I triple dog dare anyone to find postings on DU that advocate the death of any Republican politician

1. nope, the few stupid that have tried it get deleted or more. nt

[Kaleva]

2. Posts like that get deleted and the offender sometimes gets banned.

3. These righties

Are full blown propagandists. There doesn't need to be any death threats here, because NO ONE is going to come looking for them.

They just need to muddy the waters, confuse the issue. Toss red meat back into their pig pen so their sycophants don't think about their attack MO. And if some moderate thinking people begin to look closer at the hate-mongers on the right, just let them know 'well they do it too'...all one in the same, nothing to see here, move along.

Meanwhile, we can count the COUNTLESS comments from PROMINENT Conservative leaders (not idle message board comments, which many of those you can't really guarantee anyway) that promote the death of people simply because of a political perspective.

And even though YOU CAN NOT find the same of Democratic leaders, that does not mean the Goebbels society won't push the meme fast and furious.

The modern day Conservative movement is purely fascist...they talk about Liberals like we should be tossed into concentration camps (or worse). They want to 'clean society' like the Nazis did...remove the dark people, the non Christians, the artist, the comedians, the gypsies, the homosexuals, the progressives, the socialists...THE EXACT thing done in Germany in the 1930s.

That's the only incendiary rhetoric I can muster, to call these pricks the Fascist monsters they are....and I'll continue to say it until I get evidence to the contrary.

4. Yep

14. Please elaborate.

5. If such a post could be found, posting links would calling out. (nt)

6. I frequently suggest guillotining. But ALWAYS in the context of

a fair trial and conviction.

:evilgrin:

19. I think when the bank debacle began I advocated

ye olde tar and feather treatment.

8. That thread

was a bit crass, but it's not the same as advocating her assassination. The posters took her words and made some off-color comments in response.

If that's the worst that is out here, then we're doing OK...considering there is a HELL of a lot to NOT like about Palin.

[FLAprogressive]

10. That post should have been reported and locked.

[uppityperson]

12. I did alert on some of the replies which were deleted.

9. Hate to break it to you...

but I have seen such posts here during Dubya's reign.

Many nasty posts regarding him and Cheney, a few so bad that I remember the admins had to comment on the inadvisability of posting such comments.

I won't even bring up all the grave-dancing that goes on when a noted Republican bites the big one.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

15. By all means, post links. We're curious.

[AmandaRuth]

11. I dare anyone to find an official dem county party

putting up billboards calling for revolution

I dare anyone to find a dem official (candidate or elected) making a statement at an official function calling for revolution and assassination

I dare anyone to find a mainstream liberal site publishing an essay calling for the overthrow of the USA (worldnet and townhall)

The denial is thick.

[tom_paine]

20. There are few things more powerful in the human mind and history than denial

Sex drive...maybe. Greed...maybe. Denial is at most third.

Mayb it's just living in a nation transforming itself into something horrible, barabric, unjust, and RW totalitarian that has colored my vision about all nations and people's everywhere.

Living in Weimar in the 30s must have been anguish on the psyche, PLUS they had to fear all that violence, which mostly, for the moment, we still do not have to fear. (ironic to say that on such a day as today but still true).

Denial so very powerful among we humans. Living in a nation collapsing to the Dark Ages or perhaps even something worse exacerbates the already large problem. On the Titantic, EVERYONE by necessity, is in denial.

13. I think I said "Jump, you fuckers" during the financial meltdown 2008

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

17. Which is very different from "Won't somebody please throw these fuckers out the window?"

[slackmaster]

16. Unrec for basic lameness. The forum rules explicitly prohibit that kind of post.

If someone did post such a message, it would get deleted quickly by our wonderful, long-suffering moderators.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

18. No. It's a valid post. It points out the fundamental difference between the left and the right.

[slackmaster]

21. It's a challenge for people to produce evidence of something that by definition can't exist

Because of the forum's strict rules against that kind of thing.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

22. Precisely.

[JoePhilly]

23. Which destroys the logic that one will see many violent posts ...

on DU, either in the past, or in the present.

If such posts are removed quickly by the admins, no one individual should be able to claim that they have in fact "seen many" of them.

Now, go over to say, FreeRepublic and see if you can make the same claim. How hard is it to find violent right wing quotes there?

Or better, go to political articles on USATODAY and check the running discussions that go on there. On a regular basis, you will see right wing folks calling for the elimination of liberals. Liberals called "baby killers", liberals "hate America", direct or indirect calls for armed right wing revolution.

24. By Jove, you've got it. Kudos. nt
