| Florida Dems Place Ad Calling For a Hit on Rumsfeld, $ For Kerry |
| 2004-04-13 |
| via Drudge - they’ve lost their minds CAMPAIGN RAGE: FLORIDA DEMOCRATS PLACE NEWSPAPER AD CALLING FOR RUMSFELD HIT; FUNDRAISING FOR KERRY Campaign 2004 turns extreme in Florida with the placement of a newspaper ad calling for physical retribution against Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld! "We should put this S.O.B. up against a wall and say ’This is one of our bad days,’ and pull the trigger," the ad reads. The call-to-arms fundraising ad, placed by the St. Petersburg Democratic Club in the current issue of the GABBER, a local St. Petersburg paper, asks readers to make an urgent donation to the John Kerry campaign. Club Vice President Edna McCall told the DRUDGE REPORT Tuesday morning: "We want to get our country back. In Iraq, we’re in deep trouble. If we don’t try to get this situation cleared up, we are finished." When asked if the ad was a challenge to inflict violence on Rumsfeld, McCall explained: "’Pull the trigger’ means let Rumsfeld know where we stand, not to shoot him!" "We are getting raped, and they are planning to steal the election again." McCall said her club is in direct contact with John Kerry campaign. "We’re all working together." The publisher of the GABBER says running the ad with the passage "pull the trigger" was a mistake that "slipped through" during the editing of this week’s edition. Developing... |

| #33 Damnit, I hope this doesn't fall off the radar. Just think if anyone, ANYONE, published the same line about lining Kerry, Big Head Ted, or any other dumbocrat for that matter, against the wall and pulling the trigger. I hope Fox runs this 24/7 until the other news outlets have to report it. Of course, if someone was thrown in jail for this crap then it would get a bit of notice, lol. |

| #32 Great....all these sixties burnouts are having flashbacks along with their hot flashes. Give ol' Edna (no wonder she's pissed.....I would be too if my parents named me Edna) a prozac with a premarin chaser. |

| #31 YS, Fox News just aired it about an hour ago here (approximately 4pm PST). Somehow I doubt the other major news orgs will even give this notice you see its not in line with their reality. |

| #30 Hey, aren't these the same folks who think Bush and Ashcroft are the Nazis? |

| #29 RC: The "get into my car" attack is especially deadly when combined with the "glass half empty" technique. Rumor has it that Ted's been working on a double-fisted variation of that. |

| #28 I wonder if Edna McCall will enjoy her cavity search half as much as she enjoys the ad. McCall said her club is in direct contact with John Kerry campaign. "We’re all working together." This will be the Summer of My Winter Soldier, I think. |

| #27 RC: Good point! In that case, I hope he opts for Fire Palm Fist™ style. |

| #26 I think Keneddy's the Drunken Master, not Rummy. (Of course, Kennedy's favorite combat move is the "get into my car" attack.) |

| #25 McCall better watch it....Rummy might whip out some of his Drunken Temple Boxing ™ technique and put a real hurtin' on. |

| #23 Answer to Yosemite Sam - They are to busy lamenting the delay in "American Idol" caused by the President's news conference. |

| #22 None of the leading news orgs are reporting this - abc, nbc, cbs, fox, cnn. What do you make of that? |

| #21 If they think that they are going to pick on Rummy, this is stupid. He has lots of loyal friends. Gen Mattis would be the perfect one to pay a personal visit to this Edna McCall woman when he returns from Iraq, and explain that in a free country we do not make personal threats against public officials. This is beyond political. |

| #20 Hah - these fools have messed with the wrong man! Threaten Rumsfeld will they? Their suffering shall be the stuff of legend! BUAHAHAHAHA! |

| #14 Is anyone else flashing on the image of Maj. 'King' Kong Bronco-riding a dropped nuclear bomb and whooping his Stetson? Just before it EXPLODES?!!! 'Slipped through', My A$$!!! Someone needs to go to prison over this! |

| #13 The publisher of the GABBER says running the ad with the passage "pull the trigger" was a mistake that "slipped through".... I hope that the publisher and the author of this vile crap get a five year vacation in Florence, Colorado to rethink this "mistake". Say hello to Ramzi Yousef while you're there a$$holes. |

| #12 I said something in a comment here on RB last weekend about the Dems having made a cynical, calculated decision to harness the lunatic energy of the anti-war foamers and droolers on the extreme Left. And I said the Democrats, having unleashed this mad beast, won't be able to stop it. They're riding a tiger, and cannot get off for fear of being mauled. Where are these people taking us? Where does this all end, with a civil war? |

| #11 It seems that the Left reaches a new low with each passing day--what can we expect on Election Day? Nuclear Armageddon because it's the only thing that can adequately express their Bush hate? The Florida Dims should give al-Sadr (a/k/a "Tater") a call: he and his Mahdi Army have the same goals that our native Dim idiotarians do. |

| #10 Just how the hell does "put him against the wall and pull the trigger" not mean "shoot him"? Would a ranking of the likelihood of election-related violence in the US fit into the WOT Futures? I think we just passed the 80% likely mark... |

| #9 "We are getting raped, and they are planning to steal the election again." They are going to loose Florida, they are already setting themselves up for it. Hopefully the hot air from their monumental whining won't melt the polar ice caps and send Florida beneath the waves to keep Atlantis company. |

#8 Here is the text of the e-mail I just sent to the Kerry campaign:I have just become aware that the St. Petersburg Democratic Club has placed a particularly revolting newspaper ad. The Club refers favorably to the Ba'athist and al-Qaida terrorists who are even now fighting against our troops in Iraq, and apparently calls for the assasination of Defense Secretary Rumsfeld--then solicits campaign contributions on behalf of Senator Kerry! Let's see if he does the right thing. |

| #7 McCall said her club is in direct contact with John Kerry campaign. "We’re all working together." is this the type of person we want to be pres? |

| #6 oh my god! what happened to the good ole american spirit of good sport? these dems are desperate. if true there should be reprecussions, at the very least civil. these guys would've been shot for sedition during WWI and WWII. so what happens when the dems loose florida again? |

| #5 I sure hope these hosers don't get away with that bs. Putting someone up against a wall and pulling a trigger means exactly what it says. Somebody really needs to be in jail for that crap. |

| #3 Dear God... It's as if we're going through the entire, sordid, hateful mess of the Sixties all over again, but compressed into just a few short months. What's next-- a modern-day "Days of Rage" riot in D.C. next weekend? Bombings by radical groups? This is insane, it is evil, and one group and one group ONLY is responsible for it: the Democratic Party. |
