LET THE LYNCHINGS BEGIN!

REPUBLICAN ATTACKS BEAR STRANGE FRUIT, AS INTENDED

ANTI-AMERICAN "CONSERVATIVES" MURDER INNOCENT CENSUS WORKER

YOUTUBE: FOX NEWS
"Bachmann Rails Against Census On Beck"
Great minds stink alike.


Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin, Michael Savage Win Another Round, Kill Another American

First they objected to a liberal female Presidential candidate. Then they freaked out over an African-American President. Next they targeted an African-American energy expert with the Federal Government. Now they have executed a man for helping with the dreaded "Big Gummint" census, and carved the word "FED" in his chest.

Is it time to round up the leaders of this "movement" yet? They have killed abortion doctors and guards in the Holocaust museum. They have shown up at town hall meetings with assault weapons. The have conspired to kill Federal judges. They have threatened to kill the President of the United States of America. They have declared a "Christian" jihad against Muslims, gays, blacks, women, liberals, etc. Should we wait until the day after Kristallnacht, or maybe sometime after the next Holocaust?

How long would it take those same "Feds" to come down on those of us in the true center of American politics, the democratic Left, if we organized to fight these people? Can we expect the Go-Along-To-Get-Along White House to act any differently, or to stand up to the Nazi's themselves? So, what is going to happen?

Don't expect the cavalry any time soon. In fact, they're riddled with Nazi's themselves, literally. The rank and file are fertile grounds for hate groups. There have been mutinous stirrings ever since Obama was elected, all the way up to the highest echelons. They're not happy with the idea of a black Commander-In-Chief, even a barely liberal one, and they do NOT want their wars against non-Christians to end, ever. And a lot of their victims, er, veterans are coming home hurt, disillusioned, mentally ill and pissed off. Only the Right is offering them any answers: Kill, kill, kill.

"Hanged Census worker had ‘fed’ on chest"
Bowie knife?
' A U.S. Census worker found hanged from a tree near a Kentucky cemetery had the word “fed” scrawled on his chest, a law enforcement official said Wednesday, and the FBI is investigating whether he was a victim of anti-government sentiment. Bill Sparkman, a 51-year-old part-time Census field worker and teacher, was found Sept. 12 in a remote patch of the Daniel Boone National Forest in rural southeast Kentucky. The law enforcement official, who was not authorized to discuss the case and requested anonymity, did not say what type of instrument was used to write “fed” on his chest. Sparkman’s mother, Henrie Sparkman of Inverness, Fla., told The Associated Press her son was an Eagle scout who moved to the area to be a local director for the Boy Scouts of America. She said he later became a substitute teacher in Laurel County and supplemented that income as a Census worker. She said investigators have given her few details about her son’s death — they told her the body was decomposed — and haven’t yet released his body for burial. “I was told it would be better for him to be cremated,” she said. Gilbert Acciardo, a retired Kentucky state trooper who directs an after-school program at the elementary school where Sparkman was a frequent substitute teacher, said he had warned Sparkman to be careful when he did his Census work. “Even though he was with the Census Bureau, sometimes people can view someone with any government agency as ‘the government.’ I just was afraid that he might meet the wrong character along the way up there,” Acciardo said. “He was such an innocent person,” Acciardo said. “I hate to say that he was naive, but he saw the world as all good, and there’s a lot of bad in the world.” A private group called PEER, Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility, tracks violence against employees who enforce environmental regulations, but the group’s executive director, Jeff Ruch, said it’s hard to know about all of the cases because some agencies don’t share data on instances of violence against employees. From 1996 to 2006, according to the group’s most recent data, violent incidents against federal Bureau of Land Management and Forest Service workers soared from 55 to 290. “Even as illustrated in town hall meetings today, there is a distinct hostility in a large segment of the population toward people who work for their government,” Ruch said.

YAHOO NEWS
"America armed, but guns not necessarily loaded"
The "Obama Effect"? How's the supply of black targets?
' Bullet-makers are working around the clock, seven days a week, and still can't keep up with the nation's demand for ammunition. Shooting ranges, gun dealers and bullet manufacturers say they have never seen such shortages. Bullets, especially for handguns, have been scarce for months because gun enthusiasts are stocking up on ammo, in part because they fear President Barack Obama and the Democratic-controlled Congress will pass antigun legislation — even though nothing specific has been proposed and the president last month signed a law allowing people to carry loaded guns in national parks. "We are working overtime and still can't keep up with the demand," said Al Russo, spokesman for North Carolina-based Remington Arms Company, which makes bullets for rifles, handguns and shotguns. "We've had to add a fourth shift and go 24-7. It's a phenomenon that I have not seen before in my 30 years in the business." Americans usually buy about 7 billion rounds of ammunition a year, according to the National Rifle Association. In the past year, that figure has jumped to about 9 billion rounds, said NRA spokeswoman Vickie Cieplak. Jason Gregory, who manages Gretna Gun Works just outside of New Orleans, has been building his personal supply of ammunition for months. His goal is to have at least 1,000 rounds for each of his 25 weapons. "I call it the Obama effect," said Gregory, 37, of Terrytown, La. "It always happens when the Democrats get in office. It happened with Clinton and Obama is even stronger for gun control. Ammunition will be the first step, so I'm stocking up while I can." With demand, prices have also risen. "Used to be gold, but now lead is the most expensive metal," said Donald Richards, 37, who was stocking up at the Jefferson store. "And worth every penny." '

THE CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR
"Civil rights group warns of neo-Nazis in the US military"
Guess we know which way the Army's prejudices run, eh?
' The appearance of 40 active-duty US soldiers on a social networking site known as the "fascist Facebook" appears to add credibility to a controversial government report released in April about extremism in the military. Presented to congressional committees Friday, the revelations by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) – covered in depth by the military-oriented newspaper, Stars and Stripes – also raises new questions about how serious the Army is about rooting out rank-and-file neo-Nazis – and their potential impact on morale and military discipline. In contrast to the 12,500 gay service members discharged in the last 15 years because of potential impact on unit morale, SPLC spokeswoman Heidi Beirich says: "There are many people in the military using new technology to put up racist profiles, racist music and ... books that they love that are racist, and as the regulations stand today that's not grounds for being tossed out of the military." The SPLC, a civil rights organization based in Montgomery, Ala., delivered its report to the House and Senate Armed Services and Homeland Security Committees today. The organization says it found 40 profiles on NewSaxon.org, a white supremacist site, that could be confirmed as active-duty military members. "I love and will do anything to keep our master race marching," writes "WhitePride85," who claims on the site to be a 24-year-old staff sergeant from Madison, Wis. Army policy states that commanders can take disciplinary actions, including reclassification of soldiers who are active white supremacists. They cannot, however, dismiss them. The heaviest penalty a commander could impose is to bar reenlistment. The new report comes amid growing concerns about returning soldiers, especially those disaffected by the war and combat, being recruited by white supremacist organizations. Such groups hope to utilize their combat skills in "a coming race war," says former marine TJ Leyden, an ex-white supremacist and author of "Skinhead Confessions." But unit cohesion and morale – the mainstays of an effective Army – are also at stake if the Army allows skinheads to stay in the service, critics say. (The racial makeup of the Army is 62.7 percent white, 19.8 percent black, 10.9 percent Hispanic, and 3.4 percent Asian.) '

Don't even get me started on this. There are people out there asking everyone NOT to jump to conclusions, which is a good idea. But given the facts about what has been going on with these whacko right winged whack-offs, one can only jump to the most obvious conclusions here, and how I wish from the deepest reaches of my soul, that this was not what has really happened. God help us all for there is going to be a Civil War in this country.

They carved "FED" into a Census-takers' chest and lynched him. What more do they have to do to prove that we are already at war with neo-Nazi's? March into Poland?

The Civil War never ended. We won the battles, but we lost the peace. Reconstruction created the Klan, and destroyed all hope of racial harmony and social justice. The descendants of those Confederate leaders and their inbred, half-wit followers ARE the Republican Party today.

Unfortunately, the majority American milquetoast "Left," barely even Centrists in world political reality, will never fight for their beliefs. So the violent minority Right will always win, always dominate, and continue with these heinous crimes.

Sanity is evidently not a survival characteristic. The human race will most likely render itself extinct as violent irrational "leaders" and "spokesmen" finally goad their sick twisted followers into wiping out all reason and all rational people. Then they can all leap into the Abyss together.

Unless we man up and stop them. Anyone willing to fight?

I am ready and willing to fight, even thought every now and then I get the urge to just pick myself up and find myself a nice little town somewhere in Northern Spain or Southern Italy where nobody gives a shit what the hell you think or feel as long as there is good food to eat and wine to drink. Care to join me there?

Sounds great! What time is dinner?

They do have their own Fascists and terrorists, though. I don't think there is any escape from the battle against unreason. The only question is, will reasonable people fight, or allow the irrational minority to win unopposed?

The thing is, we always win, but we always have to fight again because we never finish the job. They have to be wiped out, eradicated, banned, erased, removed completely from human history and the entire genome, and ruthlessly prevented from ever springing up again. Tolerating them only encourages their madness. Giving them rights only leads to them taking ours away. Attempting to nurture or educate them only causes the Right to fester and spread its' contagion.

For a long time, this crazed minority has been in the service of rational but evil rich and powerful interests that would remake the entire world for their own benefit, and to the detriment of all of us. If we don't cement the gains of the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, the Revolutions and the modern era, all will be subsumed by feudal corporate Fascism. The nuts are their storm-troopers. The are a violent minority who must be dealt with swiftly and decisively, brutally if necessary, or they will bully their way into power again and destroy our democracy on behalf of the corporations. We don't have a lot of time before they complete their mission. After that, we will have a much more difficult time of bringing them down, and nothing will ever be the same. The time to fight is now.

Well, we could start with tapas, anyway...

AH TAPAS! For that you need to go further south in Spain.

You mention the Enlightenment and the Renaissance, which happen to have happened in Europe. I don't really know if we,as a country, have ever reached the heights that were reach during these times when men's spirits and creativities burst forth. Even then there were forces that fought these changes.

I suppose that the closest that we have ever come to an Enlightenment, but not a Renaissance is when we dreamed of the outer reaches of space, which we all know was a dream put forth by John Kennedy. We have had our successes in the realm of art and music but we are also still a very young country compared to most of the world.

I feel your frustrations and I know that we must beware this time around, but we must also fight to keep the light going as well. I have no answers. Just more questions.

Yeah. Never been there, but I'd like to see southern Spain & northern Italy, too.

I think that we did have an Enlightenment & a Renaissance in America, and the Revolution is ongoing. Jefferson & Hamilton, Madison & Adams, Thoreau & Emerson, all were children of the Enlightenment and brought those ideas into the average person's life. The Progressive Era was another kind of Enlightenment, as were the Civil Rights, Ban-The-Bomb, Anti-War, Women's Lib & Gay Rights movements of the 1950's-80's.

We have had several mini-Renaissances: Hawthorne & Melville, Poe & Whitman, Crane & Twain, Dickenson & Cooper in the XIX Century, and a series of wildly creative explosions that rocked the world, from Frank Lloyd Wright to Charles Ives, F. Scott Fitzgerald to Jack Kerouac, T.S. Eliot to Allen Ginsburg, Georgia O'Keeffe to Alexander Calder, Martha Graham to Fred Astaire, Charlie Parker to Jimi Hendrix, Marilyn Monroe to John Huston, Tina Fe to Matt Groening, and on and on. We liberals & progressives have truly built a great culture and a great country here, and we mean to go on doing so, and protecting it.

As to revolutions, ours was incomplete, and it is ongoing. Our little baby country brought the first great light of freedom into the world with it, and we on the Left still carry that light, to every corner of the world.

No matter how bad things get, we have to remember that, and continue to carry that light until it reaches everyone on this beautiful planet, and beyond. That is our destiny. Compared to that calling, "conservatism" is just a nasty bump in a long and winding road.

The mere fact that tapas exist even in the suburbs of NYC is proof positive that we are winning! Salud! Venceremos!! Viva Gorditas!!!

Touche my friend. You are correct. These people did indeed bring much to the table that has created the fabric of this country and that is the beauty that is my America, unfortunately not all Americans see it this way.

OH... and I have to add Seth MacFarlane to that list. The man is brilliant.... and you have to see southern Spain, it is magnificent... and there really isn't any good tapas in NY. You need to go to Madrid for that.

I always enjoy my discussions with you.

Yeah. There are a few idiots out there. But they're just a very loud corporate media-promoted minority.

It is a demonstrable fact that 80% of the population are on our side; the American majority are not crazed right-wing freaks and morons. The real issue here is who controls our polity and our media in this democracy, and it ain't us. It's a few gigantic, soulless multinational corporations with an anti-democratic, unAmerican and inhumane agenda centered entirely on acquiring wealth and power for their own sakes, with absolutely no regard for the rights and the welfare of the vast majority of us who oppose them. The 24/7/52 reality-distortion field generated by corporate media propaganda would have us believe that most of us are closer to being Klansmen than European Socialists, but the reverse is true, and that is a great threat to their control over our world. They have to be rooted out and ripped up like the pernicious weeds they are, along with all their insectoid hangers-on.

It's obvious that we can't use their own media against them. But we can tune them out. And we must protect the only outlets still open to us, primarily here on the Internet. But that means nothing without personal contact and concrete action in the real world.

After years of self-congratulatory "Net-Roots" fulminations, we have yet to see a real organization, a real mass movement, or one single effective elected official we can claim as our own. We have completed step one in taking back our country, but I don't see anyone taking step two yet. That would mean actually getting out there and doing something, reestablishing and re-taking the old community structures that built this country in the first place: Local political Party organizations, Town, City and County meetings, unions, churches, social clubs and comunity service groups, grass-roots organizations; all that tacky middle-American stuff that the kewl, isolated, atomized, alienated, average American just doesn't have time for, because he or she is too busy drinking, getting high, watching TV, playing sports or surfing the Internet.

Outside of work, which consumes WAY more than 40 hours per week for most people (thank you Republicans), people are spending up to another forty hours per week on the leisure activities listed above, but zero time on any political action. We've just basically left the idiots in charge of the store, while we party on. And we wonder why the store ain't doin' too well? And it isn't just a store, it's the whole country. The fault, Horatios, is in ourselves, not in our media superstars and political sock-puppets.

Yeah, Seth is kewl, too. Looking forward to his new show. With my 40 hours of wasted time. I multi-waste, though, surfing the 'Net as I groove with the tube and drink beer.

I doubt I'll ever escape from Hawaii. If I did, I'd like to go back to Dublin, and Paris. Lots of places in Europe I'd like to see while I can still walk.

As to NY tapas, I know it could never be as good as the real thing, the whole experience in Spain, but there used to be a couple of decent Spanish restaurants on W.14th St. And then there's the Ironbound, in Newark. Portuguese, not Spanish, but similar to N. Spain, I'm told. And Cuban in Union City, Cuban-Chinese on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Mmm, paella. They don't have that here, despite all the Portuguese & Puerto Ricans, and the love of fish & rice. Another reason to move on, some day. Better food.

Always a pleasure typing with you, WP. Keep hope alive, in a jar or something.

This incident just verifies something that I have been learning more and more over the last few months: that people will always find a way to separate themselves from other, to justify exclusion and all forms of violence (from ransacking to murder to war). It shows again and again in history, when the world justified slavery (the act of owning another human being), when people justified the crusades. But the thing that sets this apart from those other hate crimes (I don't know what else to call them) is that at the time they didn't sound ridiculous to the people around. This isn't about religion, or race, it's about a job, that this man had so that he could feed his family and himself. The amazing thing is that it's even baser than that; the cause of this killing was fear, irrational, radical fear of shadows.
I would also like to ask a question; to everyone and anyone who thinks they have an INTELLEGENT answer. My question is: Do you think that media that reports and approves of hate crimes, and anti-government movements actually know their full effect on people? Do they know that people watch their shows then start repeating exactly what they heard?
But I suppose the answer to that is obvious... it's "yes they do." because they are the ones who report on the people that take their hateful ideas to the streets in the form of "protests". They report, the people hear, the people act, they report... that's their cycle, but it has to stop when the acting is murder. There is NO excuse for killing.
Thanks for posting and sharing!
