Media Research Center Documents Liberal Death Wishes Against Conservatives

(CNSNews.com) – The Media Research Center released today a list of comments made by members of the media in recent years that call for the death or suffering of conservative leaders. These quotes are evidence of the double standard that certain media exercise in blaming conservatives for the shooting in Tucson, Ariz., while ignoring liberals’ death-wish-like rhetoric against conservatives, said the organization in a press release.

“The so-called ‘news’ media have zero currency in this debate because we have documented the Left using hateful, vicious language far worse than any conservative,” said Brent Bozell, president of the Media Research Center (MRC), a conservative watchdog group.  “Their attacks on conservatives are untrue and utterly hypocritical.”

“If they really cared about the effects of political rhetoric, they would have gone after any number of those left-wingers who have directly incited violence -- starting with the man with the world’s biggest audience: President Obama,” said Bozell.  “After all, he did say, ‘If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun.’”

“But that would be a ridiculous charge,” he continued. “And besides, the media aren’t really concerned about violent rhetoric. This is part of a much more insidious and calculated campaign to criminalize conservative thought.”

“Next they will ramp up support to regulate free speech on radio airwaves and the like,” said Bozell.  “They want to illegalize opposition to liberal thought and are willing to accuse, indict and prosecute anyone who stands in the way of that socialist goal.”

Founded in 1987, the MRC states that its mission is “to bring balance to the news media.”  CNSNews.com, launched in 1998, is a division of the MRC.

In its press release of today, the MRC presented numerous quotes from members of the media that either call for or express delight in the death of certain conservative leaders. Some of these quotes include the following:

“Rush Limbaugh is beginning to look more and more like Mr. Big, and at some point somebody’s going to jam a CO2 pellet into his head and he’s going to explode like a giant blimp. That day may come. Not yet, but we’ll be there to watch.” -- Chris Matthews on MSNBC’s Morning Meeting, Oct. 13, 2009.

“So, Michele, slit your wrist! Go ahead! I mean, you know, why not? I mean, if you want to -- or, you know, do us all a better thing. Move that knife up about two feet. I mean, start right at the collarbone.” --  Montel Williams talking about Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) on Air America’s Montel Across America, Sept. 2, 2009.

“He is an enemy of the country, in my opinion, Dick Cheney is, he is an enemy of the country.... You know, Lord, take him to the Promised Land, will you? See, I don’t even wish the guy goes to Hell, I just want to get him the hell out of here.” -- Ed Schultz, The Ed Schultz Show, May 11, 2009.

“I’m waiting for the day when I pick it up, pick up a newspaper or click on the Internet and find out he’s choked to death on his own throat fat or a great big wad of saliva or something, you know, whatever. Go away, Rush, you make me sick!” -- Radio host Mike Malloy on the Jan. 4, 2010 Mike Malloy Show.

“I’m just saying if he [Dick Cheney] did die, other people, more people would live. That’s a fact.” --  Bill Maher on his HBO show Real Time, Mar. 2, 2007,

NPR Legal Affairs Correspondent Nina Totenberg.

After then-Sen. Jesse Helms (R-N.C.) said that the federal government was spending too much money on AIDS, National Public Radio’s Nina Totenberg, on the July 8, 1995 edition of Inside Washington, said, “I think he ought to be worried about what’s going on in the Good Lord’s mind, because if there is retributive justice, he’ll get AIDS from a transfusion, or one of his grandchildren will get it.”

 

On the Nov. 4, 1994 edition of PBS’s To the Contrary, then-USA Today columnist and Pacifica Radio talk show host Julianne Malveaux said of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas: “I hope his wife feeds him lots of eggs and butter and he dies early like many black men do, of heart disease. … He is an absolutely reprehensible person.”

What was it that Joyless Behar wished upon Sharron Angle?

That she meet up with a gang of young black men in Harlem in the middle of the night or some such thing?

I'll see if I can find the video.

[MrB]

It was Sandra Bernhard (who looks like she’s perpetually smelling poo)
talking about Sarah Palin.

[melancholy]

Obama to democrats: “I’m itching for a fight.”

0h0m0 to democrats: ooooooh, I'm itching for a pounding!

“Nazis were NOT socialists.”

WRONG, WRONG, WRONG, WRONG, WRONG.....
Shirer was HIMSELF a socialist, and did everything he could to disassociate Nazism from Socialism. His books are colored by this.

Better Reading:
“VAMPIRE ECONOMY: Doing Business under Fascism”, written in 1939 by Gunther Reimann

A QUOTE:
“Industrialists were visited by state auditors who had strict orders to examine the balance sheets and all bookkeeping entries of the company or individual businessmen for the preceding two, three, or more years until some error or false entry was found,” explains Reimann. “The slightest formal mistake was punished with tremendous penalties. A fine of millions of marks was imposed for a single bookkeeping error.”

Reimann quotes from a businessman’s letter: “You have no idea how far state control goes and how much power the Nazi representatives have over our work. The worst of it is that they are so ignorant. These Nazi radicals think of nothing except ‘distributing the wealth.’ Some businessmen have even started studying Marxist theories, so that they will have a better understanding of the present economic system.

“While state representatives are busily engaged in investigating and interfering, our agents and salesmen are handicapped because they never know whether or not a sale at a higher price will mean denunciation as a ‘profiteer’ or ‘saboteur,’ followed by a prison sentence. You cannot imagine how taxation has increased. Yet everyone is afraid to complain.

Everywhere there is a growing undercurrent of bitterness. Everyone has his doubts about the system, unless he is very young, very stupid, or is bound to it by the privileges he enjoys.”

Thanks for the assist.

I did find a youtube video in which Joyless challenges Sharron Angle to "come to the South Bronx, b*tch" and a few seconds later says, "that b*tch is going to hell!"

Joy Behar: This Bitch Sharron Angle Going To Hell"

Good, you found it. I found a short Brit Hume video referencing it.

Regardless of what wikipedia says, the Nazi’s were socialist. The left cannot abide by that definition because it eliminates a major opportunity to vilify the right. However, the far right is bounded by anarchy (no government), not fascism, which is an extremely strong central government. It is the far left that is the two headed monster of communism and fascism. They are two sides of the same coin.

The differentiation between fascism and communism is that one is nationalized socialism and the other is international socialism (exports ideology). The german brand of fascism under Hitler could most closely be described today as State Capitalism, where the government allows some form of private enterprise, but the enterprises are owned by the state ... much like what Obama is trying to do to America. Think Volkswagen (aka People’s Car) and compare that to GM.

If you do not think Germany was socialist, please explain the Hitler youth, Brown Shirts, Gestapo, takeover of private enterprise, confiscation of wealth and property of non-arian’s and communist. Concentration camps for non-arian’s and communist.

Oh, but they treated communists bad too!! Yes, and like many royals over the millenia that have had challengers to their throne, Queen Elizabeth had Mary, Queen of Scots imprisoned and executed, even tho they were cousins. Only one could survive, and so the fascists executed thier ideological cousins.

[Hardastarboard]

A documented hundred million victims of Communism from the 20th Century would agree with you - if they were still alive.

Do we want to learn to talk to each other, or is it just impossible? >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

When you learn the secret of genuine discourse with liberal fascists, please inform us all.I would love to talk to them.

But it is a fact. Talking to them is ideed impossible.Its all simply used against anyone who does so.We are truly entering a completly adversarial era.And for good reason: securing the constutution of our nation, the left either follows it or gets out of town.

[Hypo2]

of course the Fascists weren’t socialist, they were very individualist. There was nothing collective about them.

(sarc.)

Your teachers in school rewrote history for ya bud.

[tcrlaf]

Was that directed at me???

[Anonymous coward]

MY SOLUTION?
What the framers of the constitution said. FREEDOM OF SPEECH.
As explained in the Federalist Papers by Publius (AKA J Jay, A Hamilton, J Madison), “spirited partisan debate”, and by that they meant insults, calumny, etc. is a feature, not a bug of a healthy democratic society.
Partisan debate defuses societal tensions by working the arguments through. When heated rhetoric is suppressed, the convictions behind the heated rhetoric come out in heated ACTIONS, which is always worse than the rhetoric. Democracy is always loud, uncouth, and messy.

[Hypo2]

No, to worst case, sorry about that. replied to your response and not his post.

[worst-case scenario]

Um, I never said that the Soviet Union wasn’t Socialist. I said the *Nazis* weren’t socialist. How does that make me a “LameO”? Because I make a historical distinction between the Nazis, who sent Socialists to death camps and fought the USSR, and the USSR itself?

[StAnDeliver]

Oh, you beat me to it...

[SunkenCiv]

That’s undeniably true, but it’s a subset of their goal, which is absolute power over everyone, regardless of their supposed idealogy. I can’t find it, alas, but somewhere on FR, within the past month or so, someone posted a quote about the real purpose of propaganda, which is to degrade the populace by compelling them to accept and even espouse nonsense beliefs.

I think I read it in a thread about the global warming hoax, but pretty much any leftist nonsense could have been referenced.

[StAnDeliver]

"It's called mau-mauing."

Flooding the zone. DailyPOS Markos, desperate to become relevant again after the beating his Leftist cadre took in November, twatted moments after the news broke "Fucking American Taliban." and then was off to the races, trying to tie in Palin 17 min/4 posts later.

Note also that Markos had ample reason to deflect the focus away from himself, given that his DailyPOS poster "Boy Blue" was the primary suspect until Loughner was named.

So what really happened here? Markos and his uber alles forced a meme that didn't pan out. They suck. They know they suck. Like monkeys flinging poo, they threw their filth at the wall and it didn't stick. Turns out Loughner was one of them. Another deranged, degenerate Leftist. How many more Loughner's are DailyPOS diarists?

And then there’s propaganda in the guise of explaining propaganda:

Propaganda: Nobody Does It Better Than America.

You speak for me exactly!

Of course, Hamilton actually ended up dieing over a dispute about his choice of words (in spite of the fact he could not recall uttering them.) So heated words can have their own dire consequences.
