You are so right. I was disappointed that the panel on Brett’s show yesterday didn’t seem particularly unhappy with his comment and just treated it as a joke.
However, I assume that most of the generation younger than me talks like that all the time, so folks like me who find the ever increasing use of that word in almost every conversation troubling, are just quaint holdovers from a different time. Besides, it makes him cool. (It is the only reason I can come up for that people throw that word into every day conversation, since they never use it to mean anything).

“The vitriolic health care debate has become personal — too personal, say House Democrats who voted for the bill and now find not just themselves but their families in the cross hairs of opponents.”

Tough $hit, you fascist swine. You should have thought of that before you voted.
So you have sown and so you shall reap.

Excuse me, but exactly what has the left been doing all along? Look at what happened to INDIVIDUALS in California after the prop 8 vote.

Yeah, look at that! :-(

I suggest that you retire to the mountains with no TV, radio, nagazines or newspapers. It’s probably gonna get worse, and I’m all for it.

It was a travesty what the left did to soliders such as yourself during the Vietnam War.

Now it’s time to say “payback’s a bitch” to these leftists that have spit on this country since the 1960s.

Oh, but the left’s motto: What’s good for the goose is NOT good for the gander....

This wasn’t Healthcare “reform”. It was a total overhall. Healthcare restructuring.

How many people polled were HAPPY with their healthcare plans? Those are being changed as well.

“Jesus didn’t use violence.”
I’d say the money changers in the Temple would disagree with your assessement.

Kicking over a table is hardly the same thing as killing someone.

We need to keep our powder dry, Glenn is right they are looking for an excuse to marginalize us or go Martial Law. My guess it may not be conservatives but agent provocateurs.

It just means we have to pick a candidate in our area, go volunteer to; put up signs, make phone calls @ the local area, etc. (screw the RNC).

Without violence, there would have been no American Revolution...without the agitation of the Sons of Liberty, there would have been no Boston Tea Party, no Bunker Hill...

Sometimes, Gandhi’s methods are right. Sometimes, they aren’t.

Sometimes, God uses the daisy, sometimes the rifle.

It will unfold over time which method he’s going to use this occasion.

Awwww . . . the babies reach into our lives and tell us what to do. They reach into our companies and tell us that we are making too much from our hard work and they will spread our wealth around. They reach into our wallets and tell us that our money will be used for abortions. Now thy whine that this is getting personal? It got personal back when they crated a “constitutional right” to use our money to kill their children. I don’t approve of violence against these sick anti-American socialists, but I see nothing wrong with a little harassment, or with them facing an angry mob of real Americans daily, people who resent their evil intrusions on our lives.

They’re lucky we don’t storm the damn capital with pitchforks and torches and burn that city down.

too personal, say House Democrats who voted for the bill and now find not just themselves but their families in the cross hairs of opponents.

Americans are tired of being frightened, as we were on November 4, 2008.

Americans are tired of being economically raped, as we were in March 2009.

Americans are tired of being "herded", expected to behave in a predictable and docile manner, like livestock.

Americans are tired of being treated like servants, whose purpose is to serve the elite elected to serve Americans.

Americans tired of being in the crosshairs of the likes of William Ayers, who to this day has not recanted of his 1970 call for the extermination of 25 Million unrepentant capitalists.

Americans are losing all fear, all hope and therefore all sense abandon, as they now find themselves in Tytler's trough of bondage.

Americans are looking forward to new hope.

Sometimes, payback's a real b!tch.
