Digby's Hullabaloo

Civility

by digby

I’m sure most of you have heard the latest words of wisdom from Ted Nugent by now. You know, where he calls Barack Obama a piece of shit and says Obama and Hillary Clinton should suck on his machine gun? Where he calls Diane Feinstein a worthless whore? Right.

Anyway, on the heels of last week’s opus by a writer for a prestigious neocon and conservative think tank calling for Bush to declare himself emperor and then the mass enslavement, or execution, of the invaders [Mexicans], which must be followed by an American invasion of Mexico to enforce American language and values upon the Mexicans, and Rush Limbaugh saying that the Democrats are going to buy the black vote by invading Darfur, it’s been quite a week for racist and eliminationist talk from mainstream right wing sources.

It’s good to see that Bill O’Reilly is drawing a line in the sand at least:

“These are people who are wishing people with whom they disagree, ill. That’s who they are. That’s what they do. That’s all they do.”

Oh, wait. He wasn’t talking about the prestigious neocon think tanks which pay their writers or George W. Bush’s favorite talk show host or even the frequent FOX guest, Ted Nugent. He was talking about Daily Kos.

Ok. Maybe Bill doesn’t know that Ted Nugent is waving machine guns around on stage screaming for Democratic politicians to “suck on this” to loud cheers from the audience. But Sean Hannity does. You have to see this to believe it. He simply can’t bring himself to admit that his pal Nuge is strutting around on stage raving like a psychopath:

It’s quite a performance. By Sean, I mean.

I wonder when Neil Cavuto will next have the expert Nugent on for an entire segment outlining his “plan” for what should be done about illegal immigration. Soon I hope. Maybe he’ll bring his automatic weapons and accidentally wing himself on the air.
