- AgeofMastery, on 05/28/2009, -27/+189But the far right insists they're not violent or a threat...
- Pash1994, on 05/29/2009, -4/+162The ad is here - second ad column near the top.

I know Pennsylvania very well. As James Carville once said, too often, "it's Philadelphia on one end, Pittsburgh on the other, with Alabama in the middle." - MrColdheart, on 05/28/2009, -6/+107FTA
“Unfortunately, the attitude of the person who placed the ad is too prevalent in Pennsylvania,” said Michael Morrill, the executive director of Keystone Progress. “In the last few days we’ve gotten emails calling the president ‘chimp’ and the n-word after he nominated Judge Sotomayor. - kurttrail, on 05/29/2009, -8/+90The Nazis were not the far left, the Commies were. And the Nazis hated the commies, and killed them, like they killed jews, gays, and the feeble minded.
And look at the neo-Nazis of today, they are the far right. - inactive, on 05/28/2009, -16/+97That's right AoM, they're peaceful, innocent little lambs....who keep waving their guns around and raving about "taking back the country" then get offended when the big, bad, police think that they might be worth watching.
- Insightful, on 05/29/2009, -14/+88Conservatives: The only way to look respectful out of this is to agree that any ads that calls for assassination of any US President tasteless and illegal.
If you do this, you make yourself more intelligent, reasonable, and more respectable. And who knows, maybe people will actually like your party and your ideas more instead of leaving it in droves. I for one, even though I am a liberal, like a democracy where multiple political parties can flourish.
So, you decide: do you want to look petulant and hateful or do you want to look reasonable and respectable?
My suggestion: it is time for you to start taking the high road. - inactive, on 05/29/2009, -12/+81Feel free to point out any liberals on digg who are threatening to use violence to acheive their goals.
- donjacko, on 05/29/2009, -5/+67Kigcoopa84 you are an utter moron. the nazis were socialist only in name- being about as far right as a party can go.
go learn some ****ing history - AgeofMastery, on 05/29/2009, -8/+68The violently radical left has been nonexistent in the US since the 70s. The closest we have today are the fringe ecological groups, and they're more concerned with blowing up SUVs than the people who drive them.
- charlie6969, on 05/29/2009, -9/+66When, exactly, did it become (not illegal) ok to call for the assassination of a sitting president?
January 20, 2009? - inactive, on 05/29/2009, -12/+66Even then *****. Liberals by and large aren't violent.
- ProfessorSYM, on 05/29/2009, -9/+62And rightwing extremism bombed a Federal building containing a daycare full of American children.
And the guys who did that espoused the same kind of rhetoric that you Glenn Beck followers are talking about now (tyranny of government, taking the country back, etc.) - bicyclethief, on 05/29/2009, -1/+53Helloooo Secret Service.
- inactive, on 05/29/2009, -5/+51The used the name national socialist party to attract more recruits, the Nazis were about as far right as you can go. There are also different spectrums of Letf/Right there is economic Left/Right as well as social Left/Right. Anyone who makes the argument the Nazis were Left/Left is just an idiot.They may have had some economically leftist policies, but socially, I don't think you can get any further right.When people accuse fringe groups on the right of being Nazis, they're not talking about economically. They're talking about blind nationalism, goosestepping in line and doing whatever your masters tell you.
- Disgod, on 05/29/2009, -2/+41Reading the ad, I can almost believe that most people at the Paper didn't really understand the message, because of the way it is presented.
"May Obama follow in the footsteps of Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley, & Kennedy."
If you don't have an understanding of history it sounds innocuous enough. Some random person in the ad department, who has no real historical knowledge could probably accept that and think they were praising Obama.
Why blame this on malice on the part of the newspaper when incompetence and ignorance is a perfectly rational reason for letting it in the paper. - Pash1994, on 05/29/2009, -0/+39Apology published today . . .
Pennsylvania Paper: Sorry for assassination ad
http://digg.com/politics/Pennsylvania_Paper_Sorry_ ... - cliffzdude, on 05/29/2009, -13/+49If you guys are willing to paint conservatives with such a broad brush to call them basically "violent" as a group, we've all lost - for you've decided to ignore the truth and takes sides created by those who wish to have power over you. The vast majority of Democrats and Republicans work together, live together, play together, and even love together without cause. To even attempt to paint a party as "more violent" than the other is preposterous, biased, and prejudiced.
- jiggawatt, on 05/29/2009, -8/+42Stay classy Pennsylvania
- MeiMeiX, on 05/29/2009, -15/+48I'm amazed that grown men even when discussing treason and murder won't say the word *****. It's just a word.
- FredFredrickson, on 05/29/2009, -5/+38It's sad how Bush can take us to hell and back and none of these people get too riled up, but when a black man gets put into office to replace, all hell breaks loose.
- donjacko, on 05/29/2009, -7/+39southwestnut- obama is not a radical. by european standards hes practically centre right.
the GOP on the other hand.... - SOS84, on 05/29/2009, -4/+36Warren is a redneck hick town near the periphery of Appalachia. Between my wife and two young children we have more teeth combined than the entire town, not to mention college degrees and high school diplomas. If Altoona is the armpit of Pennsylvania, Warren is where you stick the enema.
- billraydrums, on 05/29/2009, -3/+34I hope this person is apprehended under the auspices of the Patriot act. He has clearly made terrorist threats and on a grand scale.
- AgeofMastery, on 05/29/2009, -12/+40"No" what's worse than that? You're spelling, I'm sure you "no" what I'm talking about.
- implosive, on 05/29/2009, -2/+25Thanks for the link.
- jiggawatt, on 05/29/2009, -2/+25Yeah. Before that you were a terrorist or traitor, but somehow it's all changed. I'm not saying it should have been OK before.
- Kannebas, on 05/29/2009, -0/+21"I think you may have noticed that some of Senator Obama's supporters have been saying some pretty nasty things about Western Pennsylvania lately, and you know, I couldn't agree with them more" - John McCain
- billraydrums, on 05/29/2009, -1/+22Yeah, I did. And in the meantime, some 16 year old is being held under the patriot act because his IP ADDRESS was attached to a threat.

Whoever posted this classified ad knew full well what they were doing. - imautobot, on 05/29/2009, -0/+21I have family near Warren, PA. If you lived in that ***** hole you might have a backward thought that Obama is the source of all your problems. But the fact remains that Warren has been a cesspool since I was born! I wonder if the Warren Times Observer will allow me to run an ad hoping that their smelly oil refinery blows up? That city is so worthless that even Warren County Fair isn't held there. Even carneys don't want anything to do with that dump.
- inajeep, on 05/29/2009, -2/+23I'm afraid it's gonna being a long climb for them to get to the high road. Your talking to a very diverse group of people. Some are reasonable and just have a different political view while others (the ones you are focusing on) are mentally not able to deal with losing, able to compromise, might be a full blown or partial racist and/or are too far into the us vs them to except your very good suggestion.
- MarkOfTheDead, on 05/29/2009, -10/+30IM GONNA GO ON DIGG AND POST ABOUT THINGS I HATE, REGUARDLESS OF IF THEY ARE RELEVANT TO THE THREAD AT ALL.
- MrColdheart, on 05/29/2009, -4/+24I agree
But it's a word that some people find offensive while I'd be willing to bet that not a lot of people find the word murder or treason offensive. - EricSchC1, on 05/29/2009, -0/+18No one ran ads in newspapers calling for W.'s head. Not the same thing.
- SOS84, on 05/29/2009, -2/+19You obviously have never visited Warren. I have. Big mistake. While driving through I swear I heard banjos in the distance.
- imautobot, on 05/29/2009, -3/+20dugg down for being a douche.
- EricSchC1, on 05/29/2009, -2/+19Republicans did a pretty good job of trying, and in many cases succeeding, in scaring the piss out of a lot of Americans, over the last decade or so. Bill Ayers? ***** you...Dick Cheney's got more blood on his hands than him.
- implosive, on 05/29/2009, -7/+23I would have liked to have seen that actual ad!
- inactive, on 05/29/2009, -1/+17Calling for murder isn't protected by free speech.
- enki25, on 05/29/2009, -2/+18So the weirdos are spelling Obama with a 0 now huh? Clever.
- enki25, on 05/29/2009, -6/+21Holy crap, I thought your comments above about the Nazis being liberals were funny. Why is it that hardcore right wingers are always grade school drop outs? Correlation or causation?
- oceandead, on 05/29/2009, -0/+15I hope the person responsible for the ad is apprehended and prosecuted under the pre-patriot act laws, given due process, tried and convicted (if found guilty) in a court of law by a jury of his peers.
I didn't vote for Bush. I didn't want the Patriot Act.
I wanted the Patriot Act repealed under Bush.
I want it repealed under Obama and the democrats whom I DID vote for - so they could CHANGE things like the Patriot Act (amongst other things). - inactive, on 05/29/2009, -10/+25Oh my, the irony.
- EricSchC1, on 05/29/2009, -1/+15Acknowledging the fact that your violent and a threat just means you've got no business having a voice in any rational discourse or problem solving efforts. Children act violent to express frustration. Are you a child? Grow the ***** up or shut the ***** up.
- s73v3r, on 05/29/2009, -4/+17"The vast majority of Democrats and Republicans work together, live together, play together, and even love together without cause"
I dugg you up because I want this to be true. - transitive, on 05/29/2009, -4/+17its not "conservatives" that are being painted with a broad brush. its right wing extremists, being painted with a narrow brush. lets not forget that outside of 9/11 the most dangerous terrorist groups in America are right wing extremists like Tim McVeigh and other right wing militia types.
i would love to see a strong conservative political party filled with rational and responsible people. but the current republican party has gone too far to embrace right wing extremists and christian religious fanatics. its the closeness between the republican party and the dangerous extremists that makes us so nervous. - AngryAngryBrian, on 05/29/2009, -0/+13Hey Bingo this Thursday!
- thenativeraver, on 05/29/2009, -1/+14Did you even think before posting that?
- jitterbits, on 05/29/2009, -3/+15He was called a chimp and a ***** in letters to the paper. It's not us who dealt the cards.
- inactive, on 05/29/2009, -0/+12I'm outraged at the prospect of anyone calling for the assassination of any president. You're the one being naive here, and not seeing past party lines. Yes, there have been people who have called for the death of Bush, but there have been far more, even extreme liberals, who have denounced such calls. I'm frankly just insulted, because I personally made a point to call out people saying that kind of *****, and you go along and call me a hypocrite.
