Simply one of the best replies to the Right wing hate machine, EVER!

[DainBramaged]

Set up:

I'm reading the article on MSNBC about the Right wing pushback on the events of Saturday;

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/41006982/ns/politics/

Conservatives scoff at attempted linkage to shooting


And down in the comments was a reply by LiberalMike;

"My heart goes out to Glen Beck, Rush Limbaugh and the rest. They seem to feel that they need to defend themselves rather than mourn for those lost, and try to change to be more civil. Maybe it is because a more civil tone in political discussion would put them out of business."

LiberalMike is my new hero. I hope he joins us here.

Sorry, I'm new here. I like his style, though! LOL

[polmaven]

Welcome to DU! :hi:

[Kajsa]

4. Yep, this is what makes them the merchants of hate. n/t

[Raschel]

38. Hate merchants. Perfect.

[MindandSoul]

5. Very good statement! Still . . .my heart doesn't go out to them!

[Dappleganger]

6. That is excellent!

[gratuitous]

7. Sure, Rep. Giffords got shot in the head, but what about Rush and his feelings?

God, you libruls and your incessant whining! Oh, somebody got shot, oh, somebody got killed, oh, one of them was a nine-year-old girl! Boo hoo hoo! Have you stopped, even once, to think about how this is going to make Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh and all the millionaire entertainers at Fox feel? You're all just so heartless!

[Angry Dragon]

13. I listened to rush today

For 3 hours all he talked about how the right was being attacked.
How everyone was blaming him and palin for the violence
At about the 2 1/2 mark he mentioned "there was a tragedy"
those were the only words he said about the people that were killed or injured
Talk about a pig that only cares about his own

I did hear that his wife #4 really likes the Christmas present of the pool boy from rentboy.com that rush got her

[DainBramaged]

14. Great point, NO sympathy for the dead, NONE.

He is a piece of shit. When he sees St. Peter, naked and penniless like the rest of us, his path will not be up.....

[Angry Dragon]

16. Everlasting life for rush will be that he come back as

an urinal or toilet

[DainBramaged]

17. Shit shovel in a sewage plant.....even better.......

And used round the clock 24/7

[Ikonoklast]

42. That would be his idea of Heaven.

[CLANG]

62. Toilet - So he gets it from both ends

22. Hasn't she heard that he likes the pool boys too

I mean the really young ones that come cheap like down in the DR
He is a worthless piece of shit and anyone who listens to him on a regular basis is not much better in my opinion. And I do know the worth of an opinion

54. "Wow, I know for a fact that Rush makes more per year than you do."

So?:shrug: What does that have to do with the price of tea in China?

[Hailtothechimp]

27. I listened for 30 seconds and heard this nugget:

"Hate speech is anything that disagrees with Democrat party leaders"

What sort of a simpleton buys into this shit?

[russspeakeasy]

39. The same simpletons who listen to his shit, including my mailman who

has the volume turned up to sonic levels while he goes merrily
on his way delivering the wrong mail to the wrong address.. 

[Harry Monroe]

40. Unfortunately, lots of simpletons out there

29. That comes as no surprise. nt

[underpants]

60. I heard some at lunch - yes of course his first instinct is to play victim

the sick irony of that needs no further mention

He went on a diatribe (couldn't muster up "magnitude" in his pea brain) about grandiose statements about the left and the right mostly stating that the left makes grandiose statements and thinks that everything is about them.

Right - facts logic
Left - beliefs ideals "utopia"

He then went on and on about how the right don't think about what might have caused something or what might cause something to happen they just take the event on its own terms. He admitted that they don't think ahead and have no idea about cause and effect. Oh but actually the Sheriff is only now attacking HIM (he is a victim in this) because the Sheriff didn't prevent it from happening. The Sheriff didn't think into the future....like he just bragged about his kind not doing.

He then asked if the shooter was on unemployment and spitballed as to whether or not the mentally ill should be allowed to receive unemployment. This was meant to be a joke but it was in satirical form which means his listeners have no idea that he is making a joke and probably don't care the levels of supposition or sickness that it contains.

I pulled into a bakery and got my boss just back from maternity leave some cupcakes. I listened to something else on the way back to the office....as most people do.

[The Wielding Truth]

50. Any sane person with a consciences would step back and stop the

their violent overtones and language that could have contributed to this horrible incident.

Even IF it didn't effect this specific case, these veiled threats undermine the respect one person owes another and instills mistrust in relationships.

Do you teach your children to threaten others?

Isn't that bullying?

Hasn't that in it's self caused awful consequences?

A bully caught acts the same way as these childish selfish personalities.

[Swamp Rat]

8. Poor, little Glenn Beck!!

[malaise]

9. Perfect

Rec

[SammyWinstonJack]

11. That's exactly what those scumbag hate spewers fear. And nothing else.

[TheKentuckian]

12. That is good. Of course some of them have said such horrid stuff that

leaving the little girl alone is about all I expect from the slime.

[pokerfan]

15. if your first instinct...

I'll say this, if your first instinct after hearing about a tragedy is to scrub your websites, you have a problem as a political movement. - digby56

[DainBramaged]

21. Time to put the pud to a nap

:hi:

[DainBramaged]

18. "We're tired of all the crap that goes on!"

Sheriff Dupnik.

[HighLowRoller87]

19. LOL! Awesome. Figures his message was collapsed

By the Conservative Community. The truth hurts.

[DainBramaged]

20. And welcome to DU, I love when newcomers make their first posts in my threads

:hi:

[Thunderstruck]

23. In that case...Hi!

Pleased to meet you, though I have lurked for awhile and have read many of your posts.

:hi:

(Not my first post, but pretty close :) )

[HighLowRoller87]

33. OH! LOL!! Thank you kindly!!

:hi: back

[DainBramaged]

34. My absolute pleasure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:hug:

[krispos42]

24. *snort*

LOL

[JSK]

25. I wonder if Mike Malloy wrote that

He said something similar on his show tonight. :-)

[DainBramaged]

26. Isn't his show on at 9AM and rebroadcast? I've tried calling in and got no answer?

[Catherina]

32. Excellent. Rec'd. n/t

[sulphurdunn]

35. More innocent people are dead and maimed

and odds are extremely good that right wing ranters and pols contributed to it. If they didn't it wasn't for lack of wanting it. What matters now is that the hate mongers are on the defense and need to be kept there. They need to be framed as the inciters to political violence they are. Then maybe they can be silenced before this pattern of bloodshed repeats itself again.

[Kajsa]

37. I cannot recommend this enough!

LiberalMike nailed it!

:applause:

[florida08]

41. kick kick kick and

:kick:

[BrklynLiberal]

43. Superb insight. The truth of it is blinding.

[bobburgster]

44. Excellent comment!

Right on target. k&R

[Daphne08]

45. LiberalMike is right. n/t

[aquart]

46. Great. Your dancing image is forcing me to change my settings.

Now I won't be able to see anything to keep from being distraction blinded by your blinking images.

[DainBramaged]

48. What blinking images? How many fingers am I holding up?

[whathehell]

49. FABULOUS.

[Thav]

55. The right wing propaganda machine has nothing to do with this.

After all, they're just talking. They don't mean anything they say, over and over again, about violence against political opponents. Their violent rhetoric is just words after all, and words don't incite people to violence and never have.

"According to recent commentators, the news media played a crucial role in the genocide; local print and radio media fueled the killings while the international media either ignored or seriously misconstrued events on the ground.<14> The print media in Rwanda is believed to have started hate speech against Tutsis, which was later continued by radio stations." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rwandan_Genocide)

"Certainly the Nazis recognised the importance of radio in disseminating their message and to that end Goebbels approved a scheme whereby millions of cheap radio sets (the Volksempfänger) were subsidised by the government."

"Defiant in the face of growing international pressure, Gbagbo reiterated a call on state television on Saturday for the peacekeeping mission to leave Ivory Coast, accusing it of opening fire on civilians.
The mission rejected a similar accusation on its website three days ago as "lies" and said the state-owned broadcaster was spreading misinformation to incite hatred against it." (http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20110102/ts_nm/us_ivorycoast)

Nope, a message of violence and hatred repeated over and over and over never leads to a violent end, and never has.

[Maineman]

56. Excellent, simple, and too the point.

[Rectangle]

57. likewise you could add Sarah Palin to that list. Apologizing to the

families and to America would absolutely destroy her schtick.
It would be like throwing water on the Wicked Witch of the West!

[Mike 03]

58. Fantastic but Poignant.

The defensiveness of he RW is the best evidence ever that they have something to feel guilty about. Thanks for this excellent post.

[pasto76]

59. can we just call this what it was? AN ASSASSINATION attempt!

not a "shooting" or a "mass murder", this was an attempted assassination of a sitting Congresswoman.

[rhett o rick]

61. Is the picture of the cat from Pasado's near Seattle? If so, i think that's the cat I have "adopted"

there.

[DainBramaged]

65. I pulled that sweetie from Icanhascheezburger a couple of years ago

We're both one-eyed and well, mean looking, but with hearts of gold.

[Swagman]

63. well put LiberalMike !

[rtassi]

64. bingo .. all the outrage advertising money can buy

[liberalmike27]

66. Well I wish it was me

But it isn't--I tend to be much meaner, and long-winded.

He does seem to like FDR, my favorite president too though.
