The blood of the innocent is now on YOUR mother fucking hands!
You publicized that lying bullshit video...see what this kind of pandering to the RW base brings?
Fuck you and all those who seek to deny a woman's right to medical decisions with baseless lies.
RANT OFF.

(7,234 posts)Right after the 5 unarmed black protesters got shot by a group of white supremacists in Minneapolis, a fella who is still here claimed that it didnt happen, that black lives matter doesnt exist and actually tried to suggest that the shooting victims were part of a nixon-like conspiracy to stir up unrest.
I do not know why the right continues to pander to the mentally ill for votes instead of advocating for treatment and mental health services. :shrugs:

(11,841 posts)and the rest of us, Dems and Repubs, are all not paying attention. That its all being run by "someone" outside BOTH parties.
Have you ever been to "Wellaware1.com"?
I would say THIS has to be the most far-out there site of them all. And telling us we are all sheep.
I think TV & movies play into this a lot. Ever notice that you cant have a movie about, say, a great hero in the military, without some secret group trying to "silence" him? Look at the Bourne movies, same thing. And Look at ABC's "Scandal", always some power behind the scenes REALLY running everything.
There's so much of it that some of the odd people out there start believing it all

(21,054 posts)When I was a kid...it was fear..."duck and cover" taught in school.
It graduated to the "communist take over" and finally with BushCo and the "WMD."
IMO, those appealing to the RR as a base, "abortion kills the innocent" appears to be the slogan. Unfortunately, the innocent in Colorado Springs were people who just got in the azzhat's way.

On Edit: Maybe hold these people accountable criminally for the real life consequences of their lies. That would put a stop to it quickly. Both the media companies and the guests.

(1,024 posts)More of these days and just keep them turned off and more attention drawn to alternative sources. Need to keep the internet open and unencumbered more than anything else and keep monopolies from gobbling up all the i.s.p.'s. Clip the Cable bill and donate to the sources you deem worthy of your focus.
elljay
(1,178 posts)The problem is that people naturally gravitate toward the sources with which they already know they will agree. Studies have shown that groups of people who share the same views tend to reinforce each others' viewpoints and move toward extremes. In the past, we had one set of facts from which we formed our own opinions. We now have two different sets of contradictory "facts" and no way of having a sane discussion. The information from the right-wing outlets is more likely to be untrue or manipulated, but its followers have been trained to believe that there is a vast liberal conspiracy to discredit the "truth" and therefore refuse to fact-check or accept that they are being played. While I find the liberal outlets to be more factual, there are exceptions to the rule (especially where the Israel/Palestine situation is involved). If we ever want to pull this country back together, we need to restore our national media so we can speak a common language.

As someone pointed out in another thread on the same subject, this is a perfect example of the GOP's Stochastic Terrorism. Only now it's not just coming from the pundits like Limbaugh, Beck, and Hannity, it's coming directly from the candidates!

Hepburn
(21,054 posts)I am 67 years old. When I was a freshman in college in 1967 a young lady who lived across the hall from me in the on-campus dorm DIED FROM A BACK ALLEY BUTCHER who provide her with the only solution there was at that time for an unwanted pregnancy besides hangers, knitting needles, falling down the stairs, getting punched in the stomach repeatedly and other forms of useless torture. She bled to death. That has left a mark on me for a very long time. I will never forget this event. It was totally unnecessary. What the forced birthers and anti-choicers foisted upon women back then was a situation where often the mother and fetus both died. They appear bound and determined to again return females to the same position of a lesser being.
NEVER AGAIN. No fetus has superior rights to a living, breathing human female who in consultation with her medical provider makes informed decisions about her body. PERIOD. As far as I am concerned, there is no maybe about this. A female who wants an abortion is going to get one and standing in the way of safe, legal abortion is NOT the freaking answer.
JMHO...
JustAnotherGen
(31,937 posts)Between two friends with botched abortions and one who "went to visit an Aunt" she's livid over this. As well - I have a niece - now 22 who was raped at gun point when she was 13. Know where she received mental health counseling for this? Planned Parenthood, University Avenue Rochester NY. They are god damned HEROES and they need to be left alone!

(21,054 posts)If you read above -- a few posts -- I saw first hand what happens when abortion is NOT safe and legal. Gawd, I hope NO one ever has to come across what I saw.

(4,309 posts)"NEVER AGAIN. No fetus has superior rights to a living, breathing human female who in consultation with her medical provider makes informed decisions about her body. PERIOD."
Agree 100%. Very well-said. I'm 58 and Roe v. Wade was law when I became sexually active. I know women who have had abortions and I fully respect their choice. I have always believed that abortion on demand is a good thing. If you can't have control over your own body, what do you have control over?

(65,616 posts)night knowing her lies have now caused the death of a cop? I wonder if she is just as crazy as the guy that wanted to blow up the PP building? I really wonder sometimes.
THIS is why it is so important to keep those assholes out of the WH. They are out of their minds and more dangerous to this country than any terrorist imo.
Hepburn
(21,054 posts)Yes, they are responsible. I wish there was a way to make them stop this lying bull crap. Maybe if some were made to pay for inciting this kind of ugliness it might stop some future events. However, I think some would perpetrate such violence to go for the status as martyrs in order to pave their way to heaven. Gads, these people are sick: They murder to stop what they believe is murder? WTF????

(5,103 posts)Between the first amendment and free speech, and screaming fire in the theater.
This analogy was used to protect life and does limit speech.
There is no difference between all the lies regarding PP and the theatre.
Now it's time to prosecute this deadly practice from the GOP and their radical supporters.
Speech has consequences!
Hepburn
(21,054 posts)Yes, just like falsely yelling "fire" in a crowded theater, knowingly using inflammatory lies -- that falls into that same category.
IMO, the conduct of the RW RRs -- it should have been reasonably foreseeable that certain events would follow.
that's not the way the law works
