Figure of speech or threat? Randall Terry declares that Barack Obama must be stopped "at all costs."
Edited on Thu Oct-30-08 09:39 PM by The Night Owl
From Daily Beast...

Guess Who Came to the Palin Rally?
by Max Blumenthal

A white supremacist radio show and Operation Rescue's founder show—more evidence the far, far right is using Obama resentment for its political gain.

On Wednesday, I reported for The Daily Beast that key leaders of the white supremacist movement are seeking new opportunities to infiltrate and influence the political mainstream, particularly within the Republican base. An exclusive new video, shown here for the first time, offers new evidence of their strategic push.

...

In the footage, Randall Terry is seen nearby shouting into a megaphone, “We must do whatever it takes to stop Obama!” A Terry associate wearing a Palin t-shirt hands out fliers urging anti-abortion advocates to organize against Obama’s election. While the Political Cesspool organizer expresses no support for McCain-Palin, and seems reluctant to divulge his show’s racist politics, Terry seems openly supportive of the McCain-Palin campaign.

...

Terry is as avid proponent of Christian Reconstructionism, a radical ideology that calls for replacing the US Constitution with Biblical law. “I want you to just let a wave of intolerance wash over you... I want you to let a wave of hatred wash over you. Yes, hate is good,” Terry told his followers in August 1993. He went on: “Our goal is a Christian nation. We have a biblical duty, we are called by God, to conquer this country. We don't want equal time. We don't want pluralism."

...

8. Terry apparently inspires a lot of songs.
MEATHOOK UP MY RECTUM

The meathook of Randall Terry
Plowed up my rectum
Agh!
The snout of Jesse Helms
Fouling everything I read
Agh!

Gored by the PMRC
Parental advisory
Clean white songs for mommy
Or you're banned in the U.S.A.

Agh!
Such a pain in the ass
A big fist of cement
With Joe McCarthy's name attached
A lair of white bread worms
Gnaws my spine

Is that a cattle prod in your pocket
Or are you just glad to see me?
Agh!
Desires tied in knots of pain
Tighter, tighter, going insane
Agh!

Afraid to think
Afraid to screw
I hear batwings in our bedroom
Voila! There they are-
Bloodsuckers for decency

Vampires on the take
World's fattest rattlesnakes
Moving closer to the kill
Where have I seen those eyes?

I hate their God
And it hates me
A cop up in heaven
Raining Holy-Roller hell on earth

One by one fish hooks creep in
Five year mission to get under your skin
Wrap around your brain and stem
Pull your soul apart from within

Inside
Inside

They bite my mind
Bite my mind
Bite my mind
Bite my mind

Out of the closet
Into the fire
Zero tolerance for life
Will I ever feel free
To be free...?

Jello Biafra with Steel Pole Bathtub, aka Tumor Circus

12. I wonder if Jello Biafra is still bitter about his conflict with Tipper.
Somehow, I doubt he is.

13. I bet he is.
He does stuff for the Green Party all the time (as recently as last week even), and I don't think he has much love for Democrats in general, let alone the one who is partly responsible for going after him for his lyrics and the Geiger pic included in Frankenchrist.

Jello Biafra endorsing Ralph Nader in 2008...

http://www.prefixmag.com/news/jello-biafra-endorses-nader-at-dnc/21074

What is he thinking?

I love Mr. Biafra's music but he just isn't a sensible person in regard to politics.

2. Terry is a total nutjob and I think his comments deserve him to get
A visit from law enforcement.

This freak has no problem with loonies blowing up abortion clinics, so his comment that "we must do whatever it takes to stop Obama!" must be treated very seriously.

3. Not for nothing
But it would seem to me that abortion would be an opportunity for the White Supremacists to get rid of black people . . .

Cover your eyes, hold your bile - look at this link:
http://www.blackgenocide.org/home.html

Randall Terry and his White Power friends there - should WANT Barack Obama to win if that site is accurate. I'm telling you - Pro Life / White Power? Those movements and their ideology simply doesn't make sense. They can't have it both ways. They can't want the elimination of people that look like me AND want an end to abortion.

They're bonkers! :crazy:

He's still alive? He needs to STFU and go away and he can take that any way he likes it.

5. Randall Terry's countrymen and countrywomen are maturing,
Edited on Thu Oct-30-08 09:33 PM by Old Crusoe
becoming better citizens, more thoughtful, critical thinkers, more evolved and therefore more inclusive, more sensitive and respectful to the larger American mosaic.

And leaving him behind in the process, shrieking like a fool.

18. I think that's pretty fair. He has isolated himself (and his followers)
with all the hate speech and the ignorance-is-bliss bigotry.

These people are among the lost ones as the rest of the country -- by all measures -- prepares to elect Barack Obama to the presidency.

22. an interesting way to put it
I think Terry is crazy but I don't think he's stupid. Getting arrested and possibly imprisoned might be a good thing for a fringe guy like him. He's not going to dial it down.

24. They didn't care
It was a family feud over money and the parents had it in for their son-in-law. They lost. Now they're indebted to these people, though they've managed to improve their financial situation by quitting their jobs and living off their "foundation" and lecturing pro-life groups.

10. What an appropriate moniker
"Political Cesspool" seems such an apt place to meet the likes of Randall Terry.
It would be akin to O'Reilly naming his site "The Idiot Factor", or "Projectile Vomit Outlet" with Sean Hannity.

At least he knows his place in society, now if only he becomes so distraught with President Obama that he blows his own brains out in defeat like a good Nazi. He'd probably have to take a couple shots though to hit it.

11. Randall Terry should be locked up in solitary confinement,
until his is dust. Give him one meal a day, so that he can barely survive, but let him have no contact with any human being, ever again in his life. When he is dust, take that dust, and fly it into the sun for proper disposal!

I was the person who filmed it and asked Terry the questions.

33. Nicely done! I hope the presence of mind you exhibited in response to...
...Mr. Terry's menacing call to action leads to him being questioned by the Secret Service. Now get your video up on the YouTube and post it to PV so we can all rec it!

34. the discs
Max has the tapes which got to him through another source which I can not reveal. Max got my direct permission to use them.

They were from my camcorder. it's the first time in my life I ever used a camcorder and they were on these discs. I don't even know how to upload something to Youtube. If Max or someone on his behalf could do so, that would be great.

I've been out for years fighting for Dems and taking on these right wing nuts and challenging them. They usually can't handle it.

15. Don't take anything the "Operation Rescue" founder says lightly...
His organization was responsible for physically blocking women seeking an abortion from being able to get one. And, while they were never convicted of bombing an abortion clinic or murdering doctors, they certainly stated that people doing such things were "heroes."

So, when he says "at all costs"...judge for yourselves what that might entail.

19. Ann Coulter was on H&C tonight (watched during commercial) in all her rabid
glory...practically hysterical with warnings about Obama and how she feels like the Germans must have felt after Hitler came to power...that we're about to make an epic tragic mistake....this was scary, dangerous talk and I couldn't believe Colmes was letting her say it.

Irresponsible, reprehensible, and sick.

20. I saw a youtube video tonight "vote with a bullet"
....that has a photo of Obama with a target on his forehead. It is extremely disturbing. It has been up on youtube since July 10 and calls itself "satire" but I'm aghast at it. The screaming/singing ends with the phrase I typed in the subject line.

25. There's a saying freepers have:
"There are three boxes you use for change. First, the soap box, then the ballot box, and if all else fails...the ammo box."

28. And it shows Freepers are idiots
That is taken from Ed Howdershelt

"There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo. Please use in that order."

And it was basically how to oppose fascism.

23. There should be accountability after the election.
There should be serious investigations into the McCain-Palin embrace of hate speech during this election. The winks about racism and violence are beyond anything that has been acceptable in my lifetime. Whether or not the whole range of garbage amounts to crimes by various people - and I suspect the answer is yes - it should be documented.

I want to see McCain answer questions from his peers at senate hearings about why he said he doesn't know if Obama is a communist, and why he said he was 100% proud of the people at his rallies.

Yep, those four little words are why so many people have vilified Malcolm X over the years. I'm guessing Terry's words will be ignored.

31. "Hate is good" and "Our goal is a Christian nation" in the same breath??
What fucking religion is that? THAT is not Christianity! Maybe he should read about this guy called Christ and what he talked about. (Because even if you don't worship Christ or don't believe he really lived, you have to admit that the ideas attributed to him really is good stuff.)
