And look at these quotes in particular:
Malkin is whining about Obama saying he wants to know "whose ass to kick" after the BP oil disaster.Quote:
1. Rush Limbaugh: "I tell people don't kill all the liberals. Leave enough so we can have two on every campus – living fossils – so we will never forget what these people stood for."
2. Senator Phil Gramm: "We're going to keep building the party until we're hunting Democrats with dogs."
3. Rep. James Hansen on Bill Clinton: Get rid of the guy. Impreach him, censure him, assassinate him."
4. John Derbyshire intimated in the National Review that because Chelsea Clinton had "the taint," she should "be killed."
5. Ann Coulter: "We need to execute people like John Walker in order to physically intimidate liberals, by making them realize that they can be killed, too."
6. Ann Coulter: "My only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times building."
7. Bill O'Reilly: "ll those clowns over at the liberal radio network, we could incarcerate them immediately. Will you have that done, please? Send over the FBI and just put them in chains."
8. Clear Channel radio host Glenn Beck said he was "thinking about killing Michael Moore" and pondered whether "I could kill him myself, or if I would need to hire somebody to do it," before concluding: "No, I think I could. I think he could be looking me in the eye, you know, and I could just be choking the life out -- is this wrong?"
How does that compare to Limbaugh joking about killing liberals, or Glenn Beck musing crazily about killing Michael Moore, or a writer for the National Review saying Chelsea Clinton should be killed because she's a Clinton, or Ann Coulter saying it's a shame Timothy McVeigh didn't bomb the NY Times building?
I don't even like the "whose ass to kick" rhetoric. I wish we could get away from all the silly macho talk that too many politicians are too fond of.
But that's a long way from the most important rightwing pundits talking wistfully of killing liberals and bombing mainstream, centrist publications that aren't rightwing enough for them.
And then there's the "liberal hunting license" graphic that many on the right are so fond of:
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2011/1...unting-license
Variations of which are offered by various rightwing sites on all sorts of items, from mugs to T-shirts to bumper stickers.
Sick messages. Violent messages. Not in any way funny, except to sick people.
Those have been around for years. Here's a 2004 Free Republic thread about them.
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1158744/posts
And the Google cache of that in case the link doesn't work -- FR is having computer problems and that link seems to work only about half the time:
http://webcache.googleusercontent.co...&ct=clnk&gl=us
There's nothing comparable on the left, whether similarly violent rhetoric from lots of liberal pundits, or sick "jokes" about hunting conservatives.
Yes, both sides need to tone it down. But the side that finds "liberal hunting license" items amusing needs to tone it down more. That sort of thing can incite real violence by unstable individuals.
And honestly, I'd have to question the mental stability of anyone who thinks the "liberal hunting license" items are amusing.
As for Michelle Malkin -- I think this column by Ezra Klein on her "thuggery" says all that needs to be said about her and her own willingness to make people targets:
http://www.prospect.org/csnc/blogs/e...=hunting_slugs
Think of that. She knew they were getting death threats from her followers, so she posted their contact info again.Quote:
Malkin published their personal information on her website, prompting her hordes of orcish mouth-breathers to brandish their pitchforks and inundate the unsuspecting students with death threats (some of which you can read here). When the students frantically called on Malkin to remove their numbers, she posted their contact information again.
I'm done with this discussion. I'm disgusted by any attempt to justify violent rhetoric, by either side.

ONE THING about 'qouting quotes' is that it lessens an arguement.
I really don't care who blogs or spews. It's so much funner to hear what a person says.
Not some dumb talking head that sits in front of a laptop next to the pool or some other idiot that sells 'premium subscriptions' to their websites.
I think the days of thinking for ourselves is over-may as well just post a link and not say anything?:(
It could also be a 'righty' favorite,Quote:

Think Progress and Media Matters are not known for their interest in facts either.
And yet that is exactly what you have done.Quote:

See Rahm
See Rahm move to Chicago.
Rahm want to be Mayor.
See Rahm Run.
Run, Rahm, Run!
Oh no.
Rahm cannot run!
Rahm got jacked by the appellate court.
Rahm will appeal again.
Is Rahm done?
Oh no.
Rahm has donations
He will use that money to appeal.
Appeal, Rahm, appeal!
See Chi-town.

Last week was a bad week - albeit a short week - for the LA schools.
One young man brought his backpack to class and set it down a bit too hard - causing the loaded handgun in it to discharge - grazing one classmate in the neck and causing a critical head wound to another.
A run of the mill "bring your handgun to school" at another campus and a school cop who responded to a call about some riffraff breaking into cars. He was surprised by the bad guy's "one shot to the chest greeting" but thankfully, was saved by his body armor.
The bad guy was thought to have run onto another school campus. The school was on lock down for hours while 350 cops searched the area.
Three "lock downs" in a week. How sad. I remember fire drills and tornado drills and even - during the Cuba Missile Crisis - Nuclear Attach Drills.
Now students learn about lock downs and metal detectors and body armor. The "enemy from within" instead of the "enemy from outside."
Good training I suppose for going to the Safeway.
New LAUSD uniform policy.

Odd. Just as I cannot imagine making jokes about Christina Taylor Green, I struggle to find the humor in the violence school children in LA are experiencing.
Guess I just don't see the "funny" in children being shot.
Sign up the Chicago Public Schools too...Quote:

Public Schools CEO (Ron) Huberman says this year was slightly safer for students. 218 student shootings were reported this school year compared to 258 last year. Thirty two students were killed last school year, 27 this school year.

That is way out of line; even for you, Richard.Quote:

The LAUSD cop that was shot didn't respond to a call, he was on patrol and caught the guy in the act.
The Accidental Shooter is going to be charged with bringing a gun onto campus - NOT FOR SHOOTING the two kids.
A rep for the school/PD made that statement on Friday.
The effing rules give knuckleheads like that a free pass, just like giving ALL THE KIDS on the t-ball team a trophy after the season is over.
Two other students were also arrested for helping Bat Masterson change his clothes and give him a packpack so he could try to get off campus.
Not very smart when you have your homework with your name inside the BP w/your gun.
-------------
Nothing like this EVER happens in Orange County.
NEVER.
So who called it "bullet proof"??
That's right...no one.
But certainly an attempt to avoid explaining what you find amusing about children being exposed to handgun violence regardless of what county or state or country they live in.
Please,
Until you have been shot at you really won't find humor in anything.
After that, the worst effing day of your life is a piece of cake.
Try it sometime.
It's really refreshing.
What?
NO Keithy Olbermann stories?
I was shocked to see him go. I found him to be a refreshing Snarkicist and enjoyed watching the spittle gather at the corners of his mouth.
Two years of no TV time...he should be refreshed and raring to go in 2013, right on time to see the next president sworn in.
--------------
I really enjoyed the news blurb this morning and the sock puppet on FOX saying that Rahm should be allowed to run for mayor.
His service in D.C. was just like a soldier serving his country overseas.
Even the prez says he should be able to, I am sure they will find a way to get RE on the ballot.
When you can spend campaign contributions on lawyers?
Why not?
MSNBC news = puppetheads.
That Mika Bzerthasgjrjghali in the morning is a real peach.
If that idiot can be on TV, I am submitting my app ASAP.
Is Rachel M the ratings leader now?
---------
Drinking game tonight?
Every time BO says "Create Jobs".
You may be watching too many Bruce Willis movies. I feel fairly certain Christina Green found many humorous things before the day she was shot at.

I believe people will keep abusing their "gun rights" until America finally
says enough is enough and enact stronger gun control laws in this country.
We were out target shooting.
Some morons were screwing around and shot at us, my BIL was shot in the back.
I had about 5 shots over and into the sand berm that I was lying behind-yes, I was cowering.
I didn't turn 21 until a few months after JFK was inaugurated. I would have voted for him.Quote:

Lovely,
This is our Sputnik Moment.
No, We have had Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, Voyager, Skylab, Vikings, the Shuttles, the IES, the two Mars Landers and a whole arse full technology that WE PIONEERED and BO is going to use a POS Russian satellite as an example?
Or, is he harking back to the days when we got our rears handed to us by someone else and we go into freakout mode and start building stuff, willy nilly?
LOL,
I just looked SM up and it funnier than what I wrote.
Sounds like he's on board with the Old Soviet Union being more bitchin' than we were.....;)
The guy in the purple tie over the prez' left shoulder looked like he wanted to cry.:confused:;)
That was John Boehner, Speaker of the House.Quote:

Morons.
Well...I am shocked, shocked, shocked!
The guy in the purple tie (and since when is purple an appropriate color tie for a politician???) is NOT wearing a little jeweled American flag in his lapel...I have magnified the photo - he is wearing some other emblem but NOT a little American flag.
We all learned a couple of years ago that failing to wear a tiny bit of jewelry in the model of an American flag PROVES the politician is a commie/solicalist/anti-American/marxist.
So WHO is this guy?
(and yes, the veep is also missing his jewelry in the shape of an American flag - he probably left it on his pjs...)
I think I would have loved to be a nurse aside from being on your feet all day!Quote:
