Originally posted by Hypatia_Alexandria View PostI have waited to see if anyone posted a thread on the "mob lawyer" remarks of Joe DiGenova about Chris Krebs and so far have not noticed one. [If someone has already done so please accept my apologies].
According to one report: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...ris-krebs-shot
DiGenova made the remark about Krebs on The Howie Carr Show, a podcast shown on YouTube and the Trump-allied Newsmax TV, on Monday.
“Anybody who thinks the election went well,” he said, “like that idiot Krebs who used to be the head of cybersecurity, that guy is a class A moron. He should be drawn and quartered. Taken out at dawn and shot.”
Carr did not challenge the remark.
[...] DiGenova is not the first close Trump aide to call for the death of an official in the president’s disfavour. In early November, former campaign chief and White House strategist Steve Bannon said FBI director Christopher Wray and public health expert Anthony Fauci should be beheaded. He was banned from Twitter.
It should be noted that DiGenova was not challenged by Carr. One is led to ask, Why not? Perhaps Carr shares such views. It should be noted that DiGenova's remarks and Carr's reticence to challenge him are indicative of the language and behaviour of fascists. DiGenvoa even has the appropriate first name, Joseph.
There has already been a [mercifully] thwarted plot to abduct and "try" the Governor of Michigan for treason and overthrow the state government. If some lunatic acts on the words of DiGenova [or Bannon] what then?
Or is human life so cheap [particularly if it belongs to someone on the opposition, or who is deemed to be in some way an "enemy"] that Trump supporters will not care?
It's legal and thier right.

On the issue of free speech, do you think the Allies were right to hang Streicher? Or is this "right" only applicable to Americans?Last edited by Hypatia_Alexandria; 12-06-2020, 12:15 PM."It ain't necessarily so

I described language such as that used by DiGenova [and Bannon] as the language and behaviour of fascists. DiGenova shares a first name with Goebbels.

And this is Esther, reacting to NR.
If he actually sent that self-aggrandizing tweet, he clearly suffers from James Comey Syndrome. All the more reason to kick him to the curb -- though pushing him down an elevator shaft would have been better. NR was very obviously not truly wishing violence on him.

Originally posted by NorrinRadd View PostI love Joltin' Joey D. He is well known for his entertainingly flamboyant rhetoric. He later explained it was a joke, and anyone with an IQ higher than a root vegetable (to borrow a great turn of phrase from that greatest of phrase-turners, Sen. John Kennedy) would *know* it was a joke, precisely because of the "drawn and quartered" expression.
Interested parties can read here Jonathan Turley's article. He disapproved of Joe's rhetoric, but appears much *more* disapproving of the attempts of some to actually have him disbarred.
