How close are we to some sort of violent action from the right wing?

[AlinPA]

Their hatred and intolerance is at levels that I have never seen before except for their racial hatred in the '60's.
Dialogue in congress has stopped.
There is no reasonable discourse between right and left.
Both sides only talk amongst themselves.
The right wing government and their messengers Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity, Limbaugh and that ilk are spewing hate at very high levels now.
A civil war started by the right wing would mean a wipe out because the republican government controls all the guns and weapons.
I wonder- how close are we?

1. Relax.

It's summer. They won't start a civil war in the summer. They will be visiting their beach houses, their second homes, wherever they are. In the fall after the dems take back the legislature, then we can start to worry.

3. Fall is hunting season - plus real hunters aren't into hate. The hate

crowd does not have the balls to take on the 60's crowd that is still around - and have been through one violent political time against the hate crowd - and won.

6. "Been through one violent political time against the hate crowd & won"

And getting old enough not to be overly indulgent with them this time around ;)

Send my in, coach. I'm ready to play the game... again:evilgrin:

13. Me too!!

Mean people suck and I'm fed up with their 'republican revolution' already. I'm still waiting to see some grown-ups as promised.

They detest us for what we believe. I detest them for their wrongdoing!! There's nothing 'right' about these asshats.

2. track timothy mcveigh -- check on how

heated the rhetoric on right wing radio is getting -- what are they spreading on their blogs and in their papers and pulpits.

they keep their footsoldiers fired-up all the time -- but sometimes they want action.

4. mentally ill lone nuts or pairs of crazies are always with us n/t

n/t

8. timothy mcveigh was neither of those. n/t

5. No joke,

arm yourself and try to arm in groups. Why there is no leftwing NRA or left militias is beyond me. I can't figure out why more liberals don't anticipate violent action from the right.

[baldguy]

7. What, Iraq isn't violent enough for you?

Ok City wasn't violent enough? Bombing abortion clinics? Murdering doctors? Violent action is a constant threat from the right.

9. They've completed a non-violent takeover

there isn't any need for them to start killing us. They have the media under complete control, the elections are rigged (whenever and wherever they need them to be), and as you say they can spew lies, hatred, and propaganda at will. Their installed Resident does about three hours of work a month. Their fascist state is a perfectly oiled machine - unstoppable. In fact, they probably prefer it this way. If they start killing us, we will start shooting back, and they don't want any resistance - they're cowards down deep.

10. Imminent

The NRA, GOA, AMhateradio, televangelists and FAUXNEWZ have been revving up their forces for decades. We must own guns because they own guns. Practice regularly.

11. Republican government controls all the weapons?

Even if that were true, it'd only be because Democrats like Clinton want to take the guns away from the citizenry, so only the government has them. Then it's just a coincidence that the Republican goverment only has guns. Stop all this "gun control" bs and it won't be a problem. Start excersizing the 2nd amedment for what it's for and the left will have nothing to worry about.

16. Hi simonov!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[unkachuck]

12. do you believe....

....they caused 9/11 for their neocon agenda?....if so, then we're probably long overdue....

[Patchuli]

14. YUP! nt

[MercutioATC]

15. Step AWAY from the coffee....(and hallucinogens)

Civil war? An actual civil war where the Republicans took up arms against Democrats?

Jeez...
