1. Tea Partiers Laugh, Congressman Fails to Intercede as Woman Declares Obama Should Be Executed as an Enemy Combatant
Simone Sanner
February 1, 2014
U.S. Congressman Jim Bridenstone (R-OK) attended a luncheon hosted by the Tea Party sub-group Tulsa 9:12 Project last week to discuss the issues of the day with his constituency. One of the people in the crowd said Obama is not President as far as I am concerned. He should be executed as an enemy combatant really the congressmans response was not to immediately shoot down the stupidity and treason expressed.
Instead, Bridenstone fed into the womans moronic fears, based on lies and a lack of understanding if what an Executive Order is. Bridenstone laughed and said Dont hold back, Emma. The woman then went on to ask the congressman about the Muslims that he is shipping into our country through pilots and commercial jets.
Bridenstones lack of denial about such nonsense is telling regarding just how far he will go to gain the support of people wishing for the death of the standing President of The United States. He said:
Everybody knows the lawlessness of this president. He picks and chooses which laws hes going to enforce or not enforce. He does it by decree. When he cant create a low through congress, then he uses the bureaucracies in the Executive branch to create rules and regulations, and ultimately when he cant even get that done he uses foreign bodies he uses the UN to try to change the laws in the United States.

2. Republican Running for Congress Calls Hillary Clinton the Anti-Christ, Passes Out Bullets at Campaign Event
Simone Sanner
February 1, 2014
While on the campaign trail last week, Montana Republican Ryan Zinke attended an event of about 30 people in Big Fork Montana. Zinkes comments at the event make it clear just how crazy this candidate is, and just how much attention Montanans should be paying to keep this hysterical man out of office in 2014.
Zinke, as reported by the Big Fork Eagle, called Hillary Clinton the anti-Christ and the real enemy. The ex-Navy SEAL seemed to be hinting at a call for civil war when he said:
Its time to stop the lies. Lets talk about truth. Who trusts the U.S. government? No one in this room. Ive served in 25 nations. Ive seen where people dont trust their government. Were there. In the military, the last option is to send in the SEALs.
Zinke handed out 50-calibre bullets to each of the four men who sponsored the event before a crowd of about 30 people. The gesture is very telling, considering he was the militarys highest rated sniper at one time.
While sane heads would relegate this man to the sidelines, Zinkes message of hate for Hillary Clinton, simple-minded religious fanaticism, and support of NRA profits seems to unite enough loons to put him at the head of the pack. Zinke is the frontrunner of 6 candidates for the seat of current Rep. Steve Daines, who is leaving the chair to run for Sen. Max Baucus seat.

The only sure way to beat such people is to be disciplined and vote in ALL races, local, state and federal. Anarchists gain power when right thinking people either don't vote, or waste their votes due to some holier than thou mindset.

I think the social engineering by Foxnews and fellow parasites like Glenn Beck, Alex Jones and various extremist RWing brain trusts (like Cato and Heritage) have FINALLY done enough brainwashing to cause several Americans to become dangerous to their government and unstable in and around the public.

A new year is dawning and many Americans are making their new year resolutions across the country. But it appears the only resolution conservatives are making is to continue their effort to kill President Barack Obama by any means necessary.
A right-wing Facebook page wants to lynch President Barack Obama and declare the day of his killing a national holiday.
On December 30th at 1:09pm, right-wing Facebook page America the next Generation posted a picture that should spark investigations and arrests. The offensive photo shows the president with a noose around his neck. Hes about to be lynched and the words The Making of a National Holiday are scrawled across it. The text above the post reads: A holiday we could all celebrate as justice would be served.
Steve Marmel, a TV writer and producer with a left-wing Facebook page found the meme and posted it with the message, Hey Secret Service, got another one for ya! as shown here.

(53,661 posts)From a post by Kalyke:
Any time you hear the false equivalancy crap on your other boards, post this:
-- July 2008: A gunman named Jim David Adkisson, agitated at how "liberals" are "destroying America," walks into a Unitarian Church and opens fire, killing two churchgoers and wounding four others.
-- October 2008: Two neo-Nazis are arrested in Tennessee in a plot to murder dozens of African-Americans, culminating in the assassination of President Obama.
-- December 2008: A pair of "Patriot" movement radicals -- the father-son team of Bruce and Joshua Turnidge, who wanted "to attack the political infrastructure" -- threaten a bank in Woodburn, Oregon, with a bomb in the hopes of extorting money that would end their financial difficulties, for which they blamed the government. Instead, the bomb goes off and kills two police officers. The men eventually are convicted and sentenced to death for the crime.
-- December 2008: In Belfast, Maine, police discover the makings of a nuclear "dirty bomb" in the basement of a white supremacist shot dead by his wife. The man, who was independently wealthy, reportedly was agitated about the election of President Obama and was crafting a plan to set off the bomb.
-- January 2009: A white supremacist named Keith Luke embarks on a killing rampage in Brockton, Mass., raping and wounding a black woman and killing her sister, then killing a homeless man before being captured by police as he is en route to a Jewish community center.
-- February 2009: A Marine named Kody Brittingham is arrested and charged with plotting to assassinate President Obama. Brittingham also collected white-supremacist material.
-- April 2009: A white supremacist named Richard Poplawski opens fire on three Pittsburgh police officers who come to his house on a domestic-violence call and kills all three, because he believed President Obama intended to take away the guns of white citizens like himself. Poplawski is currently awaiting trial.
-- April 2009: Another gunman in Okaloosa County, Florida, similarly fearful of Obama's purported gun-grabbing plans, kills two deputies when they come to arrest him in a domestic-violence matter, then is killed himself in a shootout with police.
-- May 2009: A "sovereign citizen" named Scott Roeder walks into a church in Wichita, Kansas, and assassinates abortion provider Dr. George Tiller.
-- June 2009: A Holocaust denier and right-wing tax protester named James Von Brunn opens fire at the Holocaust Museum, killing a security guard.
-- February 2010: An angry tax protester named Joseph Ray Stack flies an airplane into the building housing IRS offices in Austin, Texas. (Media are reluctant to label this one "domestic terrorism" too.)
-- March 2010: Seven militiamen from the Hutaree Militia in Michigan and Ohio are arrested and charged with plotting to assassinate local police officers with the intent of sparking a new civil war.
-- March 2010: An anti-government extremist named John Patrick Bedell walks into the Pentagon and opens fire, wounding two officers before he is himself shot dead.
-- May 2010: A "sovereign citizen" from Georgia is arrested in Tennessee and charged with plotting the violent takeover of a local county courthouse.
-- May 2010: A still-unidentified white man walks into a Jacksonville, Fla., mosque and sets it afire, simultaneously setting off a pipe bomb.
-- May 2010: Two "sovereign citizens" named Jerry and Joe Kane gun down two police officers who pull them over for a traffic violation, and then wound two more officers in a shootout in which both of them are eventually killed.
-- July 2010: An agitated right-winger and convict named Byron Williams loads up on weapons and drives to the Bay Area intent on attacking the offices of the Tides Foundation and the ACLU, but is intercepted by state patrolmen and engages them in a shootout and armed standoff in which two officers and Williams are wounded.
-- September 2010: A Concord, N.C., man is arrested and charged with plotting to blow up a North Carolina abortion clinic. The man, 26-year--old Justin Carl Moose, referred to himself as the "Christian counterpart to (Osama) bin Laden in a taped undercover meeting with a federal informant.

Note the connection between anti-semiticism and all the rest of it. I've seen images of the Obama lynching since 2008 online. That's really just a small sample.

Yes, they are a threat, even if we dont want to acknowledge it. For example, Kansas Governor Brownback is addressing and helping to lead a group that is planning an armed revolution against the Constitution. They want to create a Christian version of Irans religious Sharia law. There are thousands of them, and they are serious.
Fox News staffer General Paul Vallely is part of a planned armed military coup against our Constitutional government, and he says so straight up. His is a greater betrayal, since he swore an oath to preserve and protect the same Constitution he now plans to destroy. He has millions of viewers, and is very serious indeed.
At the low end of the spectrum, we have US Congresscritter Michael Grimm, who recently threatened to break a reporter in half
like a boy when the newsie was asking a question. He might get in trouble for it, but the fact that the rest of the Republican caucus tolerates his violent behavior shows us that the millions of Right-Wingers, Teabaggers, Fundagelicals and Republicans as a whole have embraced violence as an acceptable way of doing business.
Our country was founded by people of divergent views, who decided to create a system where we settled our differences with ballots instead of bullets. Once before, the Right-Wing predecessors of the modern-day Repubs launched a civil war to try and kill everyone who disagreed with them. Today, it is the Right-Wingers that make up the GOP who are threatening to kill the rest of us if they dont get their way.
The truly scary thing is: I am not exaggerating: click those links and read for yourself. If the Repubs cant win elections, they will use violence to destroy America as we know it, and build
well, they cant agree on that yet. But that isnt stopping them.

The Koch Brothers Are Funding a Coup Against the USA
http://www.thepinkflamingoblog.com/2013/10/05/the-koch-brothers-are-funding-a-coup-against-the-usa/
Of course this will never be on Faux News or CNN, not to be expected that they would. But the Koch brothers had their own special place of honor at the RNC in Tampa in 2012. Everyone who tried to talk them was forcibly shoved out.
They have been increasingly open and make public statements now, emboldened by Citizens United. Rachel Maddow is calling them out, as did Harry Reid. And so has Obama.
There are other sources, if this is to be disputed, but look at that face. And their goals and tactics mimic the same era.

dem in texas
(2,674 posts)Dallas was awash in Republican right wing anger and hate, supported by wealthy Texas oilmen. LBJ and Lady Bird were attacked by Republican women two years before Kennedy was killed. These nice little ladies in their hats and gloves hit and spit on the Johnsons and they had to have police to protect them.
In 1963, a few months before Kennedy was killed, Adlai Stephenson visited Dallas and he too was attacked by right wingers, they hit him over the head with their signs.
I have been concerned about all the hyped rhetoric for some time, calling people Nazis and comparing things today with the Holocaust. Saying "you lie" to the President in the middle of the state of the union speech. I wish the Republicans had a strong leader who would step and tell these crazy people to tone it down.

Since the President took office in 2008, the rate of threats against the president has increased 400%. ...
