Hey, corporate media false-equivalence apologists... This is not a person from the left and there are more incidents like this where this one came from.

Florida radio host Joyce Kaufman, speaking at a Tea Party Rally in 2010 before the midterm election, telling her followers that if they don't get what they want by voting, then they should consider shooting people... Craziness.

8. An open letter to Joyce Kaufman

Dear Joyce,

How does it feel when you hear about the horrific shootings in Tucson yesterday? How does it feel to see that someone actually employed your idea of using bullets over ballots?

​I wonder if deep down you're mortified, because you should be. You should finally be getting a terrifying glimpse of how your your callous and ignorant words might actually affect South Florida and our nation.

I wonder how you feel when you hear about the death of nine-year-old Christina Taylor Green, who was killed in the shooting at the Safeway along with U.S. District Judge John Roll and four others. Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords was shot in the head and survived, along with 11 others injured. Christina danced ballet and played little league. She had just been elected to her elementary school's student council and was invited by a neighbor to Giffords' political event yestereday to meet a real government leader. Instead she met a madman with a gun who decided that bullets were the answer.

Christina was born on September 11, 2001, Joyce, a day that shocked and horrified this nation and a day that you have been using to help spread your message of war and hate ever since.

9. What a traitor

:wtf:

[Lifelong Protester]

10. What a piece of excrement.

Hope she's happy now, with blood on her hands.

I HOPE everyone of these nut cases that called/calls for bullets when ballots don't work, are damned proud of themselves today.

I mourn the loss of all of those killed.

[Plucketeer]

19. If she truly believes in what she's spouting here,

she's happy with the results.

12. she was the Chief of Staff of one of the new Teabaggers in Congress

Allen West, an Army Lt. Colonel who was court-martialed for torture in Iraq, which seemed to be his main appeal to the Teabaggers. I heard him on RW radio all the time, he was one of their heroes, along with Gabrielle Giffords' opponent Jesse Kelly.

25. Here's a news story about her.

http://www.mediaite.com/tv/conservative-radio-host-leaves-congress-job-after-threats-and-lockdown/

When conservative Florida radio host Joyce Kaufman went to a Tea Party rally on July 4, she got so fired-up that she was moved to make a fairly incendiary statement: “If ballots don’t work, bullets will.” Kaufman’s statement was caught on camera and shown on The Rachel Maddow Show—and ironically, it inspired people who don’t agree with her to threaten violence in response. As a result, Kaufman has announced that she will no longer be serving as Republican Rep.-elect Allen West’s Chief of Staff.

13. lets hope this gets more exposure ..

14. Tea Party movement = the American Al-qaeda

[Moostache]

15. We need to stop calling them "carzy" and call them what they are...

CRIMINALS!

You cannot run into a crowded theater and scream "FIRE!!! WE"RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!"

Hiding behind "free speech" is such a bullshit tactic of the right that MUST END NOW.

Corporations ARE NOT persons.
Free Speech IS NOT universal for any utterance out of your mouth.
Dissent IS NOT treason.

When someone is inciting violence and espousing hatred, it is not acceptable.
Its time to stop pretending that their hands are not soaked in blood today....

20. NOT Criminals - TERRORISTS n/t

16. Just look at the Authoritarian Body Language she uses.

One can tell a great deal about a person and the message they are trying to convey by the posture, hand signals, and tone of voice.

This is a person scolding Children to act a certain way or they will be punished. This posture strikes the subconcious fears of people that have been subjected to this type of treatment by their family throughout their lives. Where do you think the speaker on this video learned how to behave like this?

I regards to the message, it is overly simplistic and inflammatory. As I can assure you that voting with bullets is never a good thing. It's pretty clear that the message was conjured up with a minimum of thought regarding the consequences of a gun toting riotous mob.

However, defending oneself from fascists wielding and using guns is another story, and that's what the 2nd Amendment is all about. A gun is just another tool. It is more effective than a rock, slingshot, sword, axe, club, crossbow, howitzer, or any of a billion ways one can cause injury.

Personally, I think guns are quite cowardly given a target you can walk up to without it running into the forest.

So many people applauding her!!!

21. This is the very type of right wing radical VIOLENCE MONGER that we need to be CONDEMNING !!

LOUD AND CLEAR ! These radical right wing nuts have ZERO understanding of the constitution and the intent of our founders. They are CRAZY fucking cement-headed paranoid gun nuts with brains the size
of peanuts, and we TOUGH PROGRESSIVES need to ORGANIZE for 2012 BIGTIME and put these scumbags out of the poltics business by POUNDING THE SHIT out of the them at the ballot box !

22. What does she mean about ballots not working?

When the votes are counted, and the other side wins. That's still democracy. That's the very definition of ballots "working." If one party always won, democracy would be dead.

These people are the ones who hate America. If they can't have a tyrannical one-party system, they get violent.

[Chimichurri]

23. The Tea Baggers have big ones trying to back away from their own

rhetoric that they've been celebrating since the first Kock brother's rally.
