Former congressman Joe Walsh called for a race war tonight and possibly the assassination of Obama.

[Drunken Irishman]

Report him to the Secret Service.

He deleted the tweet, btw

[Rex]

1. Send it to the media! Hello secret service!?

He just threatened the POTUS!

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

26. Just wow! What a POS!

[bjobotts]

87. arm chair instigator out numbered 10 to 1 calls for war. What a maggot

[maryellen99]

2. I really worry about the presidents safety

I wonder if Trump will be dumb enough to call for the president to be killed. I'm also expecting Obama to be called the N word as well.

[shenmue]

27. Same here

[bjobotts]

88. same here. With all the lies being told about him...just like the Tiller killer so indoctrinated

[Joe the Revelator]

3. Holy Shit

[Rex]

6. The racist praying for a race war are pulling out all the stops.

And Foxnews is helping them.

[one_voice]

24. His twitter feed from tonight

is nasty. Looks like he's trying to start a race war.

[Initech]

28. Alex Jones and his batshit crazy followers are frothing at the mouth over the idea of a race war.

But in reality they have as much credibility of starting a war as Cartman does.

[awoke_in_2003]

98. My thought was similar...

What is this assclown thinking?

[puffy socks]

101. Thinking?

Joe Walsh and thinking don't belong in the same sentence unless it's structured something like this:
I'm thinking Joe Walsh is a total racist pile.

[awoke_in_2003]

102. Good point

Have a good weekend

[puffy socks]

103. Thanks!

You too!

[awoke_in_2003]

104. Will do. nt

[chowder66]

4. Whoa! W.T.F? nt

[uponit7771]

5. Put him in jail right fuckin now

[KeepItReal]

12. with EVERY f@cker that re-tweeted that hateful, threatening tweet

eom

[DisgustipatedinCA]

7. I'd laugh if they got him from 1000 yards. That was your war, Mr. Walsh. Rest in peace.

[Meldread]

8. "Real America" as opposed to what? "Fake America"? Arrest him.

Nothing will happen. He will get away with it.

[King_Klonopin]

32. Real America = White Dominated America to this sick fuckwad.

They really despise the concept of Black Lives Matter.

What he really wants to say is this:
"Shut up, go away, get back in your place, stop complaining, and
stop shedding light on our newest version of lynching in America.
And you better watch your back, #1 black man in the White House
who I hate so much."

This man's life mattered.

The countless lives of those who were killed in similar fashion --
their lives mattered.

Not by coincidence, they all happen to be young black men.

It's the emphasis on the adjective "black" that gets their racist blood
to boiling. They also rue the invention of cell phone video capability.

[raven mad]

9. He is now, and has always been, a racist asshole.

I hope a bunch of folks captured his tweet.

[maddiemom]

95. Isn't he the SOTU "You lie!" guy?

[awoke_in_2003]

99. That was Joe Wilson

But it is hard to tell these jackasses apart.

[bluestateguy]

10. That needs to go to the Secret Service

nt

[uponit7771]

13. +1

[Dawson Leery]

11. Tea Party = Nazi

[forest444]

127. And this guy's from Illinois!

So you can imagine the intensity of the extremist vitriol in states like Mississippi.

I lived there during part of the Clinton years, and heard "he should be killed" or words to that effect more times than I care to remember (and these were "educated" people).

[brettdale]

14. wow

No wonder he deleted it, what a jerk.

[trueblue2007]

116. he did not delete the tweet. TWITTER DID. twitter closed down his account

and only opened it back up on stipulation that he delete the tweet.

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-joe-walsh-twitter-dallas-tweet-20160708-story.html

Former Illinois Congressman Joe Walsh, now a radio talk show host, declared "This is now war" and called for President Barack Obama to "watch out" in a Twitter post reacting to the Dallas shooting that killed five police officers and injured seven.

"This is now war. Watch out Obama. Watch out black lives matter punks. Real America is coming after you," he wrote in the tweet posted Thursday night, which has since been deleted.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM SNIP MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM




According to Walsh, it was up for an hour or so when he received word electronically from Twitter that it had suspended his account.

"They said the tweet might look like it might incite violence," he said.

He said he was allowed to reopen his account only if the tweet was deleted, which he said had happened without him taking action.

"Twitter, Facebook — they're all liberal," he said. "They're private companies and they got their standards that I have to follow if I want to be on Twitter. It is what it is."

"The precondition for me reopening my account was they had to delete that tweet," Walsh said.

Asked about Wash's version of the events, Twitter spokesman Nu Wexler says the company does "not comment on individual accounts, for privacy and security reasons."

Wexler did cite a Twitter rule prohibiting threats of violence or the promotion of violence.

Twitter's rules state there are limits on what content and behavior it allows and that failure to comply with its rules "may result in the temporary locking and/or permanent suspension of account(s)." Several types of messages and images are prohibited, including direct or indirect "violent threats."

"You may not make threats of violence or promote violence, including threatening or promoting terrorism," its rules state.

[momrois]

118. Glad to hear this!

I'm glad to know I wasn't the only one to report this disgusting tweet.

[Maru Kitteh]

131. Holy crap. And he's dumb enough to give an interview about it.

Perfect.

[rufus dog]

15. Stupid, Drunk, with an active Twitter account is no way to go through life Joe

Ignorant fuck.

[maddiemom]

61. Good One!

[kairos12]

75. Very good. I will borrow in the future for dealing with Rethugs. Thanks.

[rufus dog]

76. It isn't an original

Lifted from Animal House

[kairos12]

77. I recalled the passage from Animal House, but I like your turn of that phrase.

[mysuzuki2]

84. "It's worked out for him so far ..."

[Beaverhausen]

16. Trump has emboldened these racists.

[annominous]

67. Listening to the Stephanie Miller show

and they are discussing the Trump effect too. Personally, while I agree, imo that American cops, the killer cops and the cops who cover up for them, are at least as much to blame at Trump. Whoever can't do their jobs as cops without turning into killers are in the wrong job. But once they've turned mad dog killer, they need to be punished. Why can't they just not give in to their urge to kill, what's the problem with that? Whatever is wrong with the cop shops, it's nationwide. As a country, we've gone wrong tolerating these killings, there's been no justice for the victims of mad dog killer cops. It is time for the real american silent majority to raise our voices against these killers. And against the particular brand of hypermasculanism that's feeding the problem. And the gun worship.

So maybe it's good that Trump opened the can of worms. Pretending like racism is a thing of the past hasn't brought any progress. Let's discuss this openly: do Americans want to carry our heritage of racism forward into the future? Or can we just stop?

Also, wtf is Walsh talking about, real america??? By no means do all whites in America want to wage war on others. Maybe it's time that these deluded racist a$$holes find out they are a minority. Either that, or this nation really is full of racist a$$holes and I am the one who is deluded.

[ancianita]

17. What a hit and run coward. A loser who should be detained by the Secret Service.

[AgadorSparticus]

110. Totally agree. He needs to be held in custody for threatening the POTUS.

Un. Fucking. Believable.

[fishwax]

18. wow

[Person 2713]

19. Real Murica and who are BlM punks to Muricans ? Any AA they see just like anyone Hispanic

Is an illegal druggie and anyone of Muslim faith is a terrorist or sympathizer
Is he threatening the POTUS.??
What shit will these types stir up now? Because if he really cared he would be calling for calm

[doc03]

20. Has that fool Trump made any tweets? n/t

[Ace Rothstein]

21. Even Trump has the sense to sit this one out for now.

[Drunken Irishman]

23. You said it. For now.

It's coming, tho.

[awoke_in_2003]

100. Someone probably snatched his phone

before he had the opportunity to jackass it up.

[gwheezie]

29. Trumps team

Git him tied down in a cage in the basement at trump tower and took away his smart phone.

[Laffy Kat]

43. Oh just wait. Just wait 'til tomorrow. nt

[gwheezie]

53. He's gnawing on his restraints as we speak

And yelling ivanka bring me my iPhone you ungrateful princess

[annabanana]

58. apparently he's STILL in restraints..

This has to be killing him

[harun]

85. +1

[silvershadow]

22. Did he ever catch up his back child support? nt

[gopiscrap]

25. that fucker needs to be

in prison

[coco77]

62. Where all the black people reside..

[herding cats]

30. My worst fears embraced.

We can't let this mentality prevail. We just can't let them get their way!

[merrily]

31. DUers in red states, call your federal and state Repub. reps and demand they make this POS resign.nt

[rufus dog]

34. He was resigned/fired

He lost his seat.

[merrily]

36. Doesn't he have a RW radio show?

I guess a free speech issue might arise if elected officials demand he resign.

[rufus dog]

38. got it

likely, and I bet he gets on Faux News often too.

[merrily]

42. I guess it could raise a free speech issue, but I think Republicans in government owe it to America

to take a stand here. Trump, too.

I'm in Boston. Almost everyone in government in my city and state, including my state rep and Senator are Democrats. They will probably condemn this on their own, if they hear about it, but maybe I will will call or email them, anyway.

[LeftishBrit]

91. Good; glad to see that the voters didn't quite go for this level of extremism

[Chicago1980]

33. There's a reason he's "former" congressman.

Such a prick.

Has he paid his child support yet?

[white_wolf]

35. I'm writing up a story on this and it turns out he did.

I was slightly surprised to hear it. I'd always assumed the bastard would have found a way to weasel out of paying.

[Chicago1980]

44. He's still a weasel and bastard regardless.

[lastlib]

123. Hey! That's insulting to the entire Mustelidae family!

Weasels are noble beasts compared to that shitball.

[rusty quoin]

37. It is only a reflection on how hard to the right we have become.

He will get away with it. It's not as if there are any rules against potential threats. I think it has to be an actual threat.

Guys like Bill O'Reilly can say Dr tiller the baby killer for months on end without responsibility.

These dudes these days create chaos, but we cannot bring them to court for it.

[ReRe]

39. Sick SOB

Bring it on, coward. If a war starts out, you will be no where to be found.

[procon]

40. "Real America"? Is that code for White America?

Another racist idiot!

[Chakab]

47. Not much a code especially considering the comments that he made last week.

http://trofire.com/2016/06/27/white-guy-joe-walsh-says-electing-obama-racist-thing-u-s-ever/

[BlueMTexpat]

41. Disgusting POS SOB! eom

[calimary]

45. Seriously????????

O.M.G.

What have we come to?

[PoliticalMalcontent]

46. Fuck Joe Walsh.

That is all.

[AgadorSparticus]

120. This. ⬆ Just what you said.

[Night Watchman]

48. @WalshFreedom - Do I have Enough Vomit?

[Skittles]

49. THAT IS A DIRECT THREAT

SERIOUSLY

[uponit7771]

56. +1

[napkinz]

50. POS!

[LarryNM]

51. The war started long ago n/t

[Kablooie]

52. And we don't even know yet who the perpetrators are.

He automatically assumes they are black.
Just like everyone assumed the Oklahoma bombing was middle eastern.

Until the evidence is available it's foolish to assume anything.

[edbermac]

54. Just went to his Twitter page.

People are pasting that deleted tweet back and they're just tearing him a new asshole.

[jpak]

55. rahowa douchebags

yup

[live love laugh]

57. What a piece of shit. eom

[Danmel]

59. What an asshole

At first I thought of Joe Walsh of the Eagles. Not surprised by the other Joe Walsh. Secret service should nail this son of a bitch.

[IronLionZion]

60. Deadliest singe incident for law enforcement since 9/11/2001

and this asshole wants to threaten our president and his security officers, and nonviolent protestors who have been protesting against killings.

Dude wants more killing. He is inciting violence and 1st amendment doesn't protect this type of speech.

[heaven05]

63. these types

are itching for what this clown is calling for. Have been since a PoC became POTUS. They are extremely threatened by this fact that PoC demand to be treated as equals in their 'white paradise'. I hope the Secret Service takes a close look at this guy and steps up their surveilance of him and his kind. Racist Thug, nothing else.

[MerryBlooms]

64. He posts equally horrible messages on his FB page.

https://www.facebook.com/joewalsh/?fref=ts

[sheshe2]

105. Oh ugh!

I read some of that crap!

[greymattermom]

65. My Republican cousins

are blaming this on Obama on facebook. I worry about another long hot summer.

[klook]

68. Everything is the fault of the Kenyan Muslin (sic),

in their book. Right-wingers live in their own sick little privileged world.

[napkinz]

81. Twitter conservatives blame media, Obama, and #BlackLivesMatter for #DallasPoliceShooting

The urge to say "I told you so!" outweighs anything resembling legitimate grief

[Blue_Tires]

66. Former congressman Joe Walsh whores for attention and twitter obliges...

At this point in his so-called "career", it's all he has left...

He's been saying this stuff for awhile, but very few care because who in the fuck is Joe Walsh?

The only "war" he knows how to fight is the war against paying child support...

[allan01]

69. welcome to the meanest place on earth

[LeftishBrit]

70. How truly scary

[Peacetrain]

71. What a disgusting human being...

[eppur_se_muova]

72. He just wants to be tRump's Attorney General. nt

[workinclasszero]

73. What an evil bastard!

Its because of vile republicans like this POS that we can't have a decent society for all in America.

[rladdi]

74. But will the FBI or Justice Dept ever check this crazy guy out? I doubt it.

He is a politician and they can say anything. We hear that from Donald Trump ever day. While the normal American would be in jail and charges filed, Politicians are free to say what they want, no matter, They are above the laws of this land.

[Else You Are Mad]

78. Here are all the vile tweets from Walsh:

The secret service better give Walsh a visit.

[napkinz]

79. what a sick f*ck!

[KamaAina]

80. Has he paid his child support yet?

[lark]

82. Secret Service should definitely pay him a visit.

Truly, he should be locked up. What a stupid racist asshole he is.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

92. The Stupid is strong with this one (nt)

[zentrum]

93. This is not protected speech.

This is a threat.

Public threats against the life of the President are illegal. This out of control Congressman should be removed from office and arrested.

Are you allowed to keep your own guns if you speak this way? If not, his guns need to be confiscated.

This is outrageous. Isn't it also incitement to riot? That's also illegal speech.

Outrageous. How dare he. I'm glad we're flushing out some of these traitors to what is supposed to be the real America.

[spooky3]

129. He's no longer in Congress. He now hosts a radio show.

[zentrum]

135. Whew.

Story must have said that. I was too infuriated to track. Thanks.

[YOHABLO]

94. There's something very sophomoric about adults tweeting to one another. So highschool

[3catwoman3]

113. THANK YOU!!!

It does seem a ridiculously simplistic way to communicate. The limit of 140 characters does not allow for much sophisticated thought.

If you remove the last 3 letters, you have a perfect characterization of Walsh and his ilk - TWIT

[lpbk2713]

96. He's a certifiable lunatic.

Just let that genie out of the bottle and all hell will break loose.

[geretogo]

97. This piece of human waste is just a descendant of of the traitors that fired on Fort Sumter

and put a bullet through Abraham Lincoln's head . They are still with us .

[Bluzmann57]

107. I hope he doesn't come after me

I emailed him and called him a piece of crap. Exactly in those words. I also said that a cowardly guy like that should step down from his radio show at once and leave the country.

[left-of-center2012]

108. Yet he never served in the military?

All talk and no action.

[raven mad]

109. Just to kick it again -

I HATE that he shares a name with one of my favorite musicians; he'd hate the musician as much as he hates Obama.

[lastlib]

124. and the musician despises him!

[Mendocino]

111. Real tough guy

shows how tough he is by stiffing his kids on child support.

[napkinz]

112. Joe Walsh on CNN right now being interviewed by Don Lemon

[3catwoman3]

114. One of the county Republican offices used to be...

...right next door to my hair stylist's shop. During his brief time in office, there were Walsh signs in the windows.

The strangest thing would happen whenever I would leave the salon. I'd find a hair, real or imaginary, in my mouth, and get an irresistible urge to spit it out on the sidewalk, right in front of the Republican't office.

[kacekwl]

115. This chump has a radio show when only loons are awake to hear.

Let the authorities pay him a visit and let's never see his name here again.

[LeftishBrit]

117. What now also strikes me: is he actually saying that his country's president is not 'real America'?

However much I don't like most of my country's leaders, they do represent my country - and the same in any democracy. Or is this intended to suggest the conspiracy theory that President Obama is really from Kenya and doesn't have a valid birth certificate?

[George II]

119. Let's not let this disappear!

[lastlib]

122. It's still up on that shitball's Facebook page.

Said shitball should proceed with self-fornication, post-haste.

I hope the Secret Service drops the BIG hammer on it. I'd like to see the splatter.

[Jim Beard]

125. Does anyone have the video of him on Don Lemons program on CNN?

He was saying the same and more. I don't know why they put him on the program.

[LyndaG]

126. Walsh is garbage

Hope he faces a huge backlash for his irresponsible statement.

[arely staircase]

128. I hated the fucking Eagles

But Joe Walsh rocked. What little good material the Eagles had was his.

[spooky3]

130. This is a different Joe Walsh.

[arely staircase]

133. I stand by my statement. nt

[kacekwl]

132. Can this post be removed.

Tired of seeing this dick everyday. Unless the is a new post reporting he has been arrested for threatening the POTUS.

[FighttheFuture]

134. It's important this post is put to the front page. People have to see just how much shit is in our

society (he's a former congressman!) and they have to stand against it.
