Again with the Eliminationism

Posted on July 27, 2011 at 7:59 am by Bob Cesca

The Republicans are back with more violent rhetoric. Evidently they used the following clip from The Town during a caucus pep rally:

ThinkProgress reminds us: “In the movie, the characters then put on hockey masks and bludgeon two men with sticks, then shoot one man in the leg.”

And, predictably, Rep. Allen West (R-Woman-Hater) volunteered to “drive the car.”

Good people.

Check your calendars. It’s been how long since a right-wing freakdog went on a killing spree in Norway?

    And when something violent, stupid or equally despicable happens, the rwnj’s will express faux “shock” and claim they had nothing to do with it. (Think Claude Raines in “Casablanca”…) They incite and instigate with violent imagery and rhetoric then try to convince us their hands are clean when some idiot/lunatic follows their lead and acts out (Scott Roeder, Jared Loughner, Richard Poplawski, etc). The fact is that they have tied themselves inextricably to such acts and such people by doing and saying the things they do. No amount of “plausible deniability” can change that. When they use such imagery and words, blood is on their hands.

      … there you go, waving the bloody shirt again!

      Don’t you know? It’s the same on both sides. You libs even celebrate old leftie terrorists like Bill Ayers. And you know, he once planned to try and blow up a building in the 70s.

      I had a dream last night whereby I watched a television commercial in which white nationalists (kkk, nazis, et al) were asking their members to convene in Washington on Monday. Woke me up with quite a start.

      Scary-weird-crazy stuff.

    Every time I see rightwingers use violent rhetoric like this, I mentally swap “liberal” for “conservative” and “democrat” for “republican”. Then I imagine the 24/7 freakout that would ensue on Fox as every talking head and newsmodel works themselves into a lather about how horrible and hateful liberals are.

    The bigger problem, though, is that this House is essentially uncontrollable. Part of it is Boehner’s incompetence. But a bigger part is that about half the GOP caucus is made up of insane teabaggers and the other half is terrified that they will be primaried by insane teabaggers.

    This is bad Karma and will return to haunt Boehner and his tea party clown caucus in the next election. The hypocrisy of the tea party is vividly on display here.

      Well…it was on display back in 2009 through 2010, and yet the mainstream media and some of the PL simply ignored it or even went along with it.

      During the campaign of 2010, the President was warning us not to give these jerks the keys to the car. They had already driven the car into the ditch. But we brushed him off. Some of us pouted and stayed home to “send a message”. And too many ran out to vote for these dinguses because 1) the MSM lied or ignored how dangerous they really were and 2) the PL kept sneering about how ineffective Obama was and that a Repub takeover of Congress would spur progressive change.

      No one should be surprised at what is happening. No one. They said they wanted this President to be a one-term president, they said they wanted to pursue some truly bats**t insane policies, and too many of us brushed them off or said, “Well, Obama sucks!” and went home.

      I don’t know how bad things are going to get, but I really hope that come 2012, these Republican/Tea Party sons-of -bitches recieve an electoral pasting that will keep them out of control for the next forty years.

        Maybe I’m looking through rose-colored glasses but polls are telling me, at least for the moment, that Americans are finally starting to see through GOP lies and hypocrisy. A little too late for my taste–kind of like Bush’s approval numbers tanking in 2005–but at least people are starting to wake up. Hopefully, the GOP continues in this vein (nothing indicates they won’t) and people get good and fed up with them by November 2012 (fingers crossed…)
