Right wing violence

Let's look at the Republican batting average so far:


The other day a Moveon.org activist was viciously curb stomped by a Rand Paul campaign volunteer.

In July Byron Williams was arrested in a freeway police shootout, while on his way to stage a violent attack on the ACLU and Tides Foundation after Glenn Beck repeatedly argued they were "Evil".

A Pheonix Man was indicted for threatening to Kill Rep Raul Grijalva over his opposition to SB1070.

Charles Alan Wilson was arrested for threatening to Kill Senator Patty Murray in Washington State.

Members of the Right-Wing Hutaree Militia were arrested an charged for plotting to shoot, ambush and bomb police in order to begin an anti-Government "Civil War".

A man was arrested for phoning threats against Nancy Pelosi.

Phone threats were made against Rep Betsy Markley.

'better hope I don't run into you in a dark alley with a knife, a club or a gun.

Someone cut the propane gas line at Rep Tom Perriello's brothers home, which appeared to be attempted arson.

Death Threats were issued against Rep Bart Stupak for his support of Health Care Reform.

Pictures of a Noose were Faxed Rep. James Clyburn because of his HCR support.

A Brick was thrown through the window of the Democratic Headquaters in Rochester NY.

Another brick was thrown at Rep Louis Slaughter's office, and a phone message threatening a "Sniper'.

A window was shattered at Rep. Gabrielle Giffords Office.

A envelope of White Powder was mail to Rep. Anthony Weiners Office with a threatening note about Health Care.

Packets of White Powder were also sent to Keith Olbermann, David Letterman, Jon Stewart and Speaker Pelosi by Free Republic Poster, Ann Coulter & Michelle Malkin acolyte Chad Costanza.

Rep Steve Dreihaus received death threats and had his home address published by a right-wing blogger.

James Von Brunn killed security guard at the Holocaust Museum on his way to attack David Axelrod.

It's not like this pattern isn't highly visible, and Brock thinks those that started it, have a responsibility to put this fire out.

Healthcare Town Halls Need a Second Amendment Zone

Recently, some wingnut tweeted that people should bring their guns to these contentious 'town halls'.

a health care protester in New Mexico had been encouraging those following him on Twitter to bring their guns to town hall meetings — and use them if provoked.

"If ACORN/SEIU attends these meetings for disruptive purposes, and you have a license to carry....carry," Scott Oskay wrote in one tweet. In another, he suggested, "Stop being peaceful, and hurt them. Badly."

Viola.

Man carries assault rifle at Obama protest

PHOENIX - About a dozen people carrying guns, including one with a military-style rifle, milled among protesters outside the convention center where President Barack Obama was giving a speech Monday - the latest incident in which protesters have openly displayed firearms near the president.

Gun-rights advocates say they're exercising their constitutional right to bear arms and protest, while those who argue for more gun control say it could be a disaster waiting to happen.

Phoenix police said the gun-toters at Monday's event, including the man carrying an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle slung over his shoulder, didn't need permits. No crimes were committed, and no one was arrested.

No Peace Signs.

No pot.

Just assault rifles near the President.

No big deal. Guns legal.

Cops kept an eye on him, though.

A man, who decided not to give his name, was walking around the pro-health care reform rally at Third and Washington streets, with a pistol on his hip and an AR-15 (a semi-automatic assault weapon) on a strap over his shoulder.

"Because I can do it," he said when asked why he was armed. "In Arizona, I still have some freedoms."

Two police officers were staying very close to the man.

"What he is doing is perfectly legal," Det. J. Oliver, of the Phoenix Police Department said. "We are here to keep the peace. If we need to intervene, we will intervene at that time."

It's not just cranks on Twitter.

It's cranks high in the Republican party, like this one from my state:

Guns - ASSAULT RIFLES - at healthcare debate...near the president these people openly don't like.

Because they are "free" to do so.

The full blown batshit craziness of rightwingers on complete and public display and Republican politicians are ENCOURAGING it.

People are going to get really hurt before this is over, if nothing is done to quell this needless crap.

History repeating itself

How is it that people can be so blind?Sometimes people see thing and they will acknowledge that it is not there.

It seems as if lately whites are claiming that this is a post racial society and racism doesn't exist.At many townhalls for health care, people have been bringing out racist signs out of the President. They disrupt the townhall and have caused violence. Some agitators have told people to bring their guns.Fox have told their audience that this didn't happen and that ACORN and the unions are doing this under the orders of the President.Blame the victim.Sean Hannity and Mark Stein have said that if anyone gets hurt it's the President's fault.Accuse him of using the race card and call him a commie.

From Wikipedia:

"One of the first riots he investigated was that of October 1919 in Elaine, Arkansas, where more than 200 sharecropper farmers had been killed by white vigilantes and Federal troops in Phillips County."

The only way people found out about this was that Walter White of the NAACP a guy who could pass for white documented it.Many of the white newspapers said it didn't happen.

In the early 1940's in Los Angeles you had a race riot called the "Zoot Suit" riot,where Hispanic, Filipino, and black Zoot Suiters were beaten by white servicemen.

From Wikipedia:



"Marching through the streets of downtown Los Angeles, a mob of several thousand soldiers, sailors, and civilians, proceeded to beat up every zoot suiter they could find. Pushing its way into the important motion picture theaters, the mob ordered the management to turn on the house lights and then ran up and down the aisles dragging Mexicans out of their seats. Streetcars were halted while Mexicans, and some Filipinos and Negroes, were jerked from their seats, pushed into the streets and beaten with a sadistic frenzy."[4]"

"The local press lauded the attacks by the servicemen, describing the assaults as having a "cleansing effect" that were ridding Los Angeles of "miscreants" and "hoodlums."[5] The Los Angeles City Council issued an ordinance banning the wearing of "zoot suits" after Councilman Norris Nelson stated "The zoot suit has become a badge of hoodlumism". Sailors and Marines had initially targeted only pachucos, but African-Americans in Zoot Suits were also victimized in the Central Avenue corridor area. This escalation compelled the Navy and Marine Corps command staffs to intervene on June 7; confining sailors and Marines to barracks and declaring Los Angeles as off-limits to all military personnel with enforcement by U.S. Navy Shore Patrol personnel. However their official position remained that their men were acting in self defense.[3]"

"A week later, First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt described the riots, which the local press had largely attributed to criminal actions by the Mexican American community, as having actually been "race riots" rooted in long-term discrimination against Mexican-Americans. This led to an outraged response from the Los Angeles Times, which printed an editorial, the following day, in which it accused Mrs. Roosevelt of having communist leanings and stirring "race discord".[6]"

Most of the newspapers that lied about the story were owned by William Randolf Hearst.All the papers had to do was accuse the other side of using race and call them a commie,history repeating itself.
