Liberal Blogger Calls For Assassination of Ted Nugent & Rush Limbaugh
Liberal blogger Hart Williams called for the assassination of both Ted Nugent and Rush Limbaugh recently. Nugent appeared on Fox’s Hannity & Colmes show last night to speak about it as well some other topics. Williams denies he called for the assassinations claiming the quotes were taken out of context however I read the whole article Williams wrote and still conclude, as do others, that Williams did indeed call for the assassinations and is now backpeddling furiously. Blue Star Chronicles has more on this as well as Williams’ piece that started all the furor. I also read a comment left on The Northern Muckraker from Williams using a pseudonym claiming that a lack of reading comprehension is the reason why people thought he was threatening Nugent & Limbaugh. However many people, including myself, who do have excellent comprehension skills in reading still conclude that Williams did, in fact, call for the assassination of both Limbaugh and Nugent. This is the peaceful nature of the liberal extremist?
UPDATE #1: A Hart Williams defender left a comment claiming that Williams didn’t call for the assassination of Limbaugh and Nugent but was calling “for an end of hate speech by right-wingers like Rush and Nugent because it would inevitably lead to a civil war.” However if one bothers to actually read Williams’ piece, it becomes apparent that Williams also called for the killing of Limbaugh and Nugent. So my point stands and is correct. As to the claims of “hate speech” by Limbaugh and Nugent, that’s ludicrous on its own. And for what Limbaugh and Nugent say leading to “civil war” is merely a fantasy that Williams and/or the commentor imagine. Doesn’t matter. Both the “hate speech” and the “civil claims” are equally assinine.
UPDATE #2: I’ve been reading quite a few blogs that have mentioned this and have noticed that Hart Williams has left quite a few comments on many blogs. It’s becoming apparent that he’s thoroughly enjoying his 15 minutes of minor fame and going to milk it for all that it is worth. Especially on liberal blogs that support him and ignore what he actually wrote. Well, if liberals follow their usual pattern, they’ll support him until he writes or says something contrary to the liberal playbook and then they’ll turn on him just as they stabbed other fellow liberals in the back who broke the liberal lockstep in the past.

You really do live in your own world. He never called for assassination. He called for an end of hate speech by right-wingers like Rush and Nugent because it would inevitably lead to a civil war. Why does the context of his words not count, but the context of Ann Coulter’s hateful words is absolutely necessary? Your position makes no logical sense.

I saw this last night. Ted was pretty cool…

Voice, my point was that Williams claimed he didn’t call for the assassination of Limbaugh and Nugent and that his quote was taken out of context. However even when taken in context, the obvious intent through his words was that he wished someone would kill both Limbaugh and Nugent. That is an undeniable fact. I never said not implied that the context didn’t count…I am saying that the context didn’t change the intent and meaning one whit. You bringing up Ann Coulter is a major red herring. The fact remains, Hart Williams wished someone would kill both Rush Limbaugh and Ted Nugent according to what he wrote. To deny Williams did that as you are attempting to do is intellectually disingenuous.
My position makes sense and I stand by it.

Angry and combative Hart Williams has been submitting comments in diverse places on teh internets all year calling for violence:
This is brilliant stuff, Ryan. The best response to madness is satire. And, then, ONLY if the knuckle-draggers don’t calm down, THEN violence..
I’m very pragmatic about wanting to see Bush hung by the neck until dead .
However, justice would be to hang the sons of bitches on the Washington Mall as a warning to other would-be tyrants and wannabe emperors.
He sounds like he has been dangerously angry for months. I hope the people he is threatening take appropriate security precautions.
