SWATing the latest fun and games from the progressive left

You're asleep in bed, your wife next to you and the kids sound asleep in their rooms. You're awoken in the middle of the night by a SWAT team with guns drawn looking for you because you called the Police saying you'd murdered your wife. With Police helicopters overhead, you're taken out in handcuffs, your house searched and your wife and children traumatized.

Your crime? Writing a blog the progressive left doesn't agree with.

It's not an isolated incident.

It's a game of hardball that's being played. With take no prisoners, scorched earth tactics used by progressives that never grew up but learned to play children's games at a whole new level.

Fight back this fall. Think before you vote.
 
Yes, do think before you vote, about all the terrible policies the right wants to enact, and understand crimes by individuals have nothing to do with those votes.

A right-winger shot Congresswoman Giffords - so everyone in the country, vote Democratic next election, think before you vote!
 
I agree with this somewhat...the country is moving to a socialist state.

Cops and our military are the mechanism to deliver.

I think that's an insane paranoia.

Where's the concern when our forces are used wrongly against others?

In that panaroid fantasy claiming this story has anything to do with a police state move, what did the police do wrong?

They get an emergency call and respond. Should they not have responded?

Also funny how the right is not much concerned when the targets are the left.

This guy is part of the group who have been spreading lies getting people to wrongly lose their jobs - we also don't hear much against Republican voter suppression...

no shit you do. You are a good citizen. You will get a brick of gold and a mansion plus 4 cattle and a donkey during the coup.
 
If true then this is pretty disgusting behavior from people who cannot form a proper counter-argument but instead must rely on criminal behavior to go after people with differing political views.

Another bald faced lie from another progressive.

Uhh, no. It's likely the result of a personal feud with a far left outlaw.

It has nothing to do with the "progressive left" other than that, but it's a nice attempted smear, undoubtedly resulting in a circle jerk of self righteous outrage among the usual participants.

The poor persecuted members of the right wing really need to get over themselves.

Pretty much.

I typed in "swating" into Google and the first search brought me to this link.

So your argument is that the L.A. County Prosecutor is not dead so all this is just some ho-hum shit? He'd have had a legitimate issue if his cell phone had in fact been mistaken for a gun and he'd been shot dead? You're condoning the behavior?

Ok, so your opinion is that most likely it's not what it appears to be and should be dismissed and ignored. This is the "feeling" you have?
 
This whole thing reeks of bullshit and here's my reasoning/logic of why I think so:

1. I seriously doubt that SWAT has nothing better to do then to go all out over a report of a murder that's supposedly already occurred.

2. The guy reporting it is just as big of a political hack and those he's accusiing of the same thing

3. The guy is a freaking ADA and he can't bring charges against someone for filing a false police report and wasting city/county resources?

4. This has absolutely nothing to do with "progressives" and (if true) everything to do with a few individuals who are taking things too far to "win" some imaginary fight against their "evil-doer" opponent

5. Once again, if true, if you want to pin these actions as accurate representations of "progressives", you have to own the fact then that everything said/done by Rush Limbaugh, Michelle Malkin, Ann Coulter and every one of these "homo-hating" preachers supporting "conservative" views, is an accurate representation of all conservatives' beliefs.

Thanks for the rant. I linked to articles backing up my post. You?

Ok, so you really need to construct a strawman to counter the fact that your original assertion wrt progressives was a fallacy of composition.

I readily concur that that Swat-ing is wrong & dangerous. OTOH, it's rare & tarring all progressives with it is also wrong.

Both instances are examples of personal feuds that the victims instigated of their own volition by attacking somebody else in their blogs. The second is suspect on the basis of this alone-

He said he had already warned the sheriff's department that such a call was a possibility.

You act as if progressives endorse swat-ing with your call to arms wrt voting, when we don't, not at all.

Like I said, Righties need to get over themselves, find issues of substance rather than relying on sensationalistic tarbrush attacks intended to garner sympathy.
 
Some guy acts like an asshole and suddenly its a sign that leftists are once again systematically persecuting poor, defenseless conservatives. What is it with the right's culture of victimhood?

Holy shit you are quite the liar.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jared_Lee_Loughner

"Another former classmate, Caitie Parker, who attended high school and college with Loughner,[38] described his political views as "radical."[39] "As I knew him he was left wing, quite liberal," said Parker of Loughner in an online interview with Anthony De Rosa of Reuters Media. Parker, a self-described liberal activist and environmentalist,[40] also remembered Loughner as a "pot head".[41] Loughner has a history of drug use, having been arrested in September 2007 for possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.[42] "I haven't seen him in person since '07," Parker recalled in early 2011. "I'm looking back at this [as] a 14–19 year old...who knows if any of us knew what for sure we were yet."[43]

According to a former friend, Bryce Tierney, Loughner had exhibited a longstanding dislike for Gabrielle Giffords. Tierney recalled that Loughner had oft expressed a view that women should not hold positions of power.[44][45] He repeatedly derided Giffords as a "fake". This belief intensified after he attended her August 25, 2007 event when she did not, in his view, sufficiently answer his question: "What is government if words have no meaning?"[15] (Loughner kept Giffords' form letter, which thanked him for attending the 2007 event, in the same box as an envelope which was scrawled with phrases like "die bitch" and "assassination plans have been made".)[46] Zane Gutierrez, a friend, later told the New York Times that Loughner's anger would also "well up at the sight of President George W. Bush, or in discussing what he considered to be the nefarious designs of government."[45]

Loughner's best friend, Zach Osler, said, "He did not watch TV; he disliked the news; he didn't listen to political radio; he didn't take sides; he wasn't on the Left; he wasn't on the Right." Osler also noted that conspiracy theories had a profound effect on Loughner, particularly the online conspiracy theory film Zeitgeist: The Movie, with which friends claimed Loughner held an obsession.[12][47] He was a member of the conspiracy theory message board, Above Top Secret, although members of the site did not respond warmly to his posts.[48][49][50] Loughner espoused 9/11 conspiracy theories;[45] New World Order conspiracy theories; and beliefs in a 2012 apocalypse, among other controversial viewpoints. Reports appearing after the shooting noted similarities between the statements made by Loughner and the views of conspiracy theorist David Wynn Miller.[51][52][53]"


People tried to pin him left/right from the day of the shooting, and most importantly the left has tried to pin him to the right most vocally. It simply isn't the truth. He was a mentally disturbed individual that snapped. Period. ... Or do you want us to pick at elements of his personality that could tie him to the left?
 
Loughner's politics are immaterial, given that he's likely schizophrenic, suffering from extreme delusions.

The boy ain't right- it's just that simple.

Par for the course for you, you are offensive, and you lie.

My impression from what I've seen is that the shooter had a right-wing orientation.

At the worst, my impression was incorrect - not 'a lie'. If I determined he wasn't right-wing, I'd apologize for the error.

But it's not clear that's not the case. A quick review of the information suggests that in fact he was right-wing oriented - though he had problems much more dominant.

For example:

http://crooksandliars.com/david-neiwert/sorry-right-wing-talkers-loughners-r

So, it's arguable he was in fact a 'right-wing shooter' as I said, though I would use another example in hindsight to make the point.

The point was only that one or a few examples of right-wing people acting badly being said to be 'the right' doing those things would be the equivalent of the OP saying that the one or few people who happen to be on the left doing acting badly means it's 'progressives now do these things'.

So just substitute any other right-wing bad action in my statement - take the guy who was arrested onhis way to shoot up the liberal institute in San Francisco, for example.

Your post, though, is offensive and a lie.

hard to tell really with the Loughner one, right wingers fit the definition perfectly of paranoid schizophrenia -vast conspiracies against them the eternal victims with a huge sociopathic delusional complex that they are the one and only crusaders of righteousness.

I think its more right wing media attracts schizophrenics, so when you see one unaffiliated it is a fluke.

The ron paul/new world order/gold standard types are more severe cases who are past the point of mainstream right wing talk radio schizophrenic delusion.
