The Arizona Bloodbath: Let's Call It What It Is

Jan 10, 2011 12:22

Only one day after a Congreswoman was critically wounded and six others (including a nine-year-old girl) were murdered in cold blood, our so-called news media are already reverting to their reflexive practice of mindlessly shielding both themselves and their Republican clients from an honest discussion of the causes of this latest mayhem ( Read more... )

I appreciate how much effort you put into this. I'm going to print it out in order to be able to reference it in the future. It will come in handy the next time someone says "liberals are just as guilty" yet fail to point to a single equivalent example.

Thank you.

No problem, nameless one. Print as many copies as you want and nail them to some front doors. It worked for some German guy named Luther, so what's to lose?

I know, I know. When liberals are cheesed off with the current government, they start web communities like "MoveOn.org" and when conservatives are disgruntled, they gun down small children in public meetings. Sigh.

There are a few 'libs' who've crossed the line. A recently unelected rep (PA?) went into a public (apparently) rant about a Florida guy, " ... (should be dead, etc)"
Ed Schultz. More than once. (I never listen to anyone like that, and almost all are rightwing)/
Mike malloy . "Who"? Seems he's another radio hothead act, but happens to also be 'left'.
There are a few more, but they're single instances and/or nobody that's considered to have political 'expertise'/respect.

Contrast that to 24hrs of 'vitriol' on rightrant radio. Plenty more on fox, and various authors (pundit columnists and books)... all of who must Provoke Or Perish.
