Right Wing Hate Mongering: Specific Examples?

[southpaw]

Just a few minutes ago on another message board, a left leaning poster challenged a neo-con fundie to include a list of right-wing icons in his blanket condemnation of 'hate mongers' The neo-con replied:

"Ann Coulter, Michael Savage, Rush Limbaugh, Michelle Malkin, Glenn Beck, Rick Santorum, Bill Frist, Karl Rove, Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson, Benny Hinn, Kenneth Copeland" Give me an examples of how these folks hate monger. (I doubt you can come up with even one example, but even if you do, it is probably an isolated example that you folks bring up all the time.)


I would like to help the lefty poster to overwhelm the fundie with specific examples, and I beseech your help. Give me links or just point me in the right direction. I will be googling myself, but any input from DU would be appreciated.

Note, the neo-con fundie is the worst type of condescending ass-hat. I really want to help bury him with examples.

1. Coulter:

"..Liberals need to learn they can be killed too".

[Salviati]

8. more coulter:

from http://archive.democrats.com/preview.cfm?term=Ann%20Coulter

"On August 14, 2003, in her weekly column on the extreme right wing mouthpiece, FrontPageMag.com, about former Vice President Al Gore and current Governor Gray Davis, Ann Coulter wrote: 'Both were veterans, after a fashion, of Vietnam, which would make a Gore-Davis Presidential ticket the only compelling argument yet in favor of friendly fire.'"


"This is a direct quote from Ann Coulter from the New York Observer. "My only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times Building." "

16. More Coulter: Muslims: 3,000 (and counting); White Guys: 1

about the murder of a Sikh.

2. As far as the ones I recall:

Ann Coulter-advocated the killing of liberals to set an example to others
Michael Savage-fired from one job for an anti-gay slur

Rush Limbaugh-questionable but very suspect

Michelle Malkin-advocated internment camps for arab americans

Jerry Falwell-said that gays were responsible for 911

I'm sure there are quotes and incident for the others. I can't think of them right now.

3. Let's see

"We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity" - Ann Coulter (sounds like hate mongering to me)

[SalmonChantedEvening]

4. www.mediamatters.org

It has literally dozens, if not hundreds of examples of lies, deceit hate and fearmongery on most of the people on that list.

The Shrubbite poster who challenged him probably doesn't think things like the Falwell-Roberson 9/14 "The Gays, the ACLU, PFAW, etc. made this happen" screed are hateful, so be ready for the standard liberal bias reply when your friend posts.

5. is he on crack?

the neocon, i mean? he's smoking right?

[southpaw]

10. He's high on Jeezus!!!

Roughly analogous to crack addiction, I suppose.

6. Coulter wished McVeigh had bombed the NY Times Bldg. instead of OKC.

During an August 2002 interview, Coulter told Gurley: "My only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times Building."

7. Easy...

Rove: Google for the exact quote, but where he said liberals responded to 9/11 with (wimpy) calls for indictments and therapy for the attackers

Falwell and Robertson: when they blamed "us" for 9/11 for tolerating homosexuality and such...

Do some googling; some of these guys have entire sites devoted to providing the kind of quotes you're looking for so people have ammunition when these guys pull this "Name one example" crap.

[southpaw]

9. I'm googling away!

Finding lots of juicy quotes... flooding the board. And I'm still on Coulter.

Thanks for the help. Keep the references coming!


DU is the best online source for rebuttals to hacks like this.

11. "Liberalism is a Mental Disorder" - Michael Savage

That's the freakin' title of his new book, for Gawd's sake!

12. Lots of examples can be found here:

Search his website for topics concerning "eliminationism" and "elimination" using the search function at the top of the page.

13. Limbog: We don't need more soldiers in Iraq, we need more bombs & bombers"

This was on his radio show last week. Libog went on to name the stealth fighter and another tactical bomber aircraft that we should use more in Iraq, instead of more troops on the ground. This is hate mongering, because of the indescriminate manner in which bombs kill.

[Sparkman]

15. BillO'Liely:"Mrs. Clinton hasn't visited one family that has been affected

by the terror. Not one. She did not go to one funeral."
O'Liely said this to criticize Hillary for attending the 911 memorial concert at Madison Sq. Garden honoring the police & firefighters, where she was booed. In fact, Hillary met with victims' family members on eleven occasions between Sept. 11 and when O'Liely made this claim on Nov. 15, 2001, per pg.196 of Al Franken's book, "Lies and the Lying Liars.."

Limbaugh: Eagles QB Donovan McNabb isn't very good.
The liberal media is soft on him because he is black.

20. In Their Own Words - by citizenvoice (peruse quotes for a few examples)

In Their Own Words

This is a compendium of quotations from George Bush, his major advisors and architects of permanent war, his political advisors, and many others. Use it in any way that works, but I would appreciate dissemination if you like it. It can serve to remind what is behind the carefully constructed facade of this administration, and to motivate these last two weeks before the election. Several of these quotations are just plain jaw-dropping. Maybe one or another quotation will help in some conversation, canvassing, or letter to the editor. I will send you a more uniformly formatted version to email to others if you contact me: [e-mail]

IN THEIR OWN WORDS

FOREWORD:

“But, to get back to Hillary. If she had said, ‘We're up against an elaborate and sophisticated conservative network,’ I'm not sure that that would have been all that controversial or debatable a statement. It's pretty clear that something exists. The issue is: how sinister do you want to make it look? And that depends on your overall attitude.”

Allen Ehrenhalt, speaking about the history of the right wing rise, 11/03/03

I have been doing a lot of research as a part of informing myself about the issues in this presidential campaign. On the way, I found myself with a growing collection of quotations from key players and thinkers in the Bush administration and about the Republican agenda/strategy for the country.

It was a short step to this compilation. My working title was ‘Behind the Mask’. I had previously made a compilation of quotations about democracy which was inspirational, words which call readers to their better natures. These quotations are largely those utterances the administration would wish the American public not to know; they are outside the script, and you get to decide for yourself which natures they appeal to.

The conservative forces which hold power today in the Bush administration are complex, and it is not my purpose here to fully explain them, or cover the gamut. But a few explanations are in order to follow the quotations. One very important group is the neoconservative idealists, who are true believers that ongoing war establishing America’s absolute power in the world is the way to what they call peace. They were not ascendant in the Bush administration until after 9/11; we all watched the power struggle. They clearly won, and their “National Security Strategy of the United States of America" established the doctrine of preemptive war. Although their strategy in Iraq looks like a dismal failure,they still seem to have clout around what happens next in the global mission. I include a lot of their own words here both because of their importance and because they have many overt statements of their
real beliefs to choose from.

The Christian right is a different force, although with some overlaps with the above.

Then there are the Republican strategists, think tank fellows, campaign operatives, all of whom are represented.

Some of the quotations have already made it into that ‘stand alone’ status as classics. For the rest I try to provide some context, or include enough of the quoted material to be clear.
