Leftist cartoonist Ted Rall calls for violent revolution on MSNBC

Wow, the hypocrisy is off the charts with this video. Especially at the 4:20 mark where this guy quotes John Locke! MSNBC and many lefties were absolutely wet the bed blabbering about “sedition” whenever anyone on the right spoke in these terms.  Now here is this ding a ling saying the exact same things.  The only reason why they are comfortable with this type of talk is because the end result will be socialism.

Ted Rall isn’t just flirting with the call for violence in this video.  In his book the Anti American Manifesto, he openly calls for it.

Verum Serum: Ted Rall has a new book out titled The Anti-American Manifesto. In it he makes an explicit call for a violent socialist revolution from within. In case you think this is all a big joke, here’s an excerpt from the book:

We are here because the U.S. is going to end soon. There’s going to be an intense, violent, probably haphazard struggle for control. It’s going to come down to us versus them. The question is: What are you going to do about it?…

Christian fundamentalists, the millennial end-of-theworlders obsessed with the Left Behind series about the End Times, neo-Nazi racists, rural black-helicopter Michigan Militia types cut from the same inbred cloth as Timothy McVeigh, allied with “mainstream” gun nuts and right-wing Republicans, have been planning, preparing, and praying for the destruction of the “Godless,” “secular” United States for decades. In the past, they formed groups like the John Birch Society and the Aryan Nations. Now the hard Right has a postmodern, decentralized non-organization organization called the Tea Party.

Right-wing organizational names change, but they amount to the same thing: the reactionary sociopolitical force—the sole force—poised to fill the vacuum when collapse occurs. The scenario outlined by Margaret Atwood’s prescient novel The Handmaid’s Tale—rednecks in the trenches, hard military men running things, minorities and liberals taken away and massacred, setting the stage for an even more extreme form of laissez-faire corporate capitalism than we’re suffering under today—is a fair guess of how a post-U.S. scenario will play out unless we prepare to turn it in another direction…

A war is coming. At stake: our lives, the planet, freedom, living. The government, the corporations, and the extreme right are prepared to coalesce into an Axis of Evil. Are you going to fight back? Will you do whatever it takes, including taking up arms?…

The millions of partisans who follow Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, and right-wing televangelists happen to be the best-armed people around, and they despise just about everyone who doesn’t think and pray like them. They will see collapse as affirmation of their beliefs that secular liberalism is destructive. They will also see it as an opportunity to create a new, ordered world atop the ashes. They will act to stop teenage sluts from getting abortions, teach niggers a lesson, and slaughter those spics, dots, and everyone else who doesn’t fit into their vision of what and who is right…

I want to kick people in the ass. To get them thinking. To get you thinking. I want you to understand the situation—your situation. I want you to see that revolt is a good idea, and that it has never been more necessary. I also want you to size up the opposition (both the government and 28 The Anti-American Manifesto the extreme right): They will never get weaker.We have as good a chance at taking them on as ever.

That’s a small sample of chapter one. He’s not kidding. He wants a war. He even uses al Qaeda sleeper cells as an example. […]

Something the left might want to think about before they consider Ted Rall’s advice.  First, the left is grossly outnumbered in this country.  Those who would revolt for socialism probably account for less than 20%.  Second, those place that would be friendly to the idea of revolting for socialism have long ago given away their 2^nd Amendment rights to even make such an option credible.

MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell: “I am a socialist”

The Blaze: On Friday’s “Morning Joe” MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell made a startling admission: “I am a socialist.”

The statement from the regular host of “The Last Word” came as he was chiding contributor Glenn Greenwald from Salon.com for apparently being a liberal hiding behind the word “progressive.”

“I am a socialist. I live to the extreme left, the extreme left of you mere liberals,” he said: 

This clip is worth watching for two reasons.  First, the actual admission from O’Donnell that he is a socialist and second the clash between two lefties of why Democrats got “The Shellacking”.

It is refreshing to hear O’Donnell flat out admit what he is, too bad more lefties don’t just fess up about. I never thought I would see the day, but I have to agree with Lawrence O’Donnell on this one.  The Blue Dogs did not lose for being conservative, they loss because they failed to live up to being conservative.  They ran in their districts as conservative leaning Dems, then got elected and voted for a socialist agenda.  This is what you call “bait and switch” and Americans tend to get pretty pissed off about that. O’Donnell is also correct to point out that if only hardcore lefties ran the Democrats would never have been able to create a majority.

This battle between Lawrence O’Donnell and Glenn Greenwald over who is to blame for “The Shellacking” is one I expect will play out over and over again over the next two years.  Already we are seeing this battle start to form over the nomination of Pelosi as Minority Whip (I pray the far left wins that one J) .

Below is the full exchange between O’Donnell and Greenwald.  It will give you a better idea of the battle that is to come.

UPDATED: Iowa Tea Party erects billboard comparing Obama to Hitler and Lenin

Associated Press: (AP) —A billboard created by an Iowa tea party group comparing President Barack Obama to Adolf Hitler and Vladimir Lenin is being condemned by other tea party activists.

The North Iowa Tea Party began displaying the sign in Mason City last week.

The sign includes photos of Obama, Nazi leader Hitler and communist leader Lenin with the statement: “Radical leaders prey on the fearful & naive.”

North Iowa Tea Party co-founder Bob Johnson says the sign highlights what the group argues is Obama’s support for socialism. He says the pictures might be overwhelming the intended message.

Shelby Blakely, a spokeswoman for the national Tea Party Patriots, says the sign isn’t appropriate. She says her group opposes any comparisons of Obama to Hitler or Lenin.

The White House declined to comment. 

Now that 55% of Americans believe Obama is a socialist, this billboard isn’t going to be as shocking as it would have been a few months ago. Never the less, it is good to see that people have stopped pussyfooting around with whether or not Obama is a socialist.

The NAACP will no doubt slam this as more proof of Tea Party racism, even though less than two years ago, calling someone a socialist had zero to do with racism.  Today however, when it comes to defending Obama’s failed policies, any criticism can be called racist.

UPDATE: Clarification

Judging from the first comments I think I need to clear things up. I was not supporting comparisons between Obama and Hitler, rather I was supporting labeling Obama as a socialist. I should have been much clearer on that, but I guess since everybody and his mother gets compared to Hitler these days, the shock value of calling someone Hitler has worn off me. My bad.

Ron Paul: Obama is not a socialist

Yesterday during his speech at the Southern Republican Leadership Conference, Ron Paul defines Obama as a corporatist rather than a socialist. 

"The question has been raised about whether or not our president is a socialist," Paul said. "I am sure there are some people here who believe it. But in the technical sense, in the economic definition of a what a socialist is, no, he's not a socialist."

"He's a corporatist," Paul continued. "And unfortunately we have corporatists inside the Republican party and that means you take care of corporations and corporations take over and run the country."

Paul said examples of President Obama's "corporatism" were evident in the heath care reform bill he signed into law last month. He said the mandate in the bill put the power over health care in the hands of corporations rather than private citizens. But he said the bill wasn't the only place where corporatism is creeping into Washington.

I cannot really agree with Ron Paul on this one. Sure Obama has taken care of some corporations GE and Goldman Sachs readily come to mind. However, there are some corporations that clearly did not fare very well under Obama policies.

Ron Paul is wrong about the mandates in ObamaCare, while the mandates look like a boon to the insurance companies; everything else about ObamaCare is design to collapse them.

Ron Paul also said that repealing ObamaCare is unlikely: 

Despite his opposition to the bill, and despite Republican calls to repeal it, Paul said that when it comes to the landmark health care bill, "throwing it all out is probably not going to happen."

He said the only hope Republicans have is to change the bill for the better. Paul said he will introduce his own legislative fix when the Congress returns from recess next week.

"There's one piece of legislation that I'm going to introduce, it's going to be one page long," he said. "It will be to remove the mandate so you don't have to participate if you don't want to."

Tinkering around the edges? I totally not feeling this!  Since this is only a quote, I will wait until I can see all of Ron Paul’s speech before I comment on this idea.  If anyone stumbles across video of Ron Paul’s full speech, please provide the link.

New Video: Rev. Wright Praises Socialism

Rev Jeremiah Wright (introduced by Robert McChesney) at Monthly Review's 60th Anniversary from Monthly Review on Vimeo.

At this point it would be far easier to count the people around Obama who are NOT socialists. In the Rev. Wright has some very interesting things to say.

From Accuracy In Media:

In the video, which captures Wright's appearance at a September 17, 2009, anniversary celebration of Monthly Review, Wright said that while the "corporate media" provide a "binary lens" of the world, in such terms as "communist versus Christian," Monthly Review offers what it calls "no-nonsense Marxism."

He added: "You dispel all the negative images we have been programmed to conjure up with just the mention of that word socialism or Marxism."

He called America "land of the greed and home of the slave."

Pam Geller from Atlas Shrugs points out the connections of this socialist gathering to Obama:

And the hits just keep on comin'. Check out this video of Reverend Jeremiah Wright - it is a marxist rant. Note who introduces the vile anti-semite and Black liberation activist. It's none other than Robert W. McChesney, the  boldest and most radical of the net neutrality activists and founder of Free Press -- the leading advocacy group in Washington pushing for net neutrality. In an August interview with a Canadian Marxist online publication called the Bullet, McChesney rejoices that net neutrality can finally bring about the Marxist "revolution."

"At the moment, the battle over network neutrality is not to completely eliminate the telephone and cable companies," McChesney said. "We are not at that point yet. But the ultimate goal is to get rid of the media capitalists in the phone and cable companies and to divest them from control."

The McChesney introduction of Wright proves how interconnected and deep this nefarious marxist network is. This mercenary operation is funded and greased with the ill gotten gains of George Soros, maniacal in his crusade to destroy capitalism and America.

McChesney and the domestic terrorist Ayers are both professors at the University of Chicago. Note Chicago -- the sewer where these same goosesteppers launched Obama's political career.

It's all one big decadent party up there in the White House. We have been overthrown. It's time the Republicans stopped scratching their heads. We need a Lincoln to take us into battle.

I think we can all stop being so squeamish about using the socialist label. If it walks like a duck …

Whack A Mole Anyone? Ron Bloom Another Mao Loving Czar

Hat tip to Gateway Pundit for finding this video.

Good grief, you cannot swing a cat without hitting a leftist radical in the White House. But of course we are not to construe this to mean Obama is a Red Diaper Baby.

Ron Bloom clearly does not believe in free markets or capitalism. Even though free markets and capitalism was what allowed his sorry butt to get where he is.  Like most leftist radicals, they get their share of the pie and then they want to take away any chance of you getting yours.

Pravda calls out our socialist UPDATED

Never in my wildest nighmares, did I ever imagine the day when Pravda would paint an accurate picture of America. Pravda use to be one of the official mouth pieces of the old Soviet Union, much like the New York Times is the mouth piece for the DNC today. Check this out and tell me if they got it right:

First, the population was dumbed down through a politicized and substandard education system based on pop culture, rather then the classics. Americans know more about their favorite TV dramas then the drama in DC that directly affects their lives. They care more for their "right" to choke down a McDonalds burger or a BurgerKing burger than for their constitutional rights. Then they turn around and lecture us about our rights and about our "democracy". Pride blind the foolish.

Then their faith in God was destroyed, until their churches, all tens of thousands of different "branches and denominations" were for the most part little more then Sunday circuses and their televangelists and top protestant mega preachers were more then happy to sell out their souls and flocks to be on the "winning" side of one pseudo Marxist politician or another. Their flocks may complain, but when explained that they would be on the "winning" side, their flocks were ever so quick to reject Christ in hopes for earthly power. Even our Holy Orthodox churches are scandalously liberalized in America.

The final collapse has come with the election of Barack Obama. His speed in the past three months has been truly impressive. His spending and money printing has been a record setting, not just in America's short history but in the world. If this keeps up for more then another year, and there is no sign that it will not, America at best will resemble the Wiemar Republic and at worst Zimbabwe.

The entire article is a must read. Now I am begining to wonder if that Russian professor was right last year when he suggested that America would split up in 2010.

UPDATE

It has been brought to my attention by one of the commenters (Count Busy), that the author of the Pravda piece is actually a blogger named Stanislav Mishin. His blog can be found here and the original April post can be found here. Spread a little linkage and check him out.
