Benjamin Netanyahu speech: Radio host calls for Democrats boycotting address to be hanged
03 March 2015

A far right-wing radio host has sparked a race row, after she called on Democrat politicians, including members of the Black Congressional Caucus, to be hanged if they boycotted a controversial speech by Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Congress.

More than four dozen House and Senate Democrats said in advance they would not attend the event in a highly unusual move given historically close ties between the two allies.

Andrea Shea King, a member of the populist Tea Party movement, said in her weekly talk-radio show: “I would like to think that these guys (Congressmen boycotting the speech) could pay with their lives, hanging from a noose in front of the US Capitol Building."

"Because what they are doing is they are putting their own interests above that of America.

Not particularly deadly, but poisonous, irritating, and capable of inducing prolonged nausea.

say things almost as bad on a daily basis, with an audience of millions.

This freaky woman's show is apparently internet-only. Less than 600 followers. http://www.blogtalkradio.com/askshow

This attention will probably help her.

Here's her (un)apology: https://radiopatriot.wordpress.com/2015/03/03/in-retrospect-a-mea-culpa

"If I had chosen my words more carefully and said instead that members of Congress, including the Black Congressional Caucus who chose to boycott Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu’s speech to a joint session of Congress, were putting immature high school partisanship behavior ahead of very serious world affairs, that this isn’t a game or a time to be acting as petulant juveniles, my comments likely would have gone unnoticed."

So, maybe not hang 'em, but give them a good tongue-lashing. Almost the same.

Congress, and began to leak into policy.

If Dems stay the corporate, don't fight back course, and the GOP wins the White House again, they know demographically it will be their last chance to get their democratically, and this kind of talk won't be rhetoric anymore.

They were speaking to another member of Putin's opposition. The reporter asked if she feared for her life. Duh, what do you think.

versus threatening mere citizens or anyone else such as legislators. I sure hope Ms. King gets a visit from the FBI to find out whether she was serious or whether she just misspoke. The Secret Service would also be acceptable, though I don't think it's in their charter.
