Funny how they say

"Disgraceful" and "bigoted"

But they don't show how

Dear much missed Poirot :) hug hug.

The tone of Beck,Limbaugh,O'rielly,Hannity and Fox in general is this:

*STOP BANKRUPTING THE COUNTRY* It sure as heck is not about being violent.

But the left ? it IS actually about violence.

EXAMPLE 1 Francis Fox Piven asks "Where are the unruly mobs like in Greece.. where are the blockades?" and ..."lo".... this happens:

Here is the more realistic version from Fox
http://nation.foxnews.com/justice/2011/01/19/union-agitators-overwhelm-security-and-barge-banking-meeting

Notice how Huffpost 'under'states the reality with a tame image ?

TODAY.. Jewish congressman accuses Republicans of acting like HITLER and persuing a holocaust!

Um....you were saying ? *tone*

but wait..there's more!

http://www.haaretz.com/blogs/focus-u-s-a/jewish-democrats-republican-majority-controlled-by-nazi-reenactors-and-their-friends-1.322166

I'm incredulous at this (that article)

//Two prominent Jewish Democratic congressmen stepped up their attacks against the Republican candidates on Friday for their “inadequate moral position”.//

MORAL position ? oh my..words fail me....check THIS out

//*beeeep* involvement in porn, by this argument, is the result of an atavistic hatred of Christian authority: they are trying to weaken the dominant culture in America by moral subversion.//

Google THAT my dear.. see what comes up..and go to the ORIGINAL source please. Pssst...it's here 'Triple-Exthnics'

"Who" wrote it.. "for" whom...in "What"?

Finally more 'sweet democrats' raising the tone level.

Look closely at the 'background' of each of these people.. compare their words to the ones in 'Triple Exthnics'

It's good to have you back, Boaz.

It is unfortunate, though, that you still haven't found a use for that other eye.

>>...you will see 'from their own mouths' the utter hatred of the Left in living color<<

And your prime example? A left-wing extremist from the sixties, quite clearly unbalanced. I'm not sure about you, but I don't see that in the same category as supposedly responsible members of the legislature, exhorting their followers from a podium.

If you - and Beck - need to dig up an example as unconvincing as Frances Fox Piven, then it is clear you are bereft of any real defence.

Incidentally, your other "example" - Mr Fuller - has been arrested and will be charged over his public outburst. Would you support the same response for the politicians? Or do they have your - and Beck's - "special protection".

You can deny it for the sake of your allegiance to right-wing thinking, Boaz. But deep in that heart of yours you know it was wrong, and will continue to be wrong.

"Jesse Kelly, Giffords’ opponent in 2010, took Palin’s words [“don’t retreat, instead- RELOAD!”] literally, and held a fundraiser where donors could shoot an M-16."

Read that again, slowly, Boaz. That was Ms Gifford's direct Congressional opponent. Does that not strike you as just a little irresponsible?

Be honest with yourself. You - and Beck - will always be able to find examples of left-wing bigotry and nastiness. But I doubt you will find it demonstrated with the same level of violence that your official representatives of the Tea Party have shown.

That is the issue here. It's a matter of balance, and of reasonableness.

Try it sometime. You might just like it.

Hi Pericles... it's good to be back too. (until my next trip to Siberia)

You ask:

Would you support the same response for the politicians? Or do they have your - and Beck's - "special protection".

Well... you might find this interesting "Ballots or bullets" :)

Let me put it this way. When Obama and cohorts are seeking to bring 13,000,000 illegal immigrant/Hispanics (aka "Democrat Voters) into legality... it may well be the time for a real, dinky dye, pedal to the metal, ballots or bullets revolution. The same one which gave them independance originally and for which the 2nd amendment was written.

As Beck himself pointed out.. the level of rhetoric by even the founding fathers and those surrounding them was 'extreme' to put it mildly.

Personally I'm fine with Democratic senators calling GOP's nazis.. it just shows their desperation. I'm simply making the point that for the President to call for a more 'civil' discourse is hypocrisy and unachievable, and is code for "Let US mouth off as loud as we like but YOUUUUU mob can't"

Ah.. Let em go at it and may the best man be the last man standing.

Have a peek at Becks involvement in Wilmington Ohio.. a much more positive message and outcome...
