Bachman Is Whipping Tea Baggers Into A FROTHING VIOLENT FRENZY

[Beetwasher]

And then unleashing them on the Capitol.

Her rhetoric is filled with urgent intimations of desperate violence.

She's really, really close to the line if not over it to incitement. We'll see what happens today, but it seems she's really pushing the envelope here and consciously stoking the fires in order to create some sort of incident.

1. That's good..

The Capitol police don't play...look for some arrests..

[lame54]

2. that is probably what she is hoping for...

to sucker in some martyrs

[Froward69]

8. Inciting a riot

is a felony isn't it?

[Bolo Boffin]

9. I wonder if she could claim that she's on her way to her office

and therefore immune from being arrested? What's that law the old toe-tapper invoked?

[NYC_SKP]

3. I can haz video of the madness?

Maybe it'll be youtubed.

[kentuck]

4. She's not alone...

Right-wing talk radio is on the verge of telling people to kill their opponents. Take their guns to town and scare the hell out of the Democrats. Don't let them take over "their" country. And they have a lot of sheep willing to be led to the slaughter.

5. are you watching this somewhere? nt

[griffi94]

6. while i don't doubt that they're frothing

and while i try to never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups, i really don't expect this to be anything but more fodder for the faithful over at fox.
for all the loony rights buying of bullets and waving of banners as soon as it starts to get hot the majority of the rw rambos will skulk back to their computers where it's safe.

[underseasurveyor]

15. But it only takes one.

And they're all loose cannons anyway. There's always one, usually a sit-back quiet type-you know the kind that holds everything in, ready to martyr themselves for the greater cause.

The loud mouths are the ones I don't worry about too much.

[BrklynLiberal]

7. I sincerely hope that as in the case with most evil people who create monsters, her

creation will turn on her and make her very sorry she created it.

[FSogol]

10. Exactly. Even the dopiest of her follows should realize that she could be creating

bills to address their concerns instead of herding morons to attack her opponents. Or do I expect to much out of her Rubes?

[Brundle_Fly]

11. I totally agree.

Bachman has been irresponsible and borderline evil in her obvious invoking of stupidity.

If it goes bad, we need to speak up.

[graywarrior]

12. I'm sick of out-of-control, mentally ill hate mongers having this type of power

Seriously, open up the institutions again. She needs to be in one along with her hate filled constituents.

[AllieB]

17. 'Mentally ill' is the operative phrase here.

We can blame Reagan for letting them out, and our crappy health care system for not getting these people the help that they need. This includes Bachmann.

[krabigirl]

20. Hey, don't disparage mentally ill people by equating them with this ogre.

[graywarrior]

26. I knew that was coming.

14. Is this how she thinks government works?

I think the Department Of Law should come down on her, and hard.

[AllieB]

16. This only serves to alienate the rest of the country from the whacko fringe.

If any violence occurs, the teabagger movement and the RW politicians who participate will go the way of the Whigs.

[T Wolf]

18. Just like the anti-choice thugs suffered for Dr. Tiller's murder? Just like the anti-healthcare

mobs that rioted and threatened their Congresspeople? Just like the Fuck Nuze cretins who have driven how many? administration nominees and appointees out?

Haven't you realized that their tactics succeed?

[gordianot]

19. The most likely person to be shot by an armed mob is law enforcement.

Last time they said "Next time we will bring our guns" a mistake of enormous proportions.

[Jester Messiah]

21. She won't be happy until there's blood.

And then she'll be "shocked and horrified" that her words were "misinterpreted."

[Beaverhausen]

22. Remember, she is not the organizer of this event. It's an Americans for Prosperity thing

They are just using her as their mouthpiece. and probably paying her handsomely for it.

[JNelson6563]

23. She is a horrible human being

She makes me wish there was a hell.

[bbernardini]

24. 1,000 people, huh? So that's what, about 2.3 million when you count in Base T(eabagger), right?

Something like that, I think. I don't have a calculator handy to do the conversion.

[Cleita]

27. I wish one of her colleagues would inform her that she is very close

to committing treason. Calling for people to be freedom fighters is calling for revolution and that means overthrowing the government by violent means. I have heard White Supremacists unabashedly calling for this in the same words and they are unapologetic about calling for overthrowing the US government. They know exactly what they are saying. Is she one too? If she is, then Congress should investigate and impeach her.

[Jester Messiah]

29. Hmm... wonder what it would take to bring charges?

Imagine the coup if we could take her down.

[Subdivisions]

28. Good. Then those who are present at the rally will have to

either follow their leaders and begin a revolt or they will go away worthless and cowards who are able to make alot of noise but lack the cajones to back it up. I heard someone order them to "sieze the Hill" and occupy it. Can't wait to see that. :eyes:
