Bill Moyer specifically said before the election that if Kerry won, he expected a right wing coup. I'm sure you can find the quote.

If anyhting comes of this childish ranting I will publicly eat my shorts. They are not going to Canada like they said they would, they are not going to do anything else other than talk trash. They are demonstrating their impotence by using words instead of deeds and nothing is going to change because they are talking out of fear, as they always do. WE are made of much tougher stuff, and THEY KNOW IT! So don't worry, the Grownups can handle the children.

Good reading.

A Democrats Guide to Overthrowing the Government

The audio link Ace referenced was initially busted. I fixed it. Pretty chilling if you want to listen to it.

I actually bought a car from two hippies this week who were leaving the US for Canada. They wanted to know before we bought their beloved Volvo whether I was part of "The Red Bloc". I shit you not.

On a blog that is run by a trained professional licensed psychiatrist with years of experience (i.e. Dr. Pat Santy of "Dr. Sanity") I asked whether this is all just talk or if there is something to actually fear, if these threats might actually be put into action by some.

The psychiatrist responded and said, "I do think there are some who want violence and chaos--that's why they are attracted to the Left ideology to begin with. They have always been there, but have been getting increasingly frustrated as they are kept from getting any real power in society. I think they will eventually overtly align themselves with those who want to destroy this country (like Al Qaeda) but they have unconsciously wanted that all along. They just didn't realize it."

I trust a trained medical professional's opinion concerning the very real nature of the threats over the opinion of others less qualified to offer an opinion.

Personally, I've been having a grand old time dipping into Air Idiot this past week. Franken is desperately grasping for straws, and Rhodes is totally unhinged.

Gee! I seem to recall that not too long ago, the liberals were saying that the solution to all our problems was polite discourse and compromise... that only really STUPID people would use violence to settle disagreements, especially over such a trivial thing as political idiology.

How quickly they change their tune when things don't go the way they want. They learned from the time they were infants that a little tantrum would get them most anything they wanted. Unfortunately, as adults, the tools they'd like to use for "acting out" seem to be a bit more dangerous than a few tears and annoying screams.

DRK

Now that it's their ideological allies calling for violence-- gee, it's just not all that important, is it?

Ummm, no. It wasn't all that important when their ideological allies used violence in the '60s. You know... "by any means necessary" and all that. Why would it be important now?

End justifies the means, don't you know.

This is the 4th time The VIRGINS are talking on this subject. Liberals are by definition gutless cowards who are afraid of their own shadows. But the psychiatrist is right, as I said repeatedly, if they take up with terrorists that is a different matter altogether. True cowards are easily controlled by ruthless criminals. Being cowards, they admire brute force and the ability to ride roughshod over people the way they wish they could. But right now they are still too gutless to link up with real criminals who deal in Real Death, instead of empty words -- especially when they know it will probably result in their own. Though that may change, it has not happened. And they are not, repeat NOT riding a tidal-wave of social movement like they did in the '60's and they know it. That is why their words are a substitute for deeds. Our best weapon against them is ridicule! Taking them seriously only validates and strengthens them. Discounting and ridiculing them weakens them. So, if you want to take action, RIDICULE THEM!!! AND CHILL!!!

Besides the 60's violence, there's a defined trail of firebombings and other activity linked to domestic movements like the ecofascists. Whenever you start thinking it can't happen, think of Pim Fortuyn and remember Italy's Red Brigades, which engaged in wholesale murder, kidnapping and mayhem for a decade or more. Red Brigades members have been described as being children of the country's privileged classes... can you think of any potential parallels here?

Violence doesn't have to amount to revolution to be damaging to our civil society.

Other statements by the professional psychiatrist:

This is the most dangerous time for the safety of the President. There will be a lot of rageful and vengeful leftists, who will delusionally believe that they were robbed of an election and might--with the right encouragement form many forces in American life--be tempted to harm Bush. The Secret Service should increase their vigilance at this time and for the next several weeks until emotions calm down.

AND

. . . the majority of the Left will only dig themselves deeper into the "hatred of America "meme, convinced that they are right and the rest of the country is composed of morons and rubes; and they become even more vicious and intolerant of anyone who disagrees with them--possibly even violent.
As above, there will be considerable "acting out" by the toddlers and adolescents of the Left.

I would like to fight a Bush supporter to vent my anger. If you are one, have a fiery streek, please contact me so we can meet and physically fight. I would like to beat the shit out of you.

Any NYCers want to take him on?

I really, really hope that moderate Democrats and Independents are paying attention to this insanity.

Marc:

o_O, I'm hiding under my bed now.

Air America highlight? There's an oxymoron for ya. (Or a "buck-toothed moron," anyway.)

Do a google search for "Gamma World". It was a cheesy, but entertaining RPG that came out in 1978. The premise is interesting....

Run your little mouths all you like, hippies. We're the ones who own all the guns, remember?

I watched a C-span presentation today of a talk by two aging hippies about the similarities of today with 1968. There was much talk about violence. One of the panelists, a woman, after speculating about all the horrible things Bush will no doubt commit in the next 4 years, said with a smile, "but then something bad might happen to him."

I kid you not.

There was no audience reaction that I could see.
