Yes, Republicans Fantasize About Murdering Democratic Icons

by Matt Stoller [courtesy of Open Left - Front Page]

In the remarkable outpouring of ugly bigotry, a lot of people have finally woken up to the real nature of the Republican Party as a group of sadistic criminally minded yet competently organized citizens.  It's important to realize that what is being put on display isn't just racism against Obama, it's a full-on orgy of revulsion towards of anyone who believes in non-authoritarian ideas like equality for women, multiculturalism, or economic justice for all.  I happened upon a slew of right-wing email forwards today; the below picture is from a right-wing email titled 'Rudy Giuliani's Push To Save America...'

You might think that this can be excused as just a joke, but that would be foolish.  Republicans constantly fantasize about murdering prominent liberals, not just Hillary Clinton but Supreme Court Justices.  Their fantasies carry them into ritualized Birth of a Nation-style erotic fear-mongering about black men and white women.  This video has over 2M views, and conservatives are emailing it to each other and saying that it is Obama's preacher.

On the flip is an email forward about Obama that ends with the line "The Muslims have said they plan on destroying the US from the inside out, what better way to start than at the highest level - through the President of the United States, one of their own!!!!"

Who is Barack Obama?  Very interesting and something that should be considered in your choice.

If you do not ever forward anything else, please forward this to all your contacts...this is very scarey to think of what lies ahead of us here in our own United States...better heed this and pray about it and share it.  We checked this out on "snopes.com". It is factual. Check for yourself.

Who is Barack Obama?  Probable U. S. presidential candidate, Barack Hussein Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, to Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., a black MUSLIM from Nyangoma-Kogel, Kenya and Ann Dunham, a white ATHIEST from Wichita, Kansas.

Obama's parents met at the University of Hawaii. When Obama was two years old, his parents divorced. His father returned to Kenya His mother then married Lolo Soetoro, a RADICAL Muslim from Indonesia.?

When Obama was 6 years old, the family relocate to Indonesia. Obama attended a MUSLIM school in Jakarta. He also spent two years in a Catholic school.

Obama takes great care to conceal the fact that he is a Muslim. He is quick to point out that, "He was once a Muslim, but that he also attended Catholic school."

Obama's political handlers are attempting to make it appear that he is not a radical.

Obama's introduction to Islam came via his father, and that this influence was temporary at best. In reality, the senior Obama returned to Kenya soon after the divorce, and never again had any direct influence over his son's education.

Lolo Soetoro, the second husband of Obama's mother, Ann Dunham, introduced his stepson to Islam. Obama was enrolled in a Wahabi school in Jakarta.  Wahabism is the RADICAL teaching that is followed by the Muslim terrorists who are now waging Jihad against the western world. Since it is politically expedient to be a CHRISTIAN when seeking major public office in the United States, Barack Hussein Obama has joined the United Church of Christ in an attempt to downplay his Muslim background. ALSO, keep in mind that when he was sworn into office he DID NOT use the Holy Bible, but instead the Koran.

Barack Hussein Obama will NOT recite the Pledge of Allegience nor will he show any reverence for our flag. While others place their hands over their hearts, Obama turns his back to the flag and slouches.

Let us all remain alert concerning Obama's expected presidential candidacy.

The Muslims have said they plan on destroying the US from the inside out, what better way to start than at the highest level - through the President of the United States, one of their own!!!!

This can only be offset by a different electorate, and Obama is starting to create it.  I ran into a proud non-voter today who told me how much he dislikes politics.  He was a young father and a painter, and while he used to be interested in politics, he just thinks that his vote doesn't matter.  Instead of paying attention to politics, he wants to work hard, "make a little money", and take care of his family.  And what does he believe in?  He hates war, he thinks McCain is awful for wanting to stay in Iraq, and likes Obama.  And he doesn't believe in voting.  My guess is that he is going to be a voter in the next few years, probably because the country will continue to polarize and politics will continue to become more and more relevant to our lives and access to the system will level out.

But this relevance is going to come because the racism and ugliness of the right will fully flower, and we'll descend into a very dangerous period in American history.  It is not smart to think that Republicans share our values or that this is a group with whom we ought to work with on anything but extremely limited coalitions.  These may be ignorant and mean, but they are organized people that are quite competent at hating and bringing along others for the ride.  And they are honeycombed into important parts of the business world (like the cable industry) and all over the security industry.

These people like their non-lethal and their lethal weapons, and they want to use them on our leaders.  And probably, if it comes to it, on us.
