Tea Party speaker wants Sen. Patty Murray to 'get hung'
Well, the Tea Party folks held a "Take Back America!" rally last weekend in Asotin, Washington, which is in the far eastern reaches of the state. Stephanie Smith of KLEW-TV in Lewiston, Idaho, was there and filed this report:
"How many of you have watched the movie Lonesome Dove?," asked one speaker from the podium. "What happened to Jake when he ran with the wrong crowd? What happened to Jake when he ran with the wrong crowd. He got hung. And that's what I want to do with Patty Murray."
Violent eliminationist rhetoric like this is part and parcel of right-wing extremism, so this is simply another manifestation of the growing extremism of the Tea Party movement. After all, the Lewis and Clark Tea Party Patriots, who sponsored this gathering, are in fact a classic example of the way the Tea Party movement has become a launching pad for a revival of the Patriot movement of the '90s.
Their blog, for example, is rich with propaganda in favor of the "Sovereignty Winter Fest" (aka the "Washington State Tenth Amendment Rally") -- an event held last month in Olympia that, as Devin Burghart reported for IREHR, not only was rife with Confederate flags and far-right rhetoric, but was primarily an event aimed at bolstering the "Tenther" constitutional theories. As we've reported several times, these theories all originated with the Patriot/militia movement of the 1990s.
Of course, Sarah Palin will not find this kind of talk extremist.

Looks like the republican "base" is mad as hell that stupid white doughy pantload bigots no longer run the country.
Apparently, these morons haven't been told yet, that Robert E. Lee surrendered to General Grant.
But how much can you expect from a group that thinks socialism and fascism are synonomous?
Rush Limbaugh is what a smart person thinks a stupid bigot sounds like.
hum... makes them sound undereducated.
What the hell is Maoism?

It's being hanged we try to avoid
Politics is ugly
Of course, these "morans" don't know proper grammar, syntax or word usage.
What a bunch of sick idiots.

That should be "insufficiently stupid white doughy pantload bigots" since the Republicans have drifted ever so slightly from their roots.

LOL! Good one.
Rush Limbaugh is what a smart person thinks a stupid bigot sounds like.
Did Patty Murray stand by while her "wrong crowd" killed people, and stole their belongings and hung the dead corpses from trees and then set them afire?
Somehow, this seems the kind of thing that I would expect Tea Party people to do. Not Patty Murray.
novelist, Larry McMurtry, I do believe she is referring to the neck tie style execution of Ms. Murray.
However, I must point out that when I used those very words, someone
noted the correct word is "hanged."
Around here commenters would not want Ms. Murray to get hung. They would want her to grow a pair. Then urge her to find her spine. Then they would call her a term referencing ladies of the evening. Because we are open minded liberals and/or REAL progressives.
"I mean Romney is the most conservative on illegal immigration and I don't think Ronald Reagan could get elected in California today."

I was waiting for someone to make the correction -- glad you caught it quickly.
I mean, if she's going to advocate the thuggish removal of your opponent, she may as well have the decency to do it with correct grammar. (Cue grammar-nazi jokes.)
Glad someone else picked up on the incorrect use of "hung". But really, what else can one expect from this group of ignoramuses?
I imagine Patty Murray has contacted the FBI by now.

That, too.
Her statement sounds racist. It reminds me of the song "Strange Fruit".
I'm afraid at the rate things are going, somewhere in the near future, a group of these assholes is going to cross the line. No one is showing them where the "line" is. I mean, fuck, they are bringing guns to within spitting distance of the President for God's sake.
That sounds like what a terrorist would say. Yep, I'm sure of that, sounds just like a terrorist.
It's going to take a lot of money to get these idiots elected above the local level. That's a lot of bake sales.
Or, someone like Richard Mellon Scaife to get a wild hair up his ass.
Now these idiots can have all the money they need from anyone on earth who happens to own a US subsidiary. Bake sales are for schools! Tea Baggers get full corporate financing, their own TV news station, and a lifetime supply of excuses for why nothing gets any better now matter how many Republicans they elect in the future.
$8 an hour with no benefits conservative thinking: "Everytime I vote republican, I GET SCREWED! I need to vote for some more republicans!"
G&* D*&*ed democrats. They better keep their pinko, social-fascio, terrorio-marxcist guvmint' hands off my Medicare that I wouldn't have if it wasn't for my free market republican buddies!

(Sexual Fantasies Anonymous) She really wanted him “Hung”
He may be hung but he needs to be hanged.
Good luck unseating Murray. Ain't gonna happen.
These people are absolutely insane promoting death to the other people who simply disagree with their insane stance! WTF is wrong with this country (media) to continually allow these nutcases a podium to spout their crazy rhetoric. I'm a firm believer in Free speech, but when it comes to actual death threats, I'm sorry, I have to draw the line!
They might try to teach them something we don't want... "like science"
Study the symptoms not the virus...
There are limits to free speech. It's one thing to say these kinds of things at a table in a restaurant, for example, but to make those kinds of comments from a podium during a speech can be construed at incitement - and I'm sure there are a lot of other crimes that I can't think of right now. I feel the same way about public officials who suggest that states should secede.
...y'all are making me a little nervous with all this hangin' talk.
dandy
That with the exception of an occasional troll, we're as disturbed by the violent talk of the woman in the video as you are. [Of course, some of us ARE having a little satirical fun with her ungrammatical use of the word "hung" (well-endowed) and hanged (executed).]
Let's hope at the next rally that someone's gun goes off and then, there's return fire and they all just kill each other. I don't give a damn about these people. Drop Dead!
a scenario we need to discuss, roxsteady
dandy
The only thing that doughy pasty white bitch has ever hung was a hard right into the McDonald's drive thru.
This just reminds me of the Palin rallies when people were yelling Kill him and Terrorist. So the full on nut jobs have the podium. They feel like they have a little power and look what happens. Can you imagine what would happen if these idiots ever acquired any real power.
Progressive need keep exposing these people for who they really are as often as possible.
Nice job on keeping up on this and keeping people informed David.
These people really are becoming increasingly proto-fascist.
I've been aware of this for a long time now...eliminationist rhetoric is far from being a new phenomenon among people like this, I'm afraid.
Never trust anyone who insists that patriotism requires you to blindfold yourself with the flag.
won't come out of the Wal-Mart long enough to hang anybody, the remainder are too fucking fat and lazy to get out of their SUVs let alone to throw a rope over a tree.
Maybe she just wants her to get a sex-change.
Diabolus est Deus Inversus
The only thing she'll be hanging, is her Xmas lights.
Study the symptoms not the virus...
Or her dentures over the bedside plastic dixie cup.

the free and fair election in 2008 that didn't go their way.
They're racist secessionists who love America so much, they want to secede from it. The memorable quote from Nashville's TeaGagCON was, "We're not shooting anybody. At least not yet."
The teagaggers themselves are traitors, but also chickenhawk sissies. They want somebody else to start a civil war.
Let those who desire violence commit it themselves, or shut the frak up and go home so they mama can change they diaper and make them some sugarfree pudding.
Jan. 2001 - Nov. 2008: "Love it or leave it!"
Nov. 2008 - Now: "We're leaving!"

when they can steal and election but when one is out off reach they want to cut and run from America. That's how much they love this country.
And they was right! -- Blazing Saddles.

Oh, it's twue, it's TWUE!
Racism and lynch mobs.
HOORAY 4U GUYS!
[effin' douchebaggin' asshats...]
Idaho, home of the militias and white supremasists is where this group draws from. This is your typical undereducated angry racist gang. Folks west of the Cascades don't really considered them part of the state.
Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and Arkansas in between 'em.
think that MOVIES are real?
distinguish performance from reality.

I believe it is a federal crime to threaten a U.S. Senator. FBI? He wants to hang her.
for that part of Idaho.I am not at all surprised by this rhetoric.
...elimination...movement...heh heh...
Now ain't that the shiznit.

...
For as long as I can remember that area of Washington state / Idaho has been the anti government whacko capital of the entire United States . I don't know that extremism is growing , these freaks have always been around only now they are coming out of the woods for these get togethers , they've found a home in the Tea party and they are getting press and coverage .
