And our tax dollars pay for this crap!

Those who use it for the most part don't pay taxes.

Again, mandated unconstitutional wealth redistribution.

Free speech is so unnecessary.

For certain people, that is.

The liberals warned us after Ft. Hood not to rush to judgement or jump to conclusions about Islamic terror.

Yet those same liberals are rushing to judgement in this case. Most of the news coverage is about how the political climate and rhetoric pushed this guy over the edge. We don’t know that. He’s apparently deranged, and we may never know why he did this. He is apparently not influenced by Sarah Palin and talk radio, yet, the liberals have rushed to judgement that he was pushed that way by conservative rhetoric.

I guess liberal rhetoric is okay, but conservative rhetoric can get people killed.

And, it’s perfectly fine to rush to judgement if you can make a political statement doing so. The investigation is still in very early stages, yet, the verdict is in according to the MSM and liberals.

Such hypocrites. “Political rhetoric” is the media’s stock in trade.

They’ll use this to slow the new congress’s initial progress.

Conservatives Want to Kill Barack Obama: “I really think there are conservative broadcasters in this country who would love to see Obama taken ...out.” (Ed Schultz)

Conservatives Want You to Die: “If, in fact, the GOP doesn’t like any form of health care reform, what do we do with those 40 to 60 million uninsured?...When they show up in the emergency room, just shoot ‘em! Kill them!...Do we have enough body bags? I don’t know.” (Montel Williams)

Conservative Congresswoman Would Have Liked the Holocaust: “[Representative Michele Bachmann is] a hatemonger. She’s the type of person that would have gladly rounded up the Jews in Germany and shipped them off to death camps....This is an evil bitch from Hell.” (Mike Malloy)

Dick Cheney Eats Babies: “Cheney, by the way, looks very ruddy. I couldn’t get over that. Like, he must have feasted on a Jewish baby, or a Muslim baby. He must have sent his people out to get one and bring it back so he could drink its blood.” (Mike Malloy)

Dick Cheney Should Die: “He is an enemy of the country, in my opinion. Dick Cheney is an enemy of the country....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)

Rush Limbaugh Should Die: “I’m waiting for the day when I pick up the newspaper or click on the Internet and find that he’s choked to death on his own throat fat, or a great big wad of saliva or something, whatever. Go away, Limbaugh, you make me sick.” (Mike Malloy)

Michele Bachmann Should Die: “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)

“To hell with the Republicans! They’re anti-American! They’re psycho talkers! They don’t care!...Harry [Reid], you are ball-less! You won’t do the nuke option for the American people and shove the Republicans into the ditch! Shove those bastards right into the dirthole! This is about power! It’s about winning!”
— Ed Schultz on The Ed Schultz Show, July 14, 2010

“[The Weekly Standard’s] Fred Barnes — this guy is beyond crazy. I’m sure he eats children’s arms and legs for afternoon snacks. This guy is insane.”
— Mike Malloy, The Mike Malloy Show, January 30, 20

>>increase in the number of so-called hate groups. <<

The MSM/NPR definition of a “hate group” is anyone who disagrees with the extreme liberal and destructive agenda of the TOTUS-reader and the congress we had up until 10 days ago.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. MSM failed to report that Hassan shouted "Allahu Akbar!" before his jihadist evil deed. They knowingly covered up obvious terrorism.

No bias. No bias at all.

Here's the type of stuff the leftists are posting on Jesse Kelly's facebook page (Giffords' opponent in the 2010 election):

This last two years has proven to me that there is no such thing as a moderate Democrat. Giffords was Pelosi’s lap dog.

Is there any support on his facebook page? Can he delete those posts?

I dont have facebook so I am not aware of what you can do.

So sad, prayers to Mr. Kelly. He has no part in this awful situation.

Absoluuutely....as they say

Where are the Tea Parties in all that Media and political mess ? Where are the radio talk-shows ?

The backclasch should be strong and fast in that kind of mess !
This is called dissuasion or deterrent strategy and is aimed to avoid bigger damages.
The libtard scums have thrown their venom and the more people wait the more it will make its nasty effect

Just their latest attempt to neuter the Tea Party. Ain’t going to work. Of course they have no problem w/MSDNC.

Pray for the victims

The guy sounds like a drugged commie hippie. Sounds more in common with the Weatherunderground than Rush.
