Robert Stacy McCain, already well known as both a racist and a misogynist, reveals his obvious fascist tendencies by advocating that the NYPD open fire on Occupy protesters at Zucotti park. There doesn’t seem to be any police actions bloodthirsty enough for him:
That’s the way to do it, NYPD! Give ‘em a sweet taste of the nightstick!
But doesn’t NYPD have tasers? Jack ‘em up with some high voltage!
Billy clubs, tasers, pepper spray, whatever it takes to keep Marxist scum off the streets of New York, do it. These whiny deadbeats are a menace to public safety — scabies! tuberculosis! rape! — and if they refuse to disperse peacefully, they have thereby declared war on the law-abiding citizens of New York, whom the NYPD are sworn to protect and serve.
There are reports that a handful of Occupy protesters were hospitalized with injuries. Unfortunately, it was only a handful, and none of those injuries were wounds from 9mm pistols or 12-gauge riot guns.
Ironically, Josef Stalin would be proud.

Stalin would be proud without much irony I think. And Pol Pot, a name not used enough (in my opinion) in reference to mass murder for political gain.

These cockroaches have always been among us, mostly hidden in the dark unless someone just happens to catch sight of one when she flicks on the light switch.
But generally, the Right Wing has been having a lot of trouble keeping its obsessive hatred hidden. More and more the hordes of cockroaches have been coming out in broad daylight, and even major players have been more and more open about pandering to the utter lack of decency exhibited by American Right Wing extremism.
Is it better that it is out in the open and so flagrant? Maybe. On the other hand, the fact that these people no longer see the need to sugar-coat their evil in rhetoric resembling the values of enlightened liberal democracy and are no longer punished for it seems to say something unfortunate about where our society is heading.
Or maybe it is a good sign — maybe our society might be turning toward the light and this openness is more a sign of “nothing to lose” desperation?

Robert Stacy McCain — there’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time. Our friendly neighborhood League-of-the-South neo-secessionist neo-Confederate. Given his professed beliefs, why does he think it’s any of his business how the people of the state of New York conduct theirs?

I suspect Robert Stacey McCain would be more effusive in his praises for the police if there were an actual body count.

Funny how the ones who claim to worship the constitution either don’t know or don’t care what it actually says when it comes to people with whom they disagree.

I’m so happy the founding fathers had the foresight to know that we needed the right to “disperse peacefully” protected.

Presumably RS McCain would draw the line at the NYPD opening fire on RS McCain.

Hmm, this guy would seem to be the kind of fool who’d play the classic CSNY tune “Ohio” thinking it supported killing protesters.

Authoritarians never seem to think they’ll wind up on the pointy end of the stick, while they go about creating a world full of pointy sticks for their overlords. They just don’t understand that once such a world is created, they’re just as likely to wind up on the pointy stick as anyone else. It’s like some weird collision between optimism and nihilism.

“Give ‘em a sweet taste of the nightstick!” So much to say, so few words.

Chiroptera, reading the comments on RS McCain’s site I’d say they are very proud of wanting to crack skulls and kick ass. Personally, I don’t see it as a good sign. It has become fashionable to talk of violence and murder of those you don’t like. Like the nonsense talk of Second Amendment solutions to the “fascism” of the Obama Administration. Or when you stalk a teenager because he’s black and wearing a hoodie, you get to kill him because he’s kicking your ass. Even if you deserve it.

I can only wonder why RS McCain didn’t go to New York City and kill the protesters himself. We all know that a man who talks that tough couldn’t be a coward.

Let me guess, he considers escalation of force to be foreplay.

This:
“2003, McCain was named editor of the “Culture, Etc.” page of The Washington Times, which appears on Page A2 of the newspaper Monday through Friday. Over the years, McCain interviewed many prominent authors and personalities, including John Stossel,[2] David Horowitz,[3] Peter Jennings [4] Wendy Shalit,[5] Ronald Radosh,[6] R. Emmett Tyrrell,[7] Tammy Bruce,[8] Andrew Breitbart,[9] William J. Bennett,[10] Phyllis Chesler,[11] Ward Connerly,[12] Michael Savage,[13] Dinesh D’Souza,[14] L. Brent Bozell III,[15] David Frum [16] Ann Coulter[17] Michelle Malkin[18] and Cal Thomas.[19] When former President Ronald Reagan died in June 2004, McCain authored the memorial article that appeared as a special feature in The Washington Times.[20]”
is from wiki. “prominent authors? With the exception of a few of them, nothing but reptilihacks.

You know what the worst thing in the minds of the Right Wing has to be about the Occupy protestors? They aren’t getting paid for the time they’re spending occupying! That has got to be unfathomable to the Rightists, and therefore frightening.

“…are a menace to public safety….”
The protestors are confined to one location (Zucotti park). That’s pretty much the exact opposite of being “a menace to public safety.” If the Occupy Wall Street folks are as disease-ridden and criminally dangerous as McCain is making them out to be, then he should logically welcome this confinement as a sort of unintentional (again, on the part of the OWS’ers) “quarantine.”

12 gauge are for sissies! Let’s roll tanks over them! Let the Zucotti Park eclipse the memory of Tiananmen Square. Let’s show those communist how much more free and democratic US is!
Now excuse me, I have to go and puke.
