Crazed Michele Bachmann fan threatens a Ft. Hood-type bloodbath against a Michigan paper
By John Amato Thursday Nov 19, 2009 10:00amViolence is contagious.
This Kentucky weirdo should be checked out very carefully.
A Kentucky woman has threatened a Michigan newspaper with a bloodbath similar to the massacre at Ft. Hood if they don't lay off criticism of the District 6 congresswoman.
Weird. We always thought Michele was a pro-life kinda gal. But on with the story, which begins with an editorial in the Port Huron Times Herald. It lambastes Bachmann as a "a hate-spewing, right-wing legislator from Minnesota."
Rally participants carried a variety of disturbing signs. One placard had a health care message superimposed over dead bodies from Holocaust concentration camps. One referred to President Barack Obama as "Sambo." One depicted the president as the evil "Joker" from Batman movies. One referred to "Obama and his Marxist buddies."At one point, the crowd chanted "Nazi, Nazi."
The unidentified Kentucky woman was having none of that, and according to Editor and Publisher, she put in a call to the Gannett customer service center in Louisville, Ky., threatening to arm herself and "do what they did at Fort Hood." (Gannett owns the Times Herald.)
Gannett gave a copy of the recording to Kentucky authorities, who paid the woman a visit last week. No charges have yet been filed in the case.
It's at the point where threats of bloodbaths and sicko murder fantasies like this should be a crime already. Oh, I forgot, the FRC will say it's denying their preachers the right to express themselves. My bad.

..and I remember the laws that came out in the aftermath regarding threats to the President of the USA. AT WHAT F-ING point do we go after these people making threats seriously?
My wife received a text message on her phone. When she called the number the text originated from, the person who answered said that there were numbers within some of the circles in the message (it was an unusual text message) and those numbers were the number of days she had left to live. I'm tired of the threats. Maybe instead of creating new jobs in the alternative energy sector, we should be hiring investigators and throw these ba$tards in jail.
At the point that they try to attend Bush events wearing the wrong T-shirt, or just not taking a Republican loyalty. IOW, the point has already been defined then re-defined.
Apparently the authority exists to do something about these people, it's just not being used now that the threats are real. Just more of the dual standard that exists between the D's and the R's. OR between liberals and the conservatives.
..to a lesser degree, imagine what might happen if the Police actually went after speeders? The worlds' longest parking lot, the L.I.E. has a 55 mph speed limit. Like many other roads, doing 55 is a death sentence. Do 70 and everybody still passes you. Imagine the revenue if they ever figured out a way to ticket all the speeders. I have at least two solutions to ticket all those people and its not rocket science but the point is, until you agressively persue something like this, it will continue.
saying that someone is both "crazed" and "michele bachmann fan" is redundant...
just sayin'
not solved the conspiracy of the kennedy assassination nor put the Bush administration officials who orchestrated 9/11 away yet either.
What is Obama hiding for his corporate rethug masters?
Extremely Right-Wingers of all stripes have just stopped trying to be civil, and are showing their true selves...
"We should be hiring investigators and ...." indeed. Can we throw those in Congress who perpetuate this stuff in jail too ???!!!
I wish the entire south would secede from " the Union " , for the most part they are the dumbest and most ignorant people on this entire planet , dumb as a box of rocks Neanderthals . It's really amazing .
This kind of stupidity has spread far and wide from the South to the rest of the country, so simply kicking the south out will do no good.
History has shown that ignoring these fascists is not the way to go, it simply emboldens them. They MUST be confronted in order to bring them in line.
in Santa Barbara the other morning, but I didn't. I guess I missed my opportunity to meet Obama in person...
questions for this crazy person...
who are "they"?
and "do what they did at Fort Hood"? what, kill american troops?
i think an apb needs to be put out on all bachmannites, they might be a danger to our armed forces.
In my opinion, it's quite plausible to assume this person imagined the Fort Hood incident was an attack by a Muslim on a Christian nation and similarly sees this assault on Queen nut-job as an attack as well. She just may perceive this as an attack on her fellowship?
Not unlike THIS.
You have to wonder how dangerous BeckWorld is becoming. So far it's mostly fierce rhetoric and threats.
But what will be the reaction if bombs really do go off---or shots are fired. At, say, the president.
How worried should we really be?
So much depends on how deep the recession will get....and how long it will last....for Main Street.
One thing's for certain. It is BeckWorld that is rallying "the masses" to take it to the streets. How come the left is virtually invisible there?
... to shy away from threats. We comfort ourselves with myths of how that could never happen here, or that it's not that bad, or nobody could be THAT crazy.
Then, when the unthinkable happens, there will be a round-robin of finger-pointing and 20/20 hindsight, as 'experts' tell us we should have seen this coming, how authorities 'missed important signs,' and the self-important poobahs in Washington will wring their hands, clutch their pearls, and nothing will change.
..with a warning or probation or something..

That's the problem. That and not enough jail space for all the right-wing threateners. More jobs created if we build jails, hmmm.
Any Entrepreneurs out there?

.. not emough room for these really dangerous people ..
Fear leads to anger.
Anger leads to hate.
Hate leads to suffering.

that looks suspiciously like a militia. A geek militia but a militia none the less.
"Fear leads to anger.
Anger leads to hate.
Hate leads to suffering."
Suffering leads to fear.
Or as Rush said in their song, "Witch Hunt":
"Quick to judge,
Quick to anger,
Slow to understand
Ignorance and prejudice
And fear walk hand in hand"
The freedom of hate speech practiced by wingnut media isn't responsible for the actions of it's gun-totin psychopathic listeners. It's our constitutional and God-given right to push these nutjobs over the edge in order to eliminate the Godless opposition!
How ignorantly partisan of you all! Praise Jeebus!
It's all ignorant and lame but seriously, calling a customer service number to make this type of threat?! This woman should be locked up because she's clearly a threat to herself as much as anyone else.
readiness for an upcoming Pakistani border incursion...
Yet another reason to be ashamed of my state. Mitch McConnell; Jim Bunning; the murder of the census worker, which I'm almost sickeningly positive will be ruled a "suicide," and now this idiot. Am I forgetting any?

"LEXINGTON, Ky. -- A Kentucky judge on Wednesday struck down a 2006 state law that required the Kentucky Office of Homeland Security to stress "dependence on Almighty God as being vital to the security of the commonwealth." You asked ;)
Bachmann knows her job/position..........provide the rally cry/rationalization of being within the "extreme" persuasion. She feeds the red meat for the haters keep them happy until elections. everybody wants a hero Bachman is a hero to some.
There is an interview with Michele. In it they state that she would not submit to a live interview, and insists that the interview be handled via email. Hmmm, Sarah Palin comes to mind. Like, she wants to make sure she can't be rebutted, and that she can send the message she wants with out fumbling words around.
Big contradiction in it. She states her and Ron Paul agree on everything, then goes on later to say that they are individuals. Which is it Michele? I can't even stand the sight of her anymore!
Bachmann knows her job/position
Especially at GOP conventions.
..to be the Stupid one?
In 1999, Brownback teamed up with two other Family associates—former senator Don Nickles and the late senator Strom Thurmond—to demand a criminal investigation of Americans United for Separation of Church and State. In 2005, Senator Coburn joined Brownback in stumping for the Houses of Worship Act, to allow tax-exempt churches to endorse politicians. Brownback's most influential effort is as chair of the Senate Values Action Team, a caucus that gathers on Tuesdays, before his Family cell meeting. Everything that is said is strictly off the record, and even the groups themselves are forbidden from discussing the proceedings. It's a little “cloak-and-dagger,” says Brownback's press secretary. The VAT, as it's called, is a war council, and the enemy, says one participant, is "secularism."
The Senate VAT grew out of a House version chaired by Representative Joe Pitts, a burly, white-haired conservative from Pennsylvania Amish country who's a regular at the Family's Arlington mansion. The VAT was then-Representative Tom DeLay's creation, but as far back as 1980, Pitts had been one of the regional activists who'd helped push a relatively new concern for evangelicals—abortion—to its place at the center of American politics. In 2002, Brownback, whose concern with what he refers to as a “holocaust” against a womb-bound nation of fetal citizens, was the logical man for the job of leading the VAT's Senate version. The VAT demands a bridge builder’s sensibility, the ability to convince fundamentalism's popular front, which demanded its creation, that it's taken seriously by more elite conservatives.

...I hope Rachel does some more investigative reporting on this disingenuous fellowship and their tax free compound and or domicile. "Birds of a feather"...nesting together. ;)
I'd like to see how this boardinghouse/church accounts for its tenant(s) and how the tenants... account for their home away from home?
The expense(s) must be arbitrary; whose payin for what? I can think of the tax savings bestowed upon the compound, the rest would be interesting... even from a zoning regulation(s) perspective. ;)
.. just like the Taliban!!
This illustrates how the Republican Party has been completely subsumed by it's most odious fringe players.Bachmann has clearly shown that she simply does not care about the possible consequences of her actions and continues to actively stoke the flames of extremism.
This is unacceptable behavior for an elected official.
The moderates in the GOP better GD well start voicing some concerns here,because this shit is waaaaaaaaaaay past it's due date.
Quentin Tarantino, you are so screwed.
...his sicko murder fantasies involve fictional people.
Don't hold your breath.
Check out this 7 minute video about the DOJ.
I hope Obama realizes that the people who incite this type of behavior in our country ARE NO DIFFERENT from the clerics and cult leaders who use their type of fundamentalism to promote violence against us from afar. And what our president calls "bipartisanship," I equate with negotiating with terrorists.
No, no we can't.
Ho hum...yet another right wing nut case.
As Beck continues his incitement of the wingnut loons and the DOJ continues to allow it to happen, expect more and more of this as the loons get pushed over the edge..
As soon as they start to gather in the Cluster-Fox parking lots, it's too late.
As soon as they start to gather in the Cluster-Fox parking lots
Never happen. To do that they would have to come to *shudder* New York City. Den of liberalism....and risk being surrounded by...*shudder* homersexils...and...and...black people with guns!
would wet his pants if they did assemble in his parking lot! Nope, he and Michele will incite from safely afar, and let their fans pour hatred onto their unsuspecting neighbors.
that she's a Bachmann fan? She called in and threatened the newspaper about an article about Rep Candice Miller. And also how do you know she is from KY? The call was received at a call center there, but that doesn't mean she is from there. I've called companies and been answered in several different states(and occasionally countries) by the same company at the same ph number. My guess is that she is a MI resident considering Miller is a rep for MI and the article appeared in a MI newspaper.
Maybe you should try it sometime.

Call was traced to Kentucky, paper lambasted Miller's participation in Bachman's circle jerk November 5th.
does it say the call was traced to KY? It says it was received there, no mention of where it originated. And yes the editorial lambasted MILLERS participation in the rally that Bachmann had, it didn't at least directly criticize Bachmann. And about the little research perhaps you should try it, from the Port Huron newspapers website "A 60-year-old Port Huron woman threatened to take a gun to the newspaper and "do what they did at Fort Hood," according to police"

Another Oklahoma city-bombing like event is on the way.
And when it happens, these nasty right-wingers will at first blame Islamic terrorists. Then when that is debunked, they'll try to excuse it as justified anger over Obama and his "socialist" agenda.
The right will never take responsibilty for the hate and violence it creates on a daily basis.
The AG's office, and all enforcement officials, need to step in and say that support for, and promotion of, violent acts in this country are aiding and abetting, and therefore punishable by law. Then, follow-through and enforce.
..beck, bachmann, limpbaugh, et. al.
And we can't have that now can we?
(Do I have to add "snark"? oh I hope not!)
Or they can simply reissue their warning about the dangers to national security of extremist loons.
You know...the report that made the exremist loons and their enablers feel so put upon.
..
Gannett Publishing products are an old-school right-wing birdcage liner.
Does Bachmann have a clue what she is inciting out there? She has placed her fingers on the Ouija board and opened the door to the nut cases of the universe.
Either she knows what she's doing or she's too stupid to care.
the paper most likely just cracked under the daily stress of living in a society that does not reflect her own personal reality. Maybe she has neighbors who had Obama campaign signs on their lawns, and took away her McCain signs. Or maybe she is driven into a frenzy by the perceived "socialism" and threats on her "liberties". Whatever. At any rate, you can't blame Michele Bachmann or any other crazed Repub for this woman's actions. She is just one person who cracked under pressure.
Isn't that what you would say if a Muslim guy called in and threatened a newspaper to pull some sort of terror stunt?
When are our people in the security fields going to start finding out whats going on with the American Paliban. These are domestic terrorists. Where is the FBI where is homeland security? If our law enforcement dont act it will be on their shoulders when someone else gets killed.
While I admire the Obama administration's attempts to follow the rule of law rather than arresting and silencing any criticism, they've gone too far the other way and now appear soft and weak. Those who make threats and other such stupidity deserve to be prosecuted, and should be to the full extent of the law.
Barack Obama is trying too hard to be the Empirical President as compared to how George Bu**sh** was trying to be the Imperial President.
