I found this comment on a forum and thought the observation was right on.

Stupid Right Wing, Tea Party, Anti-Government Hypocrites Support Big Government Against Libertarian Freedom Fighting Anti-Government Wikileaks.

I laugh at how the fat Tea Party types who show up at rallies with rifles and "Don't Tread On Me" flags and call for "2nd Amendment solutions" against the Federal Govt are without a hint of awareness of their hypocrisy, are calling for the death of an actual freedom fighter who is non-violently attacking big secret govt.

These Tea Bagging wussies talk a good game but in the end are impotent useful idiots of big GOP govt.

This is the far right's take on Julian Assange's recent leak, courtesy of FreeRepublic: they have called Assange a traitor, called for his imprisonment, and called for his death and in one case on FreeRepublic a commenter going by the name dljordan called for the murder of Assange's mother as retaliation (his comment was deleted) “kill his mother” were the words used.

Tea-baggers who threaten to kill Americans in the Federal govt are patriots yet they hate Wikileaks for non violent releasing of secret information, we as citizens are entitled to know, and they label it a terrorist group and they call on the Federal Govt to kill Wikileaks people????

Tea Baggers should be spit on.

I voted for Obama, and I think that the majority of the Tea Baggers seem to be deranged, ignorant or both. But I don't like Julian Assange. He's a pretentious asshole and an amoral hacker. He doesn't comprehend diplomacy. He apparently treats women poorly, and if he in fact had unprotected sex with a woman while she was sleeping, I hope he is found guilty and does time.

they have called Assange a traitor...

That's the funniest part - he's not even an American, you fucking dipshits! He's one of ours!

I can't see the Aus gov't doing a lot to help him out if he ends up getting bought to trial over this, though; some of the cables he published include details about Mark Arbib, the man behind the recent replacement of then-current PM Kevin Rudd, working with the CIA, an organisation whose sole purpose seems to be getting rid of foreign governments who don't kiss the US's arse enough for their liking.

AWK-ward!

My posting has more to do with the derangement of the Tea Party types than Assange (if he is in the right or not).

We spent almost a year of these Tea Baggers telling us that we should not trust the govt and be armed to go to war against the govt if need be and here comes a website which did not hack secrets - they are just posting them as they are leaked to them by others - and do so because Wikileaks believes ideologically that open govt is the best govt, etc - stuff a tea bagger should also agree with yet the ones calling for killing off Wikileaks tend to be the same right wingers who think the govt is out to get them.

That is hella funny! Cognitive Dissonance by these right wingers at its best!

Those asshats calling Assange a "traitor" to America probably view America is a world dominating empire and thus they rule Australia as a province.......

The illogic and inconsistency of the teabaggers goes way past cognitive dissonance. Cognitive impairment is more like it.

Pretty much. They see the entire world as existing solely to serve US interests, therefore anyone working against that is automatically a traitor.

Well, it's not really surprising if right-wingers react badly to a crypto-anarchist releasing state secrets to the world at large.

Yeah, except a lot of the teabaggers say they're libertarians, when in fact they mostly lack comprehension of basic libertarian concepts. They're mostly just atavistic, extremist goons of a slightly different stripe from anti-abortion/god-hates-fags religious nuts, but just as easily - and willngly - manipulated by the GOP.

"Inside every gook there is an American trying to get out." Same goes for albino Australians.

They are authroitrains with fascist leanings. Their anger makes perfect sense when viewed through that lens.

Repulsive, but makes sense.

[cactusmaac]

What kind of fascist leanings are we talking about?

The movement is appealing to tha nation's identity "take America back!" ...

I would add support of a strong military and unwavering support of corporate interests, but I don't hear that as much in their slogans.

Yep, this skewed nationalism/"real Americans" nonsense.

Then there's their insinuation that simply not getting their way is justification for them abandoning the political process in favor of armed revolution.

Not to mention the various forms of bigotry, including outright racist and anti-semetic sentiments, that are quite common among the teabaggers.

I'd have to agree that "authoritarian fascists" is pretty apt.

I'm a bit surprised how few people are talking about Pvt. Bradley Manning , the man who copied all these files and then passed them on to Wikilinks.

Assange is creepy, but releasing the files are a legitimate function of the press.

Pvt. Manning on the other hand is very likely guilty of both espionage and treason and is the one that Americans who are upset about these leaks should be focusing on.
