Shooting Rummy: The Desperation of the Liberals

Chron Watch ^ | 14 April 2004 | Doc Farmer

                                                                  ~~o~~

       We all get hot under the collar sometimes.  We all lose our tempers.  We say things we regret.  Then we wish we hadn’t said it and could take back.

       But sometimes, people say things, and write things, knowing full well they are wrong.  They threaten.  They menace.  They terrorize.  And they do so for something as stupid and petty as politics.

       An ad in the St. Petersburg, Florida, weekly reader ''The Gabber'' (gotta love the title of that, don’tcha?) ran an ad requested and tailored by the Saint Petersburg Democratic Club.  The ad reads as follows (the highlights below is mine):

 
       Senator Edward Kennedy is absolutely right when he called Iraq ''Bush’s Vietnam.''  But it’s not only Bush, it’s his whole damn Bunch – Cheney, Powell, Rumsfeld, Rice, Rove, and Ridge.

       They’ve tried to blame the Iraq war on bad intelligence, on Al Qaida, on terrorists, on foreigners from Iran and Syria.  Bush doesn’t even know who in the hell we’re fighting.  The Bush Bunch calls the Iraqis insurgents.  Did you know that Britain called the American revolutionaries insurgents and traitors?  The Iraqis aren’t insurgents.  They’re Iraqi patriates [sic] who want us the hell out of their country, and we should get the hell out of their country now!

       We have Marines and soldiers being killed by the dozens with many more wounded.  How many have to be killed before the Bush Bunch is satisfied?  How many burial services of our Iraq dead has Bush attended?  Any?  How many military hospitals has Bush visited to talk to our wounded who have lost arms, or legs, or they eye sight (sic), or combinations of these – how many?

       And then there’s Rumsfeld who said of Iraq ''We have our good days and our bad days.''  We should put this S.O.B. up against a wall and say ''This is one of our bad days,'' and pull the trigger.  Do you want to salvage our country?  Be a savior of our country?  Then vote for John Kerry and get rid of the whole Bush Bunch!

       Please make a donation of ANY amount of money you can afford and send it to John Kerry for President, Inc. 901 15th Street, N.W., Suite 700, Washington, D.C. 20005.  Do it NOW.  Thank you.

       For Club Information:
       343-7921 Ken, President
       525-1596 Edna, Vice President

 
       Now, I’m pretty sure that line above about taking Rummy and shooting him has got to be illegal.  It is certainly uncalled for in civil discourse.  And yet, Ken Steinke and Edna McCall of the St. Pete DEMS believe that their idea of open political debate is to assassinate the Secretary of Defense.  Which is exactly what they are doing.  Apparently with the blessing of the John Kerry campaign, according to the St. Pete DEMS’ veep. 

       Now, imagine if you will (and I’m making a hypothetical case here, folks, not an actual threat) that I said ''we should take John Kerry and shoot him'' or ''take John Kerry’s Defense Secretary (Hanoi Jane, perhaps?) and shoot her.''  Wouldn’t the First Amendment cover that?  Well, let’s just say that I would (rightly) have visitors at the front door of my house wearing black suits and sunglasses (at night, no less), escorting me to a federal facility for a five year in-house course in gravel making.

       Now, I don’t like John Kerry, and I like Hanoi Jane even less.  However, I won’t threaten violence against them, or anybody else for that matter.  Nevertheless, Ken and Edna seem to think it’s both hunky and dory to shoot Rummy.  I wonder if they’d do the same to the rest of the ''Bush Bunch'' as they call them.  I wonder how such hate could be fostered over a disagreement over political policy.

       Or perhaps they’re still honked off about losing the 2000 election.  This is Florida we’re talking about. 

       There is something sick about the hatred you see from the lib/dem/soc/commies.  If you’ve ever visited the DemocraticUnderground.com site, you’ll see what I mean.  For a short time, though, because if you post anything to the right of Kennedy, Hellary, or ''Hanoi Jean'' Kerry, you’ll be banned.  Considering the language the allow on that site, you’re probably better off getting booted.  They swear ALMOST as much on John Kerry’s official website....

       I hope that Ken and Edna will switch to decaf for a while.  Perhaps while they are breaking rocks in Leavenworth, they’ll calm down a bit.  The nice part is that after they’re convicted of a felony, they won’t be allowed to vote anymore.  At least, not legally.  ‘Course, that never stopped the lib/dem/soc/commies before.

       Oh, if you’d like to contact them and tell them your opinion of their ad, the area code for St. Petersburg is 727.  Enjoy!

The discourse from the left is so discouraging. It just infuriates me.

[TrueBeliever9]

The Million Mom March Against Guns should hold their march in Florida! The old proverb "take the log out of your own eye....."

[lainde]

bump for later

[alloysteel]

Was George Soros (MoveOn.org) money behind this ad? If so, the Democrats are in a lot more trouble from the electorate that anyone now imagines.

[tioga]

They are anti-guns, but want to place an ad to "kill" someone, they contradict themselves, just what do they believe in?

[mabelkitty]

Rush mentioned this.
Big big trouble for Little John if true.

[MrB]

Don't let it infuriate you -

EXPOSE IT.

The worst thing that can happen to the leftists is that their kook-hiding "liberal/progressive" masks are removed.

[battousai]

you gotta wonder about the intelligence of people who can't even spell patriot correctly in a newspaper ad!

[MrB]

They are anti-guns

You're not entirely correct with this.
They don't want YOU, an individual, to have a gun. But the elite that they trust are fully entitled to "protection" for themselves.

[tioga]

I stand corrected, I do remember the Rosie fiasco that illustrated that exact point.

[Frunabulax]

Haven't you heard by now that the phrase "pull the trigger" really means "tell him how we feel". Got that? Good.

Everybody move along now. Nothing to see here!

[kevkrom]

The discourse from the left is so discouraging. It just infuriates me

What do expect, though? The Dems whole campaign is based on hate and anger -- sooner or later some of the leftist fringe were going to go overboard.

My only fear is that this is but the first sign of a large instability.

You should have included contact information for Teddy Kennedy because, after all, it was his hate mongering rhetoric that inspired this Democrat intifada against Rumsfeld.

There is another issue to call Kennedy's office about, while you are at it. The WSJ has an editorial about the leaked memo by a Kennedy staffer regarding holding up a Michigan judicial nomination in order to influence a case before that court. It seems that the staffer was also a co-councel for the defense in the case.The Center for Individual Freedom this week filed a complaint against Ms. Johnson with the New Youk state body that disciplines lawyers. Tell Kennedy that this woman needs to resign, now.

[Poohbah]

If the left chooses war as their remedy, then I say give them all that they want.

I swore an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

BRING IT ON!

[Sprite518]

The left is so full of hate they cannot see straight. They present no ideas to the table that has not been tried before. You know if the role was reverse, and Republican had done it. Then the Socialist in the media would be all over it. Their nothing but a bunch of hypocrites with no ideas. I guess that is par for the course.

[Smartass]

[rockinrebel]

hey just had an interesting chat with ken , first he wouldnt tell me his name then denied being associated with the club ,all the while asking me why i wanted to talk to them. the man wouldnt even admit who he was but then does a liberal ever?

[oyez]

The more I hear, the more I am convinced these people are about a change in forms of government ad they think they will be the new Politburo.

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

I sent an e-mail the their server, I pointed out that they had stepped over the line from editorial to criminal. I also congratulated them for exposing the true nature of the Democrat party to the ignorant masses. It should help us greatly in the upcoming election, particularly in Florida.

[gakrak]

Yes, anti-gun but they wouldn't use guns to kill him, they will try with panty hose.
