Freepers call for revolution; civil war; secession. "Lee Harvey where are you?"
To: Islander7

“You are but stepping stones. In his mind, he’s already buried you”

What you say is spot on. Isn’t it amazing how stupid most Americans are. They have not a clue. In less than a month he has attacked the the first, second, third; hell the friggin constitution in toto. Lee Harvey where are you?

I grew up in TX, but live in CA now. I have been waiting for something like this for a long time.

The Federal Govt must be defeated and restored to the form our founders intended.

I’m sure the Obama police are on their way to my house right now.

The constitution prohibits the military from being used against the people.
That’s why I was wondering who the top generals would obey, the Usurper in chief, or the constitution of the USA?

45. Point me to a post where a DU'er suggests killing conservatives.
Then point me to an article in the news about a liberal going into a conservative gathering and murdering people just because they are conservative.

You can't do either one. Why? Because there are no liberals on radio calling all conservatives evil, dehumanizing them, and pounding into their heads how awful things will be when liberals get control.

Your trying to make more out of what I said then I did.

I'd just like to add this. No one on this board is a saint! Some people here act like if they didn't shit a huge turd they never shit at all.

Also, trying to define someone other than they are just to prove a point really sucks that goes on a lot here!

99. You are comparing conspiracy theorists against people contemplating murdering liberals.
You may think it's 'kooky' to talk about Bush not being willing to give up power, but to say that's 'just as kooky' as someone posting they want to kill innocent people because they are liberals or assassinate the President is beyond absurd.

It's like saying someone who drives 56 in a 55 mph zone is just as bad as a mass-murderer because they are both law-breakers.

67. This board forbids threatening the life of the president or anyone else. Such posts earn a big TS...
Advocating murder is a whole different thing than reading the USA PATRIOT Act and becoming aware that you, too, could be disappeared on the President's say-so, or participating in a protest and becoming aware that not all those folks using telephoto lens cameras are wearing press passes--waving at the black (yes, black) helicopters flying overhead is an act of defiance in a big crowd, but chilling when contemplating the reality of knowing that you too are now in a file someplace.

I know there's been some nutty stuff written here in the depths of the night and the depths of despair, but the DU rules of the board are upfront about threats of violence. It gets the poster banned, they get tombstoned, they get a quick pizza delivery. Buh-bye.

89. I don't get it, really I don't
Some DUers were not paranoid about bush and cheney not being willing to give up power? And for the fourth time I think, I said nothing about assassination or killing or anything violent.

It's as if I accused saints of being sinners!

There was talk of detention camps being built, martial law, the election being called off, private armies, and shadow governments. That was some kooky shit I think.

I remember reading some posts asking how far would people be willing to go to protect democracy from the administration.

You know just because we aren't right wing doesn't make us perfect in any way. I must have really touched a raw nerve.

93. The link from the OP had posts which specifically stated
The link from the OP had posts which specifically stated both "shooting liberals" and "killing Obama." If any valid contrasts or comparisons were to be made between that post from FR and any on DU, one would, by its very definition need to cite posts on DU which have advocated those actions against Bush and the Repulics-- otherwise, the contrast becomes unbalanced, and hence invalid.

I suppose the mistake many DUers on this thread made was to allow you the benefit of the doubt and assume that your comparison was both equal and valid, which it wads not.

"I must have really touched a raw nerve..."
No-- unequal comparisons rarely do that... but if you feel more validated thinking that, by all means, be our guest.

My guess is that some here really feel they are on some inside tract to all that is true and good. That is an illusion. Democratic doesn't mean good or best or anything like that. Democratic is a political party.

95. Unequal comparisons, rather than a justification is a descriptor
"My guess is that some here really feel they are on some inside tract (sic)..."
As I previously stated, if you feel better validated by that opinion, by all means-- have at it.

(Unequal comparisons, rather than being a justification, is a descriptor, in both Debate and in Logic of precisely what you did in your post; but again, if you feel better calling it a justification...) :shrug:

Edited on Fri Feb-20-09 12:49 PM by originalpckelly
but asking where Lee Harvey is an incitement to violence against the President! That's outrageous.

If anyone had posted that on DU, the thread would have been gone and the Secret Service notified, when Bush was in office. I say that because it happened, IIRC.

I could see calls for revolution, because I myself called for that when Bush was in, but they want it simply because the guy is black, not for any legitimate reason. You can't have a legitimate reason 1 month into office. Bush was accused of torturing people when I and other DUers said that stuff.

Seriously, we cannot allow this.

I've already turned in one person who posted a threat in the comments section of my local paper's online edition.

The agent was very helpful and very concerned.

This is likely just some dipwad in posting from mommy's basement, but so was Timmy McVeigh.

You should report this crap to the FBI. Get that website shut down for good.

We had a freeper on our local board making comments like this and they not only banned him but reported him to the FBI as well. Then the moderators posted a message telling all of us that they would shut down the site if anyone else posted threats like this.

19. Desparation...can you smell it? (A repeat of mine...)
It's the stench of 30 year olds who have no real job and live in their mother's basement mingled with the reek of 50+, single/divorced, white males with no kids (or never get to see them 'cause "the bitch is evil") and the unmistakable rank odor of fundies who have no idea what they have gotten themselves into but are not capable of questioning the authority that led them down this path.

All are coping with their inability to accept that they made a mistake and are proceeding to work on what they do best: fear in all it's myriad forms and passive impotent hate.

Seriously, don't take it the wrong way but Divorced, 50+, White Male with no kids are Rush Limbaugh's target demographic. (I think DUer TahitiNut is also in that area...I love that guy.)

Every crazy ditto head I have ever known fits that one like every Ron Paul Reject I have ever know has been a socially stunted but well educated (in a technical field) gamer geek. Being a quite social gamer geek myself I have to laugh at them.

and if that doesn't alleviate any percieved slur you may have felt on your character, I was once 30 and unemployed and living (with my wife) in my parents basement for 6 months...I got better.

59. 50Plus divorced white males....sounds like my ex.
They hate women and children. They have no compassion or understanding of anyone who is not exactly like them. I think he's a closet homosexual because he's very macho.

I was married to this "prize", we both had good jobs, health insurance, and then I got pregnant.

The stupid bastard wanted me to have an abortion because of "MY emotional problems". :wtf:
Like he's a goddamn shrink.

I refused, and we got a divorce. Then he said that I "trapped him into marriage". :wtf:

He ended up suing me for child support and I had to pay HIM child support until the child graduated from high school. He was the one with the steady job since 1981 at the same place, and insurance. I was the one with no steady job and unable to get one.

I had a physical collapse after four years of his constant nagging, and he was "embarrassed" because of all the money I spent "needlessly" in the hospital on his insurance money. He's the one that made me sick in the first place. He said that I bribed the doctor to put me in the hospital, because I wasn't really dying of pneumonia :wtf:

His hate cost him thousands of dollars.

He had to get his revenge on me for doing the unthinkable: Having a bright, adorable, healthy CHILD. The kind thousands of couples would give everything they own for, to have.

Asshole never appreciated anything he had. Threw it all away. I'm glad now I have a man who does appreciate me, instead of setting impossible standards no one could meet. I don't waste my time with this sociopath. They are dangerous when they make up their own bullshit and they believe it.

HE told the baby sitter he had to "destroy" me, either me or our child, but he was going to destroy me because I was a grownup. I never said an unkind word to this man.

:wtf:

Edited on Fri Feb-20-09 04:52 PM by YOY
I was speaking in reference to Rush Limbaugh's target audience: 50+, white, male, divorced or unmarried, no children or never sees them and has no kind words for his ex.

Literally, a strong majority of dittoheads fit in there. They may not make a ton of money but they care only about their money and their money alone. The whole tax thing is what pisses them off most and frankly they couldn't give two shits about the future of anyone but themselves. Even if they have kids they don't really care about them. Usually misogynistic or inable to truly speak to women as equals let alone not as objects. Quite literally, they will leave no legacy behind when they die. Except perhaps morticians' stories of the most empty funeral parlor reception they have ever seen.

So is that your ex to a tee?

Also, I'm glad you found someone who does care about you. Ain't real love grand?

posts, as usual. And, yet...they were posted, as evidenced here.

The thing about Freepers is that they are long on talk and very, very short on action. Even for a simple protest, the turnout among Freepers is almost never more than half a dozen potbellied guys and some older women.

The denizens of Free Republic are all pretty much "Let's you and him fight" sorts. Keyboard warriors, wannabe mall cops, and fat guys eating Cheetos in their mom's basement, checking in to FR in one window of their browser between hot scenes in the porn video they're watching in another window.

However, that does not mean that there are not dangerous types out there. They're just not posting on Free Republic.

53. Oh, I report them, when I see something on the site.
I take a screen capture, to make sure the messages are there even if deleted later, and attach it to the report.

I have no doubt that the Secret Service and the FBI watch that site anyhow.

69. Glad to hear their mods do this
that is some disturbed stuff. Do you know if posters get banned for posting this kind of crap on that site? I ask because it seems a reasonable expectation for any discussion board, even the most partisan.

28. The difference is the calls for violence at FR
Edited on Fri Feb-20-09 01:13 PM by Gman
in the extremely rare occurrences of anyone calling for violence here at DU, the post was pulled and the person calling for violence excoriated.

Still makes me laugh. It really demonstrated the differences and the divide we experienced at the time. I don't recall anyone advocating violence to meet this end though.

33. That's what happens when you allow the public airwaves to be used to pump hate into people.
Have you ever heard a liberal talk about going out and shooting conservatives? One conservative already has and his car was filled with screeds from Limbaugh and Hannity and O'Reilly. Personally, I think anyone making a post like that deserves an FBI visit. How many more wacked-out conservatives will have to massacre innocent people before the government takes action?

to provide these folks with cover and we will see some real blood.

In 1927, Hitler was a bad joke.

After an economic collapse, and some wealthy industrialists who needed protection from "the reds", he was chancellor

I would take comments about shooting liberals very very seriously

58. This type of behavior at FR...
... drives reasonable, thinking, considerate people away from their other causes.

Far, far away.

I do not understand how an individual can claim on one hand to love their country, their form of government, and the constitution that created and guides that government, and on the other hand, express a desire to destroy through violence their country, their government, and their constitution--and then hold as their motivation for such actions their displeasure with the current leader.

Like, what, anger and displeasure justify all and any means? Don't conservatives claim to hold the idea of "the ends justify the means" in contempt?

We held an election, and the people voted. Not happy with the results? Try the genteel persuasion of logic and reason--not arms and violence.

61. They have to convince theirself and others that their form of government
the constitution, etc. no longer exists as they imagine. (Read the threads about state sovereignty). Then they go about convincing other people that are as low information as they are of these perceived threats. Pretty soon, you've got a low information revolution in progress and they don't even know why.

To: Islander7
Obama could never win a civil war as long as the people are armed. What he forgets is that we don’t have to go to war against the federal paramilitary force. We only have to take out their leaders. Kill a few hundred prominent ‘Rats and his dreams of a Marxist United States folds like a house of cards.

Anyone want to borrow my copy of Unintended Consequences?

Kill a few hundred prominent ‘Rats'
I believe only a few dozens head Rats AKA traitors. need to be "neutralized" starting with those who disseminate the socialist propaganda ... MSM heads and leftist academics and this will stop ...

In the meantime we as members of the opposition need to start serving on juries in order to nullify the governments attempts to imprison its political enemies. Look for trumped up drug and weapons charges ... a few guilty may get off but that would be a small price to pay

Reading the postings of freepers can damage your brain. Then again, it's great comedy to read their crazy postings, I even stop over there a couple times a month for a good laugh.

The funniest part is RimJob making $80,000 a quarter to run that piece of crap website. Can you spell sucker born every minute. At the most it cost $10,000 a month, if that, which is $30,000 a quarter, the other $50,000 goes in his pocket.

84. Two things, in 2004 you read SIMILAR, but not quite the SAME calls
on this site.

There were substantive differences, since NOBODY called for actual secession or civil war (though I still expect it, many reasons for that)

This said, these guys are RADICALS... and most importantly, willing to carry through with the threats

To me... if they want to secede... find a nice place of land, put a wall around it, and be done with it.

No, I am not joking either... this is still part of the civil war. Some of these guys are STILL fighting the war between the states.

Been monitoring some RIGHT WING sites, and your main indicator that things could get hot is not actually FR, but the militias... and given we have trained, at your and my expense... OpSec (operational Security) takes over and you will not know until they actually carry out SOMETHING.

when I bring up that line from Boss Tweed in The Gangs of New York.

"You can always pay half the poor to kill the other half."

These idiots are so brainwashed on the "Socialism" bullshit that they will turn their hatred to their neighbor the whole while being pick pocketed by the thieves on Wall Street and in the GOP. These morans are so eaten and blinded by their hatred; that if told to start screaming for even more deregulation, they would do so with vigor of a zealot.

101. Proof that they're NUTS! Gun sites post ominous message.
My husband told me about these sites, and I found it hard to believe, but I looked for myself:


http://www.atlanticfirearms.com/beta/


Please Note : Due to the Current Political Change all
items we carry are in high demand and short supply !
We are sold out most items , verify availability prior to ordering !
Please do not place back orders unless you get approval.
It may take 1 -2 days for us to return emails & phone calls.
It may take 10 - 14 days for in stock orders to ship.

------------

That paragraph was cut/pasted directly from the site. "Due to Current Political Change..."

OMG (We are not gun owners, but sometimes wonder if we should be.)

This is a scary country -- and it's armed to its teeth.

It's funny how similar our 'enemies' really are.
Taliban hate communists, the Freepers hate communists...
Taliban hates freedom for women, so do the Freepers...
Taliban wants violent overthrow of legitimate government, so do the Freepers...
