The Torrent of Violent, ‘Revolutionary’ Rhetoric Being Unleashed by Right-Wing Media

Posted on 12 April 2009                                                                                                             Bookmark and Share

Since President Obama’s inauguration, numerous conservative media figures have called for a “revolution” or have invoked violent rhetoric while discussing the Obama administration or government in general. In addition to encouraging violence, such violent rhetoric has also included suggesting Obama’s policies were doing violence to the American people and depicting Obama as a rapist, spousal abuser, or mobster.

The slogan for RightWingNews.com — a right-wing blog run by Townhall.com columnist John Hawkins — is: “Kneecapping Barack Obama at every opportunity.”

Media Matters for America has previously noted that since Obama’s inauguration, conservative media figures have made ominous, even apocalyptic claims about the impact policies pursued by Obama and other progressives might have on the United States; warned of impending socialism, fascism, communism, Nazism, McCarthyism, or Marxism under the Obama administration; asserted or suggested that under Obama, U.S. sovereignty may give way to a one-world government; and warned their audiences that Obama’s administration will seize their guns.

Someone Stop This “Violent Goon” Glenn Beck Before He Hurts Someone:

BraveNewFilms: If the lunatic Fox personality could have motivated Pittsburgh cop killer Richard Poplawski by erroneously claiming President Obama is comin? to get yer guns, I can only imagine the harm all of Beck?s fearmongering will cause. In the past few weeks alone, Beck has spewed the apocalyptic ideas that Chinese and Russian spies have hacked into the United States, Iran and Russia are swapping nuclear secrets, and FEMA is setting up concentration camps. Oh, and then there?s Beck?s run-of-the-mill fearmongering about our country heading toward a socialist totalitarian state. [ READ MORE ]
