Let me propose a name for this current wave of mass killings

[Skidmore]

that appear to be occurring in a cluster. It deserves a label to point out the stupidity of hate fueled violence. Let me suggest it be called the Bachmann Syndrome. The fomenting of violence and hatred this woman has engaged in is remarkable. Give it a name and mock it at every chance you can. Denounce it frequently. Is this how we treat one another? Is this what we want to be known for? Is this what has made the RW's cherished "American Exceptionalism" a label totally devoid of meaning?

[Scuba]

1. How about "Bachmann/Beck Syndrome"? Let's give credit where it is due.

[RKP5637]

2. Maybe also "BachBeck Terrorism Syndrome."

[ananda]

12. Or how about something I read a while back?

Limbaughtomized Lunacy

[RKP5637]

17. That, is the bottom line of it all !!! I wish one of these would stick

across the nation.

[TheCowsCameHome]

3. Bachmann Is Terrorism's Chief Honcho.

I don't want to print the acronyn.........

[leveymg]

4. Let's just call it what it is. Armed right-wing terrorism in America, and treat it as such.

Believe me. If these events had ties to the extreme Left, that's exactly what the response by the GOP, MSM and LEC would be.

[RKP5637]

6. Exactly, well said. That's the message we keep hearing, "Armed right-wing terrorism in America." n/t

[Bandit]

5. Remember the Right Wing Boast, "If we can't win at the ballot, we will win with the bullet."

Words have consequences and we need to hold some people responsible..

[freshwest]

7. Yes, it s been around a lot longer than Bachmann and Beck. They are the second or third choir.

Since the Civil War, these voices have been with us and they formed groups to commit acts of terrorism. The KKK should be on a watch list due to their history, as well as sites such as Stormfront which glorify the German version the Nazis which also exist here. Tie in the John Birch Society founded by the Koch family, supporters of Mussolini, and then look at every outfit they have funded. And everyone of these hatemongers like Rush who made the hunting of liberals with guns a 'joke' that has inspired hate radio for 20 years. Sick of this stuff.

[RKP5637]

18. It's making America look like a nation of bellicose fools! n/t

[Nye Bevan]

8. Sorry, what's the connection between Bachmann and James Holmes? (nt)

[davidthegnome]

9. To put it simply... hatred

Though I suspect that Bachman's may be more... a front, put on for the sake of wealthy supporters. I can't think of a single politician in office today that is more disturbed, more full of hate... or more capable of working the far right lunatics into a frenzy.

[Doctor_J]

10. No, no, no

It is Hate Radio syndrome. Levin, Beck, Limpballs, Weiner, Gallagher, Medved, and every fucking one of them is responsible. Do not let them off the hook by putting it all on Cruella.

DU UNREC

[Fla Dem]

15. +1000 n/t

[tblue]

20. Hate Radio/Fox News Syndrome.

They all deserve that albatross on their necks. Let's just start calling it that. It's the freaking truth.

[Harriety]

11. "We are going to be armed and dangerous" Michelle Bachmann

It's so sad that this woman represents our state of Minnesota. There was a very meaningful letter today written on the editorial page of the Minneapolis Tribune from some interfaith leaders calling Bachmann out for her hateful behavior. I hope more people call her out. I think she should be reprimanded in Congress for her awful behavior.

[The Blue Flower]

25. link please?

thanks

[Ikonoklast]

29. I can help you with that....

13. Until someone presents some hard statistical evidence of a cluster, I call it Misleading Vividness

It's the Nectar of the Gods for the commercial media.

[Mkap]

14. no difference

between Bachmann and the white supremist. Bachmann is sure that she is apart of the supreme race and wants to rid of the state department of those "other people"

[Jamaal510]

16. How about the "RW Rampage"?

[Initech]

19. I've been referring to them as the "Tea Party Terrorists".

[harun]

21. It's Right Wing Terrorism.

[WCGreen]

22. Bachman/Palin Murder spree....

[Chemisse]

23. There is no indication yet that there was a political motivation behind the Holmes shootings.

And I would be reluctant to suggest it, since for all we know, the guy was a Democrat!

The guy was mentally ill (although probably not legally insane) and his motive was probably a function of his psychosis.

White supremacists, on the other hand, are not crazy at all. They are just mean and hateful mother***ers.

[backscatter712]

24. Stochastic Terrorism. n/t

[muriel_volestrangler]

26. Given the connection of white supremacists to "The Turner Diaries"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Turner_Diaries

"Bachmann Turner Overdrive" fits nicely.

[uponit7771]

27. Stochastic Terrorism. n/t

[LongTomH]

28. Another name for it is 'Eliminationism'
