The fine folks over at Redstate have been getting angrier and crazier since their side lost power. Now they're threatening to kill political opponents if they don't get their way in the next elections.
I was stunned when I saw the 2nd most recommended diary over at Redstate titled "Revolution or Civil War: The choice is ours!" I will not link to the vile diary, but here are some choice bits:
The road to self-reliance will be littered with the bodies of everyone who is unwilling to "change" or adapt to their new reality. We must be willing to step-over, go-around, or drive over anyone who stands in our way of re-taking our Republic! With the Online Right and God’s Might, we can win this war peacefully. There will be bloodshed, but it will be caused by them as they realize the DOOM they are facing. "We the People" will have begun the onerous task of righting this ship. No Liberal or RINO will be safe from our reach!
And this is the NICE part of his diary where they mearly result to revolution! The next part gets REALLY ugly:
Failure to win this November leaves us only one other choice...
Civil War - May God have Mercy on their Souls...
If we fail to re-take at least one house of Congress, the peaceful Revolution will not happen. The match will be lit. We will be forced into a very ugly, bloody, Civil War that will make the first one look like a Sunday stroll in the park.
Well now we know why these people have been stocking up on guns and ammo. They're scared and angry and feel powerless. The only way they can feel powerful again is through violence.
This little hero of the Right, after going off on his homicidal fantasy rant, then tries to walk it back with this disclaimer:
For those of you that know me, I abhor violence and civil unrest. I like to be allowed to live my life as I see fit, and allow others to do the same. However, I will not stand idly by and watch my Liberty and Freedom be taken from me by our Government
People, this is a top recommended diary at one of the more popular right-wing blogs. The comments section is full of others agreeing with the sentiments expressed here.
At what point do we stop laughing at these freaks and start taking their threats seriously?
Update
It's laughable that the Redstate poster thinks they could really mobilize a militia large enough to wage a new civil war, but some of The Crazy could try getting some payback. The American Taliban could try creating terrorist cells around the country.
