Extremists advocate murder of immigrants, politicians
National pro-immigrant marches inspire calls for carnage from radical right

by Susy Buchanan and David Holthouse

<snip>

"All of you who think there's a peaceful solution to these invaders are wrong. We're going to have to start killing these people," neo-Nazi radio host Hal Turner posted to his website the day after 500,000 immigrant rights activists marched through downtown Los Angeles.

"I advocate using extreme violence against illegal aliens. Clean your guns. Have plenty of ammunition. Find out where the largest gathering of illegal aliens will be near you. Go to the area well in advance, scope out several places to position yourself and then do what has to be done."

<snip>

Extremists of many stripes interpreted the widely broadcast images of hundreds of thousands of mostly Latino demonstrators marching in the streets as unmistakable evidence that a long-awaited race war had finally begun.

"The bad news is many whites will die," wrote one neo-Nazi on Vanguard News Network. "It is imperative that you make proper connections NOW and form networks of like minded armed whites to defend yourselves... It will be grand. More exciting then the Zombie flicks. If you have a good defense line and lots of ammo the carnage will be orgasmic."

And can someone explain to me why this guy hasn't been arrested for inciting violence?

2. And I also wonder why this isn't headlining the media.
Can you imagine if a left-wing radio host made these kind of death threats? Whoa-hoa and watch out! The reich wingers would come out in full force... and rightly so. It is wrong and dangerous and, unless I am way off base here, illegal to put a suggestion of violence into the public airwaves.

3. I wrote to the FCC after Bill O"Liar urged the destruction
of San Francisco. I was told they don't interfere in programming, to take it up with his station!

4. NO WAY!!!!
The FCC doesn't interfere in programming? Isn't that what they're suppose to do? Or is that only when a lefty says something that makes the reich cry to their mommies?!?! :mad:

5. So Howard Stern gets fined for having strippers on his show...
But a hate-radio asshole, the human equivalent of dog shit, makes death threats against people beause they're "illegals" (or whatever term reich-wingers use these days) and nothing happens. God, some times I just get scared for our future... :scared:

7. You are right. It really was only a matter of time before they encourage
killing and nothing happens to them.

Isn't this a sad moment for democracy... one of many sad moments.

8. and how would the U.S. react
if Iran was funding these whackos? What would the difference be between that and the U.S. funding extremists groups in Iran?

9. Let's not make the mistake of minimizing this problem
as a purely *NeoNazi* one. There are many, many 'regular' Conservatives who secretly desire and support such evil.

10. Oh, I have no doubt that there are people not traditionally considered
neo-nazis who are, at the very least, sympathetic to this guy;s call to violence. I have no empirical proof, but at the same time, just the number of confederate flags i've seen flown by "conservatives" here in Southern California leads me to this general conclusion.

12. "homosexual leanings"
So, our little pal here had "homosexual leanings", huh? Seems like he has a severe case of self-hatred and is masking his feelings of low self-esteem through provocation of violence. Great guy. Typical insannity listener.

Maye his "homosexual leanings" were towards insannity himself? Now that would be interesting.
