The Face of Hate

_{Photo:A Molotov cocktail explodes in front of the San Francisco Chronicle offices during a leftist anti-war rally}

In light of the Democrat party and the media (but I repeat myself) spouting the talking points that Sarah Palin and Tea Party members have used inflammatory language, thus inspiring the Arizona killer on Saturday, I just thought I'd offer up a few reminders of who really tries to inspire violence (thanks to Nicole):

-Chris Matthews fantasizing on air about seeing Rush Limbaugh shot in the head here

-Sandra Bernhard: Sarah Palin should be GANG RAPED if she comes to New York here

Photo: Left wing Palin protestors.

-The Craig Kilborn Show superimposing the words "Snipers Wanted" over the face of President George W. Bush here

-Nobel "Peace Prize" winner Betty Williams publicly stating her desire to murder President George W. Bush. here

-Pelosi and company slander teens and toddlers calling them nazis here

2009 Atlas video debunking Left hate smear

-British film makers Gabriel Range and Simon Finch making a 2006 movie fantasizing about assassinating President George W. Bush here

-Alec Baldwin urging the murder of Henry Hyde, his family, and ALL Congressional Republicans and their families on national television.....here

-David Guy McKay and Bradley Neil Crowder, two America-hating left-wing terrorists, were arrested by the FBI after conspiring to firebomb Republicans at the 2008 GOP Convention in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The American Media refused to report the story. here

My coverage of left wing violence at RNC 2008 here:

RNC Protests Day 4 WARNING: The video contains extreme language. St. Paul's wild week of world-class protests ended Thursday with a flurry of demonstrations, mass arrests and traffic-stopping events. The videographer, Ben Garvin, was arrested after this was filmed and eventually released.

-NPR commentator and ABC News reporter Nina Totenberg wishes death by AIDS on Senator Jesse Helms and/or his grandchildren here.

-Julianne Malveaux publicly wishes death on Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas here.

-Obama supporter bites off finger of Tea Party supporter here

-Last but certainly not least, then-candidate Barack Hussein Obama promised to bring a gun to a knife fight here.

Later, as President of the United States, BHO told Democrats to "punch back twice as hard" here

There are literally hundreds of videos currently viewable on YouTube of Bush being burned in effigy. I’ve posted a screenshot of one above, but rather than clog up this post with several embedded YouTube videos (which slows down the page loading), I’ll simply post links to several of the videos here:

Bush getting burned
bush you liar we’ll set your ass on fire
Burning George Bush
George W Bush burns in effigy (Washington DC)
And for a little variety: Bush getting smashed

(On the “Related videos” sidebars for all of these you can find many additional burning-Bush-in-effigy videos.)

In case you feel that burning Bush in effigy “doesn’t count” — just imagine the outcry there would be if even a single instance of Obama being burned in effigy was filmed (claims of “lynching,” etc.).

Threats in other settings (i.e. not at protests)

Bumper sticker implying that Bush should be hanged.
(Photo by Last Mohican.)

As far as I can tell, no one was ever stopped or investigated by the Secret Service for displaying this bumper sticker. Compare that to what happened to a man in Oklahoma on February 12, who had a sign in his car saying “Abort Obama Not the Unborn” — which not only caused the police to pull him over and confiscate the sign, but which eventually led to the Secret Service searching his house looking for evidence that he was a threat to the president. Double standard? You decide.

Wider-angle shot showing the bumper sticker above in context, with a pro-Obama sticker on the same car, proving that the sticker was displayed by a Bush detractor, not a supporter.

The anti-Israel conspiracy site nogw.com hosts this pdf file which describes a mock trial and execution of George Bush for a bizarre litany of purported crimes; included in the document is this image of Bush being hanged at the trial.

UPDATE: More Violent Democrats: Congressman Paul Kanjorski On Florida Governor Rick Scott: "Put him against the wall and shoot him."

UPDATE: It bears noting that the left are hard core Jew haters. Who is inciting to violence, hate, and bigotry? These photos photojournalist, Zombietime:

While the event was advertised as being specifically a protest against the invasion of Gaza, there seemed to me to be an undercurrent of unabashed anti-Semitism. This woman, for example, carried a sign that said "Jews Are Terroist!" ("terrorists," one assumes she meant), and dressed her very cute daughters in matching Palestinian flag outfits.


This fellow, who has made appearances before on zombietime, held a sign saying "SMASH the Jewish State," held together by his trademark binder clips.


Another repeat offender showed up: a protester who claims to be Jewish yet who inevitably displays the most blatantly anti-Semitic handwritten signs. On this day, his placards declared, "Every Zionazi Is a Legitimate Military Target" and "Target All Zionist Businesses." I wouldn't want to be that guy's therapist.


She may condemn Israel as a "monster nation," but at least she concedes it is a nation at all: Many of the speakers at the rally did not even acknowledge Israel's political existence. Nothing more than a temporary occupying force, soon to be brushed away.


"Globalize the Intifada." This is the fundamental message underlying all of these anti-Israel rallies organized by far-left radical groups: They see the Palestinian Intifada as the first wave of attack in a global revolution. Which, in their delusional fantasies, will usher in a secular communist utopia. This goes a long way toward explaining how left-wing groups can possibly give their support to Hamas, which is after all a repressive theocratic regime. (The Bookworm Room blog has now written an interesting essay about this one particular photo and the mindset behind the sign.)
Standing shoulder to shoulder with these leftists at the rally were more traditional Hamas (and Hizbullah) supporters: Muslims (presumably) who support Hamas and Hizbullah because they are Islamic theocracies. Here, this woman shows her sign to the hundreds of Israel supporters rallying on the other side of the street, in front of City Hall.


Remember the family in our first photo? Here they are back at the rally site, taunting the Jews who were counter-protesting across the street. (This photo and the photo below were submitted by a contributor who wishes to remain anonymous.)
I didn't notice this at first, but the littlest girl was also carrying a second sign that said "Jews Are Terrorist" (visible on the left).



Somewhere there at the bottom under all those feet, barely visible, is an Israeli flag.



Meanwhile, protesters who openly supported the terrorist organization Hamas and waved the Hamas flag (as seen here) received no warnings at all about inciting the crowd. 
 
The crowd was pretty hardcore, but there was a contingent of left-wing "progressive" peaceniks who were there in all sincerity protesting for "peace," asking Israel to stop its hostilities. And while some of the more sophisticated extremists pretended to go along with them, posing as more mainstream and also pretending that "peace" was the goal, other pro-Palestinian protesters were more honest about what they seek, such as this group leader who promised "War for ever" against Israel. 
 

Yeah, full democratic rights for gays, lesbians, bisexuals, transgenders. Right. Oh wait, silly me, there is a country involved in this conflict where gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgenders have full democratic rights: it's called Israel. And if you truly wanted freedom and equality for gays and lesbians in the region, you'd be protesting against the harsh shari'a regime of Hamas, under which homosexuality or "gender transgression" of any kind brings an immediate death sentence.


"Just another queer Jew to end the occupation." This is satire -- right? Please tell me you're joking.

I've purposely not yet shown any of the Nazi comparisons on display at the rally, because I thought I'd group them all together here for more impact. Swastikas were everywhere.


I'm not quite grasping what you mean, sir. Could you express yourself more clearly?

Pamela,
Thank you for organizing and posting this. I want to know which liberal used this opportunity to get the House Dems to ask for a delay on the Obamacare repeal. Only a damn liberal would think of this first- after almost losing one of their own. What a bunch of opportunists.

[john jay]

pamela:

maybe it is time for a little "dustup" just to clear the air.

nobody has ever approached the democrats/liberals/communist agitprop people at this kind of bullshit. maybe it is just time to draw the battle lines and have at it, and just get it out of everybody's system for a little while.

i find it offensive sharing the same air with these people, and sharing the same geography is getting downright tiresome, and very irksome.

do they really want to mix it up?

Good collection. I don't like no Repugs, at least most of them, But darn near ALL the DEMOs are EVIL. How unfortunate a real Blue DOG JFK Demo and Judge got wacked but this sicko. Not to mention that poor little girl and the other 4 people killed and how many wonded! Could it be a mind control gittin rid of blue dogs. NOTHIN THE LEFT HATES MORE THAN A MINORITY OR A DEMO that doesn't tow the line!

[Cowardly_Prez]

This post should be required viewing by all Americans. You should get FOX News to air this and the make a contrast to the "crosshairs" the stupid liberals are whining about. I think it would shut the left up.

[Getzel]

Pamela, its good that you are exposing the actions of the crazy left. Political civility needs to be a two way street.

[MARTEL]

The more they try to bullshit us the more we see through their crap. Next election they will lose. November was just a warmup. The genuine, serious American people are awake. During the Vietnam era, the "hippies" were VASTLY outnumbered by the non-hippies. The non-hippies are about to assert themselves big time. Somehow the hippies have gotten themselves "in charge" for the moment. Expirement OVER. OK? Have we all learned our lesson? Yes I think we have. 2012. The beginning of the world.

[Terry G]

I'm no big fan of left/right paradigm politics. But have noticed over the years, that followers in the left wing camp sure do enjoy vile, destructive and hateful antics to get their message across to others. They lay claim to the idea that there working harder to make life easier and nicer for everyone. When infact they're the ones who make life harder for everyone else, by asking for more state intervention.

[jj]

pamela:

this is a brilliant post. for what it is worth, i have linked it at my little shoppe, ... , "traffic coming your way," best of bloggers. smiling.

you make the case, absolutely & unequivocally. the left started this bullshit in the 1960's, and they continue this incitement to riot and murder even now. and, now that one of their own has killed and wounded and maimed, they try and fob responsibility off onto sarah palin and rush limbaugh for this crappola.

if they want a fight, i think we should give it to them. i personally don't think they have either the cajones or the stomach for it. but, perhaps they should get precisely what they incite.

Pam it is people like you who are putting the facts out to counter the lies of the left are the reason Obama wants to take control of the net, keep up the good work and help us remain free.

A each year passes, it's undeniable that the left is wrong, always wrong, on everything, all the time. Observant people will figure that out.

By aiming blame at Sarah Palin, the media and political elites set Obama up for a show down. I don’t think he wants to tangle with Sarah again.

Forget about the shock-jocks.

[Mike in San Diego]

If I saw any of those signs/shirts on the street I would knock the person holding/wearing it the f**k OUT!

Then i would take the charge with a smile.

[JamestheFin]

Pamela,

don't forget this one...

"On November 2, the entire civilised world will be praying, praying Bush loses. And Sod’s law dictates he’ll probably win, thereby disproving the existence of God once and for all. The world will endure four more years of idiocy, arrogance and unwarranted bloodshed, with no benevolent deity to watch over and save us. John Wilkes Booth, Lee Harvey Oswald, John Hinckley Jr - where are you now that we need you?"

Sourced, Guardian columns
The Guardian, 23 October 2004, Dumb show.

There are other examples of left-wing bigotry; Ted Rall on MSNBC calling for violent revolution; Frances Fox Piven(of Cloward-Piven strategy infamy) calling for violence, Rahm Emanuel's infamous 'stabbing dead fish whilst calling out his 'enemies' names party(how Lord of the Flies is that?), and numerous others. Frankly, the past few days of watching the MSM have had all the charm of the media mob lynching of the Duke lacrosse players and Richard Jewel.

[Infidel despiser]

The democrats are really very sick people. Their party consists of sickos and looking at the pictures in this article, the people who are members of the democratic party are a bunch of losers and freaks.
I remember the outbursts against President Bush by this insane party, who should unite the country instead of splitting it wide open for the muslims to rake over.
My God, what has America come to and where will it end? How can these sick people point the finger at Sarah Palin when their party consists of freaks?
The writing is on the wall for America, for the destruction of America. I can see America imploding from the filth which has been allowed to grow like fungus without a cure.

It's too late I think :s give it time but I think the Tea Party has been successfully smeared. If Palin was already seriously damaged goods (she was) she without a doubt is close to destroyed now.

[Skipping Girl]

Keep up the good work Atlas Shrugs. Lefties are nuts wherever they are.
Check out Australia.

[seb]

Atlas: This is a fantastic post, an amazing editing job. News is breaking all the time, but its very important that this stay up as long as possible, because these photos have been seen almost nowhere else but a handful of sites such as yours. I have not seen even one of these disgusting pics in the 'maintstream' media. Perhaps at no time as now is the voice of reason and rationality needed. Since Saturday there has been nothing but a continuous stream of insanity on the airwaves, virtually all of it pointing to 'conservative' America as somehow, magically responsible for the horrific actions of a profoundly deranged lone individual. It is almost like we are living in some alternate universe, where the laws of logic simply don't apply. I just heard on NPR that Obama will have his 'Oklahoma City' moment when he makes an appearance at a memorial there in a few days. What the hell does that mean, exactly? As you pointed out here for us, it means that this tragedy will almost certainly be spun by him to call for Americans to stop the 'inflammatory rhetoric', ie, to stop free speech and free press, what little is left of it. Where was Obama when so many patriots were mercilessly murdered, in cold blood, as they were preparing to ship out to Iraq to defend this nation? What an ugly time we are living in. You are doing profoundly important work.

[Ron Morgen]

"In light of the Democrat party and the media (but I repeat myself)"

Yes, MSM= Democratic Party Press. This is why the American masses are being deceived. They are too self indulgent to take the time to seek out the truth so they lazily turn on the TV, watch the evening news, and think they have done their duty.

[Patti]

This is the first time I have ever seen these images. I must say, the behavior of the left really speaks for itself. Think I will use some of these images for my next AVI project,, got the perfect song in mind.

[Richard]

The Los Angeles Times is a lefty rag, but it's the local paper so I subscribe. I just read it with a jaundiced eye; their coupons still work at the grocery store. Yesterday's Times had a long and detailed article about the shooting in Tucson. They had to tie Loughner to the right somehow and the way the staff writers did it was weak, weak, weak. The article mentions that Loughner commented on government brainwashing through the use of grammar in his youtube presentations. I was thinking, "...brainwashing with grammar, wtf?".

Then there it was: "Some suggest that Loughner's remarks about grammar may have been inspired by the teachings of David Wynn Miller, a far-right activist in Milwaukee who has argued that the government uses grammar to control people".

Sort of a stretch, but I guess in the authors' minds, (it was a co-written article), they have now clearly established Loughner's ties to the right. I wish this town had a real newpaper, but then does any town any longer?

[aprilnovember811]

Pam,
You really didn't need to write anything. A picture is worth a thousand words. I'm going to forward this to John Boehner, Eric Cantor, Congressman West and others. I will also post on other places. I'm doing my daily battle duties.

[Shawna]

Great post, fighting fire with their own ugly truth. The guilty (the Left here) projects on others what they are guilty of, always anticipating and accusing the very things they are familiar with. Their accusations illuminate what is in their own black hearts. To say I'm disgusted doesn't begin to describe my disdain for these people. It's more like I feel less hopeful for the very bi-partisanship they profess to want. Accusing a whole movement, or innocent individuals to be accomplices in murder removes any room for respectful dialog in my mind. I think an apology needs to be issued to Ms. Palin and the Tea Party by any and all who even "eluded" to them being complicate in a murder. Until then, they can talk to my back.

[Cowardly_Prez]

And?

You found one article and skipped commenting on the TONS of lefty lunacy presented to you above, and that's just a small sample of the hatred coming from the left.

[Tex Taylor]

Thanks for the yeoman work Pamela. Somebody ought to pass this over to the Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik and ask him if words demonstrate prejudice and bigotry, what does property destruction, physical threat and anarchy demonstrate? War?

To try and gain political capital from tragic death, from an elected official mind you - an office that should have nothing to do with politics, is beyond wretched. It is evil indicating depravity, and Dupnik should be immediately removed from office and scorned by the community he currently serves.

[Frank]

Re: THE FACE OF HATE

Unfortunately, this is the face of human nature. Humans are part of nature and nature is conflict and war. Just go into any forest and watch the wars. Even the trees compete for space and sunlight. We are not above nature. However, it does appear that Gd has given humans a gift (the power to reason-to abstract) to see nature while other animals are just doing their thing in hunting and being hunted, in killing and being killed.

Humans are unique: we must answer the question Why? So we give "reasons" for behaving like the other animals. For example: Moe sees a caravan (remember that it took a large number of man hours of work to create the wealth that Gd ordered Moe to raid and steal at the beining of Moe's Prophet Career), and Gd tells Moe it's ok to raid and kill the caravan folks because they are polythiests, regular kufars. So Moe gets Gd's approval to be a moral lunatic and steal the product that came from the sweat of other's brows. Moe was typical of human nature.

(BTW-It is not unusual for people shout "death to those who disagree" in an angry-self-righteous Keith Ubernut style. This, too, is history-everywhere.)

All of history (everyplace on earth) is the story of some group of people invading and exterminatiing (or expelling) another group of people. The invaders then become the new "indigenous people." There is only one case (in all history) of an expelled people ever taking back their homeland: the Jewish people. (That's heavy.)

So, what is the answer? I think we might make it less of a priority for scientists to be looking for genes to raise our intelligence (when was the last time a retarded person started a war?) and cure diseases until we find the goodness genes that will enable us to stop dehumanizing other human beings. Otherwise, everything we have created (a direct gift from Gd) is in vain and we are probably going to have nuclear war on the planet Meshugana. Nature will prevail, or we will use that which is made "in the image and likeness of Gd" to see our nature.

We really don't have much choice-or much time left on this face of human nature.

[Medina]

I'm printing the entire thing out--in color--as a gift to my son's HS American History teacher. The man has a target with Sarah Palin's face in the center. He brags about his rabble-rousing (read: terrorist activities) at the 1968 Dem Convention in Chicago.

Pamela, you are a national treasure.

[Shawna]

BTW, isn't it interesting that President Bush never complained about the Left's right to "free speech"?

I have forwarded this link and Michelle Malkin's "Primer of Hate" link to everyone I can think of. It's important to remember.

[Shawna]

*complicit*, not "complicate". sowwy.

[Hainer]

They are a ragged bunch and probably not legally employed. Their appearance in clothes, and implied violence in their signs is an indication of their lack of ability to present their views. I do not remember this being reported or democratic leaders commenting on any of it.

The left seems to like the idea of violence and disease against not only their opponents but the children of their opponents. Yet the left claims to be the arbiters and police of moral standards.

[Heidi]

http://theview.abc.go.com/contact_us I have, you should too.,.. I have also sent Michelle Malkin's site.

[Dagny]

Thank you for this Pamela. What the left and its lapdog media are doing is PROJECTION!

[Garbo]

I have to ask, which one of these protesters are considered Democratic leadership? Protesters with nutty and violent signs are par for the course. Where are the constant sound bytes from Democratic congressman, Senators, Governors (current and former)using violent imagery?

The truth is that the violent and thuggish rhetoric, while it has always existed, is currently and constantly being spewed by one side of the aisle. Tone it down.

[Garbo]

I'm not saying it doesn't exist on the Left, just that the leadership on the right is reveling in this filth and uses it as an orchestrated "wink and nod" campaign tool.

[Frank]

You are right. It's mental disease. Maybe we'll find the cure someday with goodness gene therapy.

We have a war on everything else. Let's try a war on mental illness which is the human species #1 problem. John Lennon once said he was frightened by an "up-tight maniac with a peace symbol." He must have seen the future and Keith Ubernut-who should be the poster boy for the projection division. (He is one angry man ranting about "hate.")

[Cowardly_Prez]

You've got to be kidding me? You mean you don't pay attention to your own Mr Obama spewing his violent rhetoric against half of America, which he considers the enemy? Do I even have to go look for some of his quotes about his bringing a gun to a fight, punching people, et cetera?

[Cowardly_Prez]

p.s. The goons in the photos are getting their violent vitriol from somewhere. Could it be from the liberal media and their own leadership?

[DG in GA]

Unfortunately it would do absolutely no good to send it to Baba Wawa, since it directly negates her preferred narrative.

Pamela, great job assembling these photos all in one place. Just looking at it sickens me. But the only way to fight back against the left and their media sycophants is with the TRUTH!

[JVB]

There’s a slippery slope when it comes to political censorship - and you've taken the bait, Garbo... as both sides of the aisle incite military verbiage during political discourse. For example, the word 'campaign' is derived from military operations and today can be used in a variation of contexts. Having taken this into perspective… should society today not refer to political fund raising events as political campaigns? Of course, not… so quit exploiting the AZ tragedy to advance partisan agenda and censor political movements with which you disagree.

[18square]

You must live in a closet or under a rock.

The filth of Obama, Reid, Pelosi, and all the other democrap and RINO ilk is overwhelmingly obvious to anyone willing to see.

These people have no respect for the limitations placed on them by the US Constitution or for the Constitution, the people, and the country they have been elected to serve.

The problem lies in your unwillingness to understand the limited power of government as outlined in the Constitution.

The TEA party is but a conservative response to a party of whoremongers running rough shod over the people, the security of the United States, and the Constitution.

Learn of the Constitution or continue in liberal socialist democrap ignorance, perhaps stupidity is the word.

The choice is yours.

[Mad Hatter]

Pam,

This is one of your best postings ever. Thank you very much for this.

I am sending this link to everyone I know since the gutless, Alinsky media won't show these pictures to the American public.

[Jeff]

Both sides are guilty, both parties have plenty of dirt on them. You're invalid.

[Ivor]

Thank you Pamela for giving us this ammo to use against the other side. Keep up the outstanding work.

[Cate]

Great post, Pamela. I've copied the entire post, noted that everyone needs to come to Atlas Shrugs, and promptly sent it out to my email list. Who do these nutjobs think they are fooling??

And lest we forget, the mentally ill person who assassinated President McKinley was egged on by a big anarchist of the day, Emma Goldman. Her teachings were clearly responsible for the murder of an American president. Yet, she remains an icon to this day to those on the left for her teachings on anarchy.

57% of Americans haven't bought the left spin on this. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if this week will be seen as one of the final nails in the left's coffin. They way overstepped and they will pay for it in political capital.

[Radegunda]

Okay, big boy, show us the conservative or Tea Party signs that are comparable to the ones pictured above. And the links to prominent conservatives in the media or politics who have openly called for violence against Democrats or wished death upon them, or called for violent revolution or "unruly mobs" (a la Frances Fox Pivens), in the way that leftists have demonstrably done against conservatives.

Until you can do that, you are "invalid" [sic].

[Radegunda]

Yes, there's hatred in "human nature." But the most hateful people tend to find their natural home in left-wing politics, which certainly condones the open expression of hatred and violence in a way that conservatism does not.

Exhibit A: Thousands of Tea Party rallies around the country, resulting in no property destruction, no litter, no violence except what was done by leftists against Tea Partiers (with the one minor exception of someone who overreacted to a leftist who approached a candidate in a threatening manner, but the overreacting individual was immediately reprimanded by others). The Dems had such a difficult time finding the hateful signs they alleged, that they had to plant their own!

Then, contrast the signage, the tone, the aftermath of virtually any leftist/Democrat rally.

[Radegunda]

Yes, it's currently being spewed from the left. Do you never listen to Olbermann or Malloy? Or Obama?

Obama: "It's going to be hand-to-hand combat on Capitol Hill"; "punish our enemies"; "I'm itching for a fight"; "I don't want to quell the anger. I'm angry!" "They bring a knife, we bring a gun." "Hit back twice as hard."

When has a Republican president or other politician spoken in such terms?

And where are the conservative signs that are in any way comparable to those leftist signs? Your side couldn't find them.

[herbert stamper]

I am downloading these pictures to send to sheriff loonDupnik,the jerk in Arizona. I have sent him several emails telling him to try to be at least part of a man,and an inch American,and admit he is a dummy.

[Radegunda]

Please explain what "filth" the leadership on the right is "reveling in." And illustrate how they are doing so.

Democrats have resorted to talk of "code words" because they can't find the hatred and racism on the right that they insist are there. They call "tax cuts" a code for racism. They say that opposing Pelosi's sleazy legislative tactics and flagrant dishonesty is "racist."

Pathetic.

[Laura L]

Those guys with the Sarah Palin shirts appear emasculated.

[pythagoras]

This is truly an eye-opener. And there's plenty more that COULD have been posted here but wasn't. For instance, Al Sharpton once donated ten thousand dollars to a jihadist Muslim who offered to exterminate caucasians in America. There's that Black Panther guy who publicly called for "killing cracker babies." Them there's the career of Frances Pox Pivot (or whatever the he** her name is). Ad nauseum.

What is so unbelievably galling (besides the ASTOUNDING magnitude of amnesia and hypocrisy on display by the Marxist movers and shakers) is that these people can not see that using suffering victims of a homicide for political gain is loathesome behavior is guaranteed to make them lifelong enemies. Who wants anything to do with people that use murder victims as a media event and photo op???????
Who wants to see them on TV either? (No one).

If enough fed up Americans see this post, no one may well ever cast a vote for a liberal Democrat (or republican, a few RINOs are almsot as bad)ever again. And no one should care either.

ps: the Tucson killer would have been a political adversary of the Tea Party people and NOT a follower of it!

[Telly]

I agree. We should get out of the left/right paradigm, especially in the context of US politics.

One reason is when people say left-wing I expect they mean basically the lunatic fringe. But when some says right I think they mean basically average for middle-aged middle-class people form middle America. The difference is in the balance of individualism to statism moving toward totalitarianism. For some reason the individualists are now called right-wing.　People leaning toward the right are called conservative regardless of morality, religion or whatever. People who lean toward the left are called liberals (which they obviously are not.)

The only real rightwing in the US, other than Islamists, who found a home on the left (until they blow it up), are the Christian right. But they are right-wing because they want to control sexual morality and public decency. The left want to control everything (including the mojo).

In the country I have lived in for the past 15 years, the right-wing are monarchists who want to restore the empire. They are racially exclusive “ultra-nationalists”. The left-wing are communists who want to destroy the history and culture of this country. Their plan to do this is by surrendering sovereignty to China and hoping for an other cultural revolution.

I suggest replacing the paradigm with a scale that measures the degree of personal freedom.

[The bad news for the Marxists and fellow travelers is every communist country in history attempted to regulate sex, and executed people for drugs. I seems like the utopia is not going to be what certain people had in mind.(HA!)]

[Terry G]

You should check out anarcho capitalism, you might like it or if not there's always libertarianism.

[Tina]

Waiting for this to get shown on "The View" but I won't hold my breath. This bunch is like the snake that chews it's tail until it cuts off it's own head! They are going to end up at the bottom rung of a political climate they are helping to create because now young people are seeing this. IF Fox would put this out--they would have to drastically change up their crap! Without any votes from the middle, they can't win squat in 2012 and they are digging a hole! LET 'EM DIG! The further they bury themselves, the better off this country is.

[Rob]

As America goes bankrupt and falls into 4th place behind China, EU, and India, right wing hatred will only intensify. I foresee the TEA party coming to power and converting the US into a conservative dystopia. The creation of such a state will almost certainly lead us to war.

[S.B.]

These signs are absolutely vulgar! I actually skipped over the latter half of them bc I found them to be so offensive. Please don't think that this is how liberals are. This post is somewhat of a cheap shot at the left. One could easily find a post like this showing images of signs held by tea-partiers that portray them as racist/hillbilly etc. In fact, earlier in the comment thread:

"Mike in San Diego said...
If I saw any of those signs/shirts on the street I would knock the person holding/wearing it the f**k OUT!

Then i would take the charge with a smile."

Each side has it's lunatics. The signs in this post aren't an accurate portrayal of "the libs".

That being said, I wish more liberals would stand up and have the courage to ignore the PC surrounding Islam (and the other Abrahamic religions). The secularism in the United States is one of its finer points.

I don't identify as either a liberal or conservative, but I feel that this post was somewhat of a cheap shot (as I mentioned earlier).

[wb]

And the Left's tacticology of demonizing (and seeking to criminalize) conservatives and their views, pushing for gun confiscation, etc., is straight out of the Nazi playbook as evidenced in 1933 after the Reichstag fire, upon which Hitler prevailed upon German President Hindenburg to enact "emergency" powers suspending civil liberties (in the name of cracking down on the Communist Party of Germany, whom he accused of fomenting a "putsch" against the government) and further consolidating the Nazis' power.

If, as you say, one can easily find a post showing images of tea partiers... then by all means find one and share it with us. I will be waiting with bated breath.

Oh and BTW... I did not see any signs that could be considered to exhorting people to violence.

[Alexander Münch]

Very powerful presentation, Pam ! My favorite photo in the gallery is this one :- http://goo.gl/yDzKc

"The Face of Hate" you are showing to your readers, isn't new to them ! Most of them have seen "Worse" Photos, Signs, Ads, Pamphlets, etc !
The "Shows" are designed by the "Lefto-Muzoids" ( Funded by Muzoids ! ), to be seen on the various Medias ( including your Blog and mine... ), and to be transmited by the Muslim Media to their viewers from which 80% are "Pure Fanatic Muzoids" !

The "Trick" in this 'Gimmick is the fact, that 100% of the "Pure Fanatic Muzoids", see what comes out from Al-Jazira, ( and the other Muslim Media ), as Allah's own words ! The famous Arab slogan :- " Dawllah Maana", ( The State is with us ! ), is the main "Job" for the "Lefto-Zomboids" to provide ! They are props in the show ! They are nothing but statists and stunts ! " When the time comes"... they will be the firs to loose their heads !

Sine the whole show is designed to change minds and gain ( Democratically ! ) political power, consider this :-
If. I repeat IF!... only a fraction of those "Pure Fanatic Muzoids", ( let's say - 1% of 1% !... ) are influenced by this propaganda, then you have :-

1.5 Billion Muslims ! x 0.8 x 0.01 x 0.01 = 1,200,000 Shahids ! = 86,400,000 VIRGINS !...

This is a WMD ! AND THE WEST HAS NO ANSWER TO IT !

( So far!...)

The truth hurts, Michael, how would you know.?

It always comes down to the same question, are you really so delusional, or are you pretending?

When you look at these sets of photos, do really think they are comparable?

[pythagoras]

memo to Rob:

The United Statea has been a 'conservative' nation since its birth, which is actual its historical source of stength. The Tea Party movement's primary objective is to ensure that the federal government will continue to operate within the parameters set by our constitution. Call that a 'dystopia' if you will. But so what? More people have chosen to move to this "conservative dystopia" as you call it than anywhere else ont he globe. There is an upside to conservatism that if you gave it a chance you might be able to see (alopng with the hundreds of milions who chose to live here and the many who still prefer to live here in spite of the progressive movememtn and all its machinations).

It was conservative principles that enabled it to become a superpower. It has been progreweeivem infiltration in the highest echelons of power that have been weighing it down. For instance, the Department of education hwas established in 1879, and SAT scores have plummeted, literacy rates have fallen, public prim ary schopols are a disaster, and the drop out rates have never been higher.

China, the EU, and India have all embraced free market princples and are moving UP. The further left we go,t he worse things will get.

Get a life, pal.

[Bill]

That's some angry signs, for sure.

You do know that the sign that says "Hang Bush for War Crimes" has real war crimes attached to the sentiment, don't you?

Bush killed between 100,000 and 500,000 innocent Iraqi men, women, children and infants in a war that was entirely avoidable, according to the evidence that the Bush administration possessed when it ordered the invasion and rape of Iraq.

An estimated 1/3 if Iraq's population of 30 million became refugees. Sectarian slaughter exploded and still rages due to the loss of civil order.

How do those signs and angry words relate to this? -

– July 2008: A gunman named Jim David Adkisson, agitated at how “liberals” are “destroying America,” walks into a Unitarian Church and opens fire, killing two churchgoers and wounding four others.
– October 2008: Two neo-Nazis are arrested in Tennessee in a plot to murder dozens of African-Americans, culminating in the assassination of President Obama.
– December 2008: A pair of “Patriot” movement radicals — the father-son team of Bruce and Joshua Turnidge, who wanted “to attack the political infrastructure” — threaten a bank in Woodburn, Oregon, with a bomb in the hopes of extorting money that would end their financial difficulties, for which they blamed the government. Instead, the bomb goes off and kills two police officers. The men eventually are convicted and sentenced to death for the crime.
– December 2008: In Belfast, Maine, police discover the makings of a nuclear “dirty bomb” in the basement of a white supremacist shot dead by his wife. The man, who was independently wealthy, reportedly was agitated about the election of President Obama and was crafting a plan to set off the bomb.
– January 2009: A white supremacist named Keith Luke embarks on a killing rampage in Brockton, Mass., raping and wounding a black woman and killing her sister, then killing a homeless man before being captured by police as he is en route to a Jewish community center.
– February 2009: A Marine named Kody Brittingham is arrested and charged with plotting to assassinate President Obama. Brittingham also collected white-supremacist material.
– April 2009: A white supremacist named Richard Poplawski opens fire on three Pittsburgh police officers who come to his house on a domestic-violence call and kills all three, because he believed President Obama intended to take away the guns of white citizens like himself. Poplawski is currently awaiting trial.
– April 2009: Another gunman in Okaloosa County, Florida, similarly fearful of Obama’s purported gun-grabbing plans, kills two deputies when they come to arrest him in a domestic-violence matter, then is killed himself in a shootout with police.
– May 2009: A “sovereign citizen” named Scott Roeder walks into a church in Wichita, Kansas, and assassinates abortion provider Dr. George Tiller.
– June 2009: A Holocaust denier and right-wing tax protester named James Von Brunn opens fire at the Holocaust Museum, killing a security guard.
– February 2010: An angry tax protester named Joseph Ray Stack flies an airplane into the building housing IRS offices in Austin, Texas. (Media are reluctant to label this one “domestic terrorism” too.)
– March 2010: Seven militiamen from the Hutaree Militia in Michigan and Ohio are arrested and charged with plotting to assassinate local police officers with the intent of sparking a new civil war.
– March 2010: An anti-government extremist named John Patrick Bedell walks into the Pentagon and opens fire, wounding two officers before he is himself shot dead.
– May 2010: A “sovereign citizen” from Georgia is arrested in Tennessee and charged with plotting the violent takeover of a local county courthouse.
– May 2010: A still-unidentified white man walks into a Jacksonville, Fla., mosque and sets it afire, simultaneously setting off a pipe bomb.
– May 2010: Two “sovereign citizens” named Jerry and Joe Kane gun down two police officers who pull them over for a traffic violation, and then wound two more officers in a shootout in which both of them are eventually killed.
– July 2010: An agitated right-winger and convict named Byron Williams loads up on weapons and drives to the Bay Area intent on attacking the offices of the Tides Foundation and the ACLU, but is intercepted by state patrolmen and engages them in a shootout and armed standoff in which two officers and Williams are wounded.
– September 2010: A Concord, N.C., man is arrested and charged with plotting to blow up a North Carolina abortion clinic. The man, 26-year–old Justin Carl Moose, referred to himself as the “Christian counterpart to (Osama) bin Laden” in a taped undercover meeting with a federal informant.

[scart]

Cute. You've shown pics, artwork & graphical banners that "jokingly" refer to violence. The right wing Govt of America, led by George Bush, have ADMITTED to the slaughter of 66,000 innocent human beings which means the figure would be over 100, 000. Right Wing Racists HAVE ACTUALLY killed thousands of blacks people in America. When right wingers have run America they have invaded more countries than any other country in the first world.

That's in the real world, not in a juvenile collection of photos trawled off Google.

You write like a child & I can only assume that is due to the fact that real life doesn't affect your safe little first world where your worst boogeyman is a exasperated lefty with a naughty placard. I'd say grow-up but obviously mummy & daddy have given you the kind of life where you'll never have to.

[Nat's daughter]

Yet another koolaid drinker. Scart, go take your sorry ass back to your liberal/fascist/nazi site's where you can continue to receive support and hugs from fellow deranged nutjobs. We at Atlas are too intelligent to spend much time replying to braindead trolls like you. You will NEVER get it as your delusions are too fixed. Have a super duper kumbaya day.

[pythagoras]

Islam has a teaching called "taqiyya" by which it is unlawful for Muslims to tell the truth to non-Muslims about anything. Thus as far as allegations of "war crimes" attributed to former President Bush are concerned, if they were reported by Muslims they are generally suspect--too many Muslims are apt to prevaricate under these circumstances.

And anyway, whatever did happen in the Iraq war they do NOT excuse the obscene and often vicious conduct displayed by progressive/leftist/nuts on American soil. By the way:Why should anyone feel sorry for the Middle East Muslims anyway? It rather serves them considering their unending invasions of so many parts of the world under the banner of Islamic holy war. Only 300 million non-Muslims have been murdered by Islam todate, only eight civilizations have been destroyed by islam (so far); only 56 nations are completely enslaved to Islam against their will. Only 17,00 deadly Islamic terror attacks since 9-11-2001....

[TC72]

What a bunch off crackpots.

[bostonbluehills@aol.com]

Sure there are violent extremists on both sides, but what you fail to notice is that none of the above violence was done by political
candidates or office-holders! What is really causing the stir is that people who want to hold public office are advocating violence,
and that is what is getting the reaction.

[WilfordTerris]

Mommy! Johnny did it too, so it must be okay!

[WilfordTerris]

p.s. Where's the evidence that all of those featured in the images are "leftists," or whatever
small category you've developed in your mind (imprinted directly onto your neurons through
right-wing propeganda, no thought or digestion required)?

[WilfordTerris]

p.p.s. Let's just keep on fomenting the violence, people. Where's responsibility? Every image
you show could prompt new rounds of hate - in my book, that makes you partly responsible.
Oh, wait - if it's on the Internet, laws and social standards of behavior don't apply! my bad...
