    How many times do things like this have to surface before the conservatives on this site admit that it’s pervasive?

    Seriously. This is getting ridiculous.

    My guess is that it’s going to have to take a Beck and Limbaugh-led armed insurrection at the steps of the White House before Farris, Jay, Frank, and AO admit that this is happening.

    And even then, they will cheerlead rather than condemn.

    9 months enduring of mild healthcare reforms, progressive income tax changes, encouraging young students to work harder, exit stratagies in Afghanistan? When will the tryanny end?!1!!!

    You guys are nutcases for trying to portray this as pervasive if you want this conservative’s candid admission, mambo. Especially after libs scoffed at the terrorist threat the last six or seven years.

    Honestly. You guys are just embarrasssing yourselves. No one I know talks like this. There’s just a whole cottage industry in which it’s either profitable or politically expedient to hunt and peck everywhere they can to find crap like this. And evidently a massive pearl-clutching faction starving for more of it. Just look at how they were chomping at the bit to make anything they could out of the death of the census worker in Kentucky a few weeks ago. Now nothing. It was like a movement going on. Now everyone on the left has completely dropped it.

    Weird.

    Dennis, the reason we aren’t talking about it anymore is that we don’t have any new information. Unlike Republicans and conservatives, we don’t just make shit up on a slow day and hope every buys it.

    There haven’t been any more developments from law enforcement. Unlike the conservative blogosphere we wait for things to happen before talking about them, rather than just making them up.

    Then why aren’t you pressing the MSM to supply you with more info, soullite. That was the whole purpose of movement, wasn’t it? Robert Stacy McCain got in his Kia and drove from DC all the way to the actual crime scene as remote as it was. Why can’t some kid from Think Progress or Media Matters in DC do the same thing since it’d be so much in their interests to do so? Incredibly beautiful trip to make this time of year, too.

    Oliver, dude, c’mon, it’s me. I was here posting when you jumped the gun and the shark too when you were whooping it up over the Playboy article on Rick Santelli and the VRWC conspiracy story that they had to take down from their website the very next day after first posting it. Was anyone able to verify anything from that horseshit story? Anything at all?

    And no one waited at all on the Kentucky incident. ‘fed’ and census worker was all the information lib blogs needed and they were off to the races. I thought Indeed here was going to have a coronary.

    So today the famous Floyd Brown, (now of World Net Daily) makes the first call for Obama’s impeachment. I wonder what took him so long?

    And last week we had a Newsmax columnist calling for a military coup. Newsmax took it down after being called on it, but it turns out that this wasn’t a one-off outlier. Jonathan Schwarz noted in an email to me that there has been quite a bit of this at the teabagger rallies:

    Well, in fairness, we on the left have been a bit slack on this. I don’t think TPM has sent anyone to investigate the material in Bill Sparkman’s countertops. Or chase his co-workers down in the Safeway parking lot.

    The MSM doesn’t evne do it’s own job, I really doubt they are going to do the FBI’s job. As much as it would warm my heart to see those cowards strap on some body armor and hire up some mercs so they can go traipsing around appalachia. For one, they don’t have the balls for it. Two, there aren’t enough starbucks and 4-star brothels to keep them entertained.

    I take it your state doesn’t have mountain folk. Trust me, you don’t just send a guy out to talk to them. You send three three armed and armored vehicles, explosives, and high-powered assault weapons and have shoot outs with them. That’s a job best left to the FBI.

    Hey, they all made it up to Wasilla and were able to camp out there for a long enough time to get all the dirt they needed to meet their objectives then, didn’t they? And I linked to a story by a guy that did exactly that… by himself.

    That took some stones, don’t you think?

    What the heck difference does it make what a blogger ‘opined’? There were a hundred times that many bloggers who were convinced this was an assault spurred on by a crazy who was under the mind control of Glenn Beck, or at least that was going to be their strategy. You guys weren’t ‘opining’, either. You were calling for the MSM to get all over this case so you could do everything you could to pin it on Glenn Beck and Michelle Bachmann and Eric Cantor. It was sad and pathetic, quite frankly. Appears you’ve either come to your senses or realized you had nothing to go on. Not that you ever did.

    I’d have to agree with fafaroo on this one. No reporting to speak of, certainly McCain had nothing to add to the story other than how scary the local yokels were. :rolls eyes:

    You guys are nutcases for trying to portray this as pervasive if you want this conservative’s candid admission, mambo.

    – One of the paying sponsors of the 9/12 anti-Obama rally in September was the National Association for Rural Landowners, a group that references the incidents at Waco and Ruby Ridge to call for attacks on “government entities” and liberals. In a YouTube video posted in July, the group makes the case for a secession, followed by a violent civil war.

    – Calling the government “destructive of our rights,” the founder of the popular conservative website FreeRepublic called for “removing from office the President of the United States, the Vice President of the United States and all U.S. Senators and U.S. Representatives effective immediately” in July. Republican lawmakers, like Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-NC), regularly use the website as a portal for talking points.

    – Tea parties have been a constant venue for right-wing rage and calls for violence against the government. In April, Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX) told a crowd, “Thomas Jefferson once said that the tree of liberty will be fed with the blood of tyrants and patriots. You are the patriots.” ThinkProgress documented similar rhetoric from Rep. Joe Barton (R-TX) and from rallies attended by Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-VA). Americans for Prosperity, a group funded Koch Industries’ David Koch that works to plan tea parties, has sponsored speakers comparing health reform to the Holocaust.

    – Prominent Republican politicians have framed top Obama agenda items as deserving violent resistance. Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) has said, “I want people…armed and dangerous” against clean energy reform. Gov. Rick Perry (R-TX) has floated the idea of secession in response to policies like the economic stimulus.

    – Leading right-wing media outlets have called for “revolution.” Glenn Beck has hosted segments predicting “violent tax revolts,” Michael Savage often says, “We’re going to have a revolution in this country,” radio show host Jim Quinn has called for “riots” because “our country was built on revolution, and it’s about time we took it back.”

    Shut the fuck up, Dennis. You’re embarrassing yourself again.

    I searched for that Robert Stacy McCain article and here’s what I found:

    “[T]he media now force interracial images into the public mind and a number of perfectly rational people react to these images with an altogether natural revulsion. The white person who does not mind transacting business with a black bank clerk may yet be averse to accepting the clerk as his sister-in-law, and THIS IS NOT RACISM, no matter what Madison Avenue, Hollywood and Washington tell us.”

    Wait, did Robert Stacy McCain really write that? Wow. Wrong piece, but whoa. Moving on:

    Harvard president Lawrence Summers should be “persecuted and run out of town” for supporting gay rights.

    Whoops, still the wrong Robert Stacy McCain article. Hmm. Where is that piece? This it:

    To repeat what I have said in earlier posts: Emmett Till was not killed at random for the crime of being black. He was not hanged on the public square for advocating nonviolent social change. He was kidnapped and murdered by two men who felt that he had personally wronged them.

    Hmm. That ain’t it either. This R.S. McCain sure sounds like a Republican reporter though. Ah, here it is:

    Right. Anybody who knows anything about law enforcement knows that when the FBI gets involved in a criminal investigation, their “helping” generally takes the form of big-footing all over the case and bossing everybody else around.

    Stupid Feds! Well, except for the time they spied on Martin Luther King, Jr. and smeared him as a communist (and other stuff). R.S. McCain thought that was awesome!

    There are times, as I’ve often said, when any self-respecting journalist must ask himself one question: “What Would Hunter S. Thompson Do?” And in this case, it seemed to me, the answer was blindingly obvious:

    Kill me.

    No more lonely place in the world could be imagined.

    Actual sentence to begin a paragraph. Edward George Bulwer-Lytton can suck it!
    Ooh, next graf:

    A lonely place – and a lonely feeling, too.

    Oh, my:

    FEAR AND LOATHING ON ARNETTS FORK ROAD
    So here I was alone, at the entrance to Hoskins Cemetery Road. I wrote down the time in my notebook, got out of the car and took a few photos of the bridge and gate with my small Kodak digital camera. It was actually a lovely scene. The large hardwood trees lining the banks of the stream were still summer green in late September. The afternoon was cool and breezy, the sky was overcast with heavy clouds, and the only sounds were the wind in the trees and the quiet burbling of the little brook flowing east, parallel to Arnetts Fork Road.

    Just then, I heard the sound of a car approaching from the direction of Big Double Creek Road. Standing by the roadside, I flagged down the blue sedan and approached the driver’s side window. The driver looked to be in her early 30s, and there was a child’s car seat in the back, but no child.

    “Excuse me, ma’am,” I said to the lady, trying to smile as friendly as I could. “I’m a reporter, covering the murder y’all had up here.”

    How passively horrible. And not parody. Really. This is on the level.
    Good grief:

    If Bill Sparkman hadn’t just driven up here to Hoskins Cemetery to enjoy the scenery, but rather had been lured up here or brought here by his killer, then whoever killed him was almost certainly a local resident, someone familiar with the area. No way somebody from out of town, a stranger to the area, would have driven past many other possible places to dump a body in order to reach this isolated location.

    Thank goodness McCain’s on the job with some real reportin’! Tthose stupid-head big-footing Feds–er, FBI–they’d never figure this out like ol’ Gumshoe Bob.

    It gets worse from there. Read the whole thing–if you’ve been really, really bad.

    Balloon Juice:

    In light of the fact that it looks increasingly likely that a census worker was murdered in Kentucky a few weeks ago, this kind of rhetoric from a Congressman is really fucked up:

    Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) took to the airwaves on Fox today to warn viewers of the rapists and child molesters he says will be coming to their doors courtesy of the U.S. government next year.

    Speaking on “Studio B” this afternoon, Chaffetz responded to recent Senate testimony from a GAO official who said it was “possible” that improper fingerprinting procedures at the Census Bureau led to the hiring of somewhere around 200 temporary census workers “with extensive criminal records.” The official said the bureau had dismissed 750 of 1,800 temporary workers it hired last year with criminal records after reviewing details of the workers’ cases.

    This is just disgusting.

    Maybe Ol’ Gumshoe Bob will investigate!
