Lib Talker Ed Schultz Says Conservatives "Want Obama to Get Shot;" Ignores Fact Most Presidential Assassins are Leftists and/or Nuts

Fresh off of liberal talker Mike Malloy calling for Glenn Beck to commit suicide live on television, liberal blowhard Ed Shultz has the gall to claim that conservatives want President Obama murdered, apparently for Marxism that Shultz seemed ready to concede:

SCHULTZ (04:53): Sometimes I think they want Obama to get shot. I do! I really think that there are conservative broadcasters in this country who would love to see Obama taken out. They *fear* socialism, they fear Marxism. They fear that the United States of America won't be the United States of America anymore.

It's nice for Shultz to admit Obama's ideology is somewhere between socialism and Marxism, but let's get to his key claim, that conservative broadcasters want President Obama to be shot.

In a nation of more than 300 million people, there are always extremists to either side of every sitting President who would like to think their problems would go away if the President was killed, but who acts upon these impulses, and who rarely goes beyond rhetoric? The evidence beyond the rhetoric is clear.

There have been more than 83 (and as many as 90) attempted Presidential assassinations or plots, and four assassination attempts were successful.

John Wilkes Booth's Ford Theater killing of Abraham Lincoln was the murder of a liberal Republican President by a conservative southern Democrat. James Garfield's killing was the work of a deranged Charles Guiteau. The other two successful assassinations were the work of leftist radicals Leon Czolgosz (McKinley) and Lee Harvey Oswald (Kennedy). 50-percent of successful assassinations were carried out by leftists.

In a quick scan of Wikipedia's list of assassination attempts and plots, we find that of those attempts listed, eight were carried out by people with leftist ideologies, while just two had a clearly conservative ideology (the rest were had unclear ideologies, were criminals, terrorists, or had a wide range mental health issues). The list provided by Wikipedia is of course very incomplete, but it is clear in showing that the most committed assassins (in a non-mental health facility sort of way) have been various leftists.

Any why, praytell, would any conservative boradcaster (or any conservative, for that matter) want Barack Obama assassinated?

The death of the 44th President would leave us with President Joe Biden. No conservative—no American—wants that horror foisted upon us. And even if a plot could be devised to remove both the current President and Vice President, then we would be left with something even worse: President Nancy Pelosi.

Shultz can prattle on insanely on MSNBC as he is wont to do, but the simple fact of the matter is that no conservative wants anything but a long life for President Obama.

The thought of the incompetent alternatives waiting in the wings is too much to bear.

I wish President Obama a long life but a short administration. The thought of Obama as martyr is too much to bear.

I just wish he'd get impeached and move to Kenya or something

I'm a right wing Southern conservative white man and the last thing I want is for Obama to be assassinated.
For one thing that would make him a martyr. The godlike reverence of his cultists is bad enough without that.
I want him run out of office in disgrace, preferably exiled to some socialist paradise, his name forever a curse.

I do not want the President shot. That way is WRONG and most dangerous for the nation, as mentioned above, plus some. It gives the Marxists in power a reason to turn this country on its head. If obama is shot, it will be by uber leftists hoping to use the excuse to turn this country into a gulag and finish the police state. I want to see obama and his thugs do the perp walk 01-20-2013. THAT is justice and that is the way Americans handle bad politicians and their cronies.

When you've said "Leftist", you've already said "Nut". It's stylistically inelegant to repeat yourself.

Posted by: Jim at August 14, 2009 12:38 PM

CY,

That is an "inconvenient truth" that liberals/leftists/"progressives" never like to face.

If Schultz wants to worry about that he better start taking a good, hard look and the radical left that is becoming increasingly "disenchanted" with their 0bamamessiah.

Posted by: Nahanni at August 14, 2009 01:33 PM

I'm going to assume that all the people that think Glenn Beck is inflammatory (I don't watch the guy, personally) will be all over Schultz (who I have had the misfortune of being subjected to) for this...any minute now...just you wait...here it comes...

Posted by: ECM at August 14, 2009 02:48 PM

Who the hell is Ed Schultz and what the fook is MSNBC.

Posted by: gus at August 14, 2009 02:51 PM

This Shultz guy is just pathetic. I watched about tow minutes of his "interview" with Schiff and he was so over the top and obnoxious I had to turn it off. It does not surprise me him saying this, the left is in full desperation mode.

I too have said Obama should be shot, BUT, very carefully in the balls and other privates! DON'T make that socialist idiot a symbol. All of his socialist programs MUST be defeated, to block his Hitler like attempt to become the world Dictator. He's a smooth talker, but NOT a student of history. Idiot Obama wants to repeat the worst failures in US and world history. DON'T shoot the idiot (except in his privates), just shoot down all his USA destroying bills!

A previous comment I posted here:


Lets take a look at the Right wing extremist journey of our 44th President shall we:

Barrack HUSSEIN Obama
He's Arab
He's a Muslim
He likes to pal around with terrorists
"I mean, who IS Barrack HUSSEIN Obama?"
He don't like white people
He loves white women
He's a Liberal
No...He's a Socialist
No...He's a Communist
No...He's a Nazi
HE'S ALL OF THE ABOVE!!!
He's a racist
He's THE JOKER
He wants to take away all our guns
He wants to pay for abortions (never mind the $2.2 billion Bush gave to Planned Parenthood. Outrage? No? Awful lot of abortions? Ya sure?)
He wants to kill all the old people
He wants to lock up the Conservatives
He wants to censor us
He's invoking marshal law
He wants to send you all to FEMA camps
He's destroying the Constitution
He's a thug
He's a hoodlum
He hates Jews
He loves Muslims
He's in bed with terrorists
He's not aggressive
He's too aggressive
He's an illegal alien
He's Hitler
He's Stalin
He's the Anti-Christ
He's carrying out our "Final Solution"
He's forming a death panel
We need to rise up
Arm yourselves
We need a revolution
Take back our country
Go get your guns
Buy as many guns as you can
Bring your guns to town hall meetings
Bring your guns to Washington
We don't have enough guns
We need more guns
We have a militia
We need a militia
We have sleeper cells through out our country
He's taking away our freedom
He's destroying capitalism
He hates puppies
Glenn Beck slipped poison in Nancy Pelosi's wine glass effectively enacting her assassination on national TV.

Now you keep droning this crap daily to that one man sitting at home in his living room. He's disillusioned, not too bright, angry for many reasons, hates minorities, can't find a job, can't support his family or maybe can't get a family. He has right-wing views but doesn't know where the line is drawn. He has guns. He has beliefs and with this constantly droning rhetoric, he has purpose. If he succeeds, he's a hero saving America from Evil. If he fails, he's martyr and an inspiration for the next gunman. Limbaugh, Malkin, Beck, Hannity, Palin and the likes know this and are constantly speaking to them with enough purpose to inspire but not too much to be implicated. Constantly saying "DO IT! DO IT! DO IT!" without actually saying it.

UPDATE:

Carrying "Death To Obama" signs at MD Town Hall meetings.

Another one was carrying a sign stating "Death To Michelle And Her Two Stupid Kids". A sign endorsing the assassination of two children from the people who whine about Palin's kids.

A dimwit shows up at a Presidential event carrying a loaded weapon with a sign inciting "patriotic" violence.

Rep David Scott had a swastika painted on his office sign and received violence inciting letters including one letter that had the Obama Joker image on top and the letter stated:

Death To All Marxists!
Foreign and Domestic!
You were
You are
And
You Shall Forever Be But a Nigga
"The Ethiopian Cannot Make Himself White"

Ear Leader needs to remain a live failure, to serve as a living argument against liberal ideas and methods.

dead he'd become another Che, a monument to incompetence, ignorance and the power of human stupidity and gullibility.

If anyone whacks Obama it'll be a disgruntled life long democrat union member who lost their job/house/and family.

Posted by: Purple Avenger at August 14, 2009 08:31 PM

I believe Jack Stephenson is a prime example and idiots like him are large in numbers.

Posted by: Lipiwitz at August 14, 2009 08:52 PM

Wonder if Schultz was one of those leftists that fantasized about Bush being shot??

Posted by: feeblemind at August 15, 2009 11:46 AM

"He has right-wing views but doesn't know where the line is drawn. He has guns. He has beliefs and with this constantly droning rhetoric, he has purpose."

Lipiwitz - You make a good point. Liberal hate TV probably does a lot to incite violence with people like Olbermann, Schultz, Schuster, Maddow, the CNN crowd, endlessly droning on about with lies about the racist, bigoted right. It's almost enough to drive sane people crazy.

Posted by: daleyrocks at August 15, 2009 12:24 PM

Actually, Obama's doing a fine job of shooting himself. Good thing he has armored shoes, or his feet would look like Swiss Cheese.

Maybe it IS a plot!

one, two, three, douche bag...

EXPOSURE. That's the only thing we want to happen to the President.

Dang!
What part of "Don't tread on me' does Ed Schultz not get?

Posted by: Mockingbird at August 15, 2009 05:25 PM

@CY: "The thought of the incompetent alternatives waiting in the wings is too much to bear."

I hear the right-wing nutjobs have that covered with a plan to wipe 'em all out. I read it on the Internetz so it MUST be true.

Cripes, MY plan would be to wipe out the nutjobs.

Posted by: DoorHold at August 16, 2009 12:24 PM

Mockingbord...what part of "Don't Tread On Me" do YOU not get? Elections have consequences. Elections matter. When are you going to respect and accept the democratic process of our nation and stop threatening violence against the majority who threw you and you rhetoric out of office? You know where the door is. Feel free to kiss Lady Liberty's ass on the way out!

daleyrocks...please give one example as to where those names you mentioned endorsed the assassination of a democratically elected official. One example equivalent to Glenn Beck acting out a skit on Fox News where he assassinated a democratically elected official by "slipping poison is Speaker Pelosi's glass of wine". One example as to where the names you mentioned were that fascist. They wouldn't be droning on about it if there wasn't hours upon hours of video to back it up. Tale of the tape my friend.

America did wipe out the nutjobs in 2006 and 2008. Catch up.

Posted by: Lipiwitz at August 16, 2009 03:21 PM

Lipiwitz - Do you also post as Dude? Doesn't CY ask that you retain one screen name?

Now why would I give you examples of things I never claim people said? Is that your idea of debate Lipiwitz, to claim I said things I never did?

I don't watch Glenn Beck and have no idea what he says other than from liberals like you getting upset about it. He must be doing a good job. It is nice, though, that you automatically assume all conservatives watch Beck or Fox or somehow have responsibility for what is said on that channel. What form of argument is that again? Crappy?

Meanwhile, why don't you address my point about the constant stream of left wing hate coming from your friends in the media that you just dodged.

Posted by: daleyrocks at August 16, 2009 04:26 PM

Gotta agree with SteveP -- I want Obama to live a long life. Heaven help us if his cult of personality has a martyr to worship for the next hundred years.

Better that he leave office in disrgrace. Anone else notice there aren't a lot of schools named after James Earl Carter, but you can't throw a rock without htting something named after JFK? Let's see to it that Obama is Carterized.

Posted by: MrSpkr at August 16, 2009 07:39 PM

daleyrocks....I stopped at "why would I give you examples". Obviously you have none and there is no need for me to read your comment any further.
