That was an excellent point, especially with Rush' point that this theme is going to carried into the State of the Union speech.
This is ironic — I was emailing with a lib friend yesterday who said I wouldn’t find a list of liberal violent statements. After choking in disbelief, I pulled up one. They are all from lib sources too, like the AP, WaPo, NYT, etc.
“I have good news to report. Glenn Beck appears closer to suicide. I’m hoping that he does it on camera....given his alcoholism and his tendencies towards self-destruction, I am only hoping that when Glenn Beck does put a gun to his head and pulls the trigger, that it’s on television, because somebody will capture it on YouTube and it will be the most popular little piece of video for months.”
“Maybe at that point, Limbaugh will do the honorable thing and just gobble up enough - enough Viagra that he becomes absolutely rigid and keels over dead.”
“Maybe then O’Reilly will just drink a vat of the poison he spews out on America every night and choke to death! Because that’s what’s gonna to happen, that’s what they are pushing these right-wing, nut case, fringe, militia jerk-wads to doing!”
— Mike Malloy, liberal talk show host
“I want to go up to the closest white person and say: ‘You can’t understand this, it’s a black thing’ and then slap him, just for my mental health”
— New York city councilman Charles Barron
“That Scott down there that’s running for governor of Florida...Instead of running for governor of Florida, they ought to have him and shoot him. Put him against the wall and shoot him. He stole billions of dollars from the United States government and he’s running for governor of Florida. He’s a millionaire and a billionaire. He’s no hero. He’s a damn crook. It’s just we don’t prosecute big crooks.”
— Former Rep. Paul Kanjorski (D-PA)

“You guys see Live and Let Die, the great Bond film with Yaphet Kotto as the bad guy, Mr. Big? In the end they jam a big CO2 pellet in his face and he blew up. I have to tell you, Rush Limbaugh is looking more and more like Mr. Big, and at some point somebodys going to jam a CO2 pellet into his head and hes going to explode like a giant blimp. That day may come. Not yet. But well be there to watch. I think hes Mr. Big, I think Yaphet Kotto. Are you watching, Rush?”
— Chris Matthews, MSNBC
“My Congressman Eric Cantor, and you and your cupcake evil wife...” “Remember Eric...our judgment time, the final Yom Kippur has been given. You are a liar, you’re a Lucifer, you’re a pig, a greedy ****ing pig, you’re an abomination, you receive my bullets in your office, remember they will be placed in your heads. You and your children are Lucifer’s abominations.”
— Norman Leboon, arrested for threats against Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA)
“You’re damn right, Dick Cheney’s heart’s a political football. We ought to rip it out and kick it around and stuff it back in him. I’m glad he didn’t tip over. He is the new poster child for health care in this country. “
— Ed Schultz, MSNBC
‘’I don’t regret setting bombs...’’I feel we didn’t do enough.’’
‘’Kill all the rich people. Break up their cars and apartments. Bring the revolution home, kill your parents, that’s where it’s really at.”
— Bill Ayers (who also co-authored “Prairie Fire,” which was dedicated in part to Sirhan Sirhan. The Kennedy clan wasn’t too happy about it.)
“A spoiled child (Bush) is telling us our Social Security isn’t safe anymore, so he is going to fix it for us. Well, here’s your answer, you ungrateful whelp: [audio sound of 4 gunshots being fired.] Just try it, you little b*stard. [audio of gun being cocked].”
— Randi Rhodes, Talk Radio host (this is the one I heard. Wish I hadn’t.)
It’s unfortunate that drivers must worry that their SUVs are being targeted by insulting stickers and Molotov cocktails, but one thing’s for sure: It couldn’t be happening to a more deserving group of people.”
— Ted Rall (former Village Voice war correspondent)
“I have zero doubt that if Dick Cheney was not in power, people wouldn’t be dying needlessly tomorrow....I’m just saying if he did die, other people, more people would live. That’s a fact.”
— Bill Maher (oddly enough, I’ve read that he and Ann Coulter actually are friends and dated. Ehhhh????)
“If I got (Condi Rice) a** on camera, I would put my Mars Air Jordans so far up her butt that the Mayo Clinic would have to remove them.”
— Spike Lee (I guess this is cheating a bit because he’s from Hollyweird and can’t be expected to have brains.)
“I will never submit to fight beneath that banner with a Negro by my side. Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds.”
— Sen. Robert C. Byrd, in a letter to Sen. Bilbo, 1944 (deceased, D-WV and former KKK Kleagle and Grand Cyclops, whatever those are.)
“I want to go up to the closest white person and say: ‘You can’t understand this, it’s a black thing’ and then slap him, just for my mental health”
