C&L's collection of right wingers denouncing the DHS report on extremist violence
Here's a collection of posts by angry, right wing conservatives who were freaking out when the DHS report was released. Obviously our soldiers aren't the focus of the report, but the right wing kooks needed to find something to attack it with because the report perfectly highlighted the issue at hand. And as we've seen so far, right-wing violence is up dramatically since President Obama was elected.
Limbaugh: Bring me the head of Janet Napolitano!
Pat Robertson urges his callers to crash Homeland Security hotline
Hannity: It's an insult to suggest that veterans are bias-crime victims
Conservatives are trying to whitewash far-right terrorists out of our memories There was Bill Bennett, that right-wing moral icon, telling John King's "State of the Union" panel yesterday on CNN that DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano's clear explanation wasn't good enough.
Is the DHS watching returning veterans? Only when they join far-right hate groups -- O'Reilly says the report was "unnecessary," cooked up by a bevy of myopic "far left" liberals freshly ensconced in their DHS offices.
politically and philosophically...
I fear the Second Civil War coming.

when boosh was selected in 2000. w became the connecticut KKKracker to woo the southern vote, as well as buying the ranch in texas. and boosh rewarded their loyalty by shifting many government operations to the southern states.
Some stuff you can't make up!
The Al KKKada KKKracker?

These guys need to come to grips with their own irrelivancy.

Irrelevant? They've got a disillusioned and angry crowd that are happy to hear anything that reaffirms their view that the past eight years would have been perfect if those damned liberals hadn't corrupted and infiltrated the Republican Party with their tricky ways!
Hopefully humanity will one day learn to be humane.
They may be in the electoral minority at the moment but so were the progressives and Democrats less than 3 years ago.
It is a minority but a large and committed one. For these compromise is congress with Satan. There can be no cooperation or bi-partisanship with people who judge you to be the embodiment of evil.

Here's a video of Shep Smith reading the email he gets at Fox News. Even he's worried about how worked up the Fox viewers are. The problem is, he blames the blogs and not his fellow talking poodles Beck, O'Reilly, Hannity and such who often perpetuate the smears his emailer is raving about.

That said, we on the left need to be better than this and try to abstain from the same fear mongering, dehumanizing rhetoric that the right has lobbed at us for so long.
We need to move our nation from a "You're either with us or against us" mentality to "We're all in this together."
It's the only way to fix this problem.
Hopefully humanity will one day learn to be humane.
Honestly, I go to church with a lot of people who believe that I'm horribly back-slidden or hypnotized by racial issues to be a Democrat.
I had a lovely young woman (who I love dearly) ask me how I could be such a Godly man and still be a Democrat. She assumed that all Democrats were tools of Satan.
People who get their "news" from Fox, Limburger and Insanity and hear their views reinforced on "Christian" Radio start to see politics as a religious issue.
If their political views are the dictates of God then anyone with opposing political views is opposing God, Himself.
I don't want to dehumanize these folks. I want, if possible, to show them that their idols are liars.

I once had a girlfriend say when she found out I'm an atheist, "But you're so nice?"
Leading by example is the best way.

If you are a Christian, you could explain that churchgoing Democrats usually live by the gospels, which teach peace, tolerance and forgiveness. Yes, Jesus was a liberal, and that is why Republican Christians feel uncomfortable with him; they prefer to speak of "God", a tougher, vindictive figure of the Old Testament, who doesn't give them a guilty conscience. Can you imagine Pat Robertson or his ilk saying "Blessed are the meek"? Liberal claptrap.
These folks are just bitter, twisted, derranged, and not all that smart.

Bill Bennett is anything but correct about things. He thinks about thinking about things, then he buckles under the effort.

None of these people can operate without waving their fingers, hands, or arms. I dare any one of them to keep their hands to themselves. I'm serious. Let's see it.
and keep these people away from my children.

Because they actively encourage it!
Just as the racism of this nation has adopted buzzwords and catchphrases that immediately signal the fellow racist, the violent extreme right uses its own language of hate.
Seldom will you hear one of the Rightwing Elite (oxymoron) overtly call for the murder and bombingg they later disavow. They don't need to.
Euphemism as code is Republi-speak.

There is not much doubt about it , Limbaugh , the right wing talk show hosts and the lunatics at Fox news are a public menace and a danger , they should all be put on a domestic terrorist watch list , there needs to be limits set by law just how far they can go before they have crossed the line , just like saying the F word etc. , enough is enough , it's out of hand and they've got away with far too much for far to long . They need to pounce on the lunatic chimpanzee number two , Rat Robertson , the friggin fraud , take away his organizations tax exempt status , clamp down on these traitors and saboteurs ! Damn , there needs to be a purge in this country , I swear ! Have not they done enough damage to this country ?
Insanity , it is what it is , there is no understanding it .
The links are too sequitous, too convoluted for the justice system to digest, so they stay on TV.
Rather than stifling free speech, perhaps educating them will help. They are obviously frustrated, about something by the looks of it.

No connection between Right Wing Hate Sites and Lone Gunman Violence.
Nope.
No connection at all.

The only one I listened to was Pat Robertson, and this man is entirely scary. It would be hilarious if it were not so sad that sheep listen to this man. His faux "outrage" was as bad as anything used by Goebbels in WWII. Emotional pandering of the most juvenile variety, all couched in stunning hypocrisy and hyperbole

Reality always trumps wingnuttery, funny that. Perhaps one day they will stop and smell the roses before they flitter off into oblivion.

There need to be more reports like the DHS on these extremists. President Obama needs to focus on these hate groups and really do something to get these radicals under control. A civilized nation should not tolerate this kind of violent rhetoric and criminal behavior.
Politics is for the present, but an equation is for eternity. Albert Einstein
I know for a fact that none of these people have an ounce of honor, or honesty, or integrity.
They are all batshit crazy, lying, greedy, assholes!
republicanism is a mental illness!
Nothing more!
Pat Robertson, don't you have some poor black Africans to exploit for diamond mining operations?
Robertson: "Somebody in the bowels of that organization is someone of questionable sexual orientation" What in the hell does that have to do with the subject he's addressing?
Glad to see Robertson is so concerned about the fighting veterans considering he was guarding the liquor cabinets http://www.awolbush.com/whoserved.html
There is an empty seat in hell for Pat Robertson, and it's right next to Jerry Falwell's. Roast f*cker.
The unveiled hatred seething through this man's veins at anyone not Christo fascist. Thats one demented old fuckhead.
And the one thing I will always know about Robertson is when he ran for President he called himself a "Korean war combat veteran" whjich caused outrage among Marines. You want to talk about strings being pulled to get out of combat? Robertsons entire boat, over 1000 Marines, got diverted to Japan so he (and 6 others, as not to make it obvious) could be off loaded there and all the others went into combat in Korea.
One of the others eventually demanded he go to Korea and Robertson was furious. Shortly after arrival he was sent off to be "liquor officer" in the rear.
He got called out by real combat vets for his lies (they knew then he had connections) and shortly thereafter dropped out of the race

Why is Rush always pulling at the front of his shirt. Are his sagging tits bothering him? Maybe that's why he's the "tit"ular head of the GOP.
If Rush's breasts get any lower, the're gonna be knees.
Maybe he needs to start doing those booby bouncing exercises again. It worked at CPAC.
None of them will admit they are dead wrong.
This a great use of the archives, John. I wouldn't mind see more of this contextual digging in the future - especially now that you've been collecting for quite a few years now...
Now I want mainstream media to do a little more contextual digging so the masses will "get it".
Here's something I wrote around the time of the last mass shooting:
http://the-billablog.blogspot.com/2009/04/mas...
What I find interesting is that my stats show I've had hits from Google searches for 'liberal murderer left-wing,' 'liberal mass all right wing radio,' and '"mass murder" + liberal'
Not sure what to read into that.

Another joke posing as a...I don't know what she's posing as...all I can see is one more CABLE CLOWN.
..singed a letter critical of DHS and Janent N about the report.
Please, oh please, John list quotes from the likes of Beck, Limp, Hannity and Bill O so I can include it in my letter and phone call to their offices.
While reading about this right wing nut job, I noticed this quote from him....
"It's better to be strong than right...." ...Von Brunner
Doesn't that sound just like republicans view on foreign policy? I've posted while arguing with some faux news jugheads....Republicans would rather fail looking like Rambo, then succeed looking like Mother Theresa.
Everybody knows that the angry Right Wing-NutO's are very, very dangerous terroroists, but on the other side they're bedwetting,crybaby, morons.
