Are conservative working class people being prepared by RW pundits for VIOLENCE against liberals?

After hearing so many years of Limbaugh's, O'Reilly's, Beck's and others' rantings, I am
getting the feeling that the listeners/fans of those venomous bigmouths are being, step-by-step,
prepared, GROOMED, to do VIOLENCE against others who they perceive as liberal/"socialist", in coming years?

Could our conservative neighbors eventually become our MURDERERS?

I see strains of this also in some extreme RW Christian groups and their "philosophy" of
a "warrior-Jesus" (see also the film, "Jesus Camp" for a similar outlook,
being peddled to children, no less!).

Perhaps I am being alarmist.(?)

Or perhaps, America won't need a Gestapo---Our fellow-citizens
may take THAT duty unto themselves!?

Could it happen HERE?

And no, I am not kidding. You don't have to be a gun nut to have a strong sense of self preservation.

Kona your in the keep category also.

That's just common sense.

Kona, really if they want to play with guns I guess that's the play they make. And, I'll do what I have to do. And, there's a little note on my DD214 that says I do it pretty well. Now some may say that my car that has it's back window framed in Obama stickers might be baiting, but to me, I'm just exercising my rights.

Thank goodness for AR .223 and the mandatory hunting accessories known as the 35 round magazine and those handy 1K round boxes. And for close work theres the 5 rnd semi 12 ga. And the neatest backup Marlin 17 rnd semi 22LR (love it). I really don't care for handguns.

Now I'm not paranoid, but I don't intend to be they guy they said ended up dead for being unarmed.

We on the same page?

I don't have all your cool gear, but my Bulgarian AK, Makarov 9mm (vintage!) and a few other goodies keep me in shape. I do OK for non-military.

He was on a crusade against liberals. July 27, 2008, Knoxville. Killed two people.

It already happened in that incident. It could indeed happen in greater numbers.

Even if they outnumber me, I WILL protect myself. And I can fortify my position in a pinch.

for some reason,they wrongly assume libs dont have guns..

courtesy of Uncle Sam and military training.

The kind they didn't get sitting in Mom's basement eating Cheetos

But I bet it'll happen nonetheless. You are not being an alarmist. We have been demonized and dehumanized by these hateful people for years now. It's only a matter of time. And those who stirred up such destructive, murderous, insane frenzies will get all eyelash-batty and righteously indignant and insist they had nothing to do with it. On the contrary. They'll have had EVERYTHING to do with it.

JFK, MLK, RFK, Kent State, Jackson State College, several "abortion doctors."

Those are just the "big" ones.

I'm sure they're just coincidence killings. Nevermind. My bad.

You're not going to pull that off without firing a shot or two. Yes, they're preparing them for violence.

And I won't name the states I'd like to let them have, because I know what happens when you do that here at DU. :)

They're perfectly fine with torturing people because their anger and hatred knows no bounds, as long as others do it. It's not too hard to imagine them feeling that hate towards anyone not like them. History is full of such things.

Omigod, what are right-wingers doing to the U.S.?

They're angry, and rightfully so. The working class in this country has been thoroughly fucked over for 30 years now, by Democrats and Republicans alike. The only ones talking to them at all are con-men like Rush Limbaugh.

Of course the rhetoric is going to be aggressive. These people are rightfully pissed off.

Same shit, different day

While the ruling class fill their pockets.
With the righties now it is easy, just keep them focused on hateing that black man in a white house.

It seems to be working pretty damn well too.

myself a social democratic. I always have. But that isn't bad. I believe we should help each other. I believe in social security and medicare, and if that is socialism I am guilty. We aren't the ones who want war with other countries.

Do you think he had less that 20 infrared dots (an or cross-hairs) on his left chest? The gun control is that nobody did an ooops.

although "no nation has ever had a shortage of young men eager to experiment with homicide, provided no very awful penalties were attached." in the words of Kurt Vonnegut.

You bet the rhetoric from the leading right wing personalities has led and will lead to violence and death against liberals.

ANYTHING that INCREASES chaos, fear, and instability will be aggressively promoted by the right wing in this country (some of whom are Democrats).

They will do everything they can to prevent working class liberals and conservatives from coming together.

Bring it on?

I don't think most of them have the stomach for it but I'm well armed and prepared for the ones stupid enough to fuck with me .

called for those people to go to the house and get "in the face" of the Democratic representatives. Now you know darn well she fired people up and they might do more than get in people's face.

By the way she sure is quiet lately. I do know that 15 or 20 people filed a complaint with CREW and the House ethic committee. Maybe she is afraid they will come after her.

will people who think of themselves as liberty loving individualists, be lead like sheep into causing some tragedy?
It's already happened.
let's pray for sanity to win in the end

...they're mainstreaming rhetoric which used to be the stuff of small violent fringe groups.

Dave Neiwert (of Crooks & Liars and Orcinus) calls it "eliminationist" rhetoric. He has covered this for years and written about it at length about this series on Orcinus:
Eliminationism in America
http://dneiwert.blogspot.com/2006/12/eliminationism-in-america-i.html

and in his book published about a year ago:
The Eliminationists: How Hate Talk Radicalized the American Right
http://www.amazon.com/Eliminationists-Hate-Radicalized-American-Right/dp/0981576982/orcinus-20/

Of course, being "prepped" for violence doesn't make it inevitable, but it does raise the chances of something really bad happening (on top of things that have already happened).

From They Thought They Were Free: The Germans, 1933-35

"And you are an alarmist. You are saying that this must lead to this, and you can’t prove it. These are the beginnings, yes; but how do you know for sure when you don’t know the end, and how do you know, or even surmise, the end? On the one hand, your enemies, the law, the regime, the Party, intimidate you. On the other, your colleagues pooh-pooh you as pessimistic or even neurotic. You are left with your close friends, who are, naturally, people who have always thought as you have.

but what do I know!!??

:evilgrin:

I have encountered some angry white assholes who are completely unhinged and ready to lash out at virtually anyone of anything. Although rather than lashing out at lib-uh-ruls their rage seemed reserved for prosperous immigrants.

and there is nothing they will not stoop to.

I do mean nothing.

The broadcasters of hatred sow the seeds, and ordinary people take it from there.

:puke:

I believe there will be a non govermental civil war. They could do stuff that would have Gandhi take up arms.

And just the other day, I happened upon an episode of The Twilight Zone that reminded me of this.

since 1980 and if you have not been paying attention then you will end up a causality.

The GOP and their demented supporters have one goal and that is to establish a christian theocracy to control the sheep with a fascist government really running things.

That is their version of America.
