Discussion: In 'Lock Her Up' Chant Republican Leaders Find Easier Path To Unity

Banana Republicanism may taste sweet now but will it stay fresh through November? Jailing your political opponents is an acquired taste, kinda like caviar or Limburg cheese.

The irony is that Ronald Reagan should have been locked up, and George W. Bush should have been locked up. But, as in the area of sexual indiscretions, its always OK if you’re Republican.

The critical thing to note here is that the facts supporting locking Hillary up are not based in reality…they are whipped up BS based in a hatred of Hillary (and Obama, and anyone not conservative enough in general). Based on these “facts”, people are willing to skip the inalienable rights that Hillary has and throw her in jail, or execute her.

Everyone in this nation needs to realize that is the meme the Republicans are presenting as their plan…it should be front and center that the “law and order” party is willing to ignore the law when it suits them.

Republicans have always applied “the ends justify the means” theory in their battles against democrats. By using this approach you can say anything to whip up the crowd ie… he was born in Kenya, isn’t a christian, “in Real America”, left them to die, everything from A to Z with a smile on your face. “Lock Her Up” won’t persuade enough voters to overlook how much Trump has in common with Sarah (I can see Russia from my house) Palin.

TPM:

“I have concerns that she didn’t tell the truth repeatedly. She didn’t tell the truth on Benghazi. I saw it first hand. … I don’t think she told the truth about her emails nor was she judicious about them and so look she’s gonna have to answer to the American people. There’s an election,” said Rep. Greg Walden (R-OR), the chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee.

We don’t have mob justice, Rep. Walden. You’re a member of the House of Representatives - if you want to lock up Sec. Clinton, then you can hold hearings and refer her to the FBI for perjury or any other wrong-doing you think you’ve found.

Oh, you’ve done that? And what was the outcome?

No charges.

Go fuck yourself, you and your whole lynch mob of a party, Rep. Walden.

Ignorance, stupidity, fear and hate ALWAYS unify the Republicans in their toxic, theocratic, fascist bizarroworld. Marriage equality was a great example. No surprise here!

Yep…because ‘unity’ in the Republican party means taking away the Constitutional rights of others while bemoaning the ‘certainty’ that Hillary is going to take away YOURS…with absolutely no evidence to any of this. What a fine group of citizens!

And any lawyers who are supporting this scheme and thumbing their noses at the Constitution and their professional ethical obligations towards the law should be disbarred.

Stone wants to go down the rape road? Look at fort doc from ex wife and current court case of a person, who was 13 yrs old at the time, claiming Trump raped her.

And remember the director of the FBI is a hold over republican appointee. He had no evidence to recommend prosecution but certainly was willing to put his personal oppinion on the record to stir the pot and add fuel to the republican fire.

Gov. Rick Scott (R-FL) thought about answering the question of
whether the “lock her up” chant was appropriate when his spokesman
quickly rushed him away.

“So,” Scott began, before an aide rushed to his side.

“Hi, we’re walking somewhere what’s your name … yeah we’re heading somewhere. Sorry,” his aide said.

Bravely bold Sir Rick…

I continue to ask this question: How is Roger Stone still alive?

Over all these years, this assclown should have pissed off that one extra person who wasn’t exactly stable. He should have run up against some mobbed up character who didn’t give a damn. Yet, there he is. No one human has that kind of luck.

If Hillary Clinton is elected President what will all these Rightwingers do with that “Lock her up” mindset? I think the disrespect they showed Obama will be magnified by 1000%. There will be multiple impeachment attempts, hearings, investigations…all while the country crumbles. The Left/Right fracture in this country will become seismic. It won’t be pretty.

This RNC has been nothing more than a badly disorganized version of a Nuremberg Rally, populated by an equally radicalized crowd of haters.

And we need to remain aware of all those Gunzers who claim their 2nd Amendment rights are necessary to enable them to overthrow a constitutionally elected government they just don’t happen to agree with.

“I think it just creates a sense of camaraderie that people are on the same page. I don’t think anybody really expects that to happen,” Ben Carson told TPM.

Run that quote as an ad. Print ad, bus ad, television or radio ad.

Damn the idea that he said it. Put the onus on the idea that he believes it more as a lie to gather up the addled masses.

“I think she should stand trial for her many, many crimes, yes,” Stone said. “There are six billion dollars missing from the time she was secretary of state. How about that for an opener? Because she has bullied and intimidated and threatened the women who are her husband’s sexual assault victims. … How do you feel about rape, you know?”

proof please…

and did anyone find out what happened to the money that disappeared on Rummy’s watch?

“Bill and Hillary Clinton are habitual, career criminals,” Stone said.

said the man who worked for Nixon…
