"If ballots don뭪 work, bullets will"..Radio host in S. Florida. "Make them afraid...."

to come out of their houses"

Those words were spoken by South Florida people, one a congressman supported by the tea party, the other a radio host.

I was thinking today that it is not just Arizona that is having to deal with hate-filled rhetoric...Florida is well on its way to being host to just such an incident.

Just think...our new governor was responsible for the hostile atmosphere and threatening talk at the Democratic town hall clinics during the health care debate. He paid for those groups to organize and go to the town halls with the purpose of disrupting.

Yes, I have posted it before..I will keep doing so.

Rick Scott: Multimillionaire, Mastermind of Town Hall Riots

If you뭨e wondering who is primarily responsible for organizing the barbaric efforts to sabotage the Democratic town halls across the nation, wonder no longer. The man뭩 name is Rick Scott, and he is in charge of the Web site Conservatives For Patients Rights. He is a multimillionaire ex-hospital CEO whose company was charged with the largest case of financial fraud committed against the government in United States history.

He is not the only one who encouraged angry rhetoric and hateful spin. A newly elected congressman for the Palm Beach area is master of such language. He is going to bring "liberals" to their knees.

New FL congressman to bring "vile, vicious, despicable" leftwing to its knees.

The man who would have been right wing shock jock Joyce Kaufman뭩 boss in Washington, newly minted Congressman-elect Allen West, issued a sober statement in response to her withdrawing as his chief of staff Thursday � and then he went on the radio �

Letting his bandanna down, as it were, the biker mag columnist, ex-military mock executioner and musket musterer chosen to lead a District that includes toney Palm Beach, ripped the people he thinks brought Joyce down. From Naked Politics:

The incoming congressman just called into Joyce Kaufman뭩 radio show and told her while she뭩 taking on the left in South Florida, he묲I 밼ight them on the battle field in Washington DC.

밒뭢 even more commited, even more focused on making sure that this liberal, progressive, socialist agenda, this leftwing vile, vicious, despicable machine that is out there is soundly brought to its knees,� he said.

Allen West also recently said to make someone afraid to come out of his house.

West also has close ties to the Outlaws motorcycle gang, which an NBC News report found had criminal ties and a website that features a page honoring members who are in prison, extolling "members convicted of violent crimes, including murder." In a letter, West wrote: "Please, no more references to 멵riminal' because I can tell you, they have the utmost respect for me and that which I seek to achieve. I was never more amazed at how members of the Outlaws guarded me during a one hour cell phone radio interview."

West has addressed events sponsored by Outlaws-linked organizations, used Outlaws members to harass his rival's campaign workers, and writes a column for the group's magazine. The magazine, "Wheels on the Road," has published anti-Semitic, racist and sexist material, and once called women "oral relief stations."

West encouraged his supporters to use violence in suppressing the votes of opponents, saying, "You've got to make the fellow scared to come out of his house."

That Joyce Kaufman mentioned by West? She had made some threatening statements quite often, including the one in the subject line.

About an hour into Thursday's program, West called the show and promised to take on her liberal critics.

``I'm even more committed, even more focused on making sure that this liberal, progressive, socialist agenda, this leftwing vile, vicious, despicable machine that is out there is soundly brought to its knees,'' West said.

Kaufman blames the liberal media for trying to bring down conservative politicians. Liberal MSNBC host Rachel Maddow this week featured video of Kaufman supposedly inciting violence, and other websites have accused her of suggesting hanging illegal immigrants.

According to The Reid Report, a blog authored by political columnist Joy-Ann Reid, whose work has appeared in The Miami Herald, Kaufman, who often talks on the air about her weapons collection, was recorded at a July 4 political rally telling attendees ``if ballots don't work, bullets will,'' to remove politicians with contrary views to their own from office.

Kaufman also had an explanation ready about her words about exterminating the left.

In her radio program Thursday, Kaufman pushed back against depictions of herself as a person who would incite people to take up arms. After saying she wants to ``exterminate'' the left, she laughed and said, ``I mean in a humane way, trap them and release them in their homes."

Well, then, Joyce Kaufman..talk like that is okay as along as you don't want to be inhumane.
