Religious right advocating violence if they don't get their way on banning same-sex marriage.

[Pushed To The Left]

:mad: These people are sick. Check out these comments advocating violent overthrow of the government by "P-Marlowe":

"If the ability of the people of California to amend their Constitution is removed by judicial fiat, then the people of the state of California would have both the right and the duty to take up arms to overthrow this judicial tyranny.

I don't say this lightly. But tyranny must be confronted, by force if necessary, or we will lose our precious liberty.

Our forefathers pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor to oppose tyranny. We dishonor their memory by allowing it to fester in our time.

"SoCalPol" seems to be threatening violence at a gay pride parade:
"This better be on the ballot in Nov or things will get ugly.

Speaking of, next month is the gay pride prade here in San Diego and you can bet that there will be folks in the crowd who want this on the ballot and the poice will be even more busy.
Usually there is a crowd of well over 100,000 that lines the route.

It's pretty sad that some members of the religious right are willing to resort to domestic terrorism to prevent a minority group from being treated equally.

Here's the link to the madness: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2034799/posts

1. Now they're willing to do this out in the open instead of cornfields.

Go ahead. Let 'em show the world the hateful shit that we have to put up with. It'll expedite the process of equality for sure.

[Occulus]

21. Lots and lots of gay people are fully prepared to defend themselves.

I've lost count of how many knives are in this place- kitchen, and not.

I don't think they are fully aware of the resolve of people like us to live in peace, undisturbed by them. They think of us all as lily-livered pansies.

If they act upon their words, they're in for a surprise.

[TheWatcher]

23. They are in for the rudest awakening they couldn't imagine in their worst nighmares.

I ABSOLUTELY do not advocate violence in the sense of pre-meditation, but self-defense is a different story.

I highly doubt any of these cowards would dare risk a confrontation in real life, but if it comes to that, so be it.

If this is the only choice they are leaving the rest of us, if it's the only thing they understand, and if it's the only language they are willing to speak, then let them suffer the full consequences of their actions.

They deserve No Quarter, and may they receive it. IN ABUNDANCE.

As far as I'm concerned, if this is all they have to contribute to human kind, perhaps they are better off not being a part of it.

They have no one to blame but themselves.

This foolishness has to stop. One way or another.

[msongs]

2. gas jews, lynch blacks, now it the glbt community's turn - bible thumpers ugh nt

[crim son]

3. "Tyranny it be."

:rofl:

I don't think it's sad, I think it's wrong and as amusing as it is to note the freeper language taking on an elegant, grave tone when they discuss the imminent demise of our country as a direct consequence of gay marriage, posters like P-Marlowe should be hunted down and prosecuted for threatening. And it's strange, too, that these people could be so rigorously blind when it comes to their own hypocrisy, speaking of our "precious" freedom while revolting at the prospect of freedom in practice.

[Pushed To The Left]

15. I'm wondering if the Secret Service would be interested in Free Republic threads such as this one

Talking about violently overthrowing the government seems pretty serious!

[Wizard777]

32. No Christian terrorists are, well, the GOP base. Now if it were Muslims.

Off to Gitmo with the whole lot of them!

[Dukkha]

4. Bring it on!

if they think the gays will merely passively resist they are in for a very rude awakening.

[papapi]

7. Stonewall 2008. . . .

only this time it could get a lot more dangerous. No one really knows what a fundie is truly capable of until one is cornered.

[sam sarrha]

10. i hope we dont find out who'd jesus kill

[Flying Dream Blues]

52. And if they think the rest of us will just stand by watching they are ALSO in for

a rude awakening. E pluribus unum!
(I got your back!)

[Echo In Light]

5. Good thing we've got our Homeland $ecurity protection from real terrorists

[Bluebear]

6. Judicial fiat! Judicial fiat! As if they know what that means.

Ignorant parrots.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

11. Most of them believe it's Alito's sportscar.

Small minds indeed my friend :hug:

[newmajority]

19. Yeah, they know what it is.

They celebrated one on December 12, 2000. :(

[bullwinkle428]

43. Putting on a black robe and driving around in an unreliable car?

:hide:

[ThoughtCriminal]

8. Oh, that plan worked SO well in Selma and Birmingham

Bigots never learn

[spanone]

9. bring it on

[MisterHowdy]

12. Matthew 5:43

Love your enemies, pray for persecutors.

[newmajority]

20. That verse isn't found in the Freeper Bible.

They buy the "red letter" editions so they know which pages to rip out. They want the God who tells them to stone people and invade cities, not the words of some long haired hippie preaching love and tolerance.

[Clark2008]

33. So they rip out all the red-lettered pages?

In my Bible from childhood, the red words are the words of Jesus. Jesus would never have condoned violence on innocents.

[newmajority]

40. That was exactly my point.

The Freeps don't acknowledge the teachings of JC at all. They follow more the example of Paul - but even then, it's more like the pre-Damascus version, when he went all over the place oppressing the believers.

[VP505]

13. I hope they do,

"take up arms to overthrow this judicial tyranny". I think its pretty clear who will win that one. Perhaps if a few of them end up in prison spending a few years as "Big Bubba's Bitch" they will develope a better understanding of Gay Marriage. Talk about irony, LOL.

[Ghost in the Machine]

18. So you honestly think prison rape will open someone's eyes to gay marriage??

"Perhaps if a few of them end up in prison spending a few years as "Big Bubba's Bitch" they will develope a better understanding of Gay Marriage." :puke:


That's the most mind-numbingly stupid statement I've ever read. Seriously...

That's like saying beating your wife will help her develop a better understanding of love, or that bombing Iraq gives them a better understanding of Peace.

:crazy:

[Mythsaje]

44. Thank you...

Lines like that usually set my teeth on edge.

[Ghost in the Machine]

48. I can't believe I'm the only one who said anything about it....

But then again, prison rape *is* funny to some people here. Of course, it would be hypocritical of me to not mention that I have had the very same sentiments before, especially in regards to child rapists, but this particular comment was beyond stupid... for the reasons I pointed out.

[VP505]

63. Maybe not everyone has

their mind in the gutter. Sex or prison rape would have been the last thing I was thinking about and your right if that was what I meant it would have been a stupid thing to say. The point I was trying to make is that if someone is going to advocate or participate in violence to get their way they may end up incarcerated and on the receiving end of some abusive treatment and regarded as someone less than equal. That was a poor choice of words that could be easily misconstrued, I should have said that differently or at least with some explanation. However, you could have asked what was meant before jumping into a rant on how stupid the statement was and wondering why nobody was piling on for a flame fest.

[Ghost in the Machine]

64. "Big Bubba's Bitch"

Did you go back and read what you wrote? Now you want to spin it and try to put it on me as having my "mind in the gutter"? You're a joke, and your backpedalling is bullshit. That's *exactly* how you meant it. It's right there in black & white, buddy...

Could it just be that you really don't know what a "prison bitch" is? Is that what you're saying? Are you saying that you just spout off things without knowing what you're talking about? This attempt at an excuse and backpedal is lamer than your original reply. Perhaps you should consider quitting while you're only this far behind....

just sayin'...

[OffWithTheirHeads]

14. As Betty Bowers said, , "The real Jesus forgives their Jesus

For being a Greedy, Republican, war monger."

[rucky]

26. But not before vomiting, first...

[Bluebear]

16. 'If you have nothing worth dying for, then you have nothing worth living for.' someone says

They expect us to believe they are willing to "die over" gay marriage?

Some of those posters sound unbalanced and yes, dangerous.

[Missy Vixen]

17. Please. When you see these kinds of posts,

SEND THEM TO THE FBI, complete with link and text.

Please.

It's illegal to threaten others' health and safety, and this is a clear threat.

Law enforcement can't act unless they have proof.

Julie

[TheWatcher]

25. Although I agree with you Julie

You'll have to forgive my cynicism that The FBI or law enforcement will do a damn thing in response.

When you have nationally syndicated Talk Show hosts trying to incite riots in Denver and calling for people to be killed, and nothing is ever done, you kind of get a sense that we are on our own right now.

[readmoreoften]

27. That would only give them ammo. Besides we can fight our own battles.

All they'll do is get uppity about "The fags called the FBI on me for my free speech! The Government is enforcing faggotry!"

The FBI wouldn't know what to do with a homophobe. We've been dealing with them all our lives.

[Missy Vixen]

31. I guess I'm confused by your statements

>All they'll do is get uppity about "The fags called the FBI on me for my free speech! The Government is enforcing faggotry!"<

Making a written statement of intention to commit violence against another person is not "infringement of free speech". When we sit back and allow it, they've won, and innocent people get hurt.

How exactly do you intend to "fight our own battles"? This is an issue for law enforcement.

Julie

[readmoreoften]

41. No, but they will use it in such a way. Of course you can fight your own battles.

One of the reasons for the reduction in Klan presence is that the ARA (anti-racist action) have been physically fighting them and winning. If you call the police, these morons start to think that they are superior to you. They start to believe their own BS. When they attack you and you kick their asses and make them look like fools, it destroys their recruitment. Young people romanticize a "bad-ass" organization that is so scary that the FBI is investigating them.

But if the same skinheads get beat up by a group of angry drag queens and their supporters, they'll be sulking in their mother's basements soon enough.

[and-justice-for-all]

22. We do not negotiate with terrrorist..nt

[santamargarita]

24. They're just afraid their closet boyfriends might get married!

[AllentownJake]

28. "Live by the sword, Die by the sword"

Do these people actually read their holy book or do they just masturbate to the passages thy like in Leviticus.

If their God, did not advocate taking up arms over his arrest and Persecution, and the occupation of his homeland by a Pagan foriegn force, I highly doubt he'd be supportive of armed coups over something as trivial as Gay Marriage.

[old mark]

29. When they are in control of everything, it is good,

when things don't go their way it is "tyranny". And of course they are acting under "divine guidance" and "doing god's will" by violently attacking others.

We sure have come a long way since the dark ages. (joke)

mark

[Kickin_Donkey]

30. While it's shocking ...

it's par for the course.

They already bomb abortion clinics and assassinate doctors who perform abortions.

[sentelle]

34. this is how 2004 got 'close enough' to steal.

You give the knee-jerks enough local measures in enough places (like measures, even non-binding ones, to ban gay marriage, and the 'morans' will come out for the measure, and stay to screw the nation.

Maybe another front to get the Dems in power is to keep these things off the ballot in as many places as possible?

[BreweryYardRat]

35. Freepers and fundies vs. the Pink Pistols?

I'll bet on the Pink Pistols, thank you very much.

[raccoon]

36. Same sex marriage is a threat to a patriarchal society. That's why

these wingnuts are so worked up.

[EFerrari]

47. You're 'way too generous. These little freeps wouldn't know a patriarch

from a Winnebago on the days they bother to fully dress.

[bertha katzenengel]

37. We are the ones who need protection from tyrants.

Protecting the minority from the tyranny of the majority - this is what the courts are for. I'm hearing from people on the right that the CA Supreme Court overstepped its bounds, that it ruled against the majority. Well, of course it did. In some cases it should - that's its job. This is one of those cases.

[Evoman]

38. What "precious liberty" are these fucking shit-bag asshole numbnut motherfuckers losing?

They are trying to restrict liberty.

I wish upon them brain cancer.

[zanne]

39. Their idea of "liberty" is...

Doing things their way.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

42. They have no standing to sue.

They are mad because the gay marriage ruling does not affect them. They had no standing. They like to stick their noses where they don't belong. Gay marriage will not affect them, but they think it does.

:wtf:

[zanne]

50. They think it affects them, because they think they own this country..

They think that when we say "our country" or "our culture" or "our society", it means THEIR country, culture or society. Remember the "Great American Flag" uprising? They were trying to claim this country as their own.

Somehow, whether through popular media, political gasbags or their own regional histories, they truly believe that liberals are trying to "take" their country away from them.

[gollygee]

57. Their idea of liberty is forcing other people to do things their way

and not allowing other people to do things their own way.

[EFerrari]

45. You're talking about people who can't change a litter box

without help, let alone pick up a weapon with any certainty of not shooting off their own unfortunate nose.

[Mythsaje]

46. As I've said before

Gay marriage is only a threat to those who think marriage is an ownership contract rather than a partnership.

[Stinky The Clown]

49. Terrorism

Terrorists

[treestar]

51. Oh, no, I thought it was only Muslim extremists who resorted to

violence!!!! :sarcasm:

[BlooInBloo]

53. Sometimes it's difficult to appreciate the many good points of religion.

[The Stranger]

54. And you're surprised? Wake up, people. Their religion is based in violence.

Take them at their word. They will resort to violence.

[undeterred]

55. I would bet that the actual number willing to risk arrest

for their homophobic beliefs is pretty small. They're big talkers, but very few will act on it.

[KG]

56. religious insanity and gun-nuttery - how cool is that?

:eyes:

[LynnTheDem]

58. Well ya know it's what Jesus would do! He was all for violence, invasions,

death penalty, etc etc etc.

That was one mean viscious kick-ass dude.


:eyes:

Rightwingnuts; truly the stupidest motherfuckers ever.

[yardwork]

59. The nutcases know that they're losing. They're getting desperate.

More and more people are noticing that the sky doesn't fall when gay people are allowed to get married. The scare tactics aren't working anymore. People are starting to care more about the price of gas, the dead and maimed soldiers coming home, their jobs disappearing.

People who have pinned their entire political and social belief structure on hatred and fear of gay people are becoming lonely. They're losing all their friends. Nobody wants to talk to them anymore.

[krispos42]

60. So it's tyranny to be prohibitied from being a tyrant?

Christ.

I wish they'd be up in arms over BushCo, because you KNOW that if Clinton had done a tenth of what Bush did, the Militia Movement would have been overflowing with recruits!

"Bill Clinton's taken away Posse Comitatus and he's illegally wiretapping us! Quick, to the compound!"


THEY ARE NOT THE SUBJECTS OF TYRANNY!!!

[Bluenorthwest]

61. Not one of those folks

Not one of the 'hey not all Christians are like that' posters here to defend thier bretheren. No, not one.

[Jack Rabbit]

62. Well, I'm a Unitarian, but I'll take that up.

Let me ponder the premise that all Christians are intolerant and hateful for a second.
