Vos-Republicans do nothing, total silence on School board and Election officials Death Threats, no investigations, nothing!

The way I see it, duped QAnon-ish parents that never believed in COVID-19 or that schools should ever have been closed down can't be taken seriously, especially after their embarrassing juvenile outbursts at school boards. Making death threats to elected and volunteer public officials seems illegal, right? Out of San Diago County a scene that no longer shocks us:

The fallout from a racist rant during a San Diego County Board of Supervisors meeting has apparently cost comedian Jason Robo a weekly radio gig in northern California.

Death threats, what death threats? Like the Pandemic, Vos-Republicans won't acknowledge or do anything about right-wing death threats to election officials and school board members: Their silence keeps the momentum going for what seems to be a "one-size-fits-all" deadly scheme to win elections nationwide with two "big lies:" a stolen election and CRT. 

The National Parents Union, a parents’ rights group that often opposes teachers’ unions, laid out a vision of the nation’s political future — and a stark warning.

“This is only the beginning of the parent revolution,” said Keri Rodrigues, co-founder and president of the group. “Politicians will have to make a choice: Either work with parents and families on reimagining education, listen to their concerns [and] govern in their best interests ... or get voted out of office.”
Gee, that can't be manipulated by scheming right-wing media and QAnon believers.
 
1. What, Vos-Republican Election Audit = Death Threats, still No Investigation? After Vos met with Trump, we were suddenly given Gableman's election McCarthyism, and the Kleefisch Lawsuit that is only meant to encourage threats to liberal/conservative election officials...Upfront


2. Pitchfork Opposition to Mythical Critical Race Theory, not taught in public schools: Using their own kids to feign anger and frustration over imagined CRT and "communist indoctrination," Republican legislators aren't out investigating the threats or correcting the lies.  

The recall of four Mequon school board members was based on "issues over critical race theory," which isn't taught, and "disagreements over COVID-19 mitigation efforts" that closed schools during the pandemic which has not gone away. 



And that decline of our kids' education during the pandemic closings...?


Vos-Republicans Feign Outrage over simple Reference to CRT, for votes and UW Defunding: Republicans will be jamming this nonsense down our throats for the cheap thrills their voter's demand. What I've figure out is the subtle omission of the word "supremacist" between the words "white" and "students" in the quote below:  

Robin Vos, R-Rochester, said it was “unacceptable” and “appalling” to mandate training that “instills the university’s negative opinion of white __ students and the idea that students should feel guilty simply because of their race.”
Of course, no one is saying students "should feel guilty," a ridiculous and outright fabrication never corrected by media reporting. You can bet this will result in more death threats.

CRT leads to Banned Books and Burnings: Here's that unbelievable story from Virginia where parents are getting to design curriculum for public education: 



When School Boards Change...: Here's what teachers will be teaching instead, all the while dividing parents from their kids, possibly forever. Really, Trump is still president?:


Heck I might just start threatening school board members.

Arming and the call for War: The Trumpian losers don't know when to stop, when to question, and when to just read the damn story for once instead of the headline:


Kevin Hermening's views on fascism, debating with Ed Fallone, Associate Professor of Law at Marquette University.  From a blog post in 2013:

Journalists receive Death Threats from War Hungry conservatives for Criticizing "American Sniper."

My conservative confidant and I have gone our separate ways. What happened? I simply said there's a growing feeling on the right that liberals are threat, and they're using that vilification to justify taking up arms against the government. He wondered where I ever got that impression.

Well, the reaction to Clint Eastwood's film "American Sniper" is the latest and best example yet that sadly proves my point. Raw Story:
Two journalists, Rania Khalek and Max Blumenthal, have become the target of death threats and online harassment from conservatives and Tea Party supporters for their criticism of the pro-Iraq War film American Sniper.

Khalek wrote on Friday that she and Blumenthal had aired their grievances with the film, which they see as glorifying the U.S. invasion of Iraq and lionizing a bloodthirsty killer who boasted of his pleasure in gunning down some 160 to 250 Iraqi “savages” during the height of the war.

This “kicked off an endless flood in our Twitter mentions of outraged rightwing military worshippers who’ve whipped themselves into a hateful frenzy out of blind obedience to a mass killer,” Khalek said.

That's dangerous talk from the conservative right, that now seems to oppose free speech and opposing viewpoints. How long before threats like these not only dampen free speech, but morph into actual vigilante "justice," protecting our "freedoms?"
Michelle Malkin’s site Twitchy.com published a piece blasting Khalek and Blumenthal as “American Psychos,” far-left kooks trying to tarnish the memory of a great American. Blumenthal and Khalek were then flooded with death threats and harassment.

From the now-suspended account of one Robert Clemons came the exhortation, “BOTH OF YOU ASSHOLES NEED TO BE SHOT DEAD. DO ALL A FAVOR. GO KILL YOURSELVES.” Clemens also wrote, “@RaniaKhalek it is a DAMN SHAME he never had the chance to target YOU. YOU NEED TO DIE C*NT.”

Here's what some of those tweets looked like:

Out of State Walker Thugs now Making Death Threats.

Walker's thugs, from out of state no less, started their campaign of death threats. Looks like the "silent majority" in Wisconsin are a little insecure over Scott Walker's policies. 

Why play dirty tricks, throw rock through business windows, commit recall petition fraud, and scare people if Walker's policies are so popular? 

But overt death threats, not conversational posts on Facebook with their picture and bio, is a different story. Any slight reference to a threat should be avoided at all costs, but that doesn't mean the lawless far right wing feels the same way. Like this late breaking threat:
jsonline: A teacher and prominent critic of Gov. Scott Walker said she received a death threat early Thursday against her and her family. Blogger Heather DuBois Bourenane drew attention in September when NBC news anchor Brian Williams read to Walker a sharply critical letter from the Sun Prairie teacher at the network’s Education Nation conference.

DuBois Bourenane immediately made a report to the Sun Prairie Police Department about the telephone threat, which came at 4 a.m. Thursday … the threat was made by a man who wouldn’t identify himself … the man told her in a deliberate but threatening tone that her life and the lives of her family were in danger because “you’ve attracted the attention of some very bad people.” …the call was made from a cellular telephone in the Twin Cities 612 area code. A call made to that number Thursday produced only a message that the user had not set up his or her voice mailbox.
