lovely news item from yesterday :
Gunman Kills Top Arkansas Democrat (evil librul) Arkansas Democratic Chairman Bill Gwatney Shot Three Times In Party Headquarters.
Gee -- where have we heard this story before?
The Anthrax attacks in 2001 targeted then Democratic leaders (evil libruls) Tom Daschle and Patrick Leahy and mainstream (evil librul) news outlets. Coincidence?
A gunman opens fire in a Unitarian Universalist (more evil libruls) church, while children are singing in a choir, killing and wounding several parishioners. Right-wing, liberal bashing reading materials from hate-mongers Michael Savage, Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly are later found in the killer's home.
A 2005 U.S. News & World Report article documented approximately (60) right-wing terror plots that had been foiled over the 10 year span since the right-wing bombing in Oklahoma City in 1995 which killed 168 innocent men, women and children. Many of these plots were designed to cause mass human carnage on the scale of the Oklahoma City killings.
Here are some well known (except by those who choose to turn a blind eye and ear) and well documented quotes from right-wing heros and mainstream media stars:
"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." (Rush Limbaugh)
Or
"My only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times building." (Ann Coulter)
Or
"I'll tell you who should be tortured and killed at Guantanamo -- every filthy Democrat in the U.S. Congress." (Sean Hannity)
Or
"To fight only the al-Qaeda scum is to miss the terrorist network operating within our own borders ... Who are these traitors? Every rotten radical left-winger in this country, that's who." (Michael Savage)
Of course you need not be a Rhodes Scholar to figure out that the word "kill" along with references to the words/phrases -- "living fossils", "New York Times", "filthy Democrats", "terrorist network ... within our borders", "traitors" -- in these quotes -- are all right-wing code for EVIL LIBRULS.
Gee Inspector Gadget, do you think there's any possible link to the aforementioned murderous events and the instigative, hateful statements on the public airwaves by the right-wing media stars and the subsequent, gleeful promulgation of those murderous statements across the internet and blogosphere by their brain-dead followers?? Hmmmm??
Which leads me to an all-too obvious question.
Can anyone show me the equivalent of a mainstream liberal television or radio pundit, with the stature and following, of a Michael Savage or Sean Hannity or Rush Limbaugh making similar death threats against conservatives? Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, doot-doo-doot-doo-doot-dee-doo (Jeopardy them music plays). Ok. Times up. You can't do it. Hasn't happened. Oh sure you can find similarly vile threatening screeds on obscure internet blogs but nobody reads them - and for good reason. Whereas the words of the Limbaughs, the Coulters, the Savages, the Hannitys, the O'Reillys, the Becks, the Boortzes, ....ad infinitum.... can be found every hour of every day and at any time on just about every radio, cable television and newspaper outlet in this country. And make no bones about it -- these people do represent the mainstream Conservative movement in this country. For if they are not spokespeople for the Conservatives, then where's the public condemnation and repudiation of their hateful statements by the leaders of conservatism? Yeah right -- I rest my case.
And that folks, plainly speaking, is why I will not shut my mouth about these people and will continue to demonize them. For demons, logically observing, are quite deserving of being demonized.
