Michael Reagan says Dean should be arrested and hung for treason.
How dare you, Michael Reagan. How dare you. I refuse to link to NewsMax, but it is easy to find.

This is hurting our country so badly. I hope all our Democrats stop being afraid and just saying what needs to be said. They are going to attack us anyway. Dean said we can't win in Iraq...and heads are bursting. This stuff has to stop.


Michael Reagan, son of the late President Ronald Reagan, is blasting Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean for declaring that the U.S. won't be able to win the war in Iraq, saying Dean ought to be "hung for treason."

"Howard Dean should be arrested and hung for treason or put in a hole until the end of the Iraq war!" Reagan told his Radio America audience on Monday."

50. No scarier that that savage Michael Savage --
who calls himself a human being. I think he is insane. I couldn't listen to him and was glad that his TV show was taken off the air.

I never listen to Ann Coulter, Dr. Laura, Michael Reagan, Hannity & Colmes, O'Reilly or Limbaugh. All of them are out of their F*in' minds.

51. How did we get to this place in our country...so many of them.
How did it happen without our knowing about it. I really did not know until 2003 when we started following Dean's campaign. We were not aware at all.

We are at a scary place now.

62. Bill Clinton spoke against the hate radio phenomena
Edited on Tue Dec-06-05 08:17 AM by karynnj
I think in 1993 - shortly after he became President. Like you, I didn't listen to hate radio and was shocked to hear and see the % of talk radio and cable TV was controlled by the very far right.

The replacement of news with opinion is the other problem. The cable "news" channels aren't. Even some of the people with journalism credentials seem to have abandoned basic standards. (Andrea Mitchell, who was a good reporter, commented on one of the cable shows about some Kerry economic comments - without mentioning that Alan Greenspan was her husband when she defended him.)

This is crazy. My concern is that some lunatic listening to them will attempt to kill one of the Democrats that these people talk of shooting for treason. The nasty talk show hosts likely don't really think shooting Dean, Kerry, Kennedy, or Durbin is justified, but some of their audience is less stable.

Has someone organized a complaint to the FCC? What would his complicity be if people took this seriously? This should offend people well beyond any 2 second exposure of Janet Jackson's breast.

87. Whatever Bill Clinton said about the hate radio phenomenon
is overshadowed by his signing of the Telecommunications Act of 1996. What a bad idea that has been; more harmful than anyone knows, I fear.

We've been out here, things just didn't get bad enough for most to notice. Raygun began the end-game and (almost) everyone went along in the hopes they would be able to get their snouts in the trough.

96. We got here because people finally began to accept that greed was
good. And you have churches out there that are telling their congregation that it's okay to wish bad things on people, like Barbara Walters.

We are becoming more fragmented as a nation because a few Republicans can profit from the chaos; and the rest of them are too stupid to realize that they're too low on the pyramid to benefit from the trickle down effect.

I find no better support for Dean's comments than Nixon's own words from 1969.

23. I also wonder about the legality of things....
RWers say in this regard. O'Reilly calls for a terrorist attack on San Fran; Michael Moore's life is threatened by a RW radio goon; Robertson's remark re. Chavez and now this simpleton son of a *reknowned* simpleton.

There are laws on the books against inciting people to violent acts against American citizens. No one seems interested in enforcing them. Even the left won't advocate prosecution in cases like the above.... citing usually ( and foolishly) free speech concerns.

I say people who threaten the lives of American citizens should be prosecuted to the extent the laws allow. What we seem to have now is a situation where the right can incite to violence with impunity while the left would unquestionably be hounded by the FEDS and local prosecutors for making analagous statements.

63. Shouldn't someone (not Dean) organize a letter writing
canpaign to the FCC? He should be off the air. This has become standard practice for some of these hate mongers - who in addition to Dean, have called Kerry, Kennedy, Durbin and others traitors, who should be arrested, tried and excecuted. Here they've gone a step further and simply asked that he be shot.

94. That's when they are most dangerous. We need to find out how the US
bred so many malignant narcissists.

Actually, they probably don't number more here than elsewhere, they are just given more visibility here. And we know why that is: the long, planned takeover of all forms of media by the kind of people who view malignant narcissism as a useful trait to exploit. The kind of people who think the ends justify the means, that lies to achieve those means are noble.

I hope this wakes up some people as to how serious it is getting
when jumping on the backwagon to attack some Dems who are attempting to do what they can do to aid us in getting control back of our country once again..

for some it seems it is so easy, if the last seven years is not proof enough as to how serious it is they we do not allow them to continue to play this game of outing valued members of this party one at a time, I just don't know what will wake some up...

Unity folks, it is surely needed if one is to win this "War ON Terror", and it is pretty obvious at least to me who the real terrorists are fast becoming..

12. Last year in Los Angeles, Dean said something people scoffed at.
He was at a meeting there, and he said we could no longer afford to be nice...that we were about to have a civil war in this country.

I can not believe Michael Reagan said this. This is beyond scary.

22. Oh I can believe it, we have heard it before you know, Hannity
Rush, OLiely, Coulter and the like being used as the preaching choir to the cabanal of faithful followers while those in elected office attempt to pretend ignorance that such is being said..

No suprise here at all, I have heard the exact phrase used towards many such as Dean....

The only surprise I do feel is that those that constantly speak in such fashions are not in Jail for terroristic threats...

Welcome to "Mad King Georgie's" country, that is unless one recalls that this country rid itself of royalty long ago and aids in chasing the falsely crowned king out of dodge...

5. What a jerk!
Notice to Michael: "Dissent is the highest form of patriotism" - Thomas Jefferson.

Dissent is not treason, Michael; it is an integral part of good government - by the people and for the people. It is part of the "marketplace of ideas," per one of my favorite justices.

31. Because no one is interested in *prosecuting* them.
I don't get it, myself. The legality of the Reagan case is unclear but I can't believe the DA of San Fran doesn't indict ORielly for incitement to violence.

And *all* of these threats are issued on FCC licensed stations. Why bother having a licensing and regulatory system if anyone can say literally *anything*... even advocate mass murder?

20. Overstating something like that just makes him look stupid.
Personally, I think if every American who has been voicing discontent over the stupid Bush war were to be hanged for exercising that first amenement right of free speech, Michael Reagan, a handful of Freepers, and the neocons who started the whole thing would be the only people left in this country. Then they'd have to fight their own damn war.

Somebody needs to explain to Michael Reagan that he has gone beyond the bounds of free speech in calling for violence against another person.

Of course, without their constant shrieking about sending us to hell, hanging us for treason, shooting us in the street, et cetera, what else would those poor, empty people have to talk about?

26. Michael was a Reagan family reject - Still trying to earn love
Reagan gave him his name which has been worth millions to him. BUT anyone could see from the funeral that he has been relegated to a position of a third party rather than a family member. Sad they treated him that way, sad he decided to become a right wing whore taking advantage of the name. Truly sad, as the bucks keep rolling into him and he's never accomplished a thing in his life.

33. The "Blood Reagans" are against this invasion
Ron Jr. & Patti are both against this war and despise this regime. I have a feeling one day we'll hear what Nancy has to say as well. Maureen was a semi-wingnut, but she was also very active in women's rights issues.

The best visual I have of Michael's standing in the Reagan family (and I'm sure in the "legacy") was at Ronnie's funeral...Patti, Ron and Nancy stood together in a large group hug...Michael stood distant and alone.

whether he's adopted or not. Regardless, he's a right wing loony and should be treated as one.

Adoption doesn't make you any less a family member. It only means that you have an additional opportunity to screw up and Michael has done that much very well on his own.

130. They should give him back then - you did know this can be done, right?
If someone adopts a child and it's finalized and everything, THEY CAN GIVE THE KID BACK even after years have gone by FOR ANY REASON!

Shocking but TRUE!

I know I was shocked when I heard this at a potential adoptive parents class I attended here put on by the State of Nevada Division of Child Welfare.

42. Sort of agree.
We have not stopped watching MSM enough.

We have not voted enough on voting machines that change our votes or on voting machines that were not available for that vote to be cast (and changed) in the first place.

We have not spent every waking hour of our lives fax blasting talking points or complaints to our elected officials, uncaring MSM outlets and local newspapers.

I guess we've been too busy trying to pay our rent, mortgage, etc.
Not to mention another false war on Christmas.

Now that I’ve brought that one up, let’s stop everything and remind the media and retailers that Easter is all about the bunny and new clothes.

(Sarcasm crept into my reply somewhere beyond the headline, but it really took a leap on that last one.)

Finally, I agree. We have not revolted.

with silly shit like this because there's no one in the corporate media that will nail them on it. If this was on a left-wing radio program - and directed at Mehlman - it would be all over Fox news; all day long. Olberman might pick this up, Air America surely will, but that's about it.

52. Calm down. This can be explained through psychoanalysis.
Michael has a lot of emotional baggage from his childhood.

First, he was adopted by Ronald Reagan and Jane Wymann. That made him feel less "bona fide" versus his natural born sister, Maureen.

Next, his parents divorced. That's traumatic in any case. He lived with his mother and didn't see enough of his father thereafter.

Next, during at least one of his summer vacations, he went to camp where he was sexually molested and he kept this secret for decades and didn't seek treatment for this trauma.

Next, his father remarried Nancy Davis and started a new family with new children altogether. In the media, these new children were validated while he was "forgotten" and not recognized as a child of the governor of California, and later, the President of the United States. He truly became "invisible" to his father and to a lesser degree, his mother.

Next, he got married and started his own family. He started getting invited to the White House and having his name recognized with his photo getting published occasionally. But same old, same old. When his kids received gifts from Nancy on behalf of his father, they were "re-gifted" presents that he had previously given Nancy for his step-sibs.

Now, his father is dead. Michael wanted to so be like Ronald Reagan that he became an "uber" Ronald Reagan by espousing rightwing conservative values and getting a radio talkshow. That should be something in itself, but it isn't. He's still competing against his father and against his half-sib, Ronald P. Reagan who writes progressively political articles and sometimes gets a cable program (recently canceled).

My point: Michael has a compelling need to keep himself in the spotlight of the media as the true legacy of his father, Ronald Reagan. So, he needs to come up with unforgetable calls to action, like hang Howard Dean for treason. It's so . . . Benedict Arnold and patriotic. And hey, it's rhetoric, Howard Dean will not take offense.

So, my take on it is that this is somewhat pathetic on the part of Michael Reagan, nobody worthwhile is listening, he isn't starting a grassroots movement to get a mob with pitchforks and torches to visit Howard Dean, and he IS competing against Rush, Sean, and his half-sibs, Nancy, and his dead father.

Michael needs to remove himself from future obligations and seek serious assistance to review his life, his motivations, and his future.

77. Maureen was also adopted...
and yes, I too saw how he was an outsider trying desperately to fit in during the funeral. He kept kissing Nancy when Nancy was falling apart by the casket, and Nancy kinda looked at him, like "WTF are you doing?"

I didn't know him then but was almost embarrassed for his trying-too-hard ways.

this is the manipulation the republican right wants -- they can deny and spin after the fact -- but they get to instill fear and chaos in the public if and when it does happen.

69.  A sensible reaction, given the source.
Michael Savage tried to respond, but he was so consumed with rage, he accidentally ate his left arm up to the elbow. Limbaugh, fortunately, heard about this while sitting on the toilet. It has subsequently been replaced. O'Reilly was so shocked to hear this he mistakenly ate a falafel and pleasured his latest assistant with a traditional sexual aide. Hannity became so enraged that he took Colmes balls out of the bag he keeps them in and made Allen eat them, with no fava beans or Chianti.

So, as it appears, the red heads are consumed with anger, fear, resentment, and a violent demeanor. What else is news?

Because it isn't about binReilly as much as it is about hatred and how the public trust is being breached by these people.

In of themselves, these lunatics are pathetic. What they do to our national conversation is not.

Help me with O'Reilly. He's low hanging fruit, we can get him off the air. His ratings are tanking. He had to respond to us on air AND they felt compelled to spend money on a new ad for him.

This is exactly how I felt when my nieces went to bed frightened that something would happen to them in San Francisco.

We can do this. If we get one of these bastards off the air, the others will rethink their programming, I promise you.

83. Time to pull our those trusty Clinton KOSOVO/IRAQ quotes...
"I cannot support this military action in the Persian Gulf at this time. Both the timing and the policy are subject to question."
- former GOP Majority Leader Senator Trent Lott

"President Clinton is once again releasing American military might on a foreign country with an ill-defined objective and no exit strategy. He has yet to tell the Congress how much this operation will cost. And he has not informed our nation's armed forces about how long they will be away from home. These strikes do not make for a sound foreign policy."
-Senator Rick Santorum (R-PA)

"No goal, no objective, not until we have those things and a compelling case is made, then I say, back out of it, because innocent people are going to die for nothing. That's why I'm against it."
-Sean Hannity, Fox News, 4/5/99

"American foreign policy is now one huge big mystery. Simply put, the administration is trying to lead the world with a feel-good foreign policy."
-Representative Tom Delay (R-TX)

"You think Vietnam was bad? Vietnam is nothing next to Kosovo."
-Tony Snow, Fox News 3/24/99

"Explain to the mothers and fathers of American servicemen that may come home in body bags why their son or daughter have to give up their life?"
-Sean Hannity, Fox News, 4/6/99

"Bombing a sovereign nation for ill-defined reasons with vague objectives undermines the American stature in the world. The international respect and trust for America has diminished every time we casually let the bombs fly."
-Representative Tom Delay (R-TX)

The foregoing review of the Clinton Administration's prevarications on Kosovo would not be complete without a brief look at one other possible factor in the deepening morass. Consider the following fictional situation: A president embroiled in a sex scandal that threatens to bring down his administration. He sees the only way out in distracting the nation and the world with a foreign military adventure. So, he orders his spin-doctors and media wizards to get to work. They survey the options, push a few buttons, and decide upon a suitable locale: Albania.
- Sen. Larry Craig, U.S. Senate Republican Policy Committee

Paul Weyrich, a leading conservative activist, said Clinton's decision to bomb on the eve of the impeachment vote "is more of an impeachable offense than anything he is being charged with in Congress."

85. Whenever Bush mad dogs like Reagan go off like this, you can be sure
that, a) it's coming right from the White House spin machine; and b) whatever they're accusing others of, they are doing themselves (the "Big Lie" coverup technique).

Ergo: It's Bush and his Cartel that want to put Howard Dean, all Democrats and all dissenters into a deep, dark hole--like all those mysterious dark prisoners in middle Europe or "rendered" to governments that do torture, and...

Bush himself is guilty of treason, and fears that Patrick Fitzgerald's net is being drawn around HIM.

If filthly seditious freaks like him want to start a civil war, goading us to throwing the first punch will not work.

They will have to throw the first punch.

But we know they're too cowardly, despite their ability to open their mouths.

These fools are not men. I doubt they're males either. They're freaks. Dickless freaks, trying to look macho and adult by getting us angry.

And you know that if we threw the first punch, they'd spin that too.

Don't let these microcephalic apostates anger you. That is what they want most.

They want a war. Make them throw the punch. After all, that's what they've been doing for years now. And given all their efforts, they are the ones who deserve to throw it.

NASHUA, N.H., Aug. 30 - President Bush, in an interview broadcast on Monday, said he did not think America could win the war on terror but that it could make terrorism less acceptable around the world, a departure from his previous optimistic statements that the United States would eventually prevail.

In the interview with Matt Lauer of the NBC News program "Today," conducted on Saturday but shown on the opening day of the Republican National Convention, Mr. Bush was asked if the United States could win the war against terrorism, which he has made the focus of his administration and the central thrust of his re-election campaign.

"I don't think you can win it," Mr. Bush replied. "But I think you can create conditions so that those who use terror as a tool are less acceptable in parts of the world."

114. The word when it comes to execution is HANGED. But then Michael
Reagan is nothing but an opportunistic moron, so I guess I'm being picky.

115. That poor kid should still be in therapy, it's obvious he is lacking
mental awareness.

116. Would be interesting to see what brother Ron says about Michael...
I'm guessing it might have "split" their family a bit more!

There will be no victory in Iraq the way a thinking person would define a "WIN". What is wrong with his head?

126. Bush was behind Chalabi, who turns out to be shil for Iranian intell
according to DIA's Patrick Lang...so really, Bush is guilty of treason and should be the one being 'looked into' IMHO. But realistically speaking, a Republican Congress won't touch treason by one of their own...

Think about that.

128. Mikey is one fucked up dude,
he and his audience should look into group rates on therapy.

And they're all about as American as the products for sale at Walmart.

Their phony patriotism puts me in mind of another "F" word...facism.

132. Rethugs have "prison mentality" -I accept that now
No reasoning possible, only smacking back twice as hard and never never stop. Always be smacking these pigs down or they will get up and hit you in the back every single time.
Evil satanic spawn cowers before Republicans.
Zero civility for them from now on, and long overdue.

133. Media Matters has the Mancow segment up, but not Reagan.
Several of us wrote them, so I hope they will have something.

Here is the segment about Fox.. pretty awful. Video.

135. Michael Reagan is the real traitor
Given Reagan's remarks, One can only conclude that he wishes to see the First Amendment excised from the Constitution, and, once freedom of speech is made illegal, lynch anyone who would dare speak against his particular point of view.

No wait, Reagan and his ilk don't really want to gut the U.S. Constitution. Too long and arduous a process. No, they prefer to violate it outright and summarily execute anyone who would demand accountability for bad decisions made under blatantly false pretenses.

There's word for this: FASCISM.

142. Bush said last year to Matt Lauer that we couldn't win the war on terror.
Have they forgotten. It was big news on the first day of the Republican National Convention.
