The calls for restraint of rhetoric are aimed at conservatives only. My response: ESAD.

Well they could all just have knock down drag outs in the Congreeional chambers like the Koreans (I think it was them) do. Now that would appease me.

Why waste time with the truth. Reuters knows that outright lies sell many more papers.

TRANSLATION: Other people’s “political rhetoric” is bad. Ours is good.

Obama on the private sector: “We talk to these folks… so I know whose ass to kick.“

Obama to voters: Republican victory would mean “hand to hand combat”

Obama to lib supporters: “It’s time to Fight for it.”

In 2012 we will finish kicking Obama's ass

We are going to get in their faces and punch back twice as hard. We are going to bring a gun to a knife fight. We should drill their brains. When a mosquito lands on your arm, you slap it. What is left can ride in the back.

(Who can remember which of the comments above was NOT by Barack Hussein “Lightworker” Obama?)

Sorry, but a little thing like this multiple murder won't be enough to shut down the crazy ranting from Madow, Matthews, Olbermann and others like them.

My email to Mr. Cowan, article author and Jackie Frank, article editor:
Hi,

This article http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE7083G120110110 was written by Mr Cowan in which he makes this claim:

Members of Congress are spat on and taunted with racial epithets before casting votes for a healthcare reform bill.
What proof does Mr. Cowan offer to back up his claim? And why wasn't it included in the article?

As far as I know, that claim was never found to have validity. If you know otherwise, please contact Andrew Brietbart immediately. He has a $100,000 reward for you.

Methinks a retraction with apology is in order. Please email me the link when you do that.

The spitting charge came when the member of Congress went up to a protestor and each was aggressively debating the other. The "spitting" was later found out to be simply saliva that came out during a heated discussion, not intentional spitting.

I just heard a female caller to KFI comparing Palin to Hitler and Charles Manson.
