My blog on Republican Tim D'Annunzio's "Machine Gun Social" yesterday elicited plenty of attacks on the 8th District congressional candidate. So he fired back."Just to clear things up," he wrote in his own post, "not that it will matter to the racist, typical red necked hicks that have now replaced 'N' word with their new bigoted hate, Jim's (gun shop) is providing the "Machine Guns" and I have organized the "Social". And yes they are real machine guns. Hiding behind these web sites as "anonymous" is the same as hiding under a the white hood, COWARDS.You wouldn't dare say these things to my face, but I wouldn't have any trouble telling you this same thing to yours, if you dared."
Today, he really vented.
"The old racist red-neck hick was somebody who used the 'n' word and focused all their attention on blacks," he said when asked about his post. "Now, it's that same type of person. The new buzz words are 'Christian' and 'Conservative' and 'Constitutionalist.' They're the targets of those same basic haters .... They're now doing their lynching via the Internet."
He says most posters make baseless and personal attacks. While the Klan "hid behind the anonymity of their white hoods," he says, people "nowadays do it by hiding behind the name of 'Anonymous' on these blogs. To be perfectly honest, it's evil what they're doing."
And the people doing it? As he sees it, the authors of most posts are liberal. "To be perfectly honest," he added, "some of them may be Republican.”
"Typically people who are against those things are liberals .... How do you know a liberal? They hate everything this country stands for. They hate everything based on thoughtful analysis. All their thought is emotion-based. They want to stir up hate because hate doesn’t require thought.”
His replies usually stir up his critics even more. He expects that will happen again.
"I'm not going to be one of those who are quiet, I don’t care if it stirs it up," he says. "It's time for a fight. What we’re fighting for makes it worth it .... I'm not going to let them shut me up by bullying me. When I go out and speak to people I call them to the battle. We are not going to be quiet anymore."

Fascinating.
Liberals have no morals... and the KKK was started by Democrats after the Civil War to harass Republicans. The Democrat Party acknowledged the first Grand Wizard of the KKK at their convention in 1868...
--->>The first grand wizard of the KKK was honored at the 1868 Democratic National Convention, no Democrats voted for the 14th Amendment to grant citizenship to former slaves and, to this day, the party website ignores those decades of racism. <---
Wow. We really shouldn't elect a guy who can't handle heat from anonymous bloggers...And who then goes on to compare verbal attacks online to the real, systemic and violent attacks the KKK.
Stop playing the victim.
who cares, and please keep your conservative victimology complex to yourself.
Wow: "How do you know a liberal? They hate everything this country stands for. They hate everything based on thoughtful analysis. All their thought is emotion-based. They want to stir up hate because hate doesn’t require thought.”
I guess the Klan was liberal, according to these criteria, as was the Nazi Party.
I don't want to get into a pot-kettle thing, but Tim seems a tad emotional here.
Methinks this gentleman needs to find some thicker skin...the schoolyard machismo doesn't wear very well. Washington DC would flatten him in 5 seconds, lol.
Also, it's 2010...welcome to the internet, rotflmfao.
Can we please keep Tim around after the primary? He really is very entertaining.
I must say this guy sounds as nutty as that Florida guy whats his name, grayson?
These two are like water seeking their own nutty level.
If obama had his way and everyone tuned off "media" so the country could not see what he was doing, we'd all miss the crazy entertaining efers like this guy and Grayson.
The Democrats that were in the Klan joined the Republican party over the Civil Rights Act. That is a fact that they love to leave out. I've seen cowardly behavior from both sides. The "evangelical christians" are the most venomous and judgmental. I don't think Christ would recognize them at all or claim them. Denunzio sounds hate filled to me. Republicans specialize in projection. They love to call others what they actually are.
And when the Democrats changed their racist ways, all the one opposed to it (The Dixiecrats) became...Republicans. Wheere do you think the "states' rights" rallying cry came from? Surely you don't view Lincoln as a states' rights supporter.
If nothing else at least he reads the opinions of constituents, which seems to be much more than most of those in Congress
I bet most of the comments are coming from tim's staffers that got fired or quite.
He sure is the victim.
More like a complete moron.
The argument that liberals hate this country is JUST STUPID AND NOT PATRIOTIC! This country was FOUNDED on not being happy with the status quo and wanting to change it so that we can better the nation so that our children can have an improved future. If we we 'liberals' were never around, this country would NOT have been started.
Just to keep that in mind, moron, running for congress. Jeez, he is more of a nut case than Palin.
He was merely pointing out the cowardice of people who hide behind their computers and know they will never have to confront him face to face.
It's the type of thing caddy girls do when they get ticked off at someone for crossing them.
I respect him for being driven by principle. Few men are these days.
"The Democrats that were in the Klan joined the Republican party over the Civil Rights Act. That is a fact that they love to leave out."
Lets see.... Jim Wright, current Democrat senator and former member of the KKK didn't join the Republican party. It seems you suffer from selective memory loss, an affliction that affects many Liberals.
"They want to stir up hate because hate doesn't require thought."
This coming from the guy who copies his whole stump speech from old Glenn Beck episodes? Go listen to Tim at one of his town halls and tell me how much "original thought" you hear coming from him. Are we sure this guy has a campaign staff, and if he does, where the heck are they and why do they keep letting him attack anonymous internet commenters??
Sorry Buddy,
The "Christian haters" are not the same old KKK Rednecks. The Christians ARE the KKK Rednecks, just a new breed for a new generation. YOU are laughable and yes I would tell that to your face.
You can contact me at 704.365.3454, ask for John.
I bet if D'Annunzio had a dollar for every time he said something stupid, he could buy this primary.
Oh.
Our country was founded by Liberals. So I guess D'Annuzio must really hate our Founding Fathers and all the settlers that came here to escape religious persecution.
Anon 2:01 pm: Classic. LOL
I remember my first Tea Party.
It might be worth noting that Tim D'Annunzio is being a crybaby saying he is being 'lynched' on the internet. It's funny how a guy who throws $500K into his campaign and waves a machine gun around gets his feelings hurt so quickly when people take jabs at him on-line. If he can't handle us here in the gallery, how is he going to handle a bunch of blowhards in congress and the media accosting him? Not only is he a nutjob, but it sounds like he's a wuss also. Do we really want someone like him in Congress? I sure don't.
Hate to say it but he's right. Most people who reply to these blogs have the manners of middle school ruffians and not an ounce of intelligent argumentation in their constitution. A sad comment on America and how Americans have been robbed of their ability to think by modern media.
This crazy guy is allowed to own a machine gun ?
Where's the background check ?
Aaaaahhhh. Those mean internet bullies got Timmy D's pink panties in a wad by stating opiinions he doesn't like. Want a Kleenex Little Timmy? It will wipe the tears off your fuzzy wuzzy mustache.
Dont like it? Dont read it.
But I do like that you speak your mind and dont take no gruff
Just left Harold Johnson's House. We took a spin around the block in his Vintage WWII Sherman.
Mr. D'Annunzio, as a Liberterian you would never get my vote. I never trust anyone that has a last name ending in a vowel.
Running scared this far ahead of the election is not a good trait.
David C. Morrison (just so YOU will have my name, I know you will read this blog. you CANNOT resist).
Dear lord grow a pair.
Hang on, I have some wood here. You can use it to make a cross and hang yourself from it when you feel the world isn't treating your right.
I hope he isn't the best the Republicans have for the 8th district. His district is necessary to reclaim the majority in the house and well, you don't win a seat by waving a machine gun.
Last I checked the key issues right now are jobs, jobs and well...jobs. If you had to expand that, go with the economy and well...health care and how it will cost us jobs. If you wanted to go even further, you can talk about the Cap and Trade bill and how if passed will cost us more jobs.
You see, Guns aren't an issue right now, and support for owning fully automatic Machine Guns lacks support from everyone on the left, most of the middle and a decent amount of those on the right. You basically just shot your potential voters by making a stand that has nothing to do with JOBS
Well, if Tim's not scared of "emotional liberals," why hasn't he responded to this challenge:
This pattern of hyperbole and arrogance appears to be a familiar one for the Republican candidate, though history shows it's more likely to happen in the dark of night. That said, Mr. D, consider this your invitation to come into the light. You name the time and date and we'll be glad to host a live-blog for you, right here at BlueNC.
Oh, don't worry, Tim has a solution for the economy and the massive unemployment... it's called the FAIR TAX! That's it, that's all he's got, the Fair Tax. I can see it now, him and Kissell going head to head with D'Annunzio yelling Fair Tax and Socialist over and over until Kissell just concedes to his superior intellect...
You know what they say.... "Big gun, little mind".
" You don't win a seat by waving a machine gun" I agree, but should you hold a seat by waving a black power fist, such as District 2 Democrat Velma Leake did today? Where is the outrage by her racial gester. She should be dismissed off the council now, today!!
So what if people are racist? I'd wager that 90% of human beings harbor occasional racist thoughts or opinions. Everyone needs to stop being so offended all the time. Not every racist thought involves hanging someone. It's fine for black comedians to make white jokes, we all laugh, no one is really offended. It needs to be the same all the way around. Relax, its not as big a deal as everyone makes it.
This is not headed in a good direction.
Because Velma Leake is a true racist. Her leadership abilites are questionable. Attend a meeting and watch her in action. If she is thrown a question for a subect that is not on the agenda she freezes. She is worthless and ineffective. But she will keep getting elected because she is black and her district is black. They would vote for a black come hell or high water. One thing blacks have doen is stick together. Once they get in a hiring position they hire only blacks.
Maybe he will make the trains run on time
Well, at least he didn't create a website and have his followers send in all the mean and misinformed e-mails and comments, like someone in the Whith Huose did.
Sadly typical rep from the state that
1) gave us champion of family values: Sanford
2) values the vile relics of hate: Confederate battle flag and Strom Thurmond
3) "requires" registration and $5 fee to use freedom of speech (if they disagree).
I am a liberal and a war veteran and a proud US citizen. I facilitated and strengthened your right to speak. Keep speaking please! You point out so many reasons why your hate and intolerance are destroying your soul -- and your political ambitions.
What else would you expect from a yankee from Pa.?
Let us not forget that Sen. Byrd democrat from W. Virginia was a grand wizard of the KKK.
You think he wants a side of cheese with that whine. Geez, this guy needs help. If anything the standard mantra of all republicans is to demonize anyone who does not agree with them - lots of evidence supporting that with his rant. Thoughtful analysis my %$**. People who would vote for this obviously unstable individual are drinking way too much of the Kool-Aid.
4:03, did you intend to prove Tim's point?
That is way out of bounds.......
Prove what point ? I'm a regiTARD Republican.
A multimillionaire with a bunch of machine guns is threatened by a few rants on this blog? Make me laugh.
Either this guy is insecure or he's simply a megalomaniac.
And for those bringing up Vilma, I agree. She's just a plain mgalomaniac. I hope Norman Mitchell runs again for this seat and knocks her off.
JAT, I don't always agree with you but both your points nailed it today! I can't wait to see this guy's first debate.
As a Libertarian who often leans Republican, I was interested in Tim. It is obvious this guy ain't ready for prime-time... You never, never, never respond to critisism from a blog-post, and you never respond to any critisism directly, you do it through surrogates.
You also never write your own reply, you have people who are better with words do it for you.
To be honest his reply scares me, i detest what most Liberals champion, but i would never go so far as to say they hate everything that is good about America, that was just stupid and juvenile.
If he gets this mad over bloggers I can't imagine he'll want to hold very many townhalls if he is elected. If he had to deal with the same kind of upset constituents other congressmen had to suffer through this guy might just lose it.
I'm looking for an intelligent thoughtful candidate who doesn't think his job is figuring out how best to spend my money and who doesn't care who i worship or have consensual sex with. The government shouldn't care about my healthcare or my sex life or my job situation or my light bulb type, or what i choose to ingest into my body. They should do what it takes to protect my Liberty, enforce contractual agreements, and protect us from invading hordes. Anything else is extra-curricular and I shouldn't be paying for it.
Does anyone know of a candidate who fits this bill?
Hey old man politician , it's the age of the internet and young people rule. You're all ready toast, so get out of the campaign.
One must keep in mind that both parties are inherently evil. The GOP is currently running an anti-Washington message as do most politicians when trying to obtain power.
Statism is what is killing America today. Statism says that the Big Central State must control all aspects of our lives and take most all of our money.
While the GOP now runs against the current gang in power, they do not advocate any drastic reforms. They still want warfare and massive welfare. Neither of these are sustainable as we are running record deficits and our dollar is near collapse.
D'Annunzio has not questioned the warfare state, nor the counterfeiting central bank we call the Federal Reserve, and he wont. He will however, state his opposition to certain "others" getting welfare benefits, but won't advocate the liberty position of abolishing the plundering income tax system that funds these things. Or, he will denigrate those that the government has unilaterally declared as enemy combatants but refusing to question US foreign policy in that region of the world.
One can go around toting guns as much as they want to. However, the GOP will be among the first to condemn actually BEARING those arms. I'm welling to bet all those "toters" made sure they got permission from the State to do the toting...so sad...
So when watching these imposters play their "everyman" game keep in mind the following quotes:
"The state is the great fiction by which everyone seeks to live at the expense of everyone else." -- Frédéric Bastiat
“Most men do not desire liberty; most only wish for a just master.” -- Sallust (86-34BC)
A Republican complaining about hate speech. That's rich.
I support Hal Johnson, or Harold Jordan, either way, the other guy.
You know what they say about an idiot and a little rope, eventually the idiot hangs himself. Tim, you are way over your head here. Start small, maybe the Raeford city council.
Can't wait to see Tim D'Annunzio's attack ads directed at Huddleston and Johnson, this will be comical. Our district is about to get the spotlight. Be sure to remind everyone D'Annunzio is NOT a product of the 8th District! He moved here from a far away place.
Want to know the difference in a Bull Frog with bad netiquette and a guy that sold his his company to the US government for $60 million dollars?
You only call one Congressman in the New World Order.
Mr Dannunzio, somebody should whip you with a knotted plow line. My family and me were ready to vote for you. We'll proudly take our support and $100 to another candidate. Go back to business, it is the only thing you do good.
Most of these comments seem to be repetitious and aren't really worth ones time reading through -- though I did wade through most just to get a feel for them.
Thank God, in Tim D'Annunzio the 8th District has a candidate who towers above (and if I sound blunt here, you'll just have to take it for what it is) the small minds of sniping anonymous bloggers such as appear on websites like this.
Mr. D'Annunzio's website clearly sets forth his beliefs and principles and the key issues and serious concerns which have motivated him to step forth and be willing to suffer the verbal indignities that lesser souls who don't have the ability or the patience--or guts -- must weather in a political campaign.
Most of the flippancy manifested on this blog is a depressing commentary on the lack of grasp by many around us as to the seriousness of the threat facing our families and nation.
Tim D'Annunzio understands these threats implicitly and is willing to put his all on the line to stand in the gap for not only us and our families but for all Americans!
I would invite the anonymous and liberal naysayers to just not worry about it all and return your attentions to your American Idol and other shallow entertainments.
Jeff Long
Former GOP Chairman
Cumberland County
Former Member NC Public Health Study Commission
US Army Special Forces Veteran
Oh great! Now we have former county GOP folks talking about the New World Order and all other 'threat' to 'their America'. Calling them lesser people is even more hilarious. Keep it up though. The more he squeals like a pig the more the general public can see what a loon he and his followers are. Y'all go crawl back into your bunkers, wear your tinfoil hats and read your King James Bible. The black helicopters will pass you by soon.
I agree with Jeff Long.
As the Former Chair of the GOP in a Democratic County where he never mattered, his endorsement against anyone that doesn't support some crazy man from Philly to just watch American Idol rings true.
Thanks for chiming in Jeff Long.
How much have you given to Tim D'Annunzio? Oh, oh, oh? Out of bounds or get your checkbook out? LOSER.
REAL support is ALL on the Internet at the FEC website. Put up, Or shut up. That aint "anonymous" is it, Tim?
BTW, nice to meet you Jeff Long.
Never heard of you before.
Worst. Witness. Protection. Program. Ever!
Was there any part of the Fed's giving you $60 Million dollars you didn't get D'Annunzio?
Wow! Sorry I hurt him wittle feewings. Now, Timmie, go play with your guns. I won't say anything else you don't like. Feel better?
D'Annunzio should scare all of us - Republican or Democrat. I support Lou Huddleston because I know he's the only one with the leadership to go to DC and get things back on track.
Always good to hear from Jeff, even when he's wrong. I figure Tim D'Annunzio will be running for office again, again and again. Maybe Jeff should remind him of a favorite quote from our 16th President (Abraham Lincoln in case Tim does not know). It goes something like this. "Better a man keep his mouth shut and be thought an idiot than to open it and remove all doubt."
Opinions should be registered, but guns shouldn't.
This man speaks for me.
Sounds like this idiot would try to be like Nazi Germany rounding up and tatooing a number on your body for easy quick ID for ultimate transport by his SS in the cattle cars train to the yet to be built new Auschwitz prison camps. And we know how that turned out.
Heil D'Annunzio or whatever your stupid name is. Please stay in your hick Raeford wherever that is. Political candidates are fair game espec bad ones.
If you cant take the heat punk then get the hell out of the kitchen.
Tim D'Annunzio has "delusions of adequacy."
Hey Tim, we love your tattoos. You're a class act dude.
Just to clarify for Tim (bc I know he's still reading these comments), I consider myself a conservative Republican and I will not be voting for you in the primary or (god forbid) the general election. I would encourage everyone to attend one of his many townhall meetings to get a genuine feel for the man behind the 'stache.
Oh, wait, the 'stache is gone. But it's still worth going to hear him espouse his views on all things political.
More! More! More!
I'd pay for this kind of entertainment.

Hiding behind these web sites as "anonymous" is the same as hiding under a the white hood
I'm sorry there is a huge difference between calling you a moron anonymously on the internet and pulling someone out of bed in the middle of the night to murder them because they whistled at a white women.
One is a Constitutionally protected form of speech, the other is a hate crime.
You would do well to understand that unless of course you are saying that the aristocratic white men that had a problem with paying taxes that dressed up as American Indians to avoid retribution for their act of dumping a cargo of tea into Boston Harbor are cowards as well?
Wow! I just got a medical degree since my last post.
This Tim guy may finally get the Internet!
Voters don't have to give you their name and address Tim. Kind of the point of the curtain.
What a bizarre, authoritarian, throw-back you are to what our Founding Fathers intended. Enjoy your wealth and bad looks while they last. You aint buying this.
What a googalabanza.
What does the apostrophe stand for? Is it a contraction of 'umbass'?
Mr. D'Annunzio, we expect character and truth from our candidates in the 8th District. Troubling events from your past are now being talked about by many in our area. Can you put these matters to rest for us? 1-Have you ever been arrested? 2-What were the charges and circumstances? 3-Have you served time in jail? We have always held our candidates to high standards and you are no exception.
Hey chill.
Knights In White Satin was a great song by the British Moody Blues in 1968 and one of the best songs ever in music history.
Mr. Morrill: please put on your investigative journalist hat and do some sniffing around. If Tim D'Annunzio has a checkered past we deserve to know. How unfair would it be to the good people of the
8th district if he wins the May primary only to be slaughtered in November by Larry Kissell's opposition research.
Really Andy Yates? You think THIS is the time to release what you know on your opponent?
I thought better of Huddleston.
Guess not. After all, he hired some Charlotte real estate agent to do his thinking.
Wha...?
Take that Lou Huddleston!
http://christswar.blogspot.com/2010/02/anonymous-has-no-character-or-integrity.html
Andy Yates is mad a man wanted see his children? Niiiiice Lou.
Wow the picture is dashing. I like using this types of design in Posters.
Hey Jim Morrill, one more blog please. This is heating up nicely. Let's make the RNC proud of our candidates!
For the record, Harold Johnson had nothing to do with this. He doesn't even live here.
Oh no, you guys done done it now.
http://hotlineoncall.nationaljournal.com/archives/2010/02/how_not_to_resp.php
Timmy is gonna really go D'Crazio now!
Lou, Harold, Hal, you remember Watergate? You better lock up your campaign offices tight tonight. You can bet D'Annunzio will have his plumbers running late night errands.
Like Tim could find where I really live.
As we used to say on air after sports, back to you black lady.
Oh great. 2 idiots running now.
Harold J needs to quit reminding people he is from the armpit of the north where even NJ natives refuse to admit they are from.
OK guys I admit it. Im really gay. I hope that OK. This is the new GOP. I didnt mean to be mean. I respect former GOP Sen. Larry Craig and have deep fondness for Barney Frank. They drove me to politics. I love Elton John and Liberace and the Village People. Tom Netherton was my fav singer on Lawrence Welk.
Hope you vote for me. I used to be a parchute packer for Martin Marietta. Im still a chute packer but its just fudge.
Lov,
Tim
Alabama black Tuskeegee Institute for SCLC calculated viglante criminal lynchings at about 1/3 white and 2/3 black. These figures do not go undisputed since most occured in remote rural areas in the south, midwest and many parts of the north.
Numerous non-black calculations allege white criminals were actually lynched by a much higher ratio than black criminals in the same period. As usual it comes down to who controls the body count and writes the stories and that goes for anything including war casualties.
Between 1882 and 1968, the Tuskegee Institute recorded 3,437 lynchings of blacks and 1,293 lynchings of whites.
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People(NAACP) as well as numerous other organizations, organized support from white and black Americans alike to counter vigilante justice for both races.
The Great Migration for industrial jobs extended in two waves from 1910 to 1970 as 6.5 million blacks left the south primarily for large blue collar industrialized northern and midwestern cities like Detroit Philadelphia Pittsburgh Cleveland Chicago etc.
After this whole fiasco I really support Lou Huddleston. Huddleston seems to be running a clean campaign which I feel is important. The Republican Party has had its share of problems in the past years and now is a time to repair and unite as a powerful force that can take back the district. Huddleston is in touch with the issues which is what my family and I care about.
Andy Yates has a point!
On his head.
This guy is going to end up being such a liability.
