Military coup fantasy is latest in trend of extremist right-wing rhetoric

[Mick Jagger]

Continuing a trend of increasingly violent and revolutionary rhetoric advanced by conservative media figures, Newsmax columnist John Perry wrote that President Obama "is inviting" a military coup and detailed the reasons he said officers might support such a "[m]ilitary intervention" with the end result being one in which "killed, military-trained, nation-builders would replace accountability-challenged, radical-left commissars." On the same day, radio host Jim Quinn told armed service members to "run for your life, get out," because Obama "is gonna get you killed."

So I guess the radicals on the right are on obscure radio stations-
in contrast, the radicals on the left are employed by the White House.

Again, it's interesting that in a week where leftists trashed Pittsburgh, they blew up radio towers- the media is focusing on a manufactured threat of "violence" from people who simply want to preserve the country and the constitution, and prevent the irresponsible policies of this administration from going forward.

What do you think will happen if the dollar crashes, Jaggerbot?
Do you realize how likely that is to happen right now?

BTW- stop posting crap from mediamatters.
If anyone wants to read that misleading propaganda, they're free to go there on their own.

people who simply want to preserve the country

Dude, the far right wing whack jobs want to destroy the socialist/progressive institutions that make us a great nation: and bring back the days of laissez faire when America's children swept the trash and filth from city streets, stood for hours on street corners hawking newspapers, coughed constantly through 10-hour shifts in dark, damp coal mines or sweated to the point of dehydration while tending fiery glass-factory furnaces - all to stoke the profit margins of evil industrialists whose own well fed children sat comfortably at school desks gleaning moral principles from their McGuffey Readers.

Then let's have that debate out in the open.
Because, other than you, no one supporting these programs or in government are vocally stating that these government programs are socialist.

Do you want to have a debate about the merits of socialism, fine. Let's have it. Nationally, in public. Everything out in the open.
No more stealth indoctrination, no more incrementalism, no more lies.

But it's immoral to support government programs that are misrepresented to the public. And by your very admission, that is precisely what the government is and has been doing.

If the socialism you speak of has been so effective and helped the country so much, then it should be an easy argument for you, shouldn't it? Then why aren't we having it? With the exception of yours, why are all the defenders of this administration and federal policy so vehemently argue to the contrary. One of you is wrong, or one of you is lying.

And you're use of fictional turn of the century, industrial revolution black imagery not only demonstrates you lack of economic understanding, but your ability to be manipulated by leftist propaganda.

Then let's have that debate out in the open.

Dude, we're doing that right now.

The proposition is: There are far right wing whack jobs who want to destroy the socialist/progressive institutions that make us a great nation.

Dude, we are doing that right now.

You've demonstrated that you're not capable of really having that debate, but that's besides the point. As I stated, the country is not having that debate because those who share the opinion you are expressing are not stating their position as definitively as you are. They are representing their agenda as anything BUT socialist.

They have even tried to argue that the health care bill relies of free market reform and competition. Yet, even you, recognize that it's about government control and nationalizing the industry.
