Hunting season has been declared, folks. Jews, gays, 'abortionists', people of color, immigrants...

[Bluebear]

Years of Limbaugh and Coulter brainwashing undereducated and off-kilter minds are coming home to roost.

Bumper sticker seen by DU member rhythm:

[marmar]

1. You know it......

Black president, Immigration, Economic despair, States approving gay marriage, the always present anti-Semitism and anti-Islamism....

It's the perfect storm. The "true believers" are starting their own civil war.

[Bluebear]

3. 'It's the perfect storm.'

:scared:

Well put, friend. And frighteningly accurate.

[Blue_Tires]

14. don't forget about Obama endorsing "teh soshulizms"...

just mere mention of that word sends people in my area right back to the gun store...

[Mari333]

2. watch your backs

[Birthmark]

17. Watch your backs indeed.

That's the direction from which cowards prefer to attack.

[babylonsister]

4. I hope this doesn't become so commonplace that

it's ever acceptable. It's very sad and creepy.

[EFerrari]

5. Limbaugh has been at it for twenty years. That means,

there are adults walking around who've never known anything else but the climate of hate he's perfected.

[rockymountaindem]

6. The man on MSNBC said, correctly, that there's a backlash from people who really dislike Blacks

because there is a black President, and who hate Jews, because there are so many Jews in his administration etc.

I just said to myself "it didn't seem to bother these same people when there were plenty of Jews in the Bush administration". I guess it's just situation: critical for the whack-jobs now.

[Parker CA]

11. The guy is still on, Jack something, he's speaking 100% truth about this. Calling out

the mindset and the motivation very clearly and explaining exactly why these people are doing what they're doing. All bigoted, racist, hateful motivations. It's good to hear someone laying it out so clearly though.

[Dramarama]

42. Wasn't the guy anti-Catholic.

What's Biden?!?!?!
j/k

[JonLP24]

7. Republican leadership owe my former governor Napolitano an apology

Over the memo warning of right wing extremists.

[Bluebear]

10. +1

[Parker CA]

13. Yep. That document was spot-on. Not even two months later and there have been two attacks

from these nut bags.

[lxlxlxl]

8. this type of hate only comes from one side of the political fence now

the balance has tilted definitively

[EFerrari]

16. Exactly. The left in this country is not the opposite of the right.

The right has been corrupted and deformed for years now. We don't have people on AM radio 24/7 encouraging hatred and violence.

[villager]

9. When does our "Change" administration use RICO to go after them?

n/t

[Winterblues]

12. All we need is more guns.

:shrug:

[jfkraus]

15. ...and tax cuts!

[TK421]

27. and ALMIGHTY GAWD on our side!

[SIMPLYB1980]

18. Isn't it time that Homeland Security to go after some of these

terrorist before they start killing people?:shrug:

[Bluebear]

20. Napolitano was shouted down over her "right-wing extremism on the rise" report

:(

[JonLP24]

21. Janet Napolitano certainly warned of such things

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/04/14/homeland-security-report_n_186834.html

And she got blasted by the republican leadership in both houses.

[SIMPLYB1980]

22. Yeah I remember that. I was upset with them giving in on that,

but I think it may have been an attempt to try and not rile them up as much and still get the word out. I said back when it happened things would get worse, and sadly they have. I really wanted to be wrong about that one.

[JonLP24]

25. She was right about one thing

It would probaly be a lone wolf or a small terror cell. Lone wolfs are very difficult to stop before hand, especially if they are private and don't let alot of people in on what they are going to do.

[SIMPLYB1980]

31. Yeah I get the fact that a lone wolf is hard to stop,

but this guy will probably have violated laws in his past that he should have done time for. Like the guy who killed George Tiller. Seams more could be done is all I'm saying.

[JonLP24]

33. Oh I couldn't agree more

I'm no expert in law enforcement and I do know law enforcement has recieved such a type of warning 2 months in advance so they were aware. I'm sure many are monitoring such groups and I feel you about the Tiller assassin. He clearly did show such a type of behavior. At the same type I don't want it to lead such a type of a Patriot Act that infringes on constitutional protected rights to detain such people but I believe you can prevent attacks without violating the constitution and at the same type you can stop every crime.

[JonLP24]

34. I take it back

According to Tam'ron Hall and Shuster he had an extensive criminal record said he was convicted by a negro jury, a jew attorney, etc. Spent sometime in prison. There was red flags all over the place on this guy and we lock up muslims for less.

[DCKit]

41. Everyone knows the Quakers are the real threat.

:sarcasm:

[kjackson227]

19. So true, and I'm so scared for President Obama.

[Joanne98]

23. Don't forget socialists.

[EFerrari]

24. Given how anti-social these right wing extremists are, it's no wonder

they vilify any term that includes a variant of "social" or "community". :crazy:

[readmoreoften]

36. They're so idiotic they think they have that covered with union "rallys" and

"Democrat conventions"...

28. Saw this on a pick-up the other day...

Made me just about pissed enough to apply for a concealed-carry permit.

[Bluebear]

29. I will include that in the OP...

if OK with you! A perfect illustration.

[Rhythm]

30. Fine by me...

I'm hosting the image, and though i did Google it to get it, i saw one myself here in north-central WV just 2 days ago.

[OneGrassRoot]

32. I've seen that sticker on trucks around here (NC)....

Supposedly the shooter from today is a member of Mensa.

While lack of education (or friggin ability or desire to READ) makes the Faux/Limbaugh audience fertile ground to sew hatred with lies and fear mongering, there are plenty of well-educated people with a similar worldview.

Racism doesn't necessarily depend upon education. Indoctrination perhaps, not education.

I'm rather obsessed with the whole subject matter of these two worldviews we have in this country (and other nations probably suffer from the same).

There probably isn't one pat answer as to what creates a racist/bigot/homophobe. I wish there was a concrete common denominator.

[readmoreoften]

35. Not union rallys. Union RALLIES. If you're going to shoot me, at least get your grammar right.

Other than the Democrat conventions, the handgun control meeting, and the Hollywood functions, I could be at any of those events.

[Bluebear]

37. PS what is a lesbian luncheon?

I would love to go on bring-a-brother-to-lunch day!

[EndersDame]

45. Aw Shit. I would NEVER try to start any shit around union members

those guys mean business.

[flvegan]

38. I'm willing to bet that the type of person that would have that sticker

is likely the biggest coward in the room. That said, advertising such hate and bigotry should be Exhibit A to the additional charges of premeditation and hate if anyone sporting one of those actually does anything.

I hope a nice, liberal cop pulls them over next time they're speeding.

Miserable fuckers, the lot of them.

[paulsby]

39. military recruiters too

the incident that gets no play.

[Kaleva]

43. I think there were two threads on it.

[stevietheman]

40. It's past-time for those of us on the left to arm ourselves, for self-protection. n/t

44. It's no wonder I stay far away from my neighbor.
