1. Rush Limbaugh: "I tell people don't kill all the liberals. Leave enough so we can have two on every campus – living fossils – so we will never forget what these people stood for."

2. Senator Phil Gramm: "We're going to keep building the party until we're hunting Democrats with dogs."

3. Rep. James Hansen on Bill Clinton: Get rid of the guy. Impreach him, censure him, assassinate him."

4. John Derbyshire intimated in the National Review that because Chelsea Clinton had "the taint," she should "be killed."

5. Ann Coulter: "We need to execute people like John Walker in order to physically intimidate liberals, by making them realize that they can be killed, too."

6. Ann Coulter: "My only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times building."

7. Bill O'Reilly: "ll those clowns over at the liberal radio network, we could incarcerate them immediately. Will you have that done, please? Send over the FBI and just put them in chains."

8. Clear Channel radio host Glenn Beck said he was "thinking about killing Michael Moore" and pondered whether "I could kill him myself, or if I would need to hire somebody to do it," before concluding: "No, I think I could. I think he could be looking me in the eye, you know, and I could just be choking the life out -- is this wrong?"

Here's some other hate -

1. Mel Gibson on Frank Rich: "I want to kill him. I want his entrails on a stick. I want to kill his dog."

2. Fresno City Council Member Jerry Duncan in 2003 wrote in an email that police should "Cap" members of the Human Relations Commission and wrote, "If I had one dirty bomb and I could eliminate all the liberals in Fresno at once." When his comments became public, Duncan said "The response I have gotten from the public on this has been 100% supportive."

3. World Socialist newsletter about how "Republican Right prepares for violence"

4. Shooter/Murderer wanted to "kill liberals who are ruining the country", had books of Hannity and other right wing GOPers who told they were doing such - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_Knoxville_Unitarian_U...

THIS is the kind of thing I've referred to as "far right" and this kind of thing is why I can't be casual, as others here can be, about accepting another Republican president in the name of proving my "independence".

Remember, if you vote for Nader or McKinney, you're voting to leave these people with unchallengable power.

It's closer to 1933 down here than some of you may realize.

It's enough to show "independence" by voting third-party down ticket and working for electoral reform. That's where it's worthwhile.

When are Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly or Beck running for president? Or any government office, for that matter?

We do need a robust social democratic movement. That can only be built from the local level up.
I support building it from the bottom up. I try to help in doing that.

it's only at the local level that it can be done.

Republicans issuing death threats

quote:

---

"Obama and his wife are never going to make it to the White House. He needs to be taken out and I can do it in a heartbeat," Leddy quoted Blanchard as saying. The witness also heard Blanchard discuss his intention to purchase a pistol from a gun shop and contacted federal authorities.

There are good, progressive people everywhere who care about justice.

I live in Iowa and I know a lot of them.

Think also of the churches in this Iowa town who have taken a leading role in supoorting the workers and their families affected by this raid.

The entire population of Iowa did not commit either the injustice of the working conditions at this plant, nor the injustice of the raid.

(Nor, by the way, have I ever felt in Iowa as though I was about to be in the middle of a gun fight. I did, however, Robespierre, almost step into a knife fight on the streets of Manhattan once...)

I'm pretty sure Ken is talking the language of USSocialDemocrat in this thread.

The fear that is not very far beneath the surface for some Barack Obama backers no doubt became more palpable today with word that the Secret Service has arrested a 22-year-old man in Miami on charges he threatened to kill the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee.

Found it:
I suppose the difference is that in the Upper Midwest, we do not have many Southern Baptists. What Baptists we have are American Baptists, which are more liberal than their southern brethren.

Good for you for your involvement in the CCF and then the NDP. Were that we had a similar party in the US! We are constantly having to hold our nose and vote for the "liberals". So much for US "democracy"...

In a PM to USSocialDemocrat I explained that I have two wonderful cousins and a sister-in-law in the U.S. But they are not able to articulate their beliefs. There is alsmost a fear of discussing politics. And so the lambs go to slaughter.

The good guys could link up across the 49th if the media were at all disposed. But they are all doing their own version of survival in a seriously jungle-like business world.

Susan Jacoby tells us the depth of U.S. ignorance at all levels in The Age of American Unreason. Also Al Gore. Also Robert Reich.

But the great intellectual quotient around here, full of openness and a readiness to try to understand such differences, whip out the old labels and....case closed.
