California GOP Candidate Wants To ‘Issue Hunting Permits’ For Conservatives To ‘Thin’ The Liberal ‘Herd’

In California’s 11th congressional district, there are four people running for the Republican nomination in the June primary election. One of the front-runners is Brad Goehring, who posted a message on his Facebook wall this week, declaring “hunting season” on liberals:

If I could issue hunting permits, I would officially declare today opening day for liberals. The season would extend through November 2 and have no limits on how many taken as we desperately need to “thin” the herd.

How bout a Goehring fundraiser where we have a liberal shooting gallery and do it swat style through buildings and include a Tea Party rally for the patriots!! Ahuh!!

“all these Tim McVeigh wannabes”

April 6, 2010 in Right Wing, Sean Hannity, Tea Baggers, Terrorism, Violence, Wingnuts | 1 comment

Been pretty busy lately with school work, but could not let this nugget go by without a comment.

Watch as Sean Hannity’s (R-Teabaggerstan) audience applauds him calling them “Tim McVeigh wannabes” — as if that’s a GOOD thing.

What does this even mean?  Taken with Fox’s News implicit approval of Teabaggers, it would seem that Sean Hannity is proudly encouraging them to emulate McVeigh. If the Baggers go violent, might we look at charging Sean with incitement?

Is this free speech as we understand the 1st Amendment grants? It seems to me that Sean just yelled “FIRE!” in a movie house.

But wingnut Teabaggers don’t want to see the following photo, nor do they want to think about what may result from their racist white supremacist anti government insanity.

Glenn Beck Calls for “Eradication” of Americans.

February 22, 2010 in Glenn Beck, Republican Party, Right Wing, Tea Baggers, Terrorism, Violence, Wingnuts | 11 comments

Progressivism is the cancer in America and it is eating our Constitution. And it was designed to eat the Constitution…It must be cut out of the system because they cannot co-exist. And you don’t cure cancer by – well, I’m just going to give you a little bit of cancer. You must eradicate it.

Where did the progressives go; where did they come from? All of a sudden, I’m not a liberal, I’m a progressive…Every time they wake America up to their policies, they have to change their names…They’re running out of names.

Please don’t pretend that there is a difference between progressives and liberals, that’s akin to insisting Hitler only detested Judaism but had nothing against Jews.

How is Beck’s demand for eradication of a large group of Americans different from a genocidal bin Laden fatwa?

Why is a lone, disgruntled engineer with a small airplane who committed a terrorist act in Austin Texas being lauded as a hero by the Tea Party Wing of the GOP?

Domestic terrorism in Austin?

February 19, 2010 in Scott Brown, Terrorism, Violence, Wingnuts | No comments

A software engineer named Joe Stack upset with the Internal Revenue Service set fire to his home Thursday and then flew his plane into a multistory office building that houses federal tax employees, authorities said.  Stack, apparently a deranged man with a grudge against the government in general, and the Internal Revenue Service in specific, killed at least three people, including himself.

Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.) not wanting this opportunity to go to waste then rationalizing the actions of a domestic terrorist.

“I don’t know if it’s related but I can just sense not only in my election, but since being here in Washington, people are frustrated. They want transparency. They want their elected officials to be accountable and open and talk about the things affecting their daily lives. So I am not sure if there is a connection, I certainly hope not, but we need to do things better.”

He then added , “No one likes paying taxes obviously.”

So, let me get this straight. An anti-government nut flies an airplane into a building and Scott Brown thinks the incident reminds him of … his own election?  Brown almost seems to say Stack’s actions can be understood if we just appreciate how “frustrated” people are.

This guy is a United States senator? Seriously?

Couldn’t you just imagine the headlines?

December 29, 2009 in Bush Administration, Hypocrisy, Obama Administration, Republican Party, Terrorism, Violence | No comments

Obama’s Transportation Security Administration (TSA) failed to screen for bombs lead to Christmas Day bombing of Airline!

The problem with this headline is that it was Republican lawmakers who opposed funding for the TSA, including money for screening operations and explosives detection systems.

President Obama doesn’t take the terrorist threat seriously! TSA leadership is seriously lacking.

The problem with this healine is that one right-wing GOP senator (Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C.) won’t let the Senate vote on the president’s clearly-qualified nominee (Erroll Southers, a former FBI special agent and a counterterrorism expert).

Terrorist released by Obama return to strike America!

The problem here is:

Two of the four leaders allegedly behind the al Qaeda plot to blow up a Northwest Airlines passenger jet over Detroit were released by the U.S. from the Guantanamo prison in November 2007 (by President Bush), according to American officials and Department of Defense documents. Al Qaeda claimed responsibility for the Northwest bombing in a Monday statement that vowed more attacks on Americans.
American officials agreed to send the two terrorists from Guantanamo to Saudi Arabia, where they entered into an “art therapy rehabilitation program” and were set free, according to U.S. and Saudi officials.

Just imagine the Republican response if Barack Obama or Bill Clinton had released prisoners to enter an “art therapy rehabilitation program.” This sounds almost as silly as an American president in the Nuclear Age, sitting and reading a children’s book for seven minutes all the while told the country is under attack.

Right-wingers showing their true colors, all day, everyday.

October 11, 2009 in Republican Party, Right Wing, Violence | 4 comments

The Associated Press reported on Thursday that the South Florida-based Southeast Broward Republican Club held an event earlier this week at a gun range. The aims, said club president Ed Napolitano, were to have fun, educate club members who were new to shooting — and send a political message.

The targets included silhouettes of Muslim stereotypes and of a full-body silhouette with “DWS” written next to its head.

The GOP candidate CEO Robert Lowry to replace U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) in 2010, fired at the full-body silhouette where “DWS” was written.

“A conservative activist said they should stand up for their beliefs in the heavily Democratic county”

And those beliefs evidently include shooting at and killing fellow Americans. This is what Wing-nut Conservatives find humorous and entertaining. I guess for the GOP, if there’s not a thinly, veiled threat of violence, it’s just not any fun.

Rep. Wasserman Schultz is quietly doing her job whilst secretly battling breast cancer – GOP candidate Robert Lowry is at the gun range shooting at her effigy.

Stay classy Republicans…
