Here's a tolerant post from the oh-so-tolerant folks over at the Daily Kos. Either we vote Barack into office... or it's revolution time, baby.
The United States of America are on the brink of a major revolution. I am not talking about some fuzzy "internet revolution" or similar hogwash but the real McCoy.I mean armed uprising, riots, civil war. The full Monty.
I know, I know, you are going to say that this is impossible, no way, I am being pessimistic etc.
...
This is outrageous but not surprising as the ckickens are coming home to roost and after exploiting pretty much the whole globe and now facing stiff competion of other players like China, India, and Brazil, the US corporations have resorted to the last market they have not sucked dry until recently: the American Homeland.
The people are understandably outraged and demand action (Welcome to the club. Do you now understand why all over the world American flags have been burned?). In previous elections it was easy to distract, you only had to find a big enough gotcha or push enough buttons to distract from a pressing issue. However, this time there are not enough buttons to push and by panically pushing ALL buttons hard and often this tool is being overused and backfires.
...
This election, and the way an Obama administration is going to perform, is the crossroads for the American Nation. Either reform or revolution. The powers to be are not going to cede their powers voluntarily. They never do. If Obama fails, there will be someone else and there is no guarantee that this is not going to be someone like Lenin, or worse, Hitler.
But after so much gloom, cheer up! Here come the good news: If the nation and people in question were anyone else but America and the Americans I would stick a fork in them.
The Americans however, have proven to be a very special people and to have the incredible ability to do the right thing (after trying all other options to quote Winston C. here). Obama is going to be the next president and you can count yourself lucky. You are probably the luckiest b*stards in the universe to have such a leader emerging then when you need him the most.
On the other hand, you should never forget what is at stake and what awaits should you fail.
Gee, how tolerant. How democratic. The people decide something that the Kos Kids don't like, and it's time to rebel! Show those nasty Republicans who's boss!!
I could talk about how crazy this is, or about how indicative this is of the psyches of the insane left. But I had a different thought.
On what planet do liberals think they could overthrow us conservatives using violent force?! I mean, come on now. Which side likes guns? I mean, they tell us all the time how we're violent, war-mongering, gun-toting, God-fearing demons. Let's just say that they're exactly right. We're violent, war-mongering, gun-toting, God-fearing demons. Well, liberals, then, are peaceful, Kumbaya-singing, gun-fearing, atheist idiots. Who do you think would win in that fight, hmm?
Seriously. What would they do? Throw daisies at us?
Oh, wait, that's right. Liberals believe in diplomacy. So they'd sit there and talk us to death. Ask us how this new American Revolution makes us feel. Try to find out our motivation for being evil violent demons. Try to talk us into being "better" Americans. Cuz, you know, diplomacy works and all.
Although, I think I'd rather take my chances with a shotgun than have to endure liberal "diplomacy" until I surrender. I mean, that's gotta be one of the nine circles of hell.
In any case, if this guy really thinks that a revolution is what's needed, then bring it on.
As if they'd stand a chance.

Gee and how do they figure Obama is going to DO anything after he gets in office? He hasn't done anything yet.
I have been hearing rumors that either Dim candidate will never survive an election win to take possession of the White House anyway.

Yes, a more or less peaceful one

LOL. I see this kind of nut from time to time. I remember one uber-liberal threaten me in a comment string with something like, "When the Revolution comes, we'll take care of people like you." My response was basically:
You say you want a Revolution?
1. My side has very specific goals (e.g. keeping or re-establishing the Constitution).
2. My side is willing to fight and die for what it believes in.
3. My side understands the lessons of history.
4. My side knowns how to build and maintain a hierarchical command structure.
5. My side has loads of people with military or police training.
6. My side is well armed.
Shortest. Revolution. Ever.
I also find in amusing that this individual is demanding CHANGE - as in, "The people are understandably outraged and demand action."
OK. Can this individual explain why has nothing changed when the Democrats have taken control of both Houses of Congress and therefore controls 100% of the Federal budget?

I dunno Cassie. If you have a strong stomach and hang out over at Democratic Underground long enough on the right thread, there are alot of them that own firearms and seem to be well versed with their use. Their opposition (these posters of which I speak) seems to be more of a only the "right" people should own firearms.

This guy is obviously a moron who is blowing off steam. Personally, I'm not going to worry about any kind of "revolution" until hordes of idiot moonbats start acquiring firearms. But last time I checked, those that hates the 2nd amendment, lauds pacifism, thinks hunters and gun owners are beneath contempt, etc., is, what a surprise, the idiot moonbats. So this moron is basically trying to start a war with the side that has all the guns.
Yeah, that makes sense. Pass the bong, dude.

the author is a european marxist. he has no understanding of american politics, democracy, capitalism, etc. it's just his dream that the US would become more like his ideal of Europe, even if it takes a revolution (which the leftists would lose badly) to acheive.
from everything i've ever read, marxists are just a whiney bunch of immature asshats who want life handed to them and are envious of those who succeed. they should be watched in case of violence, but otherwise dismissed as the worthless tools they are.

The European Marxist idea may have some legs.
When I've seen "serious" suggestions that Obama is going to be assassinated or some civil upset is going to happen related to this it's almost invariably some European or South African twit... excuse me, Pulitzer or Peace Prize winner... who says it.
It's a misunderstanding of the culture but too much self-importance to recognize their own ignorance.
