Right Wing Violence is Chicken Shittery

When the Bush Junta was in the White House, waging total war on the whole damn world, I drove around a very Republican area of southern California with the bumper stickers you see here.

One crazy bitch tried to run me over when she saw me walking back to the car (we wound up on Judge Joe Brown for that one, when she sued be for an imaginary dent in her hood--I won). Another guy flagged me down, walked up to my open window, and sucker punched me in the face (I got out and kicked him in the nuts, and left him there writhing). I was flipped off, swerved at, threatened, pushed, and attacked on a regular basis for exercising my free speech. Despite the fact that I thought Bush was an illegal president, that he had broken many laws, and was, indeed, committing treason, not once did I ever physically attack any of his many supporters I came in contact with everyday.

I did fight back when attacked.

I gave the ones who just yelled a piece of my mind, and not once did a Bush supporter try to reason with me, or argue any kind of valid point. Almost every one of them said Saddam Hussein was in on 9-11. Many of them said we should nuke the whole Middle East. Almost all of them said I was a traitor for not supporting the president. Almost all of them threatened me with physical violence.

That is what they do. They make shit up and threaten people.

These are not good people. They have grown up in a macho world of testosterone driven debates in which might makes right. When they inevitably cannot argue with a well-reasoned argument, they get spit-spewing angry, they reach into the name calling talking points they started learning as children and kept getting fed by Dick Cheney, et al.

Dirty fucking hippy haters.

So, when I heard about the fellow in Tennessee yesterday, who had his car rammed by some wingnut fuck with tiny little steroid-soaked balls, a wave of sympathy for the guy surged through my fight impulse. I remembered the adreneline rush I got from those fights, and I wished I'd have been there, even in my diminished state from arthritis, to drag the mother fucker out of his SUV and kick his ass. It would be worth the subsequent week of pain to plant a well-clenched fist into his fascist mouth.

Now some folks say that fighting is always wrong, but I'm not that kind of liberal. I think that when you're attacked, you gotta fight back. Pacifism is for pussies. I respect the position, I just don't agree with it. And if any motherfucker wants to ram my car, kid in it or not, they're going to have to put up or shut up, because I have never, and will never, put up with assault. At the very least, I'd have the fuck arrested for his attempted murder, or assault with a deadly weapon, pick your charge.

But defend yourself and your kid first.

I was done trying to reason with these fuckers a long time ago. They cannot be reasoned with.

Anybody that is a global-warming denier at this point in time has got their head so deeply up their ass I’m not sure they could hear me.--James Cameron

 This applies to all of them, not matter what the subject. Their ears are all stopped up with shit that the irresponsible heads of their "party" have been feeding them about socialism and government takeovers of the economy (like the TARP funds by that noted socialist GW Bush). They cannot be reasoned with. Hell, I'd bet most of them have been guilty of terroristic threatening at least once in the miserable lives. How do you reason with that kind of chicken-shittery?

So, what's the answer? Well, ignore them when you can. Kick their asses when you have to. Keep speaking the truth to them loudly when you can, as other people around will see who the reasonable person is and lean toward the side of reason.

And reason, be it from the right or left, is the only thing that can lead us to answers. All the rest is just bullshit.

Blogswarm for Fair Use in Free Speech

The legal ramifications of this move by Disney to squelch fair use in free speech make this story noteworthy, but it also spotlights a dangerous disease rampaging through the right wing of this country, and that is hate speech which encourages violence as a way to settle disputes with liberals. Join the effort to cover this story so that ABC/Disney will be challenged for going after this blogger, Spocko, who is exercising his rights as a US citizen, but also to make sure that the hateful commentators are exposed for the disgusting, violence inciters that they are.

Of course, we can go after these assholes by targeting their advertisers, or by blog-swarming, or many other peaceful ways. I don't want to advocate violence against them. HOWEVER, I am for instant Karma, and I think if these bloodthirsty shits are so set in their ways that they want to call incitement to violence free speech, then I can take a few of their "conservative" points of view and beat them over their proverbial heads with them.

For example, they advocated blowing up all the mosques in Syria with cruise missiles while they're full of people praying. Of course they don't mention how they'll pay for it (cruise missiles costing millions each), but that goes without saying for wing-nuts. The instant Karma here would be for me to hope that some one blows up their church while they're praying in it. But I'm not going to hope that. I wouldn't want any innocent people to get hurt. What I do hope for, though, is for them to get stuck in Iraq with crappy body armor, in a shittily armored Hummer. Or, since they support everything the Bush administration does, I could just wish my old standard on them: I hope they get cancer, are refused marijuana to help with the pain, and just days before their cancerous organs explode, I hope they're denied the right to a dignified death and have to suffer through the cancer death, as Republicans have tried to force the people of Oregon to do, despite the fact that Oregon voters passed the death with dignity act.

Big difference between what they're doing and what I'm doing. In one case, these frumunder cheese eaters fantasized about putting NY Times editor Bill Keller in a malfunctioning electric chair. What has Bill Keller ever done to anyone? These people have supported a war that has cost hundreds of thousands of innocent lives. They support a president who says the law does not apply to him. They support policies of torture and murder. I do not. I only wish that these people get to experience a little of what they've wished on others. Maybe if they actually had to suffer a little in their delusional little lives, they'd think twice before wishing torture and murder on people.
