"After we impeach Clarence Thomas, what do we do with him? String him up! And his wife too. String them up...Thomas, his wife, Scalia, Roberts..."

"After we impeach Thomas, what do we do with him? Hang him."

"What do we do with Clarence Thomas? Put him back in the fields!"

"What do we do with Roger Ailes? He should be strung up...kill the bastard!"

"What do we do [to Clarence Thomas]? Cut off his toes one by one and feed them to him."

"Glenn Beck? I'm waiting for my duel. I pack glock."

"What do we do with Clarence Thomas after we impeach him? Bad things...I'm all about peace, but...torture."

I guess Glenn Beck is right...these people are violent nutcases.

Almost anyone who has time to protest is crazy.

Oh, I'm sure you think its another conspiracy. Ha!

[epicSocialism4tw]

Not so fake there, chico:

"Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, and other lawmakers sending the letter to Holder said Common Cause was opening the door for violent rhetoric and any threats against a sitting judge "must be taken seriously" and investigated.

Asked whether one woman in the videos who said she wanted to hang Thomas really posed a threat, Gohmert told Fox News he couldn't dismiss it.

"Did you think the guy who shot Gabby posed a threat to her?" Gohmert asked, referring to the gunman who killed six and injured 13, including Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., during an outdoor town hall meeting in Tucson in January."

Wait until Obama easily wins re-election in 2012. You think he's stark raving mad lunatic drama queen now...

[BroncoLifer]

Wait until Obama easily wins re-election in 2012....

That's comedy gold right there.

[Rigs11]

That's comedy gold right there.

whos gonna beat him? "Bible thumping" Huck? "Dimwit momma bear" Palin? "Healthcare for my state but not for the country" Romney?

[TonyR]

That's comedy gold right there.

Apparently you haven't been paying attention to the polls. The GOP field is a mess. Here's just one example:

Virginia seems like a state Republicans almost have to win next year if they want to take back the White House but if the voting was today Barack Obama would take it again by a margin comparable to or greater than what he won in 2008.

Obama leads Mitt Romney by 6 points in the state at 48-42. That's identical to the size of his victory over John McCain in 2008. After that his leads increase to 8 points over Mike Huckabee at 51-43, 12 over Newt Gingrich at 51-39, and a whooping 19 over Sarah Palin at 54-35.

Part of the reason Obama's doing well in Virginia is that he has respectable, if not great, approval numbers there. 48% like the job he's doing to 45% who disapprove. There are two keys to his solid standing. The first is that 87% of Democrats stand with him- that's an indication he's generally holding onto white voters within his party, even ones who might lean a little bit more to the conservative side of the ideological spectrum.

The other key to his standing is that he's coming close to breaking even with independents- 48% disapprove of him to 42% who approve. It may seem counter intuitive that negative numbers with those voters are a good sign for Obama, but after two straight election years where independents in Virginia leaned toward the GOP by a margin of about 30 points a Democratic politician getting just slightly negative reviews from them is progress.

Still laughing?

Was that Van Jones?

Maybe Beck is right after all? These people are all a bunch of violent racists.

Yes, that was Van Jones. Crazy.

I wonder how many people Brietbart's little toady had to film before he found the slightly demented ones who would respond to his blatant coaching?

What you are seeing here are individual threads unwinding from the fabric of society. This has nothing to do with political persuasion.

Humpty Dumpty is falling down....

[T]he partisan mind sees what it wants to see. Somehow it’s always easier to insist that the other side’s crazy posters and Hitler analogies and intimations of violence (or even banalities about “saving the Constitution” and “taking back” the country) are evidence of crazy insurrectionist eliminationist madness that threatens to drown the republic in blood, whereas your own side’s excesses are just, well, excesses — the work of a few bad apples, no big deal, nothing to get excited about, and probably blown out of proportion anyway. Somehow there’s always a reason why your side’s counter-majoritarian maneuvering is the very essence of democracy, whereas when the other side does it it’s a sign that American government is hopelessly broken.

There have been rhetorical and visual excesses in Madison from the hard left. But the difference is: they are essentially backing the status quo, whereas the Tea Party wants a radical change. Democratic leaders seem constantly trying to distance themselves from their more, er, enthusiastic supporters. Republican leaders often embrace the rhetoric and imagery of their fringe. I think that makes a difference. No one, for example, with the extremist rhetoric and worldview of Sarah Palin would make it to the veep slot in the Democratic party. Imagine: Obama-Sharpton 2012! Or Obama-Sanders! And if they did, they would lose votes, whereas Palin almost certainly increased the performance of the GOP ticket last time around.

I havent heard any democratic leader denounce the violent tenor of the Wisconsin protests. Dem leaders have called for "blood" and "solidarity". They arent publicly reprimanding these moonbat union loons at all...they're playing the thing up.

As for the Tea Party, they are simply reacting to adjust to the new reality in this country. They're trying to fix the bottom of the boat before the thing crashes. Meanwhile, irresponsible Dems keep loading up the boat...intentionallly ignoring the massive hole in the hull.

Can you imagine what the lefties on this board would be saying if the Tea Party had taken over the state capitol for 3 weeks? Or if the republicans had been the ones who abandoned their posts? The vitriol would have been defeaning.

[Bronco Yoda]

LMAO.

Drama... you're killing me with that Avy. You're going to give the Demo's here a stroke before you're done.

Bring back honor. Bring back truth.

It should be clear by now that for 12 years, from 1981-1993, the United States was governed by political leaders who merged the power of the state with criminality to a degree possibly unmatched in modern American history. That disturbing reality was underscored again this past month by an exhaustively researched series by Gary Webb in The San Jose Mercury-News.

Webb's three-part series, with supporting documentation, traced the "crack" epidemic that devastated Los Angeles and other U.S. cities to massive shipments of cocaine smuggled by elements of the CIA-organized Nicaraguan contra army in the early-to-mid 1980s. Danilo Blandon Reyes, a former contra leader and drug dealer, testified during a recent cocaine trafficking trial in San Diego that the smuggling was given a green light by the late Enrique Bermudez, who commanded the FDN, the largest contra force and the one most closely associated with the CIA.

"There is a saying that the ends justify the means," Blandon said. "And that's what Mr. Bermudez told us in Honduras, OK. So we started raising money for the contra revolution." Though Blandon was offered as a U.S. government witness, the Justice Department first obtained a gag order that blocked defense attorneys from inquiring about the CIA's role in dealing dope to the Crips and Bloods and other inner-city gangs.

But a wealth of other evidence, collected by federal drug agents and congressional investigators during the 1980s, corroborated that the Reagan-Bush administrations knew about the drug trafficking and mounted a determined cover-up to protect the contras from exposure. Senior administration officials apparently shared Enrique Bermudez's situational ethics. After all, President Reagan had hailed the contras as the "moral equivalent of the Founding Fathers." They could not be unmasked as drug dealers. http://www.consortiumnews.com/archive/lost7.html


Atlacatl Battalion: A rapid-response unit created, under U.S. pressure, for counter-insurgency warfare. In a contemporary account, Americas Watch said that "Created, trained and equipped by the United States, the Atlacatl...is an elite grouping within the Armed Forces" [AW AYOR page 127] The Atlacatl was the showpiece unit of the U.S.-inspired reorganization of the Salvadoran military during the early 1980s. Commanded by the dashing Col. Domingo Monterrosa, Atlacatl was the headline grabbing unit of the army.

Atlacatl carried out some of the most notorious massacres of the civil war, including the worst massacre in modern Latin American history at El Mozote. Atlacatl also carried out the November 1989 massacre of six Jesuits at the University of Central America. According to a 1991 Americas Watch report, the Altacatl Battalion "remains perhaps the most appalling violator of human rights in El Salvador." [AW DOT page 20] http://newsmine.org/content.php?ol=coldwar-imperialism/salvador/el-mozote-massacre.txt


The Iran-Contra affair was a constitutional crisis that embroiled the Reagan administration in its last two years (1986-88), raised the prospect of Ronald Reagan’s impeachment, clouded the presidency or George H.W. Bush and contributed to keeping it from extending to a second term.
The scandal entailed illegal funding and arming of Nicaragua’s right-wing contras fighting the leftist Sandinista regime as well as illegally trading arms with Iran in exchange for the release of seven American hostages held by Iranian-sponsored militants in Lebanon. Profits from arms sales to Iran were to be used to buy weapons for the contras.
------------------
“When these operations ended,” Independent Prosecutor Lawrence Walsh concluded in his report in August 1993, “the exposure of the Iran/contra affair generated a new round of illegality. Beginning with the testimony of Elliott Abrams and others in October 1986 and continuing through the public testimony of Caspar W. Weinberger on the last day of the congressional hearings in the summer of 1987, senior Reagan Administration officials engaged in a concerted effort to deceive Congress and the public about their knowledge of and support for the operations. Independent Counsel has concluded that the President's most senior advisers and the Cabinet members on the National Security Council participated in the strategy to make National Security staff members McFarlane, Poindexter and North the scapegoats whose sacrifice would protect the Reagan Administration in its final two years. In an important sense, this strategy succeeded. Independent Counsel discovered much of the best evidence of the cover-up in the final year of active investigation, too late for most prosecutions.”

The state capital in Wisconsin has always been open to the people. So what's the big deal?

At any rate, it had been open until Walker had the doors locked.

Ha!

The only thing that they are showing is that Glenn Beck is right about them. That the left is manhandled by unions and far-left radical nutbags.

If the tea party had done the same it certainly would have been covered completely different in the media and certainly the lefties here would have had a field day.

As it is the righties support their right to protest but wish they would pick up their trash everyday when they leave.

Yeah...they leave behind their turds (literally...like a herd of pigs) and their hollow point bullets as well as their filthiness.

If the Tea Party had shut down the govt. with an all-out assault like this, I have no doubt that the Obama administration would have been far less patient.

I wouldnt have been surprised, given the situation where the Tea Party did something similar, that the left's talking points would have been about calling in the national guard to forcibly remove them.

Revolution being compared to some liberals not living a state capitol a pretty big reach.
