GOP candidate Allen Quist: 'Obama, Pelosi, Walz, they're not liberals, they're radicals!'
Allen Quist is one of a bevy of wingnuts lining up to take on Democratic Rep. Tim Walz in Minnesota's 1st District. He's already making appeals to the Tea Party crowd, and now he's taken to channeling Glenn Beck, as you can see from the video above:
Quist: I, like you, have seen that our country is being destroyed. I mean, this is -- every generation has had to fight for freedom. This is our fight! And this is our time. This is it! Terrorism, yes, but that's not the big battle. The big battle is in D.C. with the radicals! They aren't liberals, they're radicals! Obama, Pelosi, Waltz, they're not liberals, they're radicals! They are destroying our country! And people all over are figuring that out.
This was from a mid-December Christmas party for the Wabash County Republicans.
Richard Alan Smith at VoteVets notes that Quist's smear includes Tim Walz, a decorated veteran:
Sergeant Major (Ret.) Walz's service to his country apparently means nothing to Allen Quist, one of the Republicans lining up to challenge Walz in this year's mid-term election. Here is a video of Quist, who has never worn the uniform of his country, telling you that this brave American is a "radical", is more dangerous than a terrorist and is out to destroy the country he served for 24 years...
...
Allen Quist, a politician who has been chasing office since 1982, should be ashamed of himself. A year before Quist began his desperate attempt to become a career politician, the man who's patriotism he attacks put on an Army uniform at the age of 17 and wore it for 24 years, rising to the highest enlisted rank and becoming the highest ranking enlisted soldier in southern Minnesota. A man who has so little respect for the service of America's Veterans has no business serving in Congress.
Yeah, well, the only problem with teabagging Republicans is ... they have no shame whatsoever.
Quist is not a Republican, he's a nutcase!
And Nutcases tend to be Reslugs and Reslugs despise our troops.
If you were a Republican it would drive you nuts eventually. There's a reason momma said "all for me" is a bad philosophy to live by.

Republicans in the previous 8 years of the Bush/Cheney has screwed our military and soldiers with their lack of REAL and HONEST concern for them.. Republicans are all talk and BS when it comes to concern about our military and their well being..
Their equipment was not the best they could have.. Their health care when they came back to the states was cut. They paid the mercenary contractors 10 times the amount given to our soldiers.. They make them serve 2 ,3 , 4 or more tours of duty and then they screw the hospitals in the states (like Walter Reid) with contracting their service and care to contractors which cut the personal by over 200 percent..
Why are the democrats afraid to attack the republicans and like Obama and Emanuel protect them when it comes to their criminal activities in the past 8 years of lies , torture , treason , no-bid contracts and the complete and total destruction of our jobs and economy..
I am starting to believe Obama , Emanuel and the Centrists democrats are republican plants to destroy the democratic party..
They do not have the Guts or backbone to attack them for their lies , deceit , half truths and propaganda on a daily basis..
Lets outsource the incumbents in the coming elections with new REAL democrats in the democratic primary election...
None
This kind of polarization is the most damaging thing I have seen in my life to the political platform. What happened to honest debate over the issues, seems like the new doctrine is...
If you can't use facts, use fear.

Ah yes , using the Goebbels playbook again , just say the opposite of what is true , in other words just lie and keep lying . Needless to say the ones out to destroy this country have already done a pretty good job of it over the last nine years in particular and they are trying desperately to complete their mission .
Insanity , it is what it is , there is no understanding it .
They are not liberals.
They are 'radical' center-right corporatists...
basically, less douche-baggy republicans.
Unfortunately.

Corruption favors the wealthy.
Not like the type of folks who would support Quist.

There are a couple of things going on here:
1. It used to be in America that there were certain things you just didn't say about someone unless you had damned good proof. One of them was that somebody was "destroying the country". It used to be that the cultish, authoritarian hypertribalist types were scattered, so they couldn't out-shout the normal people who are revolted by extremist hatemongering. Unfortunately, since the Republican Party has been able to consolidate the American authoritarian population into its ranks, they now have a reliable base of slavish "truthiness" fans who would rather immerse themselves in in-group loyalty than admit they might be wrong on any given issue.
In other words, it used to be that you couldn't be a hatemonger during the campaign or in public, because you came off the wrong way. Now, Republicans can get away with it because they have a base of fans who will support them JUST BECAUSE THEY'RE REPUBLICANS. It's no coincidence that they worship a man whose 11th Commandment was (essentially) "Put Party Before Country".
2. The other thing that kept politicians relatively civil was that the media would starkly report on such things and engage in (relatively) robust journalism. If you lied, you got caught. If you dithered, you were pressed. Watch old "Meet the Press" footage and weep.
Today, since the media is a toothless corporate tool for selling ad space, there's no reason in the world to risk "access" by actually engaging in potentially irritating journalism.
(This is in addition to the impoverishing, terrorizing and "idiocratizing" of average Americans.)
In other words, today's Republican enjoys an environment of unparalleled fertility for extremist, authoritarian fearmongering and deceit. Why wouldn't those with the socipathic personality necessary to take advantage of this situation do so?
So True. We live in poltically dangerous times.

Very good.
If I were a psychopath, I would join the republican party, and get in on the gravy train taking the Teabircher morons to the cleaners.
The Republican has come to the end of his road.

Well he's half right; they're not liberals. If he could just do something about his wrong half...
That's what I was saying in the last thread, it will be interesting how far tea bagging candidates get and how many of them there are in the coming races. They say, "No pain, no gain". With republicans like this guy, we should say, No brain, no shame. Are the republicans going to distance themselves from these whack jobs or do they have to snuggle up and coo with them?
Beck is back tonight reheating his old rotten hash of the last eleven months and waiting for someone from the white house to call him to tell him he's full of shit. I would call him if I had the number.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
I love the "they're destroying our country" crap. It's OUR country too numbnuts.
I think he believes that it's only the country of the ignorant and insane who agree with him. If you do not agree you are, in his eyes, unworthty of this country.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
The Republican doesn't understand democracy so it frightens him, and he doesn't want it.
A vote for a Republican is a vote against Democracy.
how about that...

Amen! When they say they want "their" country back, I think they mean 1939 Germany. They are just too stupid to know it.

David, I know this creep. In another life he was a professor at a christianist college. At the graduation ceremony (mid-80's) he told the assembled crowd that AIDS was god's punishment for the gays.
I was in the audience.
Quist is a dangerous, wack-job, lifer.
That could go viral pretty quickly. Even if the Repugs all think so, it still isn't too polite to say so...
May or June, graduation ceremony. The crowd was a couple hundred outside on the campus lawn. I wish there was video. In 1987, I wasn't walking around with a camcorder but somebody must have been. But, I'll never forget it. I was an uninformed idiot back then, but not that uninformed that the savagry of the statement didn't shock me. Yes, they all do believe this sh_t
I knew this flake personally. He is a wack-job of the first order.

Of these worn out republican fools!

Sounds like Bachmann turned to overdrive.
Just keep getting farther & farther out there and the tea-baggers eat it up like candy. How is it that ignorance and stupidity have come to be cherished? By anyone, even Republicans?
I agree they'er not liberals.
These assholes are so stupid, they don't even realize the reason(s) why they don't like Rahmabama - is because his policies are conservative!
That's how freaking out to lunch they are. They have confused corporate fascist conservatism, with liberalism!
And to add to that warm fuzzy feeling; there are millions of these imbeciles in America. Good god are we screwed!

Also vying for the GOP nomination in the race against Walz is James Hagedorn, who scrubbed his blog of racist, homophobic posts days before announcing his candidacy, and Randy Demmer, who decries Walz's "culture of dependency" while accepting $75,000 in farm subsidies.

I've only started following American politics in the past two years (I'm Canadian) and I'm curious to know: Have politics in the States always been so hateful and about turning your opponent into some kind of monster?
Thanks.

Lately they're either lying, power-hungry thieves (Pawlenty, Molnau), or they're simply certifiable (Quist, Bachmann, Krinkie).
It's sad that the "good old days" of MN Republicanism is now embodied by Arne Carlson, fer god's sake. At least that was a species with whom you could have an honest disagreement without it turning into accusations of treason.
Maybe 2010 will be the year for Humbug Quist's Christmas Eve visitation:

Yup! the nut cases are out. A personal message to the retired SMG, smag you are one of our own call and we will back you up.
The Anti American Nazi, Racist, Socialist Fascist party is smearing GOOD PEOPLE while these diseased CLOWNS try to discredit those who served with HONOR. I am retired Military and I do not believe in leaving my own behind those that served in combat understand these Anti American Scum and Trash have to be shut down and that is by the command CLOSE RANKS MARCH.
Quist has been a nut job forever. As Governor he was from the far Rightwing neo-fascist idiot wing of the Republican party (the one now in full control). Nothing much has progressed in his thinking it seems.
- A Minnesotan
different dude, dude
As a Minnesotan, I should add a few notes.
* In 1994, the general consensus even among the Republican cognoscenti was that Quist was a few cans short of a six pack. It will be interesting to see how the Republican establishment regards him this time around.
* His first wife died in a car crash while pregnant. For the burial, Quist has the fetus removed from his wife's corpse and buried in a separate coffin.
* Wife number two is a former radical feminist who had an abortion in the Seventies and wrote about it turned fellow right-wing nutjob.
"I'm Quist Quoss and I flail my arms around...flail them around...look at me flail them around for Qwiste sake! I know what I'm talking about. Look at me flail my arms around! Rush flails them around so I know what I'm talking about...flail them around."
