(noon – promoted by Nightprowlkitty)
Outside in the distance, a wildcat did growl.
Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl . . .
But according to DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano, those rightwing riders who killed Dr. Tiller and a security guard at the Holocaust Museum weren’t rightwing riders at all, they were just lone nuts who perpetrated “terrible crimes and tragedies” because shit happens.
So relax, America. All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well . . .
Napolitano said she doesn’t think the recent murder of Dr. George Tiller, a late-term abortion provider, and the shooting of a security guard at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum vindicate a controversial Department of Homeland Security report issued to law enforcement about rising right-wing extremism.
The shootings were not evidence of growing violent political extremism in the United States, Napolitano said at a Thursday press briefing in Washington. “I don’t look at those murders as anything other than terrible crimes and tragedies,” Napolitano said. Stepping up her criticism of the report, Napolitano added, “I do think, as I’ve said before, that the so-called right-wing extremist report was not a well-produced product. It could and should have been done better. We’ve already taken steps within the department to improve that situation.” She did not elaborate.
Rightwing nutjobs are elaborating though. They’re elaborating all over the fucking place. That well-produced product of rightwing extremism, Joe the Plumber, spoke to a knuckle-dragging crowd of mouth-breathers in Wisconsin yesterday, slandered Chris Dodd, and asked, “Why hasn’t he been strung up?”
I could fill this essay with similar quotes, but we’ve all seen them, we all know that the right is inciting and exhibiting extremism at a fever pitch, we all know it’s going to get worse. From Michelle Bachmann urging rightwingers to “be armed and dangerous” to Hannity and Beck and O’Reilly stoking the fires of rightwing hatred against Obama and Democrats, the right in this country is seething cauldron of violent rhetoric.
But there’s no reason to get excited, Napolitano kindly spoke,
There are many here among us, who feel democracy is but a joke.
That’s not exactly breaking news. The right doesn’t give a damn about democracy. Power is all the right gives a damn about, Christianist power, Wall Street power, white power. BushCo burrowed rightwing nutjobs into every agency of the federal government to undermine and obstruct and sabotage any and every effort for reform. They want power again, they want to regain control over the White House and Congress because America needs “real conservatism” and “free market capitalism” and a “strong President” who’ll keep America safe from the Muslims and the Mexicans and the gays and America hating liberals.
But you and I, weve been through that, and this is not our fate,
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late.
Ed Schultz isn’t speaking falsely, he’s warning America, he knows what the rightwing agenda is, he knows what it’s always been and always will be . . .
I think Dick Cheney’s all about power. I think Dick Cheney’s all about seeing this country go conservative on a hard right-wing and I think he’ll do anything to get it that way. It’s all about the conservatives grabbing the power and keeping it. Those folks hate.
Outside in the distance a wildcat did growl,
Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl.
Outside in the distance, another 9/11 is approaching. It might not get here for ten years. It might get here tomorrow. I’d like to say that’s not our fate, but I can’t. When that day comes, the rightwing madness the first 9/11 unleashed will be nothing compared to the rightwing madness the next one will unleash. The wind will howl. It will howl like it’s never howled before.
And all shall not be well, and all shall not be well, and all manner of things shall not be well. When that shitstorm hits, all manner of things shall be fucked up to a fare-thee-well. We won’t be knocking on Heaven’s door, we’ll be knocking on Hell’s door. And it will open wide.

While all the killers came and went, their inciters too.
But she won’t do shit about it.
She speaks falsely about it,
As the riders are approaching, and the wind begins to howl . . .
9-11 didn’t make me fearful. The rightwing nutjobs do.
OT- I left a best wishes for JC & family at CB about this:

They are figuring she will get 3 years in prison. I didn’t know if you had heard it yet.
it’s just that the door has remained open!
Thanks, Rusty, the sucking truth!
vote for corporate ninnies like Obama. Dodd is actually a corporate Dem too. He has taken millions from the health insurance industries, and is one of the biggest obstacles to national health insurance, in congress. It is a way of gaming the system so we only have a choice between right wing and far right wing, don’t fall for it. A kook will pop up once and a while, but we must not turn that into support for corporate dems.
There’s no way the government or media are going to slow them down.
Maybe those people need a dose of their own. BOY, WOULD THAT SET THEM HOWLING!
with the right tard rhetoric I can’t see the sustainability of the left’s Clockwork Oranging theme either.
We have after all dispensed with that generation post WWII American’s who thought that while they might disagree they would defend your right to have your opinion. Now one is not allowed to speak of “niggers”,”spics”,”queers” and parents can be held by authorities for objecting to schools telling their five year olds it’s OK for the neighbors family to have two Daddys. You just must accept the all controlling mechanism of multiculturalism even while those in power build their muli-national sweatshops.
