This Is Why They Are Called ‘Wingnuts’
Blue Fields of Indiana pointed me to this little ditty about a man who is suspected of going on a rampage killing two people and critically wounded three others in Florida. What makes this rampage a little more of interest than your run-of-the-mill rampages was his reasons.
Neighbor Crystal Lynn says “he did come up to me one time and asked me if I was ready for the revolution to begin and if I had any immigrant in my house to get them out.”
The victims were foreign nationals who appear to have been working in the U.S. legally.

This is why I encourage everyone to go read Dave Neiwert’s “Eliminationism in America” series. We need to be able to identify this kind of hatred, and we need to be ready to stamp it out. We need to drop the pearl-clutching talk about the rights of those who encourage violence, and we need to start making these people responsible for what they start.
Now, I haven’t read the entire series, but I feel that this is something that we will be discussing more in the future here at Delaware Liberal.
Note: I did not come across this story because of Blue Fields of Indiana’s link back to Jason330’s post on Hannity’s dumbass poll. It was just happenstance.

This is why I worry so much, and what people like Sean Insanity are courting – deliberately.
He must have not understood the fact that the calls for revolution were tongue-in-cheek.
What gets me is that the right wing blogs NEVER condemn this kind of thing. Nor will Mike Castle make any kind of comment telling his wingnut follwers to simmer down.
If he did, he’d then turn around and justify their insanity with a “however,”.
What gets me is that the right wing blogs NEVER condemn this kind of thing.
And the traditional media doesn’t seem to know what to do with this kind of stuff, either. It took them quite awhile to start calling out Sarah Palin and John McCain on their bullshit, and even then it was largely to tell them that they were going too far even for republican campaign rhetoric.
But as for right wing blogs — for the local ones it is probably alot easier for them to monitor this space for any hint of violence aimed at repubs rather than get their own to stop contributing to the credibility drain.
And yet you somehow find it impossible to call for the same sort of restrictions upon Islam that you believe should be imposed upon conservatives.
rhymes are you a terrorist like Hannity?
Know what? no. don’t even answer. I keep forgetting that you are a small person with no real ideas who just likes to spam websites with your link to your sideways manifesto of what you think America ought to be.
Sanity, not Hannity won the election. you can whine and complain all you want. If you actually commit treason, you’ll be legally prosecuted. Hopefully, your life will improve and you will be able to find it in yourself to credit where credit is due. But I doubt it. Keep your hate to yourself. grow up, wake up. Welcome to America
I hereby call on Islamic conservatives to stop advocating terrorism and violence.
a.price — I’d like to challenge you right now. Since you call him a terrorist, name one act of terrorism committed by Sean Hannity — or admit that you are a liar who slanders his/her opponents rather than actually attempting to deal with them on the basis of their ideas.
Rhymes with Right; I would call calling this current economic mess the Obama recession which he has for the past 3 months an act of terrorism as it`s a blatent lie used to shield the actual guilty parties from any blame what so ever.
This kind of partisen idiocy just makes finding a solution all that much more difficult for all of us. And he uses this tactic constantly to serve only himself and his extreme philosophy.
Osama bin Laden didn’t fly the planes and Charles Manson didn’t commit the murders. So, RWR, what would you call them?
How many boggers who feel ‘hot’ are willing to engage in any public debate on a wide range of issues where they do not control the microphone or camera?
It is one thing to be ‘cute’ and think that gratuitous vulgarity is a sign of ‘hotness’.
Glibness may pass for eloquence in some circles and some have used oratorical skill to gain high office. Regrettably, the skill set that wins elections is not necessarily the one needed for prudent governance.
pandora — When you plan the terrorist acts, you are a part of committing them. What terrorist acts do you allege have been planned by Sean Hannity?
Instructor — So now dissent is terrorism? I guess we on the right have been correct for eight years when we have said that you folks only believe dissent is the highest form of patriotism when the president has an R after his name.
By the way, folks — the very sort of language you use towards Republicans and conservatives would qualify as “eliminationist” under the whack-job theory proposed by Neiwert.
First of all, Pete Session from Texas said the Republicans have to mount a Taliban like Insurgency. Second, supporting an armed takeover of the government is illegal, calling for one is treason. Yes, I know the constitution says …. basically if they deserve it, it is our duty to carry one out. But you and your rebel militias are in the extreme minority. Like the Arian Nation in Idaho. If THEY marched in Washington would you support it because it is there Constitutional right to take down a government that doesn’t support them? BTW quote ONE major left wing personality that gave support to these kind of ideas.
And FYI, the Islamic Terrorists ALSO think they are freedom fighters.
The terrorists NEVER consider themselves terrorists.
Dissent is one thing. We found a candidate, got him elected, did it legally. No one seriously planned to assassinate Bush (reason? 2 words “president cheney”) Calling for the violent overthrow of a president less than a month into the presidency is….. wait for it…. TERRORISM yyyaaaayyyyy
When Bush was in office people who didn’t like him threatened to leave the country — they weren’t threatening (certainly not with the kind of audience Hannity NOR his message boards have) to hurt their fellow citizens.
rwr; it goes with out saying that dissent was encouraged by our founding fathers who did not want us to have to pay homage to a king. To take on the stimulus package or any other policy or appointment that the Obama administration has actually done is normal dissent. terrorism is when you assign total blame to an unfolding tragedy that will be causing unpresidented suffering to millions of working americans and unjustly trying to pin all the blame on a man who only took office 6 weeks ago. It`s especially dangerous when you realize that if the average Hannity listener is probably a racist to start with and if their I.Q.s where a point lower we would have to water them twice a day.
The statement itself ” the obama recession” is as moronic a statement as I`ve ever heard and if you had any selfrespect you would not defend it yourself. If you belive the statement to be fact I must hear your reasons.
