PROJECT: Collect online evidence of right-wing glee/approval of threats against Democrats.
FR links, right-wing blog posts, whatever, no matter how obscure...because that's the point: these 'Baggers are the "obscure," the deranged, the ridiculous ones driving this crap. It was some totally obscure douchebag in Alabama who is apparently, and proudly, responsible for all those broken windows. P.S. The blogger who posted the wrong guy's address and set up a bunch of kids to die in a fire when the gas line to their home got cut by a patriot hero coward...yeah, also "obscure."
So.
Help me rip the lid off. If you find a thread on a website where people are congratulating whoever is threatening violence, paste the link here, with text or a screenshot included if possible (before the content gets deleted).
I'd like an accounting of who approves of this. Wouldn't you?
Post it here. Let's see how deep this particular batshit-crazy rabbit hole goes.

1. The point about getting the screen shots cannot be stressed enough
GET GRABS and keep files. Share the screen shots. Get the evidence so well backed up that the bullies are unable to throw their shit down a memory hole when they get called on it.
Dear FBI: we mean to document this crap. Do stay in touch. If you need evidence, we will have plenty
Thanks Will. Important stuff and it takes a 'big name' to garner the attention this needs.

17. Can you tell me how to do a screen shot?
I really don't know how.

23. Assuming you're using a normal computer, hit the "PrintScreen" button...
and then open Paint or your favorite image editor, and Paste it in.
If you're using one of those weird computers from a corporate behemoth that doesn't play very many games, then I have no idea.

4. How to do a screen shot in Windows XP:
Hit the "Print Screen" key, may be "PrtSc" or something like that.
Open up Microsoft Paint. Start > Accessories > Paint
When the Paint program opens up, click into the white screen and Ctrl + v to paste the image (or right click and hit "paste").
Save file to your computer. Voila!

5. The more "mainstream" and the more closely tied to the Republican party the better
The corporate media keeps trying to frame this as a "few fringe elements" when in fact it's being egged on by a LOT of people in positions of power.

6. Who are being egged on by the fringes.
There could be some interesting text-match possibilities if the mainstream repeats what the maniacs post...and we catch both.

13. When you try to go to the Secret Service, FBI or any of those websites to file a complaint. You have to have the incident, the time, what was said and all that stuff. I tried to file a complaint against Bachmann when she urged violence on the Democratic representatives and I couldn't find the evidence. It wasn't accepted. So you are right, then and there capture it. It would really be nice if you programed you DVD to record some of the messages on Fox since they took down all access to their information. They can't stop you from recording the info...the same with Rush and Dingbat, dumb bat Bachmann and Palin.

14. Don't just post it here--put it in the Research section
If it is only posted here, the info will be locked and much harder to find within only a few days.

25. I'm working on a project right now
It's a hit piece on CNN & their recent hiring of Erick Erickson...RedState blog owner and now a member of CNN's best political team. He's about to be exposed as a voice for the teabaggers. Video launches Friday. Will, we're definitely on the same page though. I want to take this issue further and expose the congressional members as well. There's a shitload full of them. I'll be watching this thread like a hawk.

28. I'd feel more enthusiastic about this if I thought that something was actually going to be DONE regarding these threats!
Its like burning down the Reichstag and demanding the opposition accept the blame.
A coffin was placed on a Missouri Democrat’s lawn, another in a string of incidents against lawmakers after their vote Sunday on a health care overhaul.
Rep. Russ Carnahan (D-Mo.) had a coffin placed “near his home,†a spokesman said Wednesday evening.
So I guess we can arrest Cindy Sheehan for placing dozens of crosses outside of GWB's Texas ranch, right?
The "coffin" was part of an anti-abortion protest and not a death threat.

Everybody who's not a gay man is a big Kooch fan. Oh, wait, you meant 'Dennis Kucinich.' Sorry!
:evillaugh:
Who has screen shots of threats made by the DUmmies? Maybe now would be a good time to post them.
Philosoraptor/MoPaul needs to get in on this action, too.
Allosaurs think raptors taste like chicken! Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!11111
The drunken Pittster is really on to something here. DUAC!! DUAC!!
If there's one thing the FBI and Secret Service would jump to investigate, it's screenshots posted on a lunatic website by these DUAC!! DUAC!! imbeciles.

..."To arms" in this context meaning "Keep their fat asses permanently planted in front of their TV and/or computer screens, living on delivered pizza."
:rotf:
Given their past record of bringing anyone to justice I think we can safely bet that it will be at least another 10 years before they even get charges filed.Or at least 24 buisness hours.
Can a person buy pizza with food stamps?
