Strike quick and hurry at him,
not caring to hit or miss.
So that you dishonor him before the judges



Recently it became known to Conservatives and Republicans that Kathy Boudin, former Weather Underground member who was convicted in the murders of two security guards and a police officer during an armored car heist, was given a teaching position at Columbia University. Unknown to many of these people, Kathy Boudin has been working at Columbia University for the last five years, and she is teaching a class about dealing with life after prison. She seems qualified, since she spent more than twenty years in prison for her crime.

The O'Reilly Factor recently discovered this, and the vitriol is spewing forth with such ferocity that you can practically see the flames in their eyes. One of the panel members openly says that Kathy Boudin deserves death, and O'Reilly himself says that Miss Boudin should hope she doesn't run into him.

http://www.bizpacreview.com/2013/04/07/oreilly-gutfeld-disgusted-by-lefts-glorification-of-terrorist-radicals-60191

It has also been picking up some steam on social media, but unfortunately nothing in my personal sphere.

I don't listen to much Liberal media, but I can't imagine so much outright hatred and literal calls for death would be found or tolerated on MSNBC, NPR, or any other Liberal mass media outlet. I guess this is just the outrage machine at work. People are easier to rally if they're upset or scared. After all, now Columbia is basically a terrorist indoctrination camp!

Here is Michelle Malkin and Blonde Fox News Lady 008 discussing how terrible it is for Columbia to hire such an obviously unstable and violent woman: http://www.therightscoop.com/michelle-malkin-takes-on-columbia-for-hiring-former-domestic-terrorist-and-murderer-kathy-boudin-as-professor/

Also, google Michelle Malkin. I'm not sure who picked her profile picture, but it got a chuckle out of me.

It's the good old 'Criminals'/'Citizens' dichotomy, where someone who is a Criminal deserves death because rehabilitation is impossible and they will never follow any laws unless they feel like it, while Citizens mean the best for everyone all the time and follow all laws forever, so placing restrictions on how they behave (i.e. with things like gun control or taxes) is just taking away their rights but will be ineffectual because Criminals Don't Follow Laws. Therefore as soon as someone has committed a crime, ever, for any reason, they should be put to death because they've revealed themselves as part of the Criminal camp and will therefore spend the rest of their life gleefully robbing, raping, and murdering good old defenceless Citizens.

Needless to say, this dichotomy is also the dumbest crap imaginable.

Similar to the Sarah Merkle testimony. I don't have any mouth-foaming conservatives on my Facebook feed, so I think it should be relatively safe to do a point-by-point rebuttal. But god drat the format of this thing. Combined with some of the language about animals, the "virtual president" thing, with THE WHITEST GUY IN HISTORY doing a GW Bush-style "act presidential" thing comes off as a dogwhistle; and I'm betting this guy is a birther.

Some gems:

"And yet, studies show that firearms prevent anywhere from 800,000 to 2 million violent crimes per year."

"Virtual attorney general" virtual this, virtual that.

Amazingly, the reference to the 28th amendment doesn't assert that it already exists.

It's this guy:
http://www.mrvirtualpresident.com/v-potus
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Whittle

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Og0Mq9Y1PM He is a "I'm just asking questions" birther. "And you know what, it (the birth certificate) would be good enough for me too, if it weren't for the fact that there's just so much else." "I think most Americans look at this kind of dodging that they're doing, when they say 'You know what, you're just gonna have to take our word for it.'" He then goes on to use a vague "it" surrounded by language implying skepticism, with "it" possibly representing the COMMUNIST SCHOOL Obama's mother allegedly attended (which he ALSO describes while lapsing into vague pronouns, probably to convince people he's suggesting Obama went there); or Obama's birth certificate.

This guy is a MASTER of shifting rhetorical focus. I mean listen to that piece. It's amazing. Show it to some conservative relative of yours and then get them to summarize it, see if they don't come away saying that he said that Obama isn't an American or that he was a communist. He doesn't explicitly come out and say these things, but he juxtaposes things such that if you aren't paying attention, it seems as though he is.

Fox News needs to hire this guy, he's on a completely different level from their "we're just asking questions" shtick.

Not only that, most people in his charge are awaiting trial and not convicted of anything yet. I miss HidingFromGoro's old prison thread because it did an excellent job showcasing just how terrible Arpaio and his policy of institutionalized racism is.

Arpaio is a tyrannical psychopath who has drowned the sheriff's office in lawsuits and misconduct investigations while he continues to blatantly abuse human and civil rights. There's normal closeted racists, and then there's Joe Arpaio, who has accumulated so much power in his little fiefdom that he brazenly disregards the law whenever he sees fit, abuses the court system to persecute his enemies, consorts with neo-nazis, you name it.

All that and he's 80, which is also ridiculous.

AN ACTUAL CRAIG'S LIST PERSONALS AD

To the Guy Who Tried to Mug Me in Downtown Savannah night before last.
I was the guy wearing the black Burberry jacket that you demanded that I hand over, shortly after you pulled the knife on me and my girlfriend, threatening our lives. You also asked for my girlfriend's purse and earrings. I can only hope that you somehow come across this rather important message.
First, I'd like to apologize for your embarrassment; I didn't expect you to actually crap in your pants when I drew my pistol after you took my jacket.. The evening was not that cold, and I was wearing the jacket for a reason.. my girlfriend was happy that I just returned safely from my 2nd tour as a Combat Marine in Afghanistan .. She had just bought me that Kimber Custom Model 1911 .45 ACP pistol for my birthday, and we had picked up a shoulder holster for it that very evening. Obviously you agree that it is a very intimidating weapon when pointed at your head ... isn't it?!

I know it probably wasn't fun walking back to wherever you'd come from with crap in your pants. I'm sure it was even worse walking bare-footed since I made you leave your shoes, cell phone, and wallet with me. [That prevented you from calling or running to your buddies to come help mug us again].

After I called your mother or "Momma" as you had her listed in your cell, I explained the entire episode of what you'd done. Then I went and filled up my gas tank as well as those of four other people in the gas station, -- on your credit card. The guy with the big motor home took 153 gallons and was extremely grateful!
I gave your shoes to a homeless guy outside Vinnie Van Go Go's, along with all the cash in your wallet. [That made his day!]

I then threw your wallet into the big pink "pimp mobile" that was parked at the curb ..... after I broke the windshield and side window and keyed the entire driver's side of the car.
Earlier, I managed to get in two threatening phone calls to the DA's office and one to the FBI, while mentioning President Obama as my possible target.
The FBI guy seemed really intense and we had a nice long chat (I guess while he traced your number etc.).
;In a way, perhaps I should apologize for not killing you ... but I feel this type of retribution is a far more appropriate punishment for your threatened crime. I wish you well as you try to sort through some of these rather immediate pressing issues, and can only hope that you have the opportunity to reflect upon, and perhaps reconsider, the career path you've chosen to pursue in life.. Remember, next time you might not be so lucky. Have a good day!

Thoughtfully yours, Semper Fi

I always kind of assume that guy had all the time in the world to get that complicated, horrible revenge because he probably had been kicked out of the Marines for doing some kind of unspeakable, hushed-up atrocity to an Afghan village. Now the dude largely just sits at home, cleaning his guns, waiting for someone he can carry out some "justice" on. He's stopped going to the VA. He's stopped taking his pills. He just wanders the streets all night, never sleeping. The girlfriend part was a lie. He's out there, and anyone could be part of his next chain email.

Right from the establishment of the Third Reich, Nazi leaders proclaimed the existence of a Volksgemeinschaft ("people's community"). Nazi policies divided the population into two categories, the Volksgenossen ("national comrades"), who belonged to the Volksgemeinschaft, and the Gemeinschaftsfremde ("community aliens"), who did not. Nazi policies about repression divided people into three types of enemies, the "racial" enemies such as the Jews and the Gypsies who were viewed as enemies because of their "blood"; political opponents such as Marxists, liberals, Christians and the "reactionaries" who were viewed as wayward "National Comrades"; and moral opponents such as homosexuals, the "work-shy" and habitual criminals, also seen as wayward "National Comrades".
