Swastika Painted at Congressman's Office

Destruction of public property with a obvioius [sic] political message using hate speech.
Oh noes! Hate speech! Somebody hold me ... :roll:
 
What amazes me is the people are being egged on by political commentators, lobbyist groups a like. I guess we have to wait until some right wing nut job kills another innocent citizen before we sit up and take notice.
 
What Rush actually said:

RUSH: Nancy Pelosi is the Speaker of the House. She is very powerful, one of the most powerful people in the country. This is what I mean by unraveling. She's running around now claiming that we're Nazis, that not only are we an unruly mob but that people are showing up wearing swastikas when, in fact, I have a story here from the Washington Post, Howard Kurtz, July 28, 1997: "Two senators call a news conference to present an average, hardworking American who -- to their embarrassment -- turns out to have a Nazi swastika tattooed on his arm. Is that news? Several major media organizations didn't think so. The West Virginia truck driver was trotted out by Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.) and Minority Leader Tom Daschle (D-S.D.) as someone who would be helped by the Clinton tax plan. Rockefeller, clearly unaware of the tattoo, introduced the man as 'a very close and personal friend.'"

So these guys back in 1997 shilling for Clinton's tax plan, bring out a guy, close personal friend of J. Rockefeller, actually has a swastika tattooed on his arm. The news media didn't think any big deal about it because this all happened when he was a teenager, it's no big deal. The speaker of the House accusing people of showing up at these town hall meetings of wearing swastikas, that is not insignificant, folks. This woman is deranged. They are unraveling, but that is not insignificant. You have the Democrat Speaker of the House saying that people, citizens who are concerned about health care are now wearing swastikas. She's basically saying that we are Nazis. She is saying that the people who oppose this are Nazis, and I'm going to tell you what. I'm going to run down the list here later on in the program, but this party, the Democrat Party and where it's taken this country, the radical left leadership of this party bears much more resemblance to Nazi policies than anything we on the right believe in at all, and I'll go through that list in just a second.

However, if you go to RushLimbaugh.com right now in the orange banner at the top of the website, you will see a headline: "Was Pelosi So Wrong About Swastikas?" Steve Gilbert at Sweetness & Light heard my reaction to the Obama health care logo the other day. I mentioned something about it reminded me of Germany in 1942, the shape of the logo, the people. I said, "I haven't seen this in many, many years." And if you go and take a look at this, you will find that the Obama health care logo is damn close to a Nazi swastika logo. I'm going to show you people watching on the Dittocam this, and there you are. The middle frame is the Obama health care logo. At the bottom is an official Nazi logo, eagle and everything, spread wings, or bird with spread wings. Ms. Pelosi has some major apologizing to do. I know that numerous repeated Botox injections can cause blurry vision, but I don't think Ms. Pelosi can use that as an excuse. They are really unraveling. They are really falling apart. Listen to her again. This is at San Francisco General Hospital. Do you think there is a legitimate grassroots opposition going on here?

Whose Swastikas, Speaker Pelosi?

Looks like GD made a mountain, over a mole hill, as usual.
 
I seriously want to know why the right wingers on this sight [sic] can't just denounce it and move on. What is your problem people?
I seriously want to know why there is already eight pages of blaming back and forth when nobody but the perpetrator of the act knows who even painted the swastika to begin with.

I guess some people consider jumping to conclusions a good way to exercise ... :confused:

For the guy who typed this:

I think you have no ground to stand on nor argue. Sorry, you're completely done.
 
We really need to stop assuming it was done because the dude is black. That's getting silly.

No we should do like your stupid comment and blame the congressman right? :roll:

Well, act like a Nazi, get treated like a Nazi. It shouldn't come as a real surprise.

Someone let me know when the above-quoted poster says something that makes sense. Thanks in advance.

Now we have evidence that it actually happened.

Definitely news-worthy...:roll:

What is it about this that you don't get? I'm curious why the right continue to ignore this stuff, make little of it and, by doing so, encourage it.

You are asking someone who can not even tell when a law is broken, and even when it is ruled that no law was broken, still thinks there is a law broken.

So Ethereal, how goes the Walpin campaign :rofl?

We actually have to tell one another that spray-painting Swastika's on another person's property is wrong?

I'm just waiting for you to offer some kind of argument in support of his termination. Anything besides a logical fallacy would do quite nicely.

By the way, when are you going to pay Rev his fifty dollars? Welching on a bet is low…:2wave:
 
You Libbos really need to learn to accept that your own tactics are being used against you and it's working.

This is precisely the attitude that makes "you" conservatives look just as bad as the "libbos" you rail against. No difference between the two of you.

That looks like some dip **** kid did that and not someone with any intelligent although low intent.

For what its worth, I grew up in Cobb particularly the area that David Scott represents and even though I am politically opposed to him, I don't think he would do such a thing to himself.

He seems like a decent guy.

He almost certainly did not, but that doesn't mean one of his supporters didn't do it out of hopes to raise sympathy for him.

Either way, till the perp is caught... too many faked hate crimes for me to get excited about this.

That's a possibility, although I don't think he would have consented to it.

I find it odd that he represents that area considering it was pretty Republican when I lived there.

I personally have not accused any one of anything. What I don't like, and what pisses me off is those being quick to suggest that it might be the congressman himself doing it(with no evidence), or that it is somehow his own fault for being a nazi. The hyperbole by some on the left is bad, I admit this, but to instead suggest that he might have done it himself or that he brought it on himself is just vile.
 
Having had some experience with these types of incidents, this looks like something done by a group of stupid kids. I doubt they were heavily influenced by Rush Limbaugh, given that he's not really very popular with the 14-21 year old demographic.

Organized hate groups tend to use different means to intimidate victims.

The idea that conservatives can somehow be blamed for is pretty stupid. The idea that this man did it to himself is equally stupid.

Good grief, people, stop drinking the damn koolaid.

It's the whole overpartisan BS. The congressman is a democrat, so some have to defend him, some have to attack him, no matter what. Stuff like this should not all into partisanship, it should be "people should not vandalize and paint swastikas" and that should be the end of it. Nothing else is needed.
 
Did you just quote that ****ing idiot as evidence? :rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:

Yes. What kind of idiot he is, quoting actual words from a transcript instead of just going by Goldendog's interpritation of it. HOW DARE HE!

What I see is indignation on the part of Rush for Nancy Pelosi implying that somehow the protesters are nazi-ish, stating if she wants to talk about nazi's that he feels the left is closer to it than the right, and makes a quip about what Obama's healthcare icon looked like.

To state that this is somehow insighting people to "KILL PEOPLE" as the OP preports is ludicrous let alone inciting them to vandalize things. Is it crass? Definitely. But absolutely idiotic to attempt to blame Rush for it based on his comments and to say that next his words are going to lead people to MURDER PEOPLE.

What is it about this that you don't get? I'm curious why the right continue to ignore this stuff, make little of it and, by doing so, encourage it.

Funny, still complaining about comdemnation and yet you've completely ignored the post explaining why the thread turned out to be what it is.
 
Swastika Painted at Congressman's Office

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Swastika Painted at Congressman's Office - Political Hotsheet - CBS News

(AP )A swastika was spray-painted on a sign in front of Rep. David Scott's office early this morning, the Atlanta-Journal Constitution reports.

The graffiti, which was discovered by an aide in the early morning, was placed directly over Scott's name. It included racial slurs and read, "Death to all Marxists! Foreign and domestic!"

The Democratic Georgia congressman, who is black, suggested that the swastika did not come from any of his constituents. He said he has received racist mail in recent days and is working with local and national law enforcement.


(AP)"That was a strong message to be sent," Scott told the newspaper. "We all have to be very careful. This is a warning sign."

Smyrna Police Det. C. McDuffie told the Atlanta-Journal Constitution that the act will most likely be treated as a hate crime.

__________________________________________________ ________
POLITICAL TERRORISM..

These are the types of things that Rush and others have been hoping for.


This is a lie

First comes the destruction of public property with hate messages.


By this illogic, should we consider pedophilia rape and murder a democrat thing, since john wayne gacy was one?



The next step is killing people.

The stage is set.


This is dumb, one idiot breaks the law and you want to attach it to everyon, yet, nothing about war protestors.... shame




Good job Rush.


Prove rush supports this or retract this propagandist lie. :2wave:
 
Destruction of public property with a obvioius political message using hate speech. You know the Nazi, Hitler Rush Limbaugh crap aimed at a Democrat Congressman.



And a FBI investigation..





Pelosi started with the nazi references, if you were honest, you would see rush's monologue was throwing it back in her face.....





But really, who here thinks EITHER SIDE are "nazis"? seriously, :doh
