I would suspect if I asked someone to murder someone else, I would be arrested, and at least charged with conspiracy to commit a crime. And if I tried to hide behind the 1st Amendment I would be reminded ‘You can’t shout fire in a crowded theatre’; to encourage another to commit a crime, I expect, is as serious as carrying out that crime itself.

Maybe I’m wrong. I hope not.

Yet, right-wing crackpot broadcaster, Pete Santilli, in a syntax-twisted rant, has done just that.

He released a statement calling for the United States military to execute Barak Obama, Eric Holder, and former ambassador, Susan Rice, if Trump is arrested.

In a clip obtained by Right Wing Watch Santilli implored Trump’s supporters in the military to “round up Obama and his former administration officials and shoot them against a concrete wall”.

"Get the military, whatever few are left that are gonna side with the people. You military personnel and you people with guns and badges and law enforcement will succumb to the will of the people," Santilli said in a clip flagged by Right Wing Watch.

Santilli responded to the possible arrest of Trump on his show by calling for Trump's supporters in the military to rise up and round up Obama and his former administration officials and shoot them against a "concrete wall.

"And ultimately, we demand, we absolutely demand that the criminals, the criminals in this country, if you want them held accountable, the criminals are Barack Obama, Eric Holder, Susan Rice," he continued. "This entire criminal cabal that came about as a result of the murder of John F. Kennedy, the people that perpetrated the murder, rise up to that."

"Military, join us and put all of them up against a concrete wall...and do what we must do to save not just our country, the entire world," he pleaded.

Are these ravings a crime? I don’t know. That is for the FBI and the Justice department to determine.

But what I do know is this: responsible Republicans, Independents, and even undecided Democrats, it is your acceptance of Right-wing congressional radicals like Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, et al, who spew all kinds of absurdities and outright lies, that encourage this kind of outrage.

Your silence in the face of these calls for hated and outright violence makes you complicit in the moral breakdown of our country.

It’s easy to laugh off these fools, these attention seeking jackasses, but remember what the lawyers always caution, ‘You can’t unring a bell’.

These words are not just uttered, they are shouted into some believing ears and there is no way to predict just what this form of lunacy might engender.

Speak up now, before it’s too late.
