Former state Rep. Alciere: 'Nominate libertarian extremists — or we sink the Republican Party'

Republican House candidates report receiving a letter from former state Rep. Tom Alciere (R-Nashua) threatening to “sink the Republican Party” if the party fails to nominate “extreme libertarians.”

“Ron Paul Revolutionaries have proven that we can and will sink the Republican Party if our demand is not met,” the letter read. “Nominate libertarian extremists, — or else!”

“To defeat the Democrats, the Republican Party must stand united, and Ron Paul Revolutionaries will never unite behind enemies of liberty,” wrote Alciere. “You must unite behind libertarian extremists. Delay and denial will get you nowhere.”

Alciere, you may remember, was forced to resign from the House in 2001 when his incendiary rhetoric advocating cop killings was made public. “There is nothing wrong with slaughtering a cop,” one of his messages read. “Just throw the carcass into the Dumpster with the rest of the garbage. Cops are nothing but vicious brutal thugs anyway.”

Alciere’s rhetoric has not mellowed with time. “Cops are brutal bullies in the business of intimidating humans into obeying unjust laws,” reads one of his web sites. “Cops are the scum of the Earth.”

In his message to the state GOP, Alciere wrote, “We are entitled to use any necessary means, — especially nonviolent means — to stop your government from violating our rights. If we give you a choice, you won’t comply; so we won’t give you a choice. We have to win.”

“Sometimes a rapist is so far gone, he doesn’t expect the victim to be angry at him,” Alciere continued. “You’re just as crazy if you think you can vote away our freedoms and show depraved indifference to our rights without breeding hostility.”
