Twitter users call for assassination of Gov. Scott Walker
examiner.com ^ | 2/21/2011 | Joe Newby

Posted on 02/22/2011 6:21:00 AM PST by FredJake

A video posted at The Blaze shows - once again - what passes for civil discourse among progressives, especially on the social networking site Twitter.

'lauren_2121' wrote "i hope scott walker dies. someone please shoot him?!"

'McGee12' tweeted "Everyone say it with SCOTT WALKER MUST DIE"

User 'jritsynme' wrote "He is the devil and deserves 2 be shot!!!"

Many more similar messages are shown in the 1.5 minute video.

One of the most disturbing is a tweet by user 'J_Shack' who wrote "Scott walker cut food stamps its over he gettin assassinated..!"

After the Tucson shootings that left Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords fighting for her life, users on Twitter sent similar messages wishing for the death of Sarah Palin.

Very little coverage was given to this by the mainstream media, who was busy trying to blame the Tea Party, Glenn Beck, clip art and conservative speech for the tragic shootings.

This is outrageous! Libs will not be happy until they have started a full-fledged civil war in this country. Where's the media? Where are the authorities?

I guess all those liberals screaming for civil discourse in the wake of the Giffords shooting never really learned the lessons, nor took them to heart.

The threats to "crack heads" are unlikely to be honestly covered
by PBS which led the charge (right, Jim?)

And where is Obama on this? Oh, silent of course. It's okay if liberals threaten conservatives, but conservatives get attacked if they use a common political phrase (i.e. when Sarah Palin said something about targeting certain Democrats in the last election cycle).

Obama should be ashamed, but liberals don't have the ability to feel shame, it appears.

This just means that the media will re-double its denunciation of the Tea Party. The Left are "the Good Guys" and we are "violent, hatefilled racists".

That's the script. Always has been.

It’s okay. These are liberals. They get to destroy us when we don’t even do the things they happily do. I’m expecting a medal of honor for these people!

The angrier and more overtly violent the Left becomes, the more the Right will be blamed. The stakes are getting higher by the day, as is the danger.

Silverback calls for these Twitter twits to be flogged in public.

Oh, and make them make their own whip like the Royal Navy used to do. Same punishment, of course, for any “conservative” who calls for the assassination of an elected official.

The media is with them. And, as far as civil war coming, so be it. The time has come to shut these vermin down. The left prides itself in diversity but that is only if you are a deviate. Homosexuals, lesbians, pedophiles, sadists, murders, terrorists all have a place at their table but God does not. They have no moral barometer, no moral conscience. They are sick and perverted and they need to have others of like mind to validate them. Whatever it takes to rid us of these parasites we must do including, of course, God the father's intervention.

It was never about civility. It was about silencing their opposition and demonizing entire segments of society.

Ever notice that people who hold an untenable position in an otherwise reasonable debate see the only way to win the debate is to kill the opposition? I always thought if you truly have a better argument, people would naturally gravitate to your side. Wait a minute...you don’t suppose this means the Left might actually be wrong, do you?

Isn’t it illegal or something to threaten to kill someone?

Obama wants this civil unrest, then he can declare Martial Law & take over, which has been their plan from day one!

That radio station just said the protesters are claiming “freedom of speech” for them, but NOT for us!
