Remind you of anyone here?

“that Does sound vaguely familiar......”

“It's an ugly profile....”

“I've been hearing some incredible venom on the radical right talk radio shows.”

“yes, it was all the fault of talk radio and fox and beck and rush and hannity and.......if it weren't for them

you guys are a joke.”

“When the crazies start shooting people over this crap, believe me it's no joke.  

You remember Timothy McVeigh....   No Joke At All.......”

“Really no laughing matter.

Serious question: How many crazy guys who listen to right wing hate mongers and decide to act on their impulses to kill liberals does it take before we should draw a connection baume?”

“Nice plug for the socialist Fairness Doctrine.

Fail...”

“Nice display of cluelessness as to what socialism is.”

“LOL...Vile baby shows that "Free Speech" is open to interpretation by the left.”

“XLax tells us that murdering cops is merely an exercise of right-wing "free speech".

This is not an LOL matter........

He and some of these sweethearts remind me of Senator Iselin in the 1962 Manchurian Candidate, ranting on and on about "socialism" and "communism".”

“It originally struck me as odd that 'Senator Iselin' would be preferable to the Communists.... but the subsequent George Bush turned out to be Al Qaeda's wet dream....   So there ya go.”

“i didn't call the act a joke, i didn't call any of it a laughing matter.

i called you that want to blame stuff like this on talk radio a joke.

ozzy made him do it. sound familiar. its always somebody elses fault.

its like you don't want to admit there really are some #&%!$ed up people around. they're all sheeple doing the evil biddings of glen beck or ozzy or whomever is convenient to blame on any particular day. push it all away from personal responsibility.

and now tilt is going to throw mcveigh in there. he too was a little beck boy.

as i said, you guys are a joke.

“The shooter is ultimately responsible for his actions, nobody is saying otherwise.

AND he was inspired in part by reactionary media "personalities" and their right-wing rabble-rousing.”

“i'm sure katie couric had as much to do with it as "reactionary media "personalities" and their right-wing rabble-rousing".

“By the same token, the more unbalanced they are, the easier they are to manipulate. Think of how the Moonies target troubled teenagers.

Sometimes, as in the case of this particular wackjob, it works "too well".”

“Obama: the socialist who seeks to destroy capitalism.

Because he wants to raise the tax rate on the highest-income Americans back to 10 percentage points less than it was during most of the Reagan administration.

It's so clear to me now...

“Is Katie Couric a reactionary right-wing neo-fascist??

Dude, I am not watching enough TeeVee.

Hey Kleetn, let's destroy capitalism.
I so want to live in a shanty town and eat beans.”

“no, she's a reactionary left-wing neo-socialist.

they have as much to do with it as the reactionary right-wing neo-fascists.”

“Well now we know in hard numbers the precise difference between a Dirty Communist and a True Blue Capitalist ----- It's a difference in the top income tax rate between 39% and 36%.”

“reactionary:
adjective

of, pertaining to, marked by, or favoring reaction, esp. extreme conservatism or rightism in politics; opposing political or social change.

Let's not go trying to change the English language in the name of political posturing.
Any other reason is OK.”

“my mistake, i should have used the word radical.”

“I always wondered whether it was stupidity or arrogance that made the Kool-Aid Drinkers believe that they're smart and informed yet opposing viewpoints are fed into the brains of the slackjawed by rabble rousing right wing psychos, then I remember that there's a lot of drugs and alcohol at play there to so, meh.”

“Those who disagree with you must be drunk, eh NonCommie?

Nothing of substance.................the usual.”

“Feeding the paranoia of crazy people who think the government is out to get them to the point that they shoot a few cops or a church full of liberals should be a blameless act?

Where's your sense of personal responsibility, baume?


You really want to wait until another day care center full of babies takes the brunt of a domestic terrorist's bomb before asking these a-holes to ratchet down the hateful rhetoric a wee bit?

Kos Issues Retraction Of Infowars/Poplawski Smear

Steve Watson
Infowars.net
Tuesday, April 7, 2009

Another left wing news website has issued a retraction pertaining to attempts to assign blame to Alex Jones for being an influence in the tragic shooting of three Pittsburgh police officers on Saturday.

The Daily Kos had joined the chorus of mostly left wing blogs and news sites in following the ADL’s attack on Alex Jones, Infowars and Prisonplanet over the appalling incident at the weekend.

Now, following an earlier clarification from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and a retraction from the Raw Story website, a Daily Kos contributor with the handle fcvaguy, has added the following update to his original piece:

Based on a correction/retraction on RawStory, I have reason to doubt the information reported by the ADL with respect to Alex Jones and Infowars or PrisonPlanet. In fact, evidence points to the contrary; that Alex Jones has spoken strongly against hate speech similar to that spoken by Richard Poplawski. Therefore, in fairness, I’ve removed any references in this diary with respect to Alex Jones and the websites Infowars or PrisonPlanet.

It now follows that the ADL should also issue a retraction of their initial comments, the original source from which other blogs and websites took their lead.

Other notable blogs such as Little Green Footballs and Media Matters should also follow the example set by Raw Story and Daily Kos in issuing retractions.

As we announced in our previous article, we will consider taking further action should full and frank retractions not be forthcoming.

The Daily Kos writer himself states in his opening sentence:

“Some of us over the past few days have been working together “sleuthing” the internet for anything related to Richard Poplawski.”

What this translates as is that he and others slapped together whatever they could find from googling “Poplawski” in an effort to bolster their own preconceived notions and agendas. Unfortunately that does not constitute journalism and in sensitive cases like this one it very often leads to slander and libel.

Upon discovering a handful of comments previously posted by Poplawski in the comments sections of our website, these individuals immediately played fast and loose with the truth as part of an orchestrated smear campaign.

They attempted to to classify Infowars as an outlet for “hate speech”, a notion that was instantly discredited (without us even having to respond) by the fact that the ADL’s own website admitted that Richard Poplawski held views that opposed those of Alex Jones and his dedicated staff of writers.

In reality, Poplawski was just another of the throngs of Neo-Nazis that attack us on a daily basis.

Besides, should we now go into every murderers’ house and obsessively investigate what books they read, and then blame the murder on that?

This whole lamentable situation highlights how an advanced culture of blame has gotten out of control and is being actively used by some groups and so called media outlets as a way to dismiss diversity of opinion and instigate a crack down on free speech.

The Daily Kos has even had the temerity to flip the situation and attack Glenn Beck a second time, for attempting to respond to the accusations uncovered by the “research”.

“Because it’s all about him, right? How self-absorbed can one man possibly be?” Jed Lewison writes.

No Jed, it has nothing to do with Glenn Beck. You were the ones who attempted to make it about Glenn Beck, so don’t then go blaming Glenn Beck for responding to your accusations of blame for a multiple murder.

And no, I am not defending or agreeing with Glenn Beck, this is not about Glenn Beck, in case that needs explaining to you AGAIN.

No rational person can condone the views or actions of Richard Poplawski, but to attempt to use such deplorable events as a way of attacking those you do not agree with is beyond pitiful”

“What? You've never listened to these guys?

You have? So post something then. Should be easy for you.”

“my sense of personal responsibility lies in the belief that if any show they can't live within the parameters set in a society they should be punished. if they kill someone, they should be hung by their balls, in the town square to boot.

you using talk shows as a reason for these things just doesn't hold any merit with me. it would be like me trying to blame the "reverends" for all hate and race riots. it's just not true.

i'll be the first to agree, rush, hannity, beck etal, spew a ton of nonsense. trying to use fear tactics (ie, these loonies are going off the deep end because of talk radio) to silence them isn't right or accurate.”

“But the fear tactics are much easier, lol.”

“WHat violin is doing is the real hate speach”

“Strat - ....and you're a slack-jawed yokel.

Go to the link in my first post and show me what is incorrect about the Post-Gazette story.

Now explain to me how I'm a "liar".

Go ahead loudmouth.

“Nothing right?

How about an apology then?”

“Go ahead.

Demonstrate what this "integrity" quality that you constantly accuse me of lacking is.”

“Ha! I love it when Violin jumps up on the ant hill of TT moral high ground and gets all offended and indignant. Where's that darned irony thread when ya need it?”

“Nothing right?

“Hey when the PrezBO's Buddies were bombing government buildings left and right in the 60's um who were the Right Wing talk shows urging it on?”

“http://www.foxnews.com/politics/first100days/2009/04/14/homeland-security-warns-rise-right-wing-extremism/

LOL...

The Department of Homeland Security is warning law enforcement agencies that recent news is helping "right-wing extremist groups" recruit new members and could lead to violence, and warns about the possible recruitment and radicalization of returning veterans


The crowd who couldn't shoot right is looking the wrong way as usual.”

viOliN

DEMMIT NIGEL! FOR THE LAST TIME, LEAVE ROVER ALONE!”

“and stick it back in StratdOOd where it belongs.”

“Have you any integrity, Mr. Tea-bagger?”

“vile and 'integrity'.
BAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA”

“Report warns of rise of right-wing extremists

The teabaggers better be sure to clearly mark those envelopes ----”

“Malkin really hit the nail on the head regarding that report.”

“One prominent right-wing blogger calls the report a "hit job on conservatives." Others denounce it as "execrable" and "a blatant propaganda effort designed to characterize conservatives as racist, anti-American, dangerous extremists".

Conservatives have made their own bed and sooner or later they have to lie down in it.”

“THink about it Mutt, first they demonize "Bankers, Brokers and people making big money" (translation mostly conservative). Then the demonize people wanting less government....its coming...LOL.”

“But denying the obvious is their Thing.”

“XL and Mutt's operative slogan: If it does not fit, we must not admit.”
