The Rise of Anti-Government Bigots: Spitting, the N-Word, Anti-Gay/Lesbian Slurs

I'm sure Sarah Palin would be " shocked and almost speechless" if anyone interpreted her "targets" as "cross hairs". When will folks learn to accept their responsibility in the power of "suggestion".

Someone yanked that picture from the link. Do you have it somewhere still?

I'm concerned about April 19th. April 19th was the start of the American Revolution, the Branch Davidian fire, and the Oklahoma bombing. This year, the tea baggers and the gun nuts are staging events all over the country, including a 2nd Amendment gathering in DC. I've heard that they are also having a big 'bring your guns' gathering at a park in Virginia, supposedly the closest location that they could find to DC where they can tote their guns in public. Obama is speaking about health care that day in Virginia, too.

In regards to the 2nd Amendment rally, um, jackasses, Obama supports the 2nd Amendment and gun owners' rights. Get a fucking clue.

Gas line cut at home of Va. congressman's brother

RICHMOND, Va. — Authorities are investigating a severed propane line at the home of a Virginia congressman's brother after tea party activists posted the man's address online.

Activists are upset about U.S. Rep. Tom Perriello's vote in favor of the health care reform.

Perriello's office said that a line to a propane tank on a gas grill was cut at Bo Periello's Charlottesville home on Tuesday. Tea party activists had posted the address online thinking it was the congressman's home, telling opponents to drop by and "express their thanks" for his vote.

Albemarle County spokeswoman Lee Catlin said the county fire marshal's office was assisting the Federal Bureau of Investigation. She said investigators didn't believe the home's occupants were in danger.

Whoa.. April 19!

What I am finding lately is that I get the same dreded feelings as I did back in the 60's when civil unrest resulted in violence. Doesn't matter what political or ideological sentiments are involved. It is remembering the people killed (Kent State, the assinations of JFK, MLK, & RFK, the race related rioting and burnings, for example) and hurt, the crazy eyes, the hateful eyes, the absence of reason. The lack of regard for human life.... all of our lives. I don't want to go back to that, not the violence.

I believe in our right to protest and demonstrate. I just don't want bloodshed. And I see so many politicians stoking the fire in order to gain power and frankly bring down a Democratic/perceived as far-left African American president. African American is the operative detail, I honestly believe.

We are sinking into such power mongering and hate.

I believe this, too. I believe this has nothing at all to do with politics in the sense of bills and amendments, etc, and everything to do with politics in the sense of racial hatred.

I'm still praying for the safety of everyone associated with the White House.

I know, me too. I remember the day JFK was shot and exactly how I felt, even at the age of 12. It was one of the most horrid days of my life. Not so much because my parents backed him, but just having it happen, knowing the hate goes to that level.

I know all president's have threats, but Obama has many more threats than most do. I was not happy when that couple made their way into a White House affair... did not feel that Obama and his family are being protected as good as can be.

and no I am not paranoid. Those of you old enough, remember...when the favor splits and havoc plays on the sense of right from wrong, moral elitists will form groups to select out those who they deem sinful and will make it illegal.

if you think we dont have a seperation of church from state now, just wait...

Thank you, Ma'am... I feared that all of the new blood that was involved in getting Obama elected would fade after the election and that we would be where we are with the 2010 midterms. Let us not forget Clinton and the '96 midterm elections... and Newt! And Rove is still workin' the crowds- has a new book out!

Right now, it is very important to be firing-up the progressive and liberal masses, folks! November is just around the corner! Our work did not end with Obama's election!

[Soft*Silver]

"our work did not end with Obama's election"

Indeed..it only began...

I am terrified that people will now sit back and rest their hands over their plump little bellies (me included, as in plump little belly) and bask in our credits of having elected the first black president.

While we are doing that, the Non-Obamas (the NO's) are quietly and quicklye gathering forces ... and momentum...

if you dont like what you are seeing and hearing...trust that what you are not hearing and seeing would make your skin crawl...

history is going to repeat itself....unless we get working on our sand bags...cuz that "damn" is rising...

[Rockinonahigh]

We all new change was comeing even if Hillary had gotten on office insted of Obama.Im not surprised at whats happend in the last year.Obama has given the gop plenty of time to work with him as a team puting this country to rights and on a leval playing feild with the modern world on many issues.This hasnt happened and we know why...the gop has owned this country for a long time and they hate loseing it,hell ist made them richer and the rich richer,the rest of us can work ourselves to the bone and have little or nothing but the scraps of what the repubs toss out.Will we have to meet them at a line drawn in the sand?OMG! I hope not,but I really think we will at some point cause Palin is/has and will keep feeding them the same retoric she has been no matter how she white washes it she preaches hate,raceism and intolernce..not to mention classism.Its not even about religion..thtas just one more prop they are useing to build up the fires of hate...nothing worse than a religious was..look at the two wars we are in.In reality I know the dems arent going to just let them march in a d take it away with out one dam fine fight to hold on to the new USA that is forming as we speak.U bet im not giveing it up and I doubt anyone who wants to have a real life will.

Only one thing.

I DON'T RUN, let them come.
After all I thought for sure during Shrub's time in office I'd piss someone off enough with my emails and my political rants blog, that I would end up in jail for my beliefs.

Another great article: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/28/op...me&ref=general


The only thing which will stop them in their tracks is if we who are not racist--the true Silent Majority in the US today--stand up and say to the Teabaggers and to the Republican party, "Racism is NOT acceptable in the USA; racism is NOT a family value; racism is NOT patriotic!"

And so it begins. The reality is that the militia groups that exist in the US have been here for a while. But I wonder if latest developments have given them reason to stand up and become more active in their behaviour.

[MsDemeanor]

The Southern Poverty Law Center tracks militia groups and the have noted a great increase in activity. These groups ebb and flow; they were quite active during Clinton, then quieted down during Bush II.

The SPLC has loads of information, including maps, at their web site. splcenter.org

This site is terrific, thanks.

Obama's election and the recession have a lot to do with the increase in activity. Yes, they have always been around, and will continue to be. I just think it is very important to speak-out about this activity.

Bit- you are right, it is up to the silent majority to stop the silence. I am not naive enough to believe that these idiots will ever change, but, I don't have to accept what they say and do.

The GOP is actually courting tea baggers! They want their votes!!!

Nixon... he coined the term Silent Majority...
