Anti-Tea Party Radical Demands Beheading of Business Owners and Conservatives

Last weekend, Tea Parties throughout the country held Tax Day rallies to protest bloated government budgets, ever increasing debt, and the ballooning entitlement state. Some among the Left were not content to let the Tea Party own Tax Day.

In Arkansas, an anti-Tea Party rally dubbed "Make Them Pay" took place on the steps of the state capitol. Jim Lendall, a former state representative and 2010 Green Party Gubernatorial nominee, was applauded when he took the podium to call for the beheading of businessmen and conservatives.

The French, inspired by our American Revolution, knew how to deal with the wealthy arrogant aristocrats. The French people built guillotines. Maybe we can park a guillotine in front of every chamber of commerce, corporate headquarters, bank, investment house, and Republican Party headquarters to remind them that democracy is about people, not profits. We need to tell them in one clear voice, ‘No more greed.’

The video was picked up by Breitbart. Check it out. Note the amused approving smirks, the aloof comfort, and the eagerly offered applause.

The easy point to make, which Americans for Prosperity Arkansas does, is that Lendall's call to violence higlights a double-standard. What if a similar comment were made at a Tea Party rally? There's no doubt it would be a top story for days.

However, there's a more instructive point to take away. Unlike Sarah Palin's depiction of gun sights on a campaign map, this is not a political metaphor. Lendall references the French Revolution as a template for how the Left should proceed. At the very least, he suggests that the threat of violence is a legitimate political tactic...

This guy is saying out loud what many leftists are thinking.

Collectivism will reach for its goals at any cost to those in their way.

[skeeter]

May the leftists one day get what they so eagerly seek.

It surely will not be what they expect.

I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony for Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or his image and had not received his mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years. Revelation 20:4

Yep, it's comin. This stuff always starts out as talk.

Is the Left up to the French Revolution, I don't think so...

Adversity employs great talents; prosperity renders them useless and carries the inept, the corrupted wealthy and the wicked to the top

May they bear in mind that virtue often contains the seeds of tyranny

May they bear in mind that it is neither gold nor even a multitude of arms that sustains a state but its morals

May each of them keep in his house, in a corner of this field, next to his workbench, next to his plow, his gun, his sword, and his bayonet

May they all be soldiers

May they bear in mind that in circumstances where deliberation is possible, the advice of old men is good but that in moments of crisis youth is generally better informed that its elders

Heck, I think we should pull into Washington DC with a half dozen Guillotines on flatbed trucks and get to work fixing our government at all levels.

But that’s just me.

Lendell needs to read more about the French revolution and pay particular attention to how that big chopping thing turned out. But, being a greenie gives him a free pass from anything that might involve work.

[Bullish]

Bring it on fat-ass.

Guys like this can sure talk the talk but they're all cowards through and through.

[GeronL]

About 80% of those slaughtered by the French revolutionaries were peasants.

Heck, I think we should pull into Washington DC with a half dozen Guillotines on flatbed trucks and get to work fixing our government at all levels.

But to keep it civilized, I believe after a person is Guillotined he should have a speedy trial. The trial should be held withing 90 days of the execution. - Tom

Let the left erect their guillotines. I can think of .223 and .308 reasons why they won’t get to use them. They should always remember which side already has the guns and is way ahead on the range time.

[Anti-Bubba182]

I bet we kill more of them if it goes that way.

[Melchior]

We are at war.

They never grow up, do they? I wish the sixties would die already.

[Soothesayer]

but how are they going to behead us if they are filled with bullets?
