Republican Newsletter Calls For "Armed Revolution"

[Shadowlandistan]

I've seen people on both the left and the right make such calls.

Name one leftist in the US who has called for violent action against conservatives.

A leftist in power no less, i.e. Rick Perry & other crazy wing nuts

Rick Perry is a leftist?

Rick Perry is a leftist?

Only if you apply Pac Man physics, i.e. he goes so far right he ends up coming out from the left.

Haha sorry for the miscommunication, I meant that Rick Perry said he thought if the R's didn't win big in 2010, it would be time for a revolution. Also that one nutjob who ran against Harry Reid last time around, 2nd amendment remedies and such. NO leftist in power in the US has ever hinted at anything violent.

Secession, not revolution. But hey, similar predicament, albeit a much dumber one.

[Simon Cowell of the RR]

Please...please let them do this. I would love to see the brutal crackdown.

And then the delicious irony of them filing civil lawsuits with the help of leftist civil rights lawyers.

[Wikkiwallana]

If Obama again

No more Guns

No more 2nd amendment

Taxes raised more

77.8 millions out of work

A liberal/socialist kingdom

FIGHT FOR LIBERTY NOT LIBERALISM FORWARD

Vote Romney/Ryan 2012

Excuse me, but DON'T say Romney/Ryan will bring liberty. You can vote for them, and campaign for them all you want. Liberty is NOT drug prohibition, abortion prohibition, gay marriage prohibition, immigrant prohibition, or anything else conservatives want to BAN. If you were a RP supporter, I would respect you, but don't even think about calling what the typical conservative wants "liberty".

And don't you think about calling what Paul wants "liberty".

It doesn't matter who is doing the calling, these sort of calls are universally unacceptable as long as we have a democratic system with free and open elections in place.

But crushing false equivalency is so much fun!

Oh yes it would be so funny and not only that, but the republican party would lose a huge base of support. With only luck they would take such a huge blow that the democractic party would be the party of the right and a socialist party would occupy their current place. However, this is just wishful thinking. Too bad

Well this guy for one.

Well this guy for one.

An unsourced Youtube video of some random idiot. As compared to Republican party officials.

[Arkinesia]

Yeah um…this is like, super old.

This happened in May.

[Nazi Flower Power]

I don't get it. Obama is so moderate it's sickening. All this "socialist" crap is just a propaganda tool so they don't have to admit they are raging against him for racial reasons.

Secession is very much preferable to revolution because it allows the states remaining in the Union to keep the government we elected.

You're kidding, right?

First, the person writing in the newsletter called for a revolution, not violence against liberals. It was some random Joe, not a Congressman or Senator.

Second...

"I don't regret setting bombs,'' Bill Ayers said. ''I feel we didn't do enough.''

And yes, enviro-nut easily falls on the left wing.

And how about all of these? Or do only Republican activists count? http://michellemalkin.com/2011/01/10/th ... 2000-2010/

How about Gore Vidal saying he'd like to murder Bush? http://pushbacknow.net/2011/01/11/blovi ... -joybehar/

Seriously, anyone who thinks that violent discourse only comes from the right has to be delusional. Both sides have their fringes that say stupid things. Neither side is pure.

deep in his heart much like jimmy carter lusted after other women, i think obama is a socialist. He clearly does not rule like one.

that said, i would like to see a direct report of the newsletter, i hope it is false,

if i were a republican party leader i would not say anything about it till forced too, i wouldn't want to draw attention to it. Streisand effect.

Former district chief of the second largest union in America is some random idiot?

My point being there are people on the left and the right who advocate for violence, they are called the fringe and they are idiots. They are not exclusive to the right or to the left. Anybody who thinks otherwise is also an idiot.

2.) The right to bear arms is a right, not a privilege, thus cannot be simply voted away.

Actually, it can. Please review the procedure for constitutional amendment. You are somewhat right, in that there cannot be a direct vote by the people, but there can be a vote.

It is one of the original 10 rights provided by the Constitution.

Actually, it was not originally in the Constitution at all.

[Socialdemokraterne]

Yeah um…this is like, super old.

This happened in May.

And it was a newsletter for a single Virginia county, and it was the words of a single person (the editor). Even still, nothing wrong with looking in the rear view mirror and saying "What a knuckle dragger" and then moving on, right?

I linked to a HuffPo article which presented the entire newsletter in PDF format. I'll do so again.

Page 7, article title is "Whitehouse Watchdog". Calls for armed revolution may be found in the last column of the article, toward the end.

Name one leftist that has EVER held power in the US. Aside from Victor L. Berger

Wow, so it's even less news-worthy than even I took it for.
