News outlets that are focusing on the incendiary rhetoric of conservatives outside President Obama's town hall meeting Tuesday ignored the incendiary rhetoric -- and even violence -- of liberals outside an appearance by former President George W. Bush in 2002.

When Bush visited Portland, Ore., for a fundraiser, protesters stalked his motorcade, assailed his limousine and stoned a car containing his advisers. Chanting "Bush is a terrorist!", the demonstrators bullied passers-by, including gay softball players and a wheelchair-bound grandfather with multiple sclerosis.

One protester even brandished a sign that seemed to advocate Bush's assassination. The man held a large photo of Bush that had been doctored to show a gun barrel pressed against his temple.

"BUSH: WANTED, DEAD OR ALIVE," read the placard, which had an X over the word "ALIVE."

Another poster showed Bush's face with the words: "F--- YOU, MOTHERF---ER!"

Just from the examples in this article -

WHAT WOULD THE LEFT, THE MEDIA, AND THE FEDGOV DO

if there were a sign showing a

GUN POINTED AT OBAMA’S TEMPLE?

(It’s a rhetorical question. But these tasbards need to be called on their hypocrisy.)

Since when did hanging a public figure in effigy amount to a death threat? Just a few months ago it was freedom of expression and protest.

Remember, there is a standard for conservatives and there is virtually none for liberals.

Those two women in the pictures probably have no clue that Obama! is much, much closer to what the Nazi party stood for than President Bush.

Of course I have to provide a few examples for any leftist (Or Bill O'Reilly) reading this post... OK... here it is:

Fascism: when the government has the power to tell private enterprises what to do... I present to you... banks and automakers... (and this is just a start)

Nazi is fascism with bizarre racial theories... try racial quotas and abortions... if you are for these positions... it means you think Blacks and Hispanics are not as capable as Whites and Asians... and Blacks and Hispanics are more likely than any other race to get their babies aborted... so it amounts to genocide.

In an interview with Claire McCaskill, NBC's Ann Curry repeatedly tried to characterize those in opposition to her as being "hateful" and "rude."

The transformation of the Free Press into a Government Propaganda Machine is the single most dangerous event in recent U.S. history.

A truthfully informed electorate is essential for representative government.

Those responsible for delivering propaganda instead of truthful information to the public deserve the contempt of decent and honest people everywhere and for all time--and they have it.

Collectivists, when they attain power,
always need a scapegoat group to blame
for their inevitable failures to deliver
what they promise.

This time, it will be white, heterosexual bible believing Christians.

Gosh...

looks like some Bush protesters are

“carrying swastikas”.

I’m sure Nancy denounced this. We’ll just have to find the official statement she made....

I disagree... it will be the rich folks that won't play with those in power that will be demonized... but before that happens... the smarter ones will all be moving to Uruguay or Argentina... just like Albert Einstein did before Hitler came into power...

Nah - the left would never portray the President a nazi. Only right-wingnuts do that sort of thing...
