Anti-Palin Rally Organizers Threatened And Called “Socialist Baby-Killing Maggots”
When a group called “Alaska Women Reject Palin” announced a weekend rally, they received threats after conservative talk show host Eddie Burke gave their phone numbers out on the air. Burke also referred to them as “a bunch of socialist maggots,” adding, “That’s what I’m going to call them–socialist maggots, that’s what they are, a bunch of socialist baby-killing maggots.”
Burke says their numbers were in a press release, and so it was fair game, before pulling back the next day and admitting he was “over the top”. Anchorage Police Lt. Paul Honeman says that even though Burke didn’t tell his listeners to make threats, giving the numbers out instigated harassment. For his efforts, Burke received a week suspension without pay for “breaking station policy.”

Seeing this video reminds me why the profession of “talk show host” gets a bad name.
This is where the radical right really shows what thugs they are.
But for comic relief I turned on CNN and watched Nancy Pfotenhauer saying how McCain’s going to fight the “entrenched interests” controlling DC. The only problem of course is that Pfotenhauer is herself one of the people that she’s claiming McCain is going to fight.

Don’t you have anything better to than mis-characterisng this guy?

Eddie Burke is a piece of trash, always has always will, high school drop out who used to rip people off at his gas station, though the anti-Palin rally was great, so I’m told, I guess 1000+ people showed up, which is alot for Alaska, the reupbs up here are trying their hardest to stop the investigation, what happened to “clear and transparent” Sarah? the plot thickens!

well democrats/liberals tend to obviously think and act and want socialism, its not mockery to say this, its what they do;
To be a democrat there is one requirement, that you defend abortion which is the Satanic ritual murder of newly born or unborn children.
Normal people are offended at infanticide, but liberals and democrats consider it an honor to carry out
Calling them maggots? what was that all about?
September 16th, 2008 at 7:58 pm
Well; the way they [did in] Joe Lieberman for going aginst THE party, they are more like communists.
GET YOUR MIND RIGHT JOE ! Oop to late, they got ya !
September 16th, 2008 at 8:06 pm
Yes Joe Liberman is like the classical democrat.
but in todays world he is a far right wing independent war hawk. It shows how far to the moveon.org extremist wacko left the democrats have gone, honey
September 16th, 2008 at 8:18 pm
SO nice to know that so many women of Alaska were not intimidated by this outlandish talk-show hate mongerer & the “real Americans” who made those vicious threats against them. Behind it all, this guy is a little man with a sick mind and I am disappointed that the station he works for tolerates this outrageous behavior.
Does this station have such reckless regard for their audience? Yeah, he has freedom of speech…but what he says & does is a reflection of their organization. How can any responsible media retain someone like this & simultaneously think they are showing respect for their audience! We do deserve better than this!
Thanks Alan Colmes for being the professional that YOU ARE!
September 16th, 2008 at 8:30 pm
SURE, and NBC,ABC,CBS, and MSNBC, can float the bias they do and all is WONDERFUL. [poor Mary]. Responsible media ? WHERE ?
September 16th, 2008 at 9:34 pm
“Thanks Alan Colmes for being the professional that YOU ARE!”
Yeah, professional liar

Bradley:
Ok, let me make sure I understand this. You’re saying you think it’s appropriate to call somebody who makes a choice to not vote for McCain/Palin a “socialist baby killing maggot”? The last time I checked, casting a vote for the ticket of your choice was allowed. Where does it say that we all have to vote for who Bradley thinks we should vote for? Do you consider this Christ-like behavior? Do you think Jesus would agree it’s fine to act like this?
So, “all liberals and Democrats consider it a honor to carry out” abortion? That’s a pretty harsh, judgmental comment. I don’t know one liberal, Democrat who considers abortion an un-important topic – and I certainly know none that consider it an honor.
Bradley, I would also like to mention that at one point you were able to express your views and opinions in a respectful manner – many times I didn’t agree with them, but I admired your ability to respect other people. What happened? Did all of the other hateful conservatives on this site rub off on you? I’ll pray for you.

Danielle, “Bradley:

”
No Im not saying that and wouldnt say such a thing. I said the use of namecalling with “maggot” was highly suspect, its offensive to use such a reference so is the target of the insult complaining of the use? If so then I want to look at both sides of the argument and make a fair judgement.
Democrats simply have socialist beliefs, its not name calling to say that, its the difference in belief, its fact.
And Democrats first and foremost require members as the top priority to support and endorse abortion.
We have already covered the semi mystery of how the democrats and liberal left make claim to telling lies as first amendment right to free speech, even if under oath swearing to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help you God, its still the 1st amend. right to speak freely and that includes lying. Im not being sarcastic, this is literal.
This is another reason the left wants “under God” taken out of anything because it causes this annoying guilt which is possibly bad for one’s health therefore…
Danielle, “So, “all liberals and Democrats consider it a honor to carry out” abortion? That’s a pretty harsh, judgmental comment. I don’t know one liberal, Democrat who considers abortion an un-important topic – and I certainly know none that consider it an honor.”
I dont recall saying ALL liberals/dems because there are some who dont, I try not to use absolutes, if I did please show me and I will retract the words and apologize
its something democrats/libs fight for, abortion that is. they tend to use phrases like freedom of reproduction? womans health? no say what it is, abortion
September 17th, 2008 at 12:30 am
Watching this Alaska radio moron makes me realize why I’m supporting Obama after 4 times voting Republican.” Sure you have.
You libs are a bunch of sanctimonious hypocrites. You think it’s great when a bunch of left wing nutcakes have a protest and call the President everything except President and oh yeah, threaten anyone that gets in the way. But when it’s done against you – different story. Then it just so so bad.
Want to hear someone called names and trashed beyond limits just because you don’t like her or agree with her? Then read about 90% of the post on this board about Sarah Palin. Not enough for you? Go visit the Kos or the Huffington Post. Tune into MSNBC or Air Radio.
“We have the ability to apply logic and realism to situations, instead of just rambling on about a bunch of insane nonsense” I refer to the last paragraph.
September 17th, 2008 at 12:46 am
They are baby killers!!! They always want to frame it as a ” womans right to choose”. How about this idea of a right to choose
1 the right to choose not taking a man home
2 the right to choose to not take your pants off
3 your right to choose to not crawl in bed with a man
4 the right to choose to have intercourse
5 the right for the woman to make sure she uses birth control.
6 the right to make sure the man uses a comdom.
7 the right to stop before the man orgasms (or at least pull out)
Then if you choose to be SO irresponsible to not choose ANY of the above you still want the right to choose kill a child.
Abortion is nothing more then a convienent way out of being totally IRRESPONSIBLE.
I know this is not a popular view with you libs, but every time I hold my 2 year old grand-daughter and watch the wonder on her face when see discovers something new it just makes me sick about how our society has become one, so self possesed,and so obsessed about me me me, that not being accountable for your own actions to the point where killing a child because it’s inconvienient is praised.
How about the chlids right to live.

“…the Satanic ritual murder…”
First I’m going to ask God to smite you gently for typing something like that, and then I’m going to get out my voodoo doll and start casting spells on people.
Be afraid. Be very afraid.
September 17th, 2008 at 1:44 am
dennis stop twisting things abortion is not about babys its about a collection of cells that if left untouched has a chance of maybe becomming a baby after its born and able to live on its own. a baby is a seperate living entity that gets every right of any other living breathing being at the moment of its birth. before it is able to live on its own its no diferent then a tumor or tapeworm all alive but unable to live on their own and routinely removed from the body for the health of the patient. maybe you concervatives should pay more attention to the thousands of living breathing children you have murderd with guns bombs and the pedofiles u support and stop whining about women who will die if they dont recieve treatment having life saving procedures removing paricidical growths that might or might not one day become a baby that is if it dont kill the mother!
September 17th, 2008 at 1:48 am
I am so sick and tired of the abortion debate I could just puke. What about the people on this planet already who need help? It’s just like with the military. Everyone’s so proud when they’re marching off to war, then as soon as they get back and need medical, financial and emotional care, then nobody gives a damn.
September 17th, 2008 at 1:52 am
Rocky how do you make bold typeface? drink vodka very fast.
And I just explained what abortion is, what do you need, a photo? a video?
Interesting, where are there even photos of an abortion? they have videos of all kinds of surgery but none of abortions… is that right? I havent seen any, Im just sayin.
What really takes place? is there any ritual music that is played? any candles and chants that go on? we dont know because they are kept in secrecy. How do we know aliens from the planet 8-bazillion (thats their code name, youve never heard of them) will suddenly materialize at planned parenthood or the abortion doctors place and carry out the abortion chanting, then use a machine to erase the doctor and victim/womans memory so they dont remember the drums, weird music and chanting? there is only the blood and corpse of the child left behind? How will the public know if there are no video recordings?
September 17th, 2008 at 2:07 am
Lorraine “Everyone’s so proud when they’re marching off to war, then as soon as they get back and need medical, financial and emotional care, then nobody gives a damn.”
No people do care, I think you say this possibly being a liberal you dont see anyone in the democrat/liberal side caring, obviously its because there is no cash to be made off of them.
It takes Christians and people who just do whats right for religion or their bible thing. they help such people
This argument is part of the call by the left to install communism, saying see? we need a department of feeling sorry for returning vets and will raise taxes on everyone to pay for it. then some department officially gives them pity
September 17th, 2008 at 2:11 am
Bradley are you drinking again?
September 17th, 2008 at 2:25 am
Is this because of joke? I was asking someone in my language, how they make the bold typeface? and think to myself, just drink vodka fast and that make bold typeface.
but drinking again? no you cant prove Ive been doing that, youre trying to get me to say it? nice try.
September 17th, 2008 at 2:44 am
“To be a democrat there is one requirement, that you defend abortion which is the Satanic ritual murder of newly born or unborn children.”
Not only is that wrong Bradley, it’s offensive. I’m no great supporter of abortion unless under special circumstances, but that doesn’t stop me supporting other polices that you would consider liberal, or probably even socialist. And by socialism I mean being more concerned with the well being of my fellow man that of big business and big money.
The world isn’t that black and white Bradley.
Hey Mickey,
“You think it’s great when a bunch of left wing nutcakes have a protest and call the President everything except President and oh yeah, threaten anyone that gets in the way. But when it’s done against you – different story. Then it just so so bad.”
What you babbling about Mickey, You telling me you don’t think that when a President launches an illegal war based on a lie that’s killed anywhere from 200-500 000 people and nearly 5000 of our brave men and women and cost more than 600 billion of our money deserves to protested against? Man, he’s getting off lightly. Him and his cronies should have been indicted long ago.
That Radio Monkey was protested against anything, the fat boy was just mouthing off in the comfort of his chair. I read that he turned up with his counter protest with a huge 90 and was shouted down and humiliated by the 1400 Anti Palin protesters.
Made my day, when I read it.

“Radio Monkey Owned by Alaskan Women! ”
And your point is what. That a bunch of Alaskan women don’t like Sarah Palin. Big deal. A lot more do than don’t. In fact, a massive more does than don’t. You probably could gather up a lot more than that who doesn’t like Pelosi. Men in politics have men that don’t like them and women in politics have women that don’t like them.
Hate to burst your bubble, but those women will not be the cause of Sarah Palin demise. But keep digging. I’m sure you can find more stuff to get your willy wet.
Really don’t take much to entertain you, does it.
September 17th, 2008 at 3:21 am
Amazing how they don’t have a problem with corporate socialists who kill ACTUAL babies with bombs…as long as those who are killed are just brown people and you call them “collateral damage”, AND rich welfare queens make alot of money.
September 17th, 2008 at 7:20 am
Good point, Oldlefty. We can drop munitions on brown people all day and all night as long as the fuhrers of the boardroom are making money.

Did anyone notice something about Dennis’s litany of “choice?” (Dennis, September 17th, 2008 at 12:54 am)
Even though it’s the MEN who GET WOMEN PREGNANT, Dennis seems to hand all the responsibility for getting pregnant to women.
Women who get raped. Women who get molested. Women who get left by men.
No one loves abortion. But sane people don’t believe in making women carry babies to term, and also kicking them off welfare.
My question is, if fetuses are people too, then what about frozen embryos? How freaking sick is THAT?
September 17th, 2008 at 1:58 pm
“You think it’s great when a bunch of left wing nutcakes have a protest and call the President everything except President and oh yeah, threaten anyone that gets in the way. But when it’s done against you – different story. Then it just so so bad.”
Oh, you mean when all the militia, Neocon, religious and ultra-conservatives went after Clinton? With backing from the NRA? Who bombed Oklahoma City, killing innocent men, women and children?
And Mike Savage, taking swipes at autistic children and their parents? Limbaugh, making fun of Michael J. Fox? Coulter, castigating the 9/11 widows?
It’s the Age of Rage, thanks to Republicans. They’re the ones who have been calling the shots for the past 13 years or so.

“Even though it’s the MEN who GET WOMEN PREGNANT, Dennis seems to hand all the responsibility for getting pregnant to women.

Sarah,
I would add the parents who place so much value on such things as, ‘Don’t you have a date for the 7th grade dance?’
How many of these parents realize the girl poisoning culture out there that pretty much says, boys should get, and girls should give. I don’t hear men calling the show with such anger over those ‘boys will be boys’ who think it’s their duty to always be “getting some”.
Perhaps if unborn life is SO precious to them, they would go for a system where the DNA of ALL males is collected at birth and stored in a data base, so paternity could ALWAYS be proven and responsibility inescapable. (I don’t advocate this), but right wingers might if Dear Leader told them it was to catch Islamic terrorists.

i hear sarah palin has arranged for each alaskan citizen to get a check for $1200.00 for the gas and oil royalities, could that be one reason why folks like her?money talks and bull_ _ _ _ walks!

”
You said implicitly that you are a great supporter of abortion under special circumstances. So where am I wrong?
In cases of rape or incest there is no excuse for abortion. Would you oppose the abortion procedure to be videotaped and shown on television?
Dont give me this nonsense about concern for your fellow man over big business. Doctrines of socialism say the individual must surrender his/her rights for the benefit of the greater good.
Your explanation of going to war, in Irak? being based on lies? what lies? hey your shoe’s untied! dont be so gullible, McFly!
September 17th, 2008 at 8:29 pm

And maybe this is why Hussein Obama wants to steal from the rich and redistribute their wealth to the lower class, the lazy slackers, the idiots and the greedy so they will vote for him.
He wants to give a tax refund to those people who never even paid tax. IOW free money to get your vote with a bribe.
Obama and the liberals will steal from working class Americans to pay people to vote for them
September 17th, 2008 at 8:33 pm
Bradley,
And maybe this is why Hussein Obama wants to steal from the rich and redistribute their wealth to the lower class, the lazy slackers, the idiots and the greedy so they will vote for him.
That is a pretty classist statement. So people who are not well off are lazy, slackers, idiots, and greedy.
Or just the ones who support Obama?

“How many of these parents realize the girl poisoning culture out there that pretty much says, boys should get, and girls should give.”
Old Lefty, I almost puked watching Oprah yesterday. It was “Why Men Cheat.”
And the answer, of course, was because women don’t tell their men enough how they appreciate them (no word about men showing thanks or appreciation for women), women don’t give enough sex (no word about whether or not the men make an effort in the sack), and women stand idly by while their men hang out with friends who cheat (we’re supposed to be very gentle in our approach when we ask them to beware becoming cheaters, too).
When one woman in the audience disagreed, saying “You know, why can’t he just NOT cheat? I have the bulk of housework and children to raise, can’t he just NOT do it? Do I really have to praise him for doing anything all the time, when my giving is already taxed to the max?”
Oprah got all defensive. It was ridiculous.
