Fifth Column

Ted Rall calls for violent socialist revolution

2010-11-09

An excerpt from Rall's new book: The Anti-American Manifesto...
We are here because the U.S. is going to end soon. There's going to be an intense, violent, probably haphazard struggle for control. It's going to come down to us versus them. The question is: What are you going to do about it?...

Christian fundamentalists, the millennial end-of-the-worlders obsessed with the Left Behind series about the End Times, neo-Nazi racists, rural black-helicopter Michigan Militia types cut from the same inbred cloth as Timothy McVeigh, allied with "mainstream" gun nuts and right-wing Republicans, have been planning, preparing, and praying for the destruction of the "Godless," "secular" United States for decades. In the past, they formed groups like the John Birch Society and the Aryan Nations. Now the hard Right has a postmodern, decentralized non-organization organization called the Tea Party.

A war is coming. At stake: our lives, the planet, freedom, living. The government, the corporations, and the extreme right are prepared to coalesce into an Axis of Evil. Are you going to fight back? Will you do whatever it takes, including taking up arms?...
A lot of people laughed when Osama Bin Laden declared war on those he called Jews and Crusaders. Meanwhile, Janet Napolitano wants to keep close tabs on the Right?

#18 Ha! I'll bet Ted's afraid of spiders.
Hopefully, after it's over, I'll still be around to write the history of his wet dream lefty war. Working title is, "Wow, Look at All the Dead Hippies".

#17 Ted Rall needs to remember that those with the guns and military experience are MOSTLY on the other side...

Now get back under your rock...

#14 Ted seems to think the Zipperhead Left is going to drop their bongs and crystals and pick up an AK for LA REVOLUTION!

Good luck with that plan, kid.

#12 Come on now, the most important freedom, the freedom to extort money from the productive.

#11 'Will you do whatever it takes, including taking up arms?..."

Which arms are those, Ted?

The ones you want nobody to be able to have?

"At stake: our lives, the planet, freedom..."

Other than the freedom to have sex with whatever and whomever you want, and write about it or film it and call it art, what freedoms do the left actually care about?

#9 This is what psychiatrists call projection, right?

#8 Stake. Firewood. Ted. Rope. Kindling. Match. Ford F-150 pickups. Beer. Some assembly required.

#7 Ted Rall is certifiably nuts. His mumblings sound like the last gasp of a dying radical movement. The founding fathers had the wisdom to develop the Bill of Rights of which the Second Amendment is a part. No wonder the anti-gunners are all about confiscation and control. As I recall, guns were gathered up during and after Katrina. The people could not defend themselves from the thugs. The socialists/radical left/communists would love to disarm this country if they could figure out how to do it just as Adolph Hitler did and other dictators.

#6 The last thing the Left really wants to do is remove the collar from the core of America. Pictures of Charleston SC after Sherman finished with it or Tokyo after LeMay dealt with it should give one pause to consider going to war. Particularly a movement that is dependent upon urban islands to sustain itself. What Katrina did to New Orleans should have been a warning that populations that are dependent upon imported food, water, power and sustainment are vulnerable to interdiction from without.

The basis of power is not the ballot box, but as Lincoln extolled as 'the last full measure of devotion'. The Left expects their cannon fodder rather than themselves to pay that price. They'll find out that union thugs, gang members, academics from the studies departments, and welfare dependents do not an army make.

#5 To all the socialist-revoluntionaries out there - pls heed "Rall's Call" - I just cleaned my arsenal over the weekend and need some trigger time before deer season starts...I'll actually feel worse about the deer.

His delirious ranting reminds me of the scene in the Blues Brothers movie where the Nazis are marching and ranting about jews using blacks against whites and what were the whitey's going to do about it. Hilarious crap - youtube it if you get a chance.

#4 Bring it, Rally-boy. We will make sure your corpse goes on the pile of all the other tin-pot dictators that have tried to steal American's freedoms.

#2 Nappie wants to keep tabs on the right cause she agrees with this lunatic.

#1 If he would take his meds, like a psychiatrist would tell him to do, he would feel better and not say these loopy things.
