His eliminationist rhetoric was like something out of an old John Birch Society pamphlet:
Right now we face a gathering of forces that are willing to use violence against us … Anarchists, Marxists, Communists, and the whole rest of the Left Wing socialist brigade … They’re willing to engage in criminal violence to get what they want … They want revenge. You’ve got to be punished. They say you’re what’s wrong with America and now you’ve got to be purged … What happens when terrorists tag along with a flash mob protest at your local airport and gas the place like they did in Tokyo?
