Myths Debunked - Liberals Should Be NICE to Conservatives

I should be nice to people who want me and other liberals to die, simply because we don't agree with their political views? There's a lot of hate speech against liberals in the right wing nut-o-sphere, but outright calls to kill us because of our political beliefs are the absolute worst. - Carolyn Kay

"Rachel, should we just kill all liberals? We should just kill all liberals." - Bill Shulz, Red Eye, 2-7-07, archived at News Hounds

"This is about people who support terrorists. You know, the ACLU and all these people are so concerned about the rights of these terrorists-maybe they should have been in the building 9/11, instead of all those decent Americans who were murdered by these people you are so interested in keeping their civil rights--Thank you."

"We need somebody to put rat poisoning in Justice Stevens' creme brulee," Coulter said. "That's just a joke, for you in the media."
– Associated Press, January 27, 2006 - You MUST listen to Air America Radio talk show host Mike Malloy’s rant about Ann’s hate speech (4:01 - Real, .mp3). Recorded from the White Rose Society archive.

On his September 14 radio show, Fox News host Bill O'Reilly publicly wished that Hurricane Katrina had flooded the United Nations building in New York. O'Reilly then added: "And I wouldn't have rescued them."

From one of the right wingers on my right-wing crazy mailing list, received on 9/13/05 (after Hurricane Katrina):

I HATE NEW YORK CITY MORE THAN I HATE AL QAEDA. HOW I LONG FOR THE ANNIHILATION OF THAT WICKED CITY. UNFORTUNATELY, I AM STILL... WAITING. DAMMIT!

"Al-Qaeda now knows that Homeland Security has squandered millions, perhaps billions in useless exercises and programs than have fallen flat when reality struck as in what has occurred in New Orleans and the Gulf Coast regions. A WMD attack must be coordinated and launched against two distinct targets, preferably East and West (Left) Coast cities. A nuke or two, even if low yield, will devastate America. A Hobbesian 'war of all against all' will emerge as the criminal, opportunistic, and seditious elements strike out. Expect heavily armed and infuriated conservatives to launch a cleansing war against the traitors. The armed will mow down the mostly unarmed segments, especially those elements that devoted forty-plus years to anti-American hatred to destroy this country. Should the likes of Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn, Michael Parenti, Michael Moore, Ward Churchill, Dennis[?] Raimondo, et al. act out their sedition in a just-nuked America, expect their bodies to be found shot full of holes. Expect gun battles at banks, food stores, ATMs, gas stations, and outside hospitals. Leftist professors will be strung up. It will be every man, woman, and child for themselves."
- Michael Calderon, posted on the Moonbat blog sponsored by David Horowitz's Frontpage Magazine, September 2, 2005 (quoted by Justin Raimondo in "A Death Threat", Anti-War.com, September 5, 2005)

"Joe Wilson has no right to complain. And I think people like Tim Russert and the others, who gave this guy such a free ride and all the media, they're the ones to be shot, not Karl Rove."
– Republican Congressman Peter King, on MSNBC’s "Scarborough Country", posted at Editor & Publisher, July 13, 2005

"[A]ny American that undermines that war, with our soldiers in the field, or undermines the war on terror, with 3,000 dead on 9-11, is a traitor. Everybody got it? Dissent, fine; undermining, you're a traitor. Got it? So, all those clowns over at the liberal radio network, we could incarcerate them immediately. Will you have that done, please? Send over the FBI and just put them in chains, because they, you know, they're undermining everything and they don't care, couldn't care less."
– Bill O’Reilly, June 20, 2005, archived at MediaMatters.org (O’Reilly, like most right wingnuts, can read minds. He and he alone knows who is dissenting and who is undermining.)

"In a May 17 radio broadcast, telephilosopher Bill O'Reilly fantasized unpleasantly that terrorists might 'grab' the Los Angeles Times editorial and opinion editor 'out of his little house and … cut his head off.'"
- Los Angeles Times, May 24, 2005, archived at Media Bistro

"Hang on, let me just tell you what I'm thinking. I'm thinking about killing Michael Moore, and I'm wondering if I could kill him myself, or if I would need to hire somebody to do it. No, I think I could. I think he could be looking me in the eye, you know, and I could just be choking the life out -- is this wrong? I stopped wearing my What Would Jesus -- band -- Do, and I've lost all sense of right and wrong now. I used to be able to say, 'Yeah, I'd kill Michael Moore,' and then I'd see the little band: What Would Jesus Do? And then I'd realize, 'Oh, you wouldn't kill Michael Moore. Or at least you wouldn't choke him to death.' And you know, well, I'm not sure."
– Right-wing radio talk show host Glenn Beck, May 17, 2005, reported by Media Matters for America.

"If I had one dirty bomb ... I could eliminate all the liberals in Fresno at once."
- Right-wing Fresno (CA) City Council member Jerry Duncan, quoted in the Fresno Bee, August 15, 2003

"We need to execute people like John Walker in order to physically intimidate liberals by making them realize that they could be killed, too."
- Ann Coulter, 2002, as quoted by Reason.com.

"My only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times building."
- Ann Coulter, 2002, in a New York Observer interview, as quoted by American Politics Journal

"Chelsea is a Clinton. She bears the taint; and though not prosecutable in law, in custom and nature the taint cannot be ignored. All the great despotisms of the past - I'm not arguing for despotism as a principle, but they sure knew how to deal with potential trouble - recognized that the families of objectionable citizens were a continuing threat. In Stalin's penal code it was a crime to be the wife or child of an 'enemy of the people'. The Nazis used the same principle, which they called Sippenhaft, 'clan liability'. In Imperial China, enemies of the state were punished 'to the ninth degree': that is, everyone in the offender's own generation would be killed, and everyone related via four generations up, to the great-great-grandparents, and four generations down, to the great-great-grandchildren, would also be killed. (This sounds complicated, but in practice what usually happened was that a battalion of soldiers was sent to the offender's home town, where they killed everyone they could find, on the principle neca eos omnes, deus suos agnoscet - 'let God sort 'em out'.)
