#OWS seranades police: "WTF?!"

I've been asking the same question over at my Etsy shop with this t-shirt:



Granted right now, it's just a design... to save money, I'm going to wait until I have an order to make the screens and print a copy... but then I'll have photos of the real deal!

This is exactly how I feel right now

Glenn Beck: "You're going to have to shoot them in the head"

So I have no idea if the shooter in Tucson watched Glenn Beck's show, and I'm not going to try to link this broadcast to the shooting there.

However, the debate we should have is this:

1) Is this supposed to be a "joke?" Or tongue-in-cheek or something? Because it seems like he's being totally serious.
2) How has his audience interpreted these sorts of remarks?
3) Is it okay that we have people on TV calling for their viewers to shoot people in the head if they disagree with you?
4) Does this qualify as hate speech?

Have you seen this load of tripe?

Talking Feds 3 from RightChange on Vimeo.

You would think that a video depicting Obama as being soft on the oil companies would be coming from some progressive leftist organization like GreenChange.org or GreenPeace.

But no. This right-wing PAC called "Right Change" is playing on anger over the oil spill, and placing blame squarely on the shoulders of Obama.

There's one problem: the disaster in the Gulf of Mexico isn't his fault.

Sure, Obama's administration shares some of the blame for continuing the rubber stamp policies for drilling permits at the MMS, and for dragging their feet when it comes to cleaning out the former employees who were literally in bed with the industry, but the disaster does not start with Obama.

What is Right Change's solution? Elect Republicans.

It's the conservative mantra of "Deregulate, Deregulate Deregulate!" that was at the source of the problem. Conservatives wanted less government, and corporate democrats wanted the same thing, with different language (they're pro-business.)

That this organization is riffing on the public's anger over the oil spill, and then offering the election of Republicans to "take back washington" is beyond disingenuous.

This double-think required to NOT see the contradiction here would scare even George Orwell.

Here's something you can do to hold Democrats and Republicans accountable, and prevent future oil spills from happening:

Rightwing News Hacks call for Obama's Assasination

Published in Veterans Today Gordon Duff reports on an incident in which the Right-wing propaganda... er "online news magazine" Newsmax called overtly for a military coup and assassination of the President.

First there's this graphic:



Come on, really?

Next there's the actual article itself:

Military intervention is what Obama’s exponentially accelerating agenda for “fundamental change” toward a Marxist state is inviting upon America. A coup is not an ideal option, but Obama’s radical ideal is not acceptable or reversible. Unthinkable? Then think up an alternative, non-violent solution to the Obama problem. Just don’t shrug and say, “We can always worry about that later.”

There is a remote, although gaining, possibility America’s military will intervene as a last resort to resolve the “Obama problem.” Don’t dismiss it as unrealistic.

America isn’t the Third World. If a military coup does occur here it will be civilized. That it has never happened doesn’t mean it wont. Describing what may be afoot is not to advocate it. So, view the following through military eyes:

And at this point, the original article goes on to make it's case on why the military ought to revolt against their own country and assassinate the president, which you can read all about in Gordon Duff's full article.
