Their True Colors

There is something going on in America that most of us have ignored. Why waste time listening to Rabid Right radio? So we are not aware of the extent of the hate and violence being spewed by their propaganda leaders, the talk show hosts. Whether calculating, egomaniacal or psychotic--or most likely, some twisted combinaton--they would make a Nazi propagandist blush. The level, the range and the boldness of their abuse is astonishing and completely inconsistent with a civilized society, let alone a democracy.

Apparently driven even further by the election of the Democratic majority in Congress, several are openly advocating assassination of public officials. One of these bottom feeders who previously said Democratic members of Congress need to be killed, issued this statement concerning those who vote in favor of "amnesty" for illegal immigrants:

"ANY MEMBER OF CONGRESS WHO INTRODUCES, CO-SPONSORS OR VOTES IN FAVOR OF ANY SUCH AMNESTY WILL BE DECLARED A DOMESTIC ENEMY AND WILL BE CONSIDERED A LEGITIMATE TARGET FOR ASSASSINATION."

Involving other Rabid Rightists, a diary that has been on the recommended list for a couple of days at dkos details the efforts of a blogger named Spocko to reveal to advertisers the extent of the hate speech and the advocating of violence and torture at a Bay Area radio station owned by Disney--and Disney's threats against him (apparently after some advertisers withdrew in horror), resulting in his blog being forced off the Internet. His offense was including audio recordings on his blog of the station's talk show hosts, taken from the public airwaves, to prove his assertions. One of them was calling for the assassination of Rep. Nancy Pelosi, now Speaker of the House. Read it and be amazed. If you've been tempted to think of the Rabid Right as just another political ideology, you might think again. These stories reveal their true colors: the brownshirts of our generation.
