On the Alex Bennett show a freeper called in
and threatened war against Obama, Bennett, and all liberals if they can't prevent Obama from getting into the white house because of his unamerican behavior. He said liberalism is pushing socialism and it must be stopped by any means necessary. Wow these wingnuts are psychopaths.

7. I believe he will. Bennett was pissed.
Alex Bennett has been supporting Obama since the Dnc convention.

24. About fucking time.
I know it has nothing to do with the OP but Bennett was really pissing me off. I've completely boycotted his show since April. Glad to see he's coming around. I might start tuning in now.

20. Agreed. They seem to forget that there are many Dems that value the 2nd Ammendment

I'm one of them (although I will say that we have to enforce the laws we have and make sweeping changes to the background check system). I hunt, I fish, I enjoy shooting my firearms.
I'm excellently trained in tactics and strategies in self defense, every bit as good as the most rabid gun and defense dungeon Freeper. I also know and respect the law - much more than they do.

The world isn't as much "US vs. THEM" as they claim it is in their narrow little world view. There's common ground to be found everywhere - but they just can't let go of the hate, fear, and lies long enough to realize it. They think that all liberals are "hippies" and "peaceniks" (not that there's anything wrong with that if you are) but that's not the complete reality.

3. The GOP and John McCain have got to start putting these fires out instead of inflaming them. n/t

4. That's a direct threat against a presidential candidate
The Secret Service better be more on top of this than they have been on the whackos at the Palin rallies.

11. I am sure this will be turned in. The guy sounded very unstable, unhinged, and loony.

21. Well, this would be a SIRIUS radio, actually.
Alex Bennett is exclusive to the SIRIUS "Left" channel. So this right wing freak actually pays to listen to someone whom he then calls up and threatens. Probably just hit the wrong button on his radio, looking for the horribly named SIRIUS "Patriot" right wing channel right next door.

8. Not to sound like chicken little, but remember, Rawanda was started on AM radio.
Bennett might want to take this seriously.

17. Not to mention what happenned to Alan Berg
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Berg

Another early liberal talk radio host, like Bennett himself. Murdered by Neo-Nazi shitheads, the same type that are showing up to cheer for Moosealini.

Mike Malloy takes these people seriously. He's been packing heat ever since Berg was killed, and has had death threats made against him and his family a few times :(

28. I used to downplay the impact of "hate" radio
until I saw "Hotel Rawanda" and realized the role it played in the violence.

19. I refuse to be intimidated or afraid
because that's exactly what they want and exactly what makes bullies tick. They've used that against us for the last 30 years since raygun, slowly at first, then with ever-increasing boldness. We tried ignoring it, then excusing it, then going around it, now they're just plain out-of-hand with it.

My patience has run thin, forgiveness taken for granted, and I'm all out of cheeks. If they want to engage in domestic terrorism, then I won't lose a single night's sleep over them getting snared by the Patriot Act they thought was such a good idea and them rotting in the Gitmo they clamored to keep.

They're going to try it, and when they do, they'll be rounded up and shipped out -- and they won't be missed for a split second. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

25. This is widespread among the freepers. I heard Michael WienerSavage
the other day saying that if Obama wins, there will be rioting in the streets by the Repukes (basically giving them permission to do so), and just spend 5 minutes over in Freeperland and you'll see many of them talking about taking up arms.

McCain has given these crazies permission to actually voice this on the airwaves. Some of the scariest stuff I've heard in my life.

27. i would think there'd be rioting if mccain won. rioting by the palin wing of their party.
they'll see a mccain victory as a vindication of their value system, as well as the repudiation of a threat to their lives.

if mccain wins, expect to see obama signs vandalized, cars with stickers vandalized, etc. expect the same if obama wins, too. their hate will bubble up and explode. i truly hope they don't, but if obama wins the freepers will do something violent.
