Read List Of Violence Voiced By Conservative Republicans
October 21, 2009
This is a partial list of the violence voiced by conservative Republicans over the past months. The same conservatives that claim to be ‘pro-family’ and ‘pro-life’ are in fact quite the opposite.
- Rep. Gregg Harper (R-MS) said, “We hunt liberal, tree-hugging Democrats, although it’s a waste of good ammunition.”
- During a GOP event at a gun range, South Florida Republican Robert Lowry fired at a target with the initials of his opponent, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, written on it.
- Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) said that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) would “bludgeon” blue dogs “to death” to get their votes for health care reform.
- A columnist for Newsmax, which has rented its email list to the Republican National Committee, promoted the possibility of a military coup against President Obama.
- Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK) told supporters, “We’re almost reaching a revolution in this country.”
- After a man brought an assault rifle to an Obama event, Rep. Phil Gingrey (R-GA) said people “should” bring guns to public meetings.
- Rep. Todd Akin (R-MO) joked about Democratic members who “almost got lynched” at town hall meetings.
- At an anti-health care reform event, protestors hung an effigy of Rep. Frank Kratovil (D-MD)
- Rep. Michele Bachmann said conservatives need to “slit our wrists, become blood brothers” to make sure health care reform doesn’t pass.
- Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison’s (R-TX) former press secretary wrote a column favorably comparing the Tea Parties to “Project Mayhem” — a fictional terrorist organization in the movie Fight Club that blew up banks.
- Rep. Michele Bachmann said she wanted the American people “armed and dangerous” to fight cap-and-trade legislation.

Just saw on Count Us Out, a WordPress blog the list of violence against the Rethugs that supposedly has happened. Problem is most of it is stuff done by looney toon sociopaths and psychopaths who belonged locked away, not broadcasters and politicians who belong locked away. Of course C.U.O. got wrong the fact Eric Cantor’s window wasn’t shot point blank, but on an angle-meaning the shooter had shot in the air from a distance away, as police have stated.
