“Consider making the Republican Party illegal.”

DUmmie Funnies tracks one academic’s 10-point vision for a post-Bush…and post-Republican…and post-Constitutional…future. Warning: Extreme moonbattery ahead.
More: Hm. Where do these leftwingers get their ideas…? (h/t seejanemom, who says she’ll post about this later)

Wow, that guy actually works in a university and he’s dumb enough to think that you can round up and imprison all of America’s Republicans.
Doesn’t he know that the Republicans own all the guns?
MoxArgon on March 16, 2007 at 10:12 AM
Well, what do you expect him to write? Scholarly articles like “The Gendered Rhetoric of Intellectual Property, from William Wordsworth to Vanna White?”
Wait…he did actually write that.
And presented it at a conference.
I have just got to get my Ph.D.!
Slublog on March 16, 2007 at 10:14 AM
LoL, MoxArgon you hit on a good point.
For all the paranoid fantasies of the Left, they don’t seem to realize that if an armed struggle/uprising does go down, the Republicans have all the guns and soldiers.
Lehosh on March 16, 2007 at 10:17 AM
And all the good looking women.
a4g on March 16, 2007 at 10:20 AM
Why do Democrats reliably insist on speaking and behaving in exactly the way they accuse Republicans of doing?
The cognitive dissonance required to simultaneously write that fascist stupidity just plain boggles the mind. And there is enormous irony in the fact that, in this case, fascism is actually the appropriate and accurate label.
How do liberals really not notice this?
Professor Blather on March 16, 2007 at 10:22 AM
I surfed over to the “Dummie Funnies” link to check out the ten-point plan. Before I read it, I thought, “Surely this is just satire that Bryan has mis-understood.” Kind of like Jonathan Swift’s “modest proposal” to fix the Irish famine by cannibalism.
Nope …. the 10-point plan is not written as satire. This guy is serious.
I’m glad I stopped school after earning my Master’s — articles like this suggest that a special kind of idiocy takes root in the mind during the PhD process.
Anton on March 16, 2007 at 10:25 AM
#10 is total historical revisionism and reversism … is that a real word?
Hey, I have an idea, instead of making illegal the one party that has the balls to fight the religious fundie wackos who wanna kill us all, why don’t we instead make it illegal to oppose the war against those who religious fundie wackos wanna kill us all? What’s that Mr. Professor? You don’t like that idea? Why not? Perhaps because you’re being funded by Saudi Wahabi oil money? Being told what to say by your islamic overlords, dhimmiboy?
Tony737 on March 16, 2007 at 10:25 AM
Oh, we’re talking academia here, so you can make up words.
They do it all the time.
Slublog on March 16, 2007 at 10:28 AM
“Bush has blown up the world.”
That’s exactly the kind of no-nonsense news that the MSM is too afraid to cover! Bush has blown up the world. That’s why I get all my news straight and unfiltered from DU.
As far as impeachment of Bushitler and his cronies, exactly how many people do you plan on impeaching and removing from office? Do you stop after Cheney and let Nancy “You’re Not My Constituents” Pelosi run the show?
saint kansas on March 16, 2007 at 10:28 AM
And in other news … The bulldozer inflicted death of “peace activist” Rachel Corrie will NOT be commemorated with a pancake breakfast party this year.
Tony737 on March 16, 2007 at 10:33 AM
Constitutional ignorance, check.
Resistance mantra (even though Dems control Congress), check.
Ignorant fascism in the name of Justice!, check.
Armed revolution…wait, you don’t have any guns do you? That might be a problem for you guys.
SouthernDem on March 16, 2007 at 10:34 AM
CMU works for the government and gets lots of funding from the government in the area of robotics and computer sciences. CMU still helps run US-CERT, the cyber division arm of the Department of Homeland Security. These guys get millions of our dollars and do almost nothing in return because private corporations and contractors have outpaced any cutting edge science and research that can be derived from CMU.
It is time we cut off funding for these propellor-heads. Let them sit around in a drum circle on their own dime, not ours.
BelchSpeak on March 16, 2007 at 10:34 AM
And another thing, speaking of projection and cognitive dissonance… ever notice how the freedom-loving moonbats’ solution is always “make ____ illegal,” “ban _____,” ad nauseam?
Just who are the cops in this future Bizarro world who are going to enforce all these new laws?
saint kansas on March 16, 2007 at 10:35 AM
I find it interesting that this “professor” considers using tactics that the Soviets and Nazis used to quell opposition. Yet the Left call Republicans Nazis incessantly!
What’s wrong with this picture??
Here comes the sarcasm….
Oh wait, Uncle Joe was a friend. I forgot. And the Holocaust never happened, right?
Sorry, couldn’t help it! These people make me crazy!
JohnnyD on March 16, 2007 at 10:35 AM
Heh, I like DUmmieFUnnies. It doesn’t get as much attention as it should.
It is a very good catch on his part, and as he says his intro, this is commonplace discussion for these nutbars, though its a bit more surprising coming from a professor, you’d think they’d have the ability to show some discretion…then I remember Ward Churchill.
Bad Candy on March 16, 2007 at 10:36 AM
C’mon now. That is just tasteless and uncalled for.
P.S. Who else missed that Bush blew up the world?
saint kansas on March 16, 2007 at 10:39 AM
This guy’s a joke…but unfortunately not all that unusual for the left.
Conservatives really have to grow a pair, stop talking about standing up to moonbats like this, and actually start doing something to defeat the left in this country.
Chad on March 16, 2007 at 10:39 AM
A good start is to take back the academy. We can’t just let moonbats control higher ed in this country.
Slublog on March 16, 2007 at 10:42 AM
Must of slept at a Holiday Inn Express last night.
E L Frederick (Sniper One) on March 16, 2007 at 10:47 AM
See you at The Gathering Sniper!
I’ll be the one in the orange jumpsuit.
I’ll save you a seat next to me and LIMERICK in the paddy wagon.
seejanemom on March 16, 2007 at 10:49 AM
Moonbat caves do make the most divine echo chambers, don’t you find?
seejanemom on March 16, 2007 at 10:50 AM
Bush blew up the world? Then why the frak did I wake up at 6am to make an 8am class when I coulda stayed in bed and let teh world explode around me?!
Btw I know you all are going to jail, what happens to someone like me that left the left to join the evil ‘now in jail’ republicans? I guess there’s a special place at Gitmo for me now that the innocent muslims will be released
Defector01 on March 16, 2007 at 10:51 AM
Let’s start by defunding the public universities. COurse, the state they’re in, they’d throw out the engineering departments before Womyn’s Studies.
naliaka on March 16, 2007 at 10:52 AM
I am in academia, and I can tell you that this is what most of the left wing there really reals, although few will admit it outside their circle of friends.
ptolemy on March 16, 2007 at 10:52 AM
IT. GET’S. FUNNIER. EVERY. FRIGGIN’. DAY!!
james hooker on March 16, 2007 at 10:54 AM
Once again the academaniacs prove that oft times PHD stands for Piled Higher and Deeper.
Hmmmm…”Doctor” What’s his name? wants to jail people without proof, hold them without charges, allow them no legal representation? Gee, he must be on the Board of Governors for Guantanamo!
Catseye on March 16, 2007 at 10:55 AM
Right. Because we need to be further behind the world.
I work for a state university, and we could use conservatives – the impact a conservative professor could have would be enormous.
Slublog on March 16, 2007 at 10:56 AM
HEY! it didn’t add my close sarc tag!
Catseye on March 16, 2007 at 10:56 AM
Amended to add:
Yup.
Slublog on March 16, 2007 at 10:57 AM
Ah, the people I work with every day. I’d speak out against idiots like this, but it may cost me my job (I don’t have tenure yet).
Nethicus on March 16, 2007 at 10:59 AM
Guess “Einstein” doesn’t realize that a large majority of the military and police are Republicans. Who’s going to round the people up? Code Pink? Kos? Maybe Rosie will put together a crack team for the job.
SPIFF1669 on March 16, 2007 at 11:02 AM
Would be amusing to see Code Pink and Kos as the ’rounder-up-ers’ and we could use the same tactics they use against us :-p
Defector01 on March 16, 2007 at 11:04 AM
Aren’t democrats pacifists anyways. Doesn’t that mean, they should roll over and let republicans win elections? I learned this from the gandhi posts yesterday.
lorien1973 on March 16, 2007 at 11:05 AM
Mox: “Republicans own all the guns”
Yes, but we’d hafta turn them in. hehe … hehehe … hahahahaha … HAAAAA HAHAHAHAHA! (pause to think about it) BWAH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAaaaaa!!!! (weeeeze) MUAHHHHH HAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!
Civil War Part 2: Code Pink, ANSWR, Move On, etc armed with Xeroxed copies of this professor’s 10 point plan vs. the military, the cops, and average gun owning civilians armed with … THE CONSTITUTION!
Stupid libs, they always wanna bring a knife … or just a dumb idea … to a gun fight.
Tony737 on March 16, 2007 at 11:17 AM
Just not a sharp knife.
Slublog on March 16, 2007 at 11:21 AM
Has anyone else noticed this on the “Call to Action” page” of his site?
I’ve got to wonder what he means by “they will send them to Congress.” Is the Oakland Tribune actually participating in this, rather than simply reporting it?
Gregor on March 16, 2007 at 11:26 AM
Robots and crazed leftists.
Has anybody heard of this book?
He was profiled on the Glenn and Helen show.
Bill C on March 16, 2007 at 11:37 AM
I say it almost daily…This is the democratic party. For all of you trolls out there, this is who speaks for you. This is why we don’t take you serious. By you not denouncing this speach, you are condoning it…you are them, they are you.
This is the democratic voice.
right2bright on March 16, 2007 at 11:38 AM
They take a threat to thier liberites seriously? What a crock of cr@p. Aren’t they the ones always wanting to infringe upon my right to keep and bear arms? Personally I’m not worried, the medical world still hasn’t figured out a way to transplant a spine.
SPIFF1669 on March 16, 2007 at 11:39 AM
Um, hey, Professor Brainiac, et al… Have you actually read 1984? Or did you buy a pre-tattered copy from the head shop?
I can’t even begin the recount the times I’ve counted on Google Cache to retrieve lefty rants from Orwell’s “memory hole.” (Hey, guys, I found Amanda Marcotte down here!)
Clearly the message of 1984 was that more strongarm government control (e.g., banning a political party) was the answer.
saint kansas on March 16, 2007 at 11:42 AM
“… Maybe Rosie will put together a crack team for the job.”
SPIFF1669 on March 16, 2007 at 11:02 AM
Probably not Rosie, SPIFF, for fear of the headlines:

Yeah, I caught that bit of irony too. The same man who wants to arrest all Republicans and make the Republican Party illegal, and unilaterally remove all judges appointed by the President of the United States says …
Dufus
I’ve got three calls in to the Oakland Tribune awaiting a response. No call back as yet.
Gregor on March 16, 2007 at 11:49 AM
Gregor – The Oakland Tribune seems to be participating/instigating, based on this editorial.
Slublog on March 16, 2007 at 11:52 AM
The joys of One-Party states.
Like Zimbabwe and Venezuela. Paradise on earth, if you don’t need such triflings as food to eat.
naliaka on March 16, 2007 at 12:17 PM
Thanks Slublog. I’d at least think they would make an attempt to hide it. I guess being anti-Bush is so in fashion now, there’s no need.

Bryan,
I don’t know if everyone saw your link to the “Communist Goals”, but it sure reads like the current Democrat Agenda…….
PinkyBigglesworth on March 16, 2007 at 12:24 PM
Don’t forget Cuba and China. Both are workers’ paradise, as long as you don’t mind spending 10 years in prison for blogging.
Bryan on March 16, 2007 at 12:25 PM
I loved the Tribune’s,
They even had the guts to place it following:
Sounds like orange wigs and bulbous red noses are required attire at the Oakland Tribune.
Dusty on March 16, 2007 at 12:25 PM
A finer example of declining American standards in reading comprehension simply cannot be found.
Blacklake on March 16, 2007 at 12:26 PM
This is unbelievable. I just received a call back from Josh Richman of the Oakland Tribune – Politics & Criminal Justice.
Mr. Richman completely admitted that the newspaper editorial board organized, publicized, and activity participated in this protest of the sitting President of the United States.
He did inform me that this protest is already completed and started over a year ago, but the most interesting information he gave me was that there were employees of the newspaper actually sitting in an office, stuffing these books into envelopes, addressing them to members of Congress, and then mailing them. This is absurd!
I asked Mr. Richman if the Oakland Tribune had given up it’s newspaper status and now become a political action committee.
For all of you who have blogs, I am really hoping to see this story put out there nationally. There’s no way this story should be kept secret, even if it’s already completed.
I’ve was told that I would also be getting a call from the Editor soon, as they seem to be concerned with where this might lead.
Gregor on March 16, 2007 at 12:50 PM
Bryan and Naliaka, Don’t forget the great state of Maryland. Ooh baby, one party rule rocks! NOT!
WeThe voters of MD voted out a Rebuplican governor with 63% approval for a democrat! I live in a village of idiots (except for MM and you BP)! I’d get out if I didn’t have family obligations.JohnnyD on March 16, 2007 at 12:52 PM
I’ve said this a thousand times since the disvowing of Ann Coulter.
I hope all you lead by example types can see what is happening here. The further the left goes, the more the center shifts left and the more conservatism appears to be extremism.
It’s time to unleash Ann to counter the lefts desire to link normal thinking adults to the extreme belief of conservatism. The wars is on ya’ll! Give up and they will still be at war with us.
csdeven on March 16, 2007 at 1:02 PM
And their radicals (which are now the manipulators of the party) are totally against globalization – what happened btw. 1963 and now?
Entelechy on March 16, 2007 at 1:10 PM
NO! He got it exactly WRONG! Their goal is not to enact these policies but to expand the scope of what left wing is and by default redefine what the right is. That extreme left position makes regular loons look sane and moderate, and it makes moderate dems look right wing.
Where does that leave conservatism? Leading by example conservatism. That example being redefined by the left as extremism.
Hmmmmm?
We sit around here complaining about how stupid these liberals are and that makes us feel superior, but the fact remaines the idea is out there and that shifts perspective. We win the moral battle but lose the perception war. Independents, or in an other word, those without a strong committement to some core values, vote perception. They’ll swing from right to left based on what appears to be moderate values.
Just like Rush did in the 80′s, we need Ann et al to extend the scope of the right further than the “lead by example” semi-pseudo conservatives want it to be.
csdeven on March 16, 2007 at 1:16 PM
That’s why I’ve taken to calling them ‘echolocation chambers’
The Monster on March 16, 2007 at 1:16 PM
Man, I hate it when he does that–that’s where I keep all my stuff.
Is it just me, or does “Rechtenwald” sound way too much like a camp where the ideologically impure would get sent to if fascist moonbats like this guy ever got the chance?
ReubenJCogburn on March 16, 2007 at 1:25 PM
How are they going to round up all the Republicans when we can’t even seal the border and deport millions of illegals? Good luck with that.
I think it’s time for Middle America to cut off the food supply to these loons. Have fun spouting your garbage when you’re starving to death, idiots!
jaleach on March 16, 2007 at 1:38 PM
Hmmm…maybe they could come up with some sort of patch for Republicans to wear on their clothing to make it easier to track them.
‘Cause those Republicans are Nazis, man.
P.S. Great work Gregor.
saint kansas on March 16, 2007 at 2:08 PM

I realize I’m late on this thread and y’all have had fun with your snarky comments, but… Please consider what just happened to “Scooter” Libby. In that light, it’s clear Rectenwald and his ilk are making headway. So, laugh all you want, but make sure you heed the alarm bells.
Aunt B on March 17, 2007 at 11:23 AM
Point well taken Aunt B.
It astounds me that he can write things like this and not get called on it.
Obviously they are for shutting down the opinion and feeling of a good number of people in America.
Our forefathers must be turning in their collective graves, for someone to waste their precious gift in this way.
