Eric Greitens death squad ad

[peppertree]

Some things speak for themselves.

[msongs]

1. so what's the point of posting this and giving it views? nt

[peppertree]

2. Good question.

I should think the point is that as many people as possible should be made aware of this - especially those of us (i.e. Democrats and moderate Republicans) who are likely to become targets if these goose-steppers get their way.

[msongs]

3. problem is libs and progressives are getting this guy more views and pushes it up the youtube

popularity lists which gets it even more views as recommended vids

[peppertree]

5. Maybe - but this is all over cable news already.

And with very good reason.

[luvallpeeps]

14. Thank you!

You’re right. I can’t believe this is even legal!🫣 I’m both horrified and angry. Fuck this bully.

[peppertree]

15. You bet.

It is what it is.

[h2ebits]

4. I have seen this posted on DU today several times. . . .

It needs to be removed from the Internet. YouTube should eliminate it and so should Meidas Touch among others. The guy should be charged with reckless endangerment and anything else we can throw at him.

[peppertree]

7. Yes - on one hand it's brazen incitement to violence, and should be pulled down

But on the other, it's probably best that as many people as possible see this - because many of our fellow voters are, frankly, complacent about the danger that these goose-steppers pose to our democracy.

Reichtens is basically calling for an Argentine-style Dirty War - something many in today's GOP would love to see, let's make no mistake.

[h2ebits]

13. It exacerbates the problem that already exists--it needs to be reported on but

the video needs to be removed from all social media. He should be charged with any and all crimes that he can be hit with.

[peppertree]

16. Well said.

But alas, Reichtens is untouchable in the Show Me state - and the untouchable can't be touched.

6. Next: Librul hunting

[peppertree]

8. Exactly. First those who they feel 'betrayed' them - them those who merely annoy them.

"First we'll kill all the subversives, then we'll kill their collaborators, then their sympathizers, then those who remain indifferent - and finally we'll kill the timid."

Gen. Ibérico Saint Jean, Buenos Aires Province Governor during Argentina's Dirty War in the late '70s.

[ancianita]

18. EXACTLY.

[sop]

9. Greitens (the disgraced former governor, wife beater, child abuser and sexual predator) is taking

the popular Republican candidate posing with guns in a political ad thing a bit too far. Republicans used to only threaten violence against Democrats, now they're declaring war on Republicans who are insufficiently pure. Authoritarians like purges.

[peppertree]

11. But in a way I'm glad he did it

This is the ultimate Kinsley gaffe: he said the quiet part - the almost all MAGAts are saying - out loud.

[magicguido]

10. Dangerous Intimidation; who is he going to get killed?

[peppertree]

12. To paraphrase a well-known Argentine Dirty War culprit from the '70s:

"First we'll kill all the RINOs, then we'll kill the Democrats, then their sympathizers, then those who remain indifferent - and finally we'll kill the timid."

That's the message - loud and clear.

[ancianita]

17. This ad needs to be front and center to Americans. Why?

Because if this ex-military dude and militia gun humpers go after RINOs, guess who's next up. US.
With 2 million point-and-shoot AR-15s already out there.

ALREADY Steve Bannon in his daily podcasts calls his young followers ASSASSINS.

Jason Johnson wants privileged Democrats on the Jan 6 Committee, and everyone else, to get this:
TO REPUBLICANS, POLITICS IS VIOLENCE.

If many here want this call to violence canceled, then they are violence deniers. They ignore recent history at their peril. They can't complain that not enough gets done about Jan 6, while seeing from the hearings those emboldened by this capo's vigilantes who doxx, stalk, and threaten the lives and families of RINOS.

Deny this violence at your peril. This REPUBLICAN POLITICS AS VIOLENCE isn't just the clear and present danger to democracy. It's the clear and present danger to YOU.


Y'all awake yet?

[peppertree]

19. Absolutely.

History shows that political violence tends to snowball - and quickly.

The day a prominent figure is killed - and if the perpetrators are not searched out and vigorously prosecuted, and their sympathizers not kept a close eye on - it's almost always followed by more and more.

And evenutually, the extremists start going after 'soft' targets - not just political figures.
