Talk Show Host Calls For Murder Of Activist (VIDEO IN POST)
Michael Reagan, radio talk show host and son of late president Ronald Reagan, could be investigated by the FBI after he called for the execution of Mark Dice, anti-war activist and founder of media watchdog group The Resistance, on the air.
On the June 10th edition of his nationally syndicated Radio America show, Reagan called Dice and others in the “9/11 Truth” movement “traitors” after learning that they were sending letters, declassified documents and DVDs to troops in Iraq that they say point to government involvement in the attacks on the World Trade Center in 2001.
The effort is part of The Resistance’s “Operation Inform the Soldiers.”
“I don’t want the soldiers who are risking their lives in Iraq to be used as pawns in the creation of the New World Order,” Dice said in a recent press release. “I personally know U.S. Marines who believe 9/11 was an inside job, and they tell me that many Marines suspect that this is the case but are afraid to speak up out of fear of punishment.”
“We ought to find the people who are doing this,” Reagan said, “take ‘em out, and shoot ‘em. Really. Just find the people who are sending those letters…to demoralize our troops…they are traitors to this country…and shoot them. You have a problem with that? Deal with it. But anybody who would do that doesn’t deserve to live. You call them traitors–that’s what they are–and you shoot ‘em dead. I’ll pay for the bullet.”
“How about you take Mark Dice out,” Reagan continued, “and put him in the middle of the firing range? Tie him to a post, don’t blindfold him, and let it rip and have some fun with Mark Dice.”
“Now we know where the Ron Paul supporters went,” quipped a co-host.
On Sunday, Dice announced on his website that he received a personal apology from Reagan and will appear on Reagan’s show to receive an on-air apology Monday, June 16th, at 3:30pm Pacific.
“While I understand different political opinions can result in heated arguments, Reagan’s statements are completely unacceptable, un-American, and extremely dangerous,” Dice said. “Reagan has elevated the hate and rhetoric aimed at those who disagree with this war to new and unprecedented level. He must be fired immediately and no other radio or TV network should let his voice be heard, or his face be seen.
“Despite Reagan’s apology,” Dice continued, “the Pandora’s box that he opened can never be closed. The ramifications of his threats and suggestions are enormous and frightening. In an age where a few clicks of a keyboard can result in anyone’s home address being found, Reagan’s comments open the door for stalking, vandalism, and worse. Any threats made will be forwarded immediately to the FBI and the appropriate legal action will be taken.”
Below is a clip from Reagan’s June 10th broadcast, as posted to YouTube.
First; Mr Mark Dice is not the first person to accuse The Bush Administration of at the very least taking advantage of 9/11 to destroy our civil liberties. The allowing of Osama Bin Ladin to escape our trap at Tora Bora is an event that leads to suspicions of the Bush Administration.If our soldiers had been allowed to use just American Troops instead of relying on local Afghans allegedly loyal to us ; Osama Bin Ladin would have been captured or killed. Their field commanders received their orders from a chain of command that led to The Bush Administration. An administration that has politicized this war. I do not believe that they want to capture or destroy Al Qaeda and Osama Bin Ladin. As long as they can keep these Bogeymen at large and exaggerate their organization's ability to replicate another 9/11 ; they will keep the American people fearful and vested to a Strongman that will do anything to keep them safe. This is why McCain has been successful in using his war record,his bad temper, macho, strong man image to obtain a large following. His natural base is veterans and enlisted men who have brought the idea that we are at war. The rest are your usual Republican Fanatics that vote Republican regardless of the candidate for President. Of course; his neocon partners and the weapon's manufacturers that always make billions during a protracted conflict.Finally; the fearful Americans.I believe that bush took advantage of their fear. I recommend that they read:WISER IN BATTLE-A Soldier's Story by LT.GEN.RICARDO S. SANCHEZ and WHAT HAPPENED-Inside the Bush White House and Washington's Culture of Deception by SCOTT MCCLELLAN and RECLAIMING CONSERVATISM-HOW A GREAT AMERICAN POLITICAL MOVEMENT GOT LOST-AND HOW IT CAN FIND ITS WAY BACK BY MICKEY EDWARDS.He is a leading figure in the American conservative movement for more than forty years. Mickey Edwards was a prominent member of the Republican leadership in Congress and is a former national chairman of the American Conservative Union and a founding trustee of the Heritage Foundation. Mr Edwards states that The Conservative Movement was based on American Conservatism that drew its inspiration directly from The U.S.A. Constitution particularly an overriding belief in individual liberty and limited government.He argues that Conservatism has been taken over by people whose beliefs and policies threaten the Constitutional system of Government.Mr Edwards contends that by creating an imperial Presidency they have gutted the system of checks and balances ,abandoned due process and trampled our civil liberties. Todays neoconservatives endorse unprecedented assertions of government power -from the creation of secret prisons to illegal wiretapping. The Conservative Movement that once fought to protect citizens from government intrusion ; now recognize few limits on what the government can do. The Movement that was once The Constitution's and Freedom's strongest defender has become our most dangerous enemy.
