When President Obama, The New York Times, MSNBC, Sheriff Dupnik and many, many others called for a change in the tone of political discourse, who knew it was actually a call to ramp up the violent imagery, thuggery, and now, even vile threats?

The Wisconsin protests have been chock full of comparisons of Republicans to the worst elements in history, threats to reporters and counter-protesters, mean-spirited rantings, and police-defying stormings of government buildings. Now, we get actual, specific threats to lawmakers and their families. Congratulations liberals! You’ve really shown you can step it up from Palin’s “targeted” congressional districts!

I guess we’re due for another dustup.
It didn’t have to happen, but it’s going to.

The “Tuscon” shooting by a lunatic was a joke. Liberal DemocRATS all over the country in both the so called media and politics should be indicted for causing these kinds of death threats to normal Americans. They should be tried and put in prison were they belong. Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, “rightwing talk radia” and the TEA Party had absolutely nothing to do with the “Tuscon” shootings. Someone needs to go to jail. Then, we’ll start on the commie union thugs making these specific threats. In the meantime, I’ll be here polishing my bullets.

While the Democrat in the White House gives a speech about how bullying is bad, the Democrats in Wisconsin mail death threats to Republicans who vote on the people's business.

Meanwhile, Republicans request that Democrats engage in discussion about fiscal problems, while the media shows Michael Moore declaring "This is war!"

And an NPR executive explains that the Tea Party is made up of crazy, racist, evangelical weirdoes.

It would be interesting to know, but they’ll never tell, how many death threats Obummer gets daily.
