Far-right radio talk show host demands congressmen and women be hanged...

For not attending Netenyahu's speech.

Far-Right Pundit: Hang Officials Who Skip Netanyahu's Speech To Congress

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Monday, 3/2/2015 12:00 pm

WorldNetDaily commentator and fringe radio host Andrea Shea King wants to punish elected officials who plan to skip Benjamin Netanyahu’s controversial address to the U.S. Congress tomorrow…by putting them to death. King said on her radio program last month that such officials shouldn’t just “pay with their jobs” but should also “pay with their lives.” “I would like to think that these guys could pay with their lives, hanging from a noose in front of the U.S. Capitol Building,” she said. “What they are doing is they are putting their own interests above that of America, and to me that is criminal.” King specifically suggested hanging members of the Congressional Black Caucus, saying “their districts are all dumb clucks because these dumb clucks wouldn’t be electing these people if they knew better.” “How do people like this get to represent us in Congress?” she asked. “Because there are stupid people out there in those congressional districts who are so ignorant it’s dangerous…. Stupid, stupid people. Our lives are on the line and all they can think of is skin color. All of us will turn black if we end up in a cage on fire.”

Now, if that isn't one of the more accurate observations about the Tea Party I've seen, I'll eat Donald Trump's head mascot.

of the TEAPARTy.

This is what the teaparty is, they ALL want to hang you if you arent one of them, they just wont say it in mixed company.

It seems like it is almost daily where I have to make this speech.

Where what seems like a rightwing crazee extremist says something, but where I must say they are NOT extremists at all, they are mainstream teaparty

That would be true if she was referring to Netanyahu, AIPAC, and the Republican Party.

Netanyahu wants to drag us into a war with Iran.

The R's are licking AIPAC's boots and, as usual, pandering to their base by trying to paint Obama as siding with Islamic radicals against our allies.

16. Isn't that illegal?
Mon Mar 2, 2015, 02:52 PM
Mar 2015

I would think it's illegal on several counts. First there is threatening the lives of members of Congress or inciting violence against them - I seem to recall that is illegal some how...?

The noose reference might be construed as a hate crime if it is aimed at black members of Congress or members standing in solidarity with black members of Congress.

I think this is also good set up for a Benjamin Franklin quip though - about hanging together or hanging separately!

the hands of the 1% and the corporations. They intentionally have their politicians and media conglomerates ramp up the already hyper-Partisianship to keep us fighting amoungst ourselves and distract us from the fact that they actually control our government through campaign donations, Super PACs, and the revolving door.
We should talk about nothing else but the corruption caused by our deeply flawed campaign finance system. The cure is Publically Funded Elections!

Here you are talking about the First Lady of the United States:

Michelle Larue Robinson Obama (Soetoro) is a self-loathing female who’s gonna make you pay and pay and pay because she grew up hating that she wasn’t you. Hating that she was born black, grew to be basketball player tall, had a bulky, un-proportioned, and overweight body, was born black, big-footed, ashy-skinned, kinky-haired, bug-eyed and bushy eyebrowed. Did I mention that she was born black, had a cro-magnon lower jaw, wide nose, and a chip on her even wider shoulders because she was born black and grew up learning that whitey was the enemy. That it was all whitey’s fault then, and would ever be.


I won't include the link because I don't want to add to traffic to her shit website, but Google it for yourself. It's there.

Where are out law enforcement officials who might examine/investigate the hateful rhetoric that incites others to violence ... fermenting violent behavior and attacks on duly elected officials ought to be a call to action by those authorized to "serve and protect" at the highest levels.

Hm - isn't it illegal to threaten a member of the US Congress? - In most countries it is a crime to threaten the members of the Parliament - or in the case of the US, the US Congress - as officials who is elected to the highest offices of the land - as they should be able to do their business, without a "beholden pen" so to say...

I think this woman need to be visited by the Secret Service - and maybe even the local authorities and be told a little about how things really work, and that it is not a smart move to threaten any member of the Congress, or Senate with a death treat - who this basically is regardless of the 1 admedment...

Funny how we (usgov) can react to some threats such as Bundy (or whatever his name was) by just trying to contain them instead of confronting them.

Yet, we can treat other threats such as existential, potential terrorists and whisk them off to concentration camps (extraordinary rendition and Gitmo) and torture/murder them.

This p.o.s., along with the other RW spouting machines may need to be swept up in some form of "Rapture-Capture" for a bit of real education. After all, this is better than the sh(e)it is asking to be done to congress.

I think the US goverment need to handle this in a whole different way than they do current - maybe it is time to show this gentleman, and woman, and others whose is in charge - and it is not them who are in sharge.... Bundy et all should have been arrested where they was - by federal troops by doing what they was doing - not being playing nice with - they threaten public officials with weapons - and was making a lot of trouble for everyone who was living in the area around - and that alone should have been enough for federal troops to be sent in - and order restored - if necessary the local sheriffs should be replaced by someone out of the district - or even out of the State if needed... But then, thats just my opinion about it - if local sherrifs dosen't know their place - the federal government better teach them who's are in sharge or not - regardness of local customs and laws - or for that matter State laws... When things settle, some can allways discuss the finer print of the law the next decade or so...

What the conservatives, and the right wingers in US are doing - is trying, again, and again to make the case against federal government - an to try their best to make sure one of this days some got tired about them - and really use the hammer against them... or maybe they belive they do have some good given right to intemitate others, by treating to shoot pepole who dosen't like their ideals.... They are the danger to the US - I suspect even ISIL are not as dangrous to US, than the current crop of extreme conservatives in the US - who want to turn their back on the world - and turn it back to ca 1800...
