An article on the front page of today's Boston Globe mentions Sarah Palin, the Tea Party and the town hall meetings as contributing to "tension," a degree of heat in political discourse," "a potential for physical danger in their anger," etc. I was wondering when someone would accuse talk radio -- the strategy used by President Clinton after the Oklahoma City bombing -- and I wasn't disappointed:
Former secretary of defense William S. Cohen, who represented Maine for three terms in the House and three terms in the Senate between 1973 and 1997, said the more partisan tenor of political debate in recent years increases the likelihood of violent attacks against politicians. "The airwaves are saturated with a lot of hate,'' Cohen said, citing 24-hour cable news and talk radio.
Moderator, please delete. The headline information is not correct.
Meanwhile Piven calls for violent revolution, Van Jones says its time to sieze the whip and run the plantation.....
Hah, he’s a Johnnie Come Lately. Politico quoted a Republican senator of all people “off the record” last night: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0111/47294.html
Cohen was a chump for progressives....
‘Sarah Palin, the Tea Party and the town hall meetings as contributing to “tension,”’
Never would the commie jackasses think their POLICIES might contribute to “tension” - as laudibly finally demonstrated in those very so-called “town halls”.
The poster asks that you delete the thread due to inaccuracies.
No one is more hateful than those who seek the destruction of America and its people by design. They are the real culprits.
The moderator corrected the headline information.
Thanks!
Memo to Cohen: The shooter has planned this since 2007. You LIE.
As little as I think of Limbaugh, that’s one long trigger finger, from Florida to the Southwest!
Obama istheone whosaid they would bring a gun
The fact that he was Defense Secretary for Clinton tells me everything I need to know about his politics.
That left wing sheriff from Tucson was on Geraldo and blamed the rhetoric of Sarah Palin and Sharon Angle for the result of the shooting saying this is the fruit of their remarks.
How about you politicians and the print media, Wayne?
Good Lord these people are idiots
These RINOs hate Limbaugh, the Tea Party and all of us here on FR because together we have been putting a big crimp in their big spending, nanny-stating, dependence-fostering good time.
It sounds as those these bozos expect Americans not to create any “tension” as they dismantle America and take this country down the road towards communism. Are these maggots sick or what?
You are right on!
Isn’t it amazing how a whacked-out leftist punk can wantonly kill people, yet leftists still think they can use the atrocity as a propaganda tool to harm the innocent. Only Marxists, whose sole agenda is to dupe the idiots of society, have the gall to attempt such vanity.
It won’t sway non-idiots, but dimrat-fools are such willing foils.
Just saw it. Disgusting! I just changed the channel. Rivera gives me the creeps just looking at him.
Why Fox News has him on the air is beyond me.
