You’ve probably already heard this; in the wake of the emailed death threat to Republican senators last week, someone has sent conservative blogger Ann Althouse a threat, presented here in its vulgar entirety (emphasis added by me):
“We will picket on public property as close to your house as we can every day. We will harrass the ever loving shit out of you all the time. Campus is OCCUPIED. State street is OCCUPIED. The Square is OCCUPIED. Vilas, Schenk’s Corners, Atwood, Willy Street – Occupied, Occupied, Occupied, Occupied. Did you really think it was all about the Capitol? Fuck the Capitol, we are the CITY… We have the numbers and we don’t back down from anyone. We all know each other. We all know each other. We know each other from Service Industry Night at the Orpheum, because we’re regulars at the same coffee shops, restaurants and bars, we know each other from the co-ops, we know each other because we’ve had a million jobs each (and we all worked at CapTel at least once), because we live in every shitty townie house in ever-changing groups of 2 – 7 people, because we are young and horny and screw each other incessantly, because we’re all on facebook, and because we aren’t anti-social, life-denying, world-sterilizing pieces of human garbage like the two of you. WE WILL FUCK YOU UP. We will throw our baseballs in your lawn, you cranky old pieces of shit, and then we will come get them back. What are you gonna do? Shoot us? Get Wausau Tea Patriots to form an ad hoc militia on your front lawn? That would be fucking HILAROUS to us. You could get to know the assholes on your side in real fucking life instead of sponging off the civil society we provide for you every single day you draw breath.”
Thanks for that “civil society”, scumbags!
The not-very-fringe, over-entitled, spoiled-rotten near-left is the moldy underbelly of American society.
Every example of true mass depravity in recent American history – every one, without exception – has come from the Big Left.
No exceptions.
Answer for this, lefties.
Of course, whenever a lefty decides to run off at the mouth, a conservative blogger is there to humiliate their entitled, upper-middle-class asses. In this case, it’s Robert Stacy “The Other” McCain (emphasis added):
The terroristic screed against University of Wisconsin law professor Ann Althouse was posted on a Web account of Madison resident Jim Shankman.
In a Facebook status update about 9 p.m. this evening, Shankman wrote:
Because of a right-blogosphere campaign to silence me, I have been forced to commit Identity Suicide. I have never supported or advocated violence for any purpose other than self-defense against terror attacks by the armed wing of the American Right….
A “campaign to silence” you, Jim? And what was your obscenity-filled rant against Professor Althouse?
McCain also adds:
We have seen this before in American history. The lesson is a bit too close to home — and a bit too fresh in memory – for me to let it pass unmentioned. The privileged never surrender privilege willingly. They employ demagogic appeals to rally others to their self-interested “cause” by demonizing those who dare challenge them. And if someone gets hurt in the process, if some of those duped by the demagoguery decide to turn wrathful words into violent deeds . . .
Madison has become the Neshoba County, Mississippi, of this season. “Workers’ rights” is the Jim Crow of 2011 and government-employee unions are the new Klan.
Naturally, not a word from the MSM.
UPDATE: Ann Althouse will join us on the Northern Alliance at 1PM tomorrow on AM1280. Tune in.
If your girlfriend looked like that, you’d be writing screeds, too. Sorry, that was mean.
Actually, I’m not sorry. A loser and a coward. I went to college with a dozen people like him. Half of them used their daddy’s money to become the evil capitalists they used to decry and the rest are either baristas or associate professors of semiotics, which is a distinction without a difference.
Hmm, “demonizing those who dare challenge them”. Sounds like a certain clown we are all familiar with. And Joy Behar. And Keith Olbermann. And Bill Maher. And David Letterman. And…
I now officially hate public employee union members.

This has gone way past cancerous. These are the people who murdered millions in the USSR, China, Cuba, Cambodia, Eastern Europe.
I’m sorry, but elected representative work for US. When you f#$@ing spoiled little brats threaten them, you threaten us all.
There should be some vigorous prosecutions in Wisconsin. I won’t hold my breath.

Even public employee union members that desire to be in a union? Minnesota is not a “right to work” state.
Naturally, not a word from the MSM.
While the “Douchebag Makes Impotent Threats to Wine-Swilling Blogger” story is definitely front page material, I’m sure they’ve been somewhat busy lately, what with the nuclear holocaust in Japan and looming war with Libya and all. Still, keep your hopes up; maybe they’ll start shooting abortion doctors!
Well, I understand that he is _your_ douchebag, Tim in StP.
Unfortunately, snap decisions about what threats are “impotent” or real are much easier to make (because the judgment carries no consequences for you) when you aren’t the target.
Tim you are at least partly right. A dimwit in Madistan doesn’t necessarily draw national news.
A Tsunami, Nuke plant in possible meltdown, several Mid east countries in meltdown, a National Budget nightmare and a President planning trips to Ireland and Rio should all be National stories.
Interesting how Tim suggests that Ms. Althouse is “just a wine-swilling blogger.” This suggests that he is not paying attention to Mitch’s “Logic for Lefties” series, in which the ad hominem fallacy has recently been discussed.
Reality here, Tim, is that liberal enclaves do tend to get weird in their echo chambers, and when people make threats to public figures, it ought to be news in a republic like ours. It also ought to be news when we have multiple crises going on, and Comrade Zero spends a lot of time on ESPN with his NCAA tournament picks.
Tim, don’t forget the importance of the President’s NCAA picks, which apparently warrants all sorts of MSM ink.
A “nuclear holocaust in Japan”? A “looming war with Libya”? Gosh Tim, are you really that deranged or are you a classic satire troll? Seriously, no one can be that stupid, not even a lefty Democrat.
Well, maybe Joy Behar and Whoopie Goldberg. And Ed Schultz. Come to think of it…
THREADJACK warning.
I never ask for this kind of stuff, but I’d like some help from anyone that has a twitter account.
John Lesch (Democratscumbag) got a big award from the Saint Paul teachers union, and I’m pissed as hell.
Please re-tweet this from me, or make one up yourselves. This dirtbag needs a big whoppin’ dose of humiliation.
RT @TJSwift @johnlesch That big @SPFTeachers award going 2 look *great* on Ur ego wall! Congrats! #40percentofSPPSstudentsfail2graduate #stribpol #mnleg
I now return this thread to it’s moonbat bashing.
Tim is lying. If there were a nuclear holocaust in Japan and a war with Libya president Obama wouldn’t waste his time playing golf or televising his basketball tournament picks.
Good try though, Tim!
I disagree Terry. Obama would undoubtedly continue to golf. 61 times in the last two years while America sinks into bankruptcy. It’s not that Mr. Obama doesn’t care. It is about the fact that he thinks America should suffer.
Dirtbag in Chief. 2012 can’t come soon enough.
We all know each other….We all know each other….We all know each other….signed Anonymous! Another tough talking COWARD.
“I have never supported or advocated violence…” NO! Just threats and intimidation. Piss Ant
“What are you gonna do? Shoot us?” ooooooooooo, a challenge?
Has me thinking of a (tongue in cheek) Mark Twain quote:
“I thoroughly disapprove of duels. If a man should challenge me, I would take him kindly and forgivingly by the hand, lead him to a quiet place, and kill him.”
“because we are young and horny and screw each other incessantly”
Sounds like similar behavior to the Pygmy Chimpanzee.
“Nuclear holocaust in Japan..” Tim, I didn’t know you were such a drama queen. So 6 million or so have died from radiation already? I didn’t know.
Tim is an idiot. This has already been firmly established.
never hurts for him to confirm our thesis though Kerm.
