DU Leftists talking riots

[SteveS]

Wow, I just read both of those DU threads and they are over-the-top-irrational. I wasn't happy at either of Clinton victories, but I didn't let it control my life. They speak of Bush like he is all-powerful spectre that is everwhere. Riots, shunning Reds...that will win people to your cause. There are a huge number of moderates and independents out there and they won't listen to you when you act like crackpots. If Kerry had won and we said things like they did, I am sure we would be called a bunch of right-wing-evangelical-gun nut-fascists and would need to be jailed for violating hate speech laws.

Lighten up DU

Bob,

Here are some recent remarks posted on the democraticunderground, with expletives removed out of respect for Art's grandmother:

“Like some of the others have posted above, my thoughts are if they voted for Kerry, I consider them a brother/sister in arms, if they voted for Bush - f*ck 'em - they deserve, and will most surely get sooner or later, every bad piece of karma and mojo that is associated with those vile gangsters. F*cking republican *ss-monkey pigs... all of 'em.

My heart has bled dry - and I am sick and tired of their faux morals and anything else having to do with them.â€

“God, I am doing the same thing – especially with white, straight-seeming men in business suits. I think I need to lay low this weekend or I might hurt somebody.â€

~ smirkymonkey

“You can only push a liberal so far. Never never never f*ck with a liberal again. You will get the skin ripped right off your face, you conservative maggots.â€

~ graywarrior

“I wish the yard signs would stay out so I can tell who's a friend and who's an enemy of democracy. Ditto for bumperstickers.â€

~ Sabriel

“I'm finished with the nice guy routine. ANYONE who voted for this murderous bastard and his buddies are fair game as far as I'm concerned.â€

~ pjeffrey4444



I wouldn't let anyone with that mentality near a range, let alone teach them how to shoot.

These peolpe are nuts.Unfortunately,they are often better off professionally&financially then you would think the Marxist inclinations would lead them(families?).I work as a security contractor at a technology company's Massachusetts campus;a good number of the client's people are decent guys&gals.Quit a few more of them have a seriious screw loose.They were always loudly vocal of exactly wehat they thought of those with my beliefs&ideology,but the last two days has me thinking I'll be told to walk at least a few of them off the property.Truth be told,I'd not enjoy it (too much),I'd rather speak with people that openly&honestly disagree from an informed standpoint:you can reason with folks like that Even I f neither of you change you can remain friends.But the ones I'm around?Besides the level of anger,they don't appear to have paid attention tto ANYTHING that did not originate in the DU type fantasyland,maybe with Michael Moore providing artistic direction.
Coould ALL of them be crazy?Or is it just a REALLY strange designer drug reaction from the last pre election party

DU QUOTE OF THE DAY....

I will pray to the Universe every night that your children are all drafted and sent to Iraq where they get kidnapped, gangraped, tortured then finally beheaded. I truly in my heart of hopes really really really hope this wish comes true. Then I will laugh my [expletive deleted] off at your misery. Stupid sick evil [expletive deleted] narrow-minded retards.

Another amusing thread over there is one where they claim the vote counting was rigged because the votes don't match the exit polls.

BTW....get'em while they last.....

All talk. No action.

When they learn they have to wait 10 days to get their guns...

Pay very close attention to what you're hearing over there. This is how a large segment of the population views anyone they do not agree with. You are watching the cult reveal it's true nature.

I estimate it represents somewhere between 10 and 15% of the population. I think there is a solid 35 - 39% that are straight-down-the-line democratic die-hards no matter what (meaning they are Democrats above all else - regardless of the shifts in the party 'platform' they are part of the 'group' first, and individuals only second), and a little less than half of them are full-blown cult members who's membership in the group drives their very existance. A percentage of them (not an insignificant percentage) are going to be capable of violence in the face of having the existance of the group threatened.

A certain pecentage of the cultists would be capable of organizing or initiating violence, but a much larger percentage would follow them and participate. An even larger cut would support it passively, and an even larger percentage would not denounce it and larger still would remain silent if they felt that ultimately it would benefit the liberal socialist march towards power and control.

I am not kidding.

Enemies foreign and domestic.

GRD is right. Listen to them; don't dismiss them.
They have enough numbers and passion to be a problem - all they lack is a leader.

 

[perry1963]

some of those "quotes" are more like threats.

 

[Ironbarr]

GRD...

Right on.

That's, IMO, how the Brown Shirts of the 30's cranked up... until finally everyone was scared not to fall in line. Also sounds like the Iraqi problem with the shooters in town - coercion. After a while people "support" them by what's safest for themselves.

ctdonath - You are right about "a leader". **We'll be smart to watch out for a rising star - or maybe two, one militant, one political... not necessarily publicly endorsing each other.

**(My insideous mind at work again.)

Overdramatize much, guys?

The clods at DU are like baby birds: All mouth and full of sh*t.

Still, if it makes you feel all operatorish and covert and stuff to go there, it costs me nothing and lets you pretend to be at the heart of something epic.

That’s OK, The patriot act applies to them as well as, Al Quida, Neo Nazis the KKK or any other Fascist group that wants to overthrow our Government.

Bring em on.

 

[Hkmp5sd]

Overdramatize much, guys?

Nah, it's just amusing listening to what they are saying. They continuously call us right wing gun fanatics and blame us for killing babies in foreign countries while all they want to do is want to protect the rights of women, gays, non-christians, old folks, animals, trees, the air, government funded "Art" and the United Nations. And here they are openly calling for violence in American streets and "praying" for American casualties overseas.

Yea, it's all talk. Most of those jokers are probably mid-40s, still living with mom and even using her computer to rant while she's at work. If not for these idiots, Michael Moore would be an unemployed moron instead of making "Academy award winning documentaries."

I enjoy watching them foam at the mouth.

all they lack is a leader.

Well, that and a rational intellect.
