If you’ve ever wondered why paranoid-delusional righties like the Orb get so angry and/or pants-wetting-frightened at the words of people like me, it might be because they actually believe the hateful demagoguery spewing from the likes of Ann Coulter, who may or may not have been joking when she recently absurdly claimed that “all political violence is committed by the left in this country.”
That’s right, the abortion doctor killer? A lefty. The Holocaust Museum shooter? A lefty. Timothy McVeigh? A lefty. The assassins of President Kennedy, his brother Robert, and Martin Luther King Jr., apparently, lefties all, at least, according to Coulter, who astutely points out that Harvey Milk’s killer was a Democrat. Case closed.
That’s why the same righties who passionately celebrate gun-toting teabaggers as patriotic defenders of the 2nd Amendment, soil their undies at the mere thought of self-avowed liberals publicly displaying firearms. They actually believe we’re dangerous. That’s why they’re arming themselves. To protect themselves against us.
Cowards.

Rabbit surely knows that not every Republican is a goatfucking Nazi and that not every Nazi is a Republican goatfucker, but he says it anyway. Coulter surely knows that about one out of every one million acts of political violence is committed by a wayward right-winger trying to vamp as a violent left-winger.
Fat Rabbit and Coulter know these things because they’re totally on the same page. On Friday Coulter affirmed that Hillary, not John McCain, was her candidate in 2008. Just like fat Rabbit.
Rabbit and Coulter were Hillary cheerleaders in sexy little dresses. That figures because, way back in the day, Hillary and Rabbit were Goldwater Girls.

IF you consider the civil war, the efforts of reactionary racist whites after the civil war to do away with democracy in the confederacy and institute jim crow, the centuries and decades of violence against blacks, this is not only an incorrect statement but a deliberate and knowing lie. In Louisiana they actually threw over a reconstruction legislature thru violence of the right. Add in assassinations of MLK and JFK and RFK and the Chilean diplomat, the use of violence by the CIA in other nations, and certain right wing’s arguments for illegal torture today, and you find that to say violence is evenhanded is also false.
Specifically, to suggest that one of “one million acts of political violence is committed by a wayward right-winger” is historically false; there have been tides and tides of constant violence by right wingers designed to suppress African Americans and unions and other causes, going back centuries. There weren’t 20,000 lynching of right wingers by left wingers in the USA but there were tens of thousands of acts of violence — political violence — against blacks who dared to try to own property or build a business or cast a vote or even walk down the street. Today beating up African Americans is fortunately more rare but we still have beatings of gay folks just for being out, and destruction of Jewish property via swastikas, murders of folks at the JFA offices, and so on.
This is all taken collectively 99.0% right wing violence. It’s been pervasive in our history. Denying that by trying to say it’s rare and it’s been equal, does violence to the truth.

@5 Seems you’re trying to put a lot of eggs in the same basket there. At least back in the 60’s when I took high school history they taught us that the Reconstruction made a bad situation worse because of the “carpetbaggers” and general corruption on top of a mindset during Grant’s presidency that southern whites hadn’t yet been adequately punished. The KKK rose largely to combat all that–not unlike what happened in Germany after World War I.
Racism isn’t the only motivation for right-wing excess, and to my mind is being used as a cover for what’s really more generalized class warfare, and an effort to maintain some sort of “American empire”. That’s really what the CIA is all about.

Reconstruction violence: Reconstruction was a Republican attempt to stop Democrats from lynching blacks, Republicans, and black Republicans. The high-tech lynching of Clarence Thomas by sensitive progressive Democrats was a modern variation on that theme.
Inconvenient truths: Democrat Woodrow Wilson resegregated the executive branch after TR and Taft scrubbed the color line that Democrat Cleveland put in place. Republican Harding’s attempt to pass an anti-lynching bill was beaten back by Democrats. Democrat FDR refused to antagonize his racist party by backing an anti-lynching bill. Republican Eisenhower desegregated Washington D.C. Eisenhower deliberately appointed Earl Warren to the Supreme Court to push through unanimity on Brown v. Board of Education. Eisenhower sidestepped unreconstructed Democrats (who used posse comitatus as a bludgeon against federal interference in Democrat racism) and sent the 101st to Little Rock. Eisenhower pushed through the first civil-rights acts since Reconstruction (although LBJ stripped out enforcement provisions.)

Keep hearing (from Stephanie Miller) that Goldwater would not recognize or would repudiate the incivility-right of 2009. Maybe. Barry took a libertarian lurch late in life (told Gingrich to shut up; stood up for military gays who shoot straight), but that was only after he hooked up with a frisky young wife.
Anybody paying attention in 1964 totally knows, though, that 1964 — not 2008/2009 — was the bottom of the cesspool of incivility and defamation. Dan Schorr said Jewish Episcopalian Goldwater liked to pal around with the Waffen SS. No-name shrinks who never met Goldwater said he was too nuts to be president. Most of the left waid Barry was a Bircher. Most of the rest of the left said he was a brain-dead Nazi. Drunk LBJ wiretapped Goldwater’s campaign plane … but nobody dared to call it Watergate.
In fact, 1964 was so uncivil it was almost as bad as 1860 or 1800. Even Al Smith in 1928 was treated with more respect than Goldwater in 1964.

The elevation of hate mongers, outrageous demagogues and paranoid hysterics like Limbaugh, Beck, Coulter, and Savage has an important dual effect. Sure it stirs the hillbillies and angry white males. Gets ’em all whipped up and ready to do some gun tottin’ and teabaggin’. But it also makes fiercely right wing, social program cutting, tax and jail the poor, Reagan/John Birch conservatives like Dave Reichert appear moderate. And just so long as the media continue to embrace and promote the notion of this hysteria being isolated to a small fringe of the far right, it has worked and will continue to work. Guilt by association only works for Democrats. So sayeth the beltway media elites.
In fact, not only do the media elite immunize the leadership of the GOP from any taint by association with this kind of violent craziness and race hatred, they actually grant them a significant benefit from it. See how reasonable they appear, in their custom tailored dark blue suit, red necktie, and flag lapel pin, calmly denouncing any credit given to the idea of government serving the people.

Check Gregg Easterbrook’s comments re Norman Borlaug, Daddy. Posted excerpts here, but the full-frontal eulogy is at the Rupert Journal, last Wednesday.
Borlaug saved Mexico, India, and Pakistan from the detonation of the population bomb that Paul “bugs” Ehrlich predicted in 1968. Then Borlaug, with Rockefeller Foundatins funding, started to save Africa.
Overfed American left-wing green activists in plush Park Ave offices libbied Rockefeller to defund Borlaug because his agronomy used fertilizer.
Bottom line: Millions of dusky dark Africans starved and starve to death because leftist fanatics like you shrieked that starvation is more sustainable than nitrogenous fertilizer.

It’s how the left has played its game since about 1948 when Nixon bagged Hiss as a commie spy. The left’s compliant media whitewashed Woodrow Wilson’s war against radical dissent, and began the history meter at a moment when WASP Hiss was inconvenienced by the inconvenient truth.
Then the left backdated McCarthyism, applying the McCarthy epithet to Democrat abridgements of civil rights (1940 Smith Act, Truman’s loyalty oaths) that happened years before McCarthy grabbed his 15 minutes.
Historian Richard Hofstadter, reacting to Goldwater in 1964, started pewling about the right’s paranoid style as if Hiss and the KGB infiltration of the New Deal/Fair Deal never happened. As if only paranoia could explain a growing populist insurgency against the media’s elitist leftist worldview.

As Kennedy desgregated federal public Housing, and Johnson muscled through Congress and signed the Kennedy initiatives the Voting Rights Act and the Civil Rights Act.
Really, what is true NOW is that the Republican Party and the Democratic Party of one hundred fifty or one hundred years ago are not comparable to the parties of today, and the die-hard segregationists who used to be in the Democoratic Party have now found a welcome home in the Republican Party.

Truman did not desegregate the military. That was done by Eisenhower, as chief of staff for his own service, and later as president when he forced recalcitrant service-branches to follow through. Truman, to his credit, issued a directive. To his discredit he was a weak-kneed sob sister about folowing through.
JFK and housing? You really don’t want to get into JFK’s weakness as a leader. Like Truman he made bold pronouncements (“At the stroke of a pen,” said candidate JFK, he’d do the right thing) but then he totally bled out when the time came. Even being deluged with thousands of pens by angry activists couldn’t get him to follow through. Perhaps that’s why he treid to intimidate MLK into calling off the 1963 March on Washington. And maybe that explains shy JFK approved the wiretapping of MLK.

@18 There’s a case to be made for the possibility that Borlaug’s efforts merely staved off the inevitable in a few third-world countries, while being of little benefit in Africa where the logistics didn’t work out as well. Mexico in fact simultaneously developed its own oil fields, which provided both feedstocks for nitrogen fertilizer and fuel for mechanized farming. In any case, producing more food no doubt contributed to continuing population growth and industrialization (freeing more of the population from the constant struggle to feed themselves, so they could do other things). Removal of one set of limits merely allows growth until some other limit gets in the way.

As for Nixon and Jews, Nixon’s anti-Semitic comments were just realpolitic. Jews then and now were almost totally in the Democrat tank. Give Nixon credit for getting good work, most of the time, from Kissinger and Ben Stein’s dad.

rhp6033 spews:
Dang, I’ll give credit where it’s due, like for Eisenhower enforcing the Supreme Court ruling to desegretate the Little Rock school system. But I’m not sure this was because he was an ardent supporter of civil rights, then he was pretty adamant during WWII about enforcing segregation within the military. When U.S. forces in Europe were suffering acute manpower shortages during the Battle of the Bulge and they were combing the rear areas for every cook and paper-pusher who could carry a gun (and executing Eddie Slovack as an example to other deserters), Eisenhower refused requests to turn segregated units of black soldiers serving as laborers to be turned into infantrymen. I guess he didn’t think we needed grunts THAT badly.
But don’t dis Truman’s segregation of the military. It was a wildly unpopular move within the military, which was dominated by a corps of southern professional officers. Despite this, Truman moved forward, and made some good initial progress, until Eisenhower took over and continued the work.
My own father was a 2nd Lt. in Korea during the war in the Corps of Engineers, who was assigned to a newly integrated engineer company. Because he was a southern officer from deep Alabama, his commander assumed that he could “make the n*****s work”, which had frustrated previous officers. What my father found was that the black soldiers resented doing the physical labor while their white counterparts watched and “managed”.
My father, however, didn’t fit the mold expected by others. He had worked in construction alongside blacks throughout the depression, and respected anyone that worked hard. During the summer of 1945 he even worked for the Alabama Power and Light Company digging holes for power poles – by hand in the blazing Alabama sun – as the only white kid on an otherwise all-black crew.
So after watching some black soldiers listessly dig at a ditch for about a half-hour, he stripped off his shirt, climbed into a hole, and started swinging a mattock. Then he started singing: “Never get rich….”clink”, “digging a ditch”…”clink”. (I remember that song from him working on projects on our home growing up).
Anyway, long story short, the blacks realized he knew what he was doing, he wasn’t afraid to crack a sweat, and couldn’t be BS’d. The whites realized they weren’t getting any special priviledges, and within the hour they were digging as well.
And that all happened during the Truman administration.

But the point remains: New Deal/Great Society transfers are trickling up, not down. Gen X and Gen Y, poorer than fanatically voting old people, are giving their labor to disproportionatly enhance the wealth of the wealthy.

BTW, that’s Miskito and in addition to killing (conservatively) 2,000 citizens through torture or just plain murder in a few month period after the coup, Pinochet brought his country massive inflation, massive defecit from military spending, surging unemployement and a staggering decline in currency value.
Only a douchebag could look at Pinochet’s time of power and declare it anything but an abject disaster.

Stupes..
YLB spews:
70 – Naaaahh.. That’s the HNMT aka the Hating Name Morphing Troll.
He’s claimed that genocide canard of the Miskitos forever. Never once pointed to credible documentation when challenged.
A Pinochet lover? No greater lover of Pinochet than his own stupid self. When he put his rule to a vote, the people voted him out. Must have been a bit of a rude shock for the old international terrorist and authoritarian despot.

The Miskito Coast spews:
The documentary makes specific charges: 49 Miskito villages along the Coco River were burned down by Sandinista soldiers; 65 bombs were dropped on six villages in 11 days. Miskitos, speaking in translation, tell tales of horror: people hanged, machine-gunned and burned. ”Oh my, it is so bad,” says an elderly man on the verge of tears. ”Just like there was no God.” Consider now the possibility that the Miskitos are lying or exaggerating their oppression. A Miskito pastor, presumably a Moravian (the Moravians have a long history among the Miskitos), says, for example, that Sandinista soldiers tied up members of his church and set them on fire. Do we believe an atrocity story like that or not?That’s from the New York Times. The conservative Republican New York Times. So, try this:
He says the Sandinistas probably have killed tens of thousands of Indiana of the Miskito, Sumu and Rama tribes, some 35000 of whom have fled north … That’s from neocon Russel Means.

The only good news about leftist authoritarian despotism is that the despots do finally get voted out by death. Then they get to go meet all the good people they killed.
In Castro’s first hundred days he re-educated about 500 good Cubans with a bullet to the brain. That’s why he’s a left-wing wet dream. That’s why you people made a little god of a little monster.

YLB spews:
Hmmm.. The Means article says the number of Miskito remaining in Nicaragua during the trouble was about 130,000. The Time article says the Miskitos top out at 110,000.
And if you are claiming that Means is a lefty, the old newspaper article has him saying something that would make old Ronnie smile.
These articles date from the age of Raygun. Surely this subject has been examined in better detail at some distance by someone with some better credentials.
And the Times is reporting what some film maker is saying. What is the provenance of the film? Wrong wing with a political axe to grind is quite likely knowing you.
You got a long way to go before you prove your charges.
But I don’t expect convincing proof from you. We’ve gotten nothing but overheated, pseudo-clever phrasing and inchoate rage from you.

@77
Wait, Magaret Thatcher praised the implementation of Reagonomics? Shocking!
Also from Wikipedia…
“From an economic point of view, the era can be divided into two periods. The first, from 1973 to 1982, corresponds to the period when most of the reforms were implemented. The period ended with the international debt crisis and the collapse of the Chilean economy. At that point, unemployment was extremely high, above 20 percent, and a large proportion of the banking sector had become bankrupt.”
Cut for fair use…
“Pinochet’s policies eventually led to substantial GDP growth, in contrast to the negative growth seen in the early years of his administration under the advice of the Chicago boys. The upper 20% of income earners ultimately benefitted the most from such growth, receiving 85% of the increase [39]. Foreign debt also grew substantially under Pinochet, rising 300% between 1974 and 1988.
Under these new policies, the rate of inflation grew to twice what it was at the peak of Allende’s presidency[40] It was not until Pinochet reversed these policies and returned to the developmentalist style economy in the mid 1980’s did the economy begin to turn around.”
Hmmm…85% of income increases in the country went to 20% (the oligarchy) of the population. No wonder Thatcher liked that thriving, free-market economy.
Green Czar spews:
33: Borlaug got into China after the glorious genocidal cultural revolution. Under Mao it was a starving nation. After Borlaug, it wasn’t.
Thatcher Milk Snatcher spews:
Thatcher saved Britain from union-boss oligarchy. Reagan saved America from Carter. Pinochet saved Chile from becoming another utopian paradise like Stalin’s, Mao’s, Pol Pot’s, Kim Il Sung’s, or Castro’s.
The main difference is a difference of degree … Pinochet’s small bodycount vs. the deaths of millions under the leftists. Of the list above, only Castro kept his bodycount in the mere thousands, near Pinochet’s. Yet guess who allowed himself to get voted out and guess who just keeps hanging on, never having to worry about being hauled up on charges before the World Court.
czechsaaz spews:
BTW, if you want a real lefty’s take on the Miskitu (Misktito)

AIM and the Jayson Blair Times spews:
Left-right taxonomy gets complicated, YLB. But trust me, having been on the rez back when AIM was in session: Russell Means was not a Republican church lady.
But, unlike you, he probably wasn’t a braindead “progressive,” either.
Strange that you keep resetting the bar about ancient history. Suddenly the NYT is a source, or a film reviewer, you don’t like. So show us something better. Bring it, bitch.
Miskito Coast spews:
Since the Miskito/Miskitu/Misktito genocide was ~20 years ago, that’s why we have 20-year-old sources. Hundreds more to choose from, some more recent. Knock yourself out.
YLB spews:
Not much hair left on that scalp is there HNMT?
No love for Castro from these quarters, no sir. I’m a bit skeptical of Chavez as well. Danny Ortega is Prez of Nicaragua last I looked and no I’m not a big fan. The Southern Hemisphere is a bit overrun with lefties these days from Bachelet (a Pinochet torture victim) to whoever is running Ecuador – just shut down a U.S. military outpost there I hear.
Keep it coming though HNMT. All that hate must mean cheap winter heating bills
ACORNdog spews:
YLB’s suddenly very picky about sourcing. He challenged me once on the alleged billions of tax dollars going to ACORN, and hnmt quickly conceded that Bachmann’s billions were an unsupportable assertion. ACORN’s take probably didn’t climb out of the mere millions.
And every single one of those millions of dollars was a million too much. Still waiting for YLB to admit it.
YLB spews:
For the loyal, sycophantic and well-connected few I’m sure it was just lovely. It usually is under fascist rule.
Nice try. You made the serious charge of genocide. The burden is yours. If you’re so sure of it, file a complaint against the perps in International Court – it might even deflect from the coming indictment of your beloved torture squad led by Sith Lord Cheney.
Hot for you, YLB spews:
Will do, little brother/sister. Why don’t we just go to Honduras and call the whole thing off? (But let me bring my scalping knife … sure you look real good in red.)
Hot for you, YLB spews:
True confession: Genocide is a neologism. Yes, I used the word because many sources (Google this string: Miskito genocide Sandinista) use the word. Hundreds of sources. Thousands.
Let’s shift the burden of proof to you. Define genocide, then tell me why the Sandinista’s war on the Miskitos wasn’t genocide.
As for Chile’s concentration of wealth among the top 20% … My understanding of leftist Soviet-style nomenklatura oligarchy is that wealth got concentrated among about the top 1%. By that standard, Pinchet was a redistributionist democrat.
czechsaaz spews:
“{Pinochet} allowed himself to get voted out and guess who just keeps hanging on, never having to worry about being hauled up on charges before the World Court.”
Dead. Been dead since 2006. Indicted, arrested in London, returned to Chile and placed under house arrest, stripped of his claim to immunity by Chile’s Supreme Court, charged with multiple counts of kidnapping, torture and murder but died before trial.
YLB spews:
Whaaa???? A right wing troll’s olfactory sense in working order? Someone wake me up!
No. no.. This can’t be the same HNMT who was as beguiled as the rest of ’em with Hannah Giles’ micro miniskirt and James’ spiffy pimp out to the max.
That holiest of holy exposes itself claimed at the end that most sacrosanct of 8.5 billion dollars. The HNMT BLASPHEMES the most unassailable of right wing “truth”. Say it ain’t so HNMT.

Commanding Heights from PBS is a good reason, the only reason, to keep PBS. It’s a free-market anthem, made in 2002, and would be less triumphalist if made in 2008 or 2009.
Still, it’s useful to remember what a mess Carter and Keynes made of things back in their day.

Hot hate for you, YLB spews:
Typed it at the time. About two minutes after typing the Bachmann 8-billion overdrive and about one minute after having you challenge me to provide incontrobertible proof.
Quick check showed no proof. Said so. Minced no words.
Hot hate for you, YLB spews:
Was it slam-dunk genocide like Stalin’s? ~30 million dead? Genocide like Mao’s ~60 million dead? Like Hitler’s 6+ million dead? Pol Pot’s ~2 million dead?
Were there even as many dead Miskitos as there were dead Cubans from Castro or Chileans from Pinchet?
Don’t really know. Neither do you. Yet many sources use the word genocide for what Ortega’s Sandinistas did to his people, so I will too. So can you.

The Sandinistas attempted to move the Miskitos to what they considered were better and more modern conditions — but the Indians resisted.
There are many articles on the problems these people have faced over hundreds of years of contact with European cultures.
BUT: Only right wing think tanks (like the Heritage Foundation) have attempted to characterize this sort of conflict between the Miskitos and a left wing government as a primary feature of left leaning governments.
Forcibly removing indigeanous native populations is something European cultures have been doing long before Karl Marx was but a gleam in his father’s universally owned eye.
Bad History has an ax to grind and little breadth of view to impart.
Maybe all the Miskitos needed was a tax break?

Coulter said all violence was left wing – she lied or is stoopid. Puddy is trying to defend Coulter by showing a few trivial examples that she was right but he doesn’t understand that a single counter example can refute her stoopid argument (and there are many counter-examples as has been shown).
Puddy is irrelevant and still thinks the democratic party contains the racists (who are now located in the Republican party, along with the ignorant, the anti-communists (still living in the 50’s), the “govenrment is “bad” simpletons (they love the banking crisis) and the just plain bigoted) ….he is living pre-1964 and civil rights act.

“Torture” is as strrrrrretchable as “genocide.” Somewhere, in one of the treaties or conventions cited by Darryl, the United States is allegedly bound by language that prevents us from causing discomfort to our guests. That’s why, several years ago, leftists assured us that Gitmo detainees were being tortured with Christina Aguilera tunes.
Question for Darryl: How deeply are we into the violation of Najibullah Zazi’s rights? Did Eric Holder’s DOJ’s FBI invade Zazi’s inviolate (that’s a Goldy word) right to privacy? Was Zazi’s inviolate right to free expression abridged? Did Obama and Holder permit the interception and violation of Zazi’s calls and communications with associates in Pakistan? At a time when Zazi lived in the United States? Inquiring minds want to know. So should you and the ACLU.
