Are the Republicans inciting actual violence against Obama? »
Posted By Spadecaller 3 months, 3 weeks ago in Political Opinion
The Republicans are stirring up what remains of their base - the craziest, angriest, most extremist elements of the far right - and they're trying to convince them that the big bad black man is trying to turn their country into Nazi Germany.

Fantasizing the assassination of the President is becoming commonplace rhetoric by among some right wing pundits in the media. The murder of Dr. Tiller was the beginning of right wing terrorism? The murder of the security guard in the holocaust museum and the death of the 5 police officers are not just isolated incidents. The atmosphere of hate mongering in the media is producing dangerous results.

Hate mongering on Fox News and shock jock radio hosts enables domestic terrorism and the incitement to kill and to commit hate crimes are escalating in this country.

Not only are they continuing their dangerous campaign to stir up hate, they are trying to put a smiley face on the front of it. Trying to act like victims here, which they aren't. Trying to use the Boston tea party as a front to vile hate and racism. It's sad that they don't realize that the campaign for President is over. These people are still in campaign mode. They had the audacity to ask for equal TV air time with the President not too long ago. This delusional hate and lies campaign has to be exposed for what it is. Plain old sour grapes and the fear of a Black President enflamed by an ideological backdrop of radio hosts, bloggers, Tv networks, corporations, and newspapers. Thanks for the article Spade, we have to keep exposing them everytime they find a new nest to hide.

The Service Employees (SEIU), the largest union in the Change to Win federation, voted at their June 2–4 convention in San Juan, Puerto Rico, to spend $85 million for the fall campaign to elect Obama and a bigger Democratic majority in Congress.
An additional $55 million will be spent for a legislative campaign to push for creation of a “universal, comprehensive and affordable national health care plan,” according to a union statement issued after the convention.
In a unique move, SEIU voted to spend $10 million to mount campaigns against legislators on any level who go back on promises they have made to the labor movement."
[So the SEIU will mount campaigns against legislators ON ANY LEVEL who decide to vote their conscience instead of promises to the labor movement.
It's about time that the citizens of the United States, union or not, come first when a legislator votes. Sometimes that requires changing one's mind. (like Obama has done on transparency)]

A few months back I wrote and submitted a story about boycotting Fox news for airing hate-mongering rhetoric and listed the companies sponsoring ads on these shows. Since then many other people have followed suit and have sent letters informing FOX News sponsors that they would be boycotting their products. Consequently, the following advertisers have stopped their sponsorship:
Reply
Campbell Soup
Chrysler
General Motors
Kellogg
Kraft Foods
Lawyers.com
Nestle
Pfizer
Proctor & Gamble
Progressive Insurance
Walmart
It works!-

There are numerous examples of intolerable hate speech and incitement to violence. Here are a few:

6/30/09 Glenn Beck agreed with guest who urged bin Laden to attack U.S. with nuclear weapons.
7/25/09 Neil Cavuto and guest said health care reform will impose universal euthanasia like "Soylent Green."
7/28/09 Glenn Beck said "The President has exposed himself as a guy .. who has a deep-seated hatred for white people ... or the white culture... This man is a racist."
8/6/09 Glenn Beck "joked" about giving Speaker Pelosi a glass of wine with poison.

My step-daughter was working for Greenpeace in an action against Kimperly Clark Paper company who was denuding virgin forest to make soft toilet paper, that was about a year ago. She chained herself to the lobby of their headquarters.
Last week, Kimberly Clark announced they have completely changed their policies to adhere to greenpeace suggestions for renewable toilet paper. -

Shame your link has no clips and no real evidence that any of that took place. Nor does it show context, whether or not there was sarcasm involved or anything else that would make it worth looking at. All your link does is spread hatred, misinformation and lies. Imagine that...

In championing the protests being staged at Democratic town halls, the Republican Party faces the obvious danger of becoming defined by the crazier elements of the crowd. So it's hard to imagine GOP higher-ups feeling good about what took place during a protest last week outside the Fort Collins office of Rep. Betsy Markey (D-Colo.).

Nice try. The swastika was crossed out and the sign was implying that the president is leading us down the same road the Nazis took. Again, posting the full story/context would mean you would have no story so you distort the facts. Shame on you.

Very few Republicans actually come right out and advocate violence but most play the game of inflaming their base and pointing them in the direction of the Democrats. That way they have plausible deniability and can continue with their baiting.

There you go rbii change the direction of the debate. Always blame the other guy. We hear all the time from the right about talk radio and how the right wing dominates the airways and how the left can't do the same and how fox noise is the most watched( fake ) news channel in the world. But a few people fed up with you lies and bulling are equal to your right wing noise machine. Now being used to spew HATE. How american.

We all know that the right wing radicals are buying all the guns and ammo they can get there hands on. Is it because they believe that the government is trying to take there guns away or is there more to it? How many American terrorist groups are out there? How many militia groups are out there? Fox noise is pouring gas and a fire they have helped start. How un-american can you be? Maybe beck and company would like to see there country fail too.

The GOP is not receptive to mainstream conservatives, independents, and swing voters because they continually bow to the angriest and most extreme members of their party.
Reply
The amount of hate mongering emanating from their most ardent supporters are alienating most Americans. The polls support that hypothesis, as well. Only the extreme wingnuts like the ones here on Propeller who defend these nutjobs are representing the Republican party.
When Senator Martinez from my state (Florida) crossed party lines to vote in favor of Judge Sonia Sotomayor's confirmation, the writing on the wall became more evident. Unlike Arlen Specter who switched parties after realizing that the GOP's platform no longer represented him, Martinez decided to drop out entirely.
I suspect that many mainstream conservatives can no longer in good conscience support a party that is now supporting hate mongering and incitement to violence. It is clear that moderate conservatives do not see a home in the GOP as it is now expressing itself.
However it is the silent and more moderate conservatives who are failing to speak out against these Kooks that are largely responsible for allowing the party to be hijacked. -

Former President Bush destroyed our country, credibility, and seriously damaged our legal system. We are just now recovering from that. I don't recall the film dramatization you are referring to. I just think Bush and Cheney committed war crimes and crimes against our Constitution. They should be put on trial, even if it's on foreign soil.

They just showed a few planted people "shouting down" constituents who came to have a discussion. They said that they are so stupid they don't even know what they are shouting. It's pathetic, but you never know when one of these Bush nut lickers might get violent.

Due to the extremely biased and partisan reporting by Fox News shows including The O'Reilly Factor, Hannity, Fox & Friends, etc., there is a strong public stance against supporting sponsors of these shows.

11 advertisers have recently cancelled their FOX ads: Campbell Soup, Chrysler, General Motors, Kellogg, Kraft Foods, Lawyers.com, Nestle, Pfizer, Proctor & Gamble, Progressive Insurance, and Walmart. NexisLexis-owned Lawyers.com, Proctor & Gamble and Progressive Insurance -- today distanced themselves from Beck. LexisNexis pulled its advertising from Beck and says it has no plans to advertise on the program in the future.
Both Proctor & Gamble and Progressive Insurance called the Beck advertising placements an error that they would correct.
The decision by the three companies comes as over 45,000 ColorofChange.org members call on advertisers to pull their ads from Glenn Beck after the controversial news host called President Obama a "racist" who "has a deep-seated hatred for white people" on "Fox & Friends" last week.

The 60s radicalism of the left gave rise to Nixon and later Reagan. The radical left spent a lot of time disrupting meetings, marching and rallying. The radical ideas of Barry Goldwater became mainstream rhetoric and birthed the hatred we now see emanating from the new-age conservatives who missed the 60s.

The right is now out of control; no direction home, no platform, no ideas, only hatred and violence. I was in a small town coffee shop not too long ago when I heard one farmer shout across the room to another farmer, "Someone ought to kill that black bastard."
Something needs to be done to stem this tide of reactionary insanity or history will react.-

These are the most ridiculous comments I have ever read anywhere in my entire life. The only people who seem to fantasize about assassination and other violence are liberals. I hang out with conservatives and never have heard the word in those surroundings. Only when I get on these crazy loony-tune blog sites do I hear about all the "assassination" inciting and all the "conspiracies" - and it is NEVER the conservatives who bring it up.
Reply
I'll tell you who is inciting. These elected politicians who are leaving tread marks on the backs of their constituents are the ones who are inciting. Just because people would like to preserve one teeny bit of their own country from a bunch of power mad socialists who wouldn't spit on you if you were on fire, does not mean they have any idea of assassination. It means they are darned MAD and won't take it lying down any more, but only in a liberal's mind does that equate assassination.
Let me tell you about conservatives and their anger. I am one and can speak with authority. I despise the socialist movement to take over my country - but I don't want them dead, for crying out loud - I much prefer to see them suffer. I much prefer to best them. I much prefer to show them for the imbeciles they are. The greatest damage that can be done to a politician is to render him a non-person and forever exempt from public life. No more rallies, no more jet-setting, no more TV cameras, no more townhalls, no more of the "good life" that low-lifes like that love.
Who knows, though? If you liberals keep pumping up the steam on assassinations, you just might be able to dredge one up. Then you can feel the power that you now have the need for but do not have. Sick bunch of sisters. Nobody wants to kill anybody - thinking people just want to believe they are being represented in our democratic republic, and they know they are NOT.-

Suffer you wingnuts, your party is in disarray and it has no new or workable ideas but does have one thing going for them - suppressed seething anger because you lost the election. Your party had eight years to work their magic on our government and they nearly destroyed our nation. You wingnuts are a vile, nasty breed of pitbulls with or without lipstick.

Wow! You read my mind and posted it on propeller, couldn't agree with you more. Everytime Obama steps in doo-doo, they start in on the assassination BS. I do think some of the lefty wing-nuts are soooo disappointed in Obama they would rather see him dead than fail, as he so clearly seems to be doing. That way he can be a martyr rather than the worst president in the history of this country.
As for me and my house, I would hate for anyone to harm Obama. I want history to show him for what he truly is, a wanna-be tyrannt and statist, nowhere near a saint who gave up his life for the "cause".
