With FOBs* Who Need Enemies?

Northwestern University Professor and veteran 60s protestor Bernardine Dohrn supported Obama’s presidency, however, her vocal support may not be something that he wants right now especially after last Tuesday’s “shellacking.” But unfortunately for the President, she just won’t go away. A video was released last week of Dohrn giving an interview with NewsClick India. In the short two and a half minute segment, she is seen degrading US society, especially the political and social right-wing. She begins by saying US politics is becoming more polarized with a new hard right emerging. Wait – she corrects that statement and adds, “an armed hard right emerging.” Photos of Tea Party Ralliers armed with second amendment signs appear on the screen while the interviewer nods with sympathy and says, “it must have been hard for you.” She believes the political move to the Right in the last election stems from the Right’s “massive control of the media.”

“she is seen degrading US society, especially the political and social right-wing.”

I believe Accuracy in Academia writer Winkler meant “denigrating” instead of degrading. Degrade is an act, denigrate is expressing an opinion (although one could argue that Ms Dohrn herself degrades the country with her presence, I suppose). Just think the academicians should be more educated.

MSNBC’s Dylan Ratigan, Ted Rall call for violent revolution?Share83posted at 9:30 am on November 9, 2010 by Ed Morrissey

Christian fundamentalists, the millennial end-of-theworlders obsessed with the Left Behind series about the End Times, neo-Nazi racists, rural black-helicopter Michigan Militia types cut from the same inbred cloth as Timothy McVeigh, allied with “mainstream” gun nuts and right-wing Republicans, have been planning, preparing, and praying for the destruction of the “Godless,” “secular” United States for decades. In the past, they formed groups like the John Birch Society and the Aryan Nations. Now the hard Right has a postmodern, decentralized non-organization organization called the Tea Party.

Right-wing organizational names change, but they amount to the same thing: the reactionary sociopolitical force—the sole force—poised to fill the vacuum when collapse occurs. The scenario outlined by Margaret Atwood’s prescient novel The Handmaid’s Tale—rednecks in the trenches, hard military men running things, minorities and liberals taken away and massacred, setting the stage for an even more extreme form of laissez-faire corporate capitalism than we’re suffering under today—is a fair guess of how a post-U.S. scenario will play out unless we prepare to turn it in another direction…

A war is coming. At stake: our lives, the planet, freedom, living. The government, the corporations, and the extreme right are prepared to coalesce into an Axis of Evil. Are you going to fight back? Will you do whatever it takes, including taking up arms?
