My lord, listening to the left screaming about violent threats against Democrat members of Congress or Barack Obama really gets under my skin.
First, let me state that no threats of violence against anyone is condoned here. What I have a problem with is how the left acts like the alleged behaviors being reported on incessantly are somehow unique to conservative activists.
Zowblog has an extensive collection of pictures of liberals advocating violence against and the death of President George W. Bush. These pictures show a level of extremism that is unimaginable… How likely is it the same people who made signs calling for Bush to be shot are outraged today at reports of alleged violent threats at pro-Obamacare Democrats?
Also, let’s not forget that House GOP Whip Eric Cantor’s office was actually shot at Wednesday night. Not exactly getting the same degree of media attention is it? The fake story of racial slurs being shouted at the health care rally on Sunday is still getting more play.
Why don’t we all unite in a bipartisan call for civility in public debate? You know, I’ve been physically attacked because of my politics, I get the seriousness of it all. But the left can’t label anti-Bush protesters calling for his violent death for eight years “patriots” and then sing a different tune about alleged threats being made against some Democrats by a select few people.
