How many times will this be posted today?!

[Senator Goldwater]

Why didn't Daschole call the police if his family was threatened by a frothing listener of environmentalist wacko updates?

[Slyfox]

a direct link between the talk radio criticism and the threats to his personal security

Dashole woulda been threatened by a flashlight sitting next to his tax returns.

All I know is that in the course of my time in public life, it has gone up exponentially."

Then perhaps Mr.Daschle can point us to some examples of Dittoheads becoming "emotional" enough to act out on their violent desires?

[Izzy Dunne]

We were just talking with some experts a couple of days ago

I'd like to be a fly on the wall at THAT meeting... LOL!
Who are these "experts"?
And why are they talking to them NOW?
Are they the same "experts" they got advice from BEFORE bloody Tuesday?
If so, WHY?
If not, why?

I am surprised that he failed to include the Free Republic. Anytime a Free Republic member asks others in our group to
send a message , letter, or email, I do so. I sent a card to
the person that spoke at the Minnesota funeral celebration
congratulating him for providing the republicans with a win.
On Fox News tonight it was stated that Liberal moderators of
talk radio fail because they cannot get anyone to listen to them. What ever happened to MArio Coumoh. k2afe

A conservative making a statement like that — the presstitutes would have jumped on him like cats on the world's last mouse. "Are you saying...? Who? When? Where? Exactly what? Proof!! Proof!!!"

If entertainment (Alec Baldwin) becomes so much a part of politics, and if that entertainment drives an emotional movement in this country among some people who don't know the difference between entertainment and politics (Streisand, Harrelson, Lange, etc.) and who are then so energized to go out and hurt somebody, that troubles me about where politics in America is going."

I think we should start a "Protect Tommy Freeper Brigade".

He's been the most helpful "shrill" spokesman for the right that we could have ever asked for. Now that Hillary has been given spokesperson status, Pelosi is minority leader and Tommy continues his mental self-destruction, I am truly convinced that God has a wonderful sense of humor.

If today's tantrum and whine doesn't work and that mean 'ol Mr. Limbaugh and Mr. Hannity make more fun of him tomorrow, maybe Little Tommie will hold his breath 'til his face turns blue. Poor little fella, I think I'll send him a lollipop to make him feel better. Maybe buy him a new dolly too.

[Gritty]

Asked if he thought there was a direct link between the talk radio criticism and the threats to his personal security, he answered: "I do. Oh, absolutely."

If he thinks he has a serious problem now, just reflect on the future if he is ultimately successful doing what he is trying to do - shutting us up!

[Paladin2]

If one watches his behavior over time, one has to be struck with how "troubled" he is.

A collage/montage of his video pronouncements of being "troubled" should prove advantageous in the next SD Senate Race, not to speak of humor potential for other groups.

This guy needs professional help.

[dalebert]

I saw Daschole when he said this. He looked and sounded real strange. Maybe he is having trauma caused from having to give up kingship he stole by buying off Jeffords. Gibson had someone on from the "New Republic" to day that said the Dems think they have the right message for Americans but the conservatives in the press were not letting they be heard. Maybe someone should be kind enough to tell them they have the wrong message. They are in total denial.

[vaudine]

Oh, Dear Tommy---how awful! Do you mean conservatives have gotten as mean as Alex Baldwin when he suggested live on TV that all of "you" go to the House, stone Dennis Hastert, and then go over to his house and kill his family? Mean and shrill like that?

I don't think so!

I think we're in a different place because of the way politics has become such entertainment

Sam Clemens (Mark Twain) declaring "It could probably be shown by facts and figures that there is no distinctly native American criminal class except Congress"

Think of Will Rodgers
"Be thankful we're not getting all the government we're paying for.";
"I'm not a member of any organized political party, I'm a Democrat!"
"The only difference between death and taxes is that death doesn't get worse every time Congress meets.";
"Our public men are speaking every day on something, but they ain't saying anything. "The trouble with practical jokes is that very often they get elected.
With Congress, every time they make a joke it's a law, and every time they make a law it's a joke."

It's always been entertainment Tommy boy, get used to it. Or as a politician of your own party Harry Truman once said, "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen".

[Dr.Deth]

We need a loop running 24 hours a day on C-Span 2, alternating between this coward living in fear of the 'atmosphere' created by the threat of "talk radio", and George W. Bush saying "those bastards know where I am" while discussing whether to take extra precautions due to the murderous psycho Islamikazis who just killed 3000 Americans.

No clearer portait could be painted for the general public, and in their own words, no less: Daschole, you're not fit to lick GW's boots clean, you scurvy yellow dog.

[joyful1]

Ok Tommy, so we GOPers have talk radio.

But you Rats have the public education system and mainstream press.

Why are we so shrill, Tommy?? Whenever somebody reaches into my pocket and helps themselves to my hard earned money, I squeel. I don't like being called evil just because I earn more than $40,000.

[45Auto]

Tommy is just plain nuts:

"....rambling broadside in which he compared them to foreign Islamic terrorists and said he felt his life has been endangered by their criticism. "

So what. Criticism of elected dipsticks is part of the Republic, has been so since the beginning, and criticism of elected morons is fair and square. If you don't want to be criticized, Tommy, you fool, then don't make yourself out to look like the idiot that you are.

And I don't suppose the alphabet so-called 'news' channels are not your propaganda tools? The trouble with Tommy is that he's lost his a** and doesn't know how to find it.

[M. Peach]

Where was he after the Alec Baldwin outburst saying that we should stone to death Henry Hyde and his family? Didn't that Moore -on guy say something similar?

Oh - that's right. That's different....

[syriacus]

Daschle must have a very very thick skull. He doesn't get it.

Is this attack by him a swan song? Is he on his way out?

Whether he whines OR acts "holier-than-thou," he ends up looking like someone who thinks he deserves special treatment.

He just can't project the image of being an ordinary American who really cares about his fellow countrymen.

Come to think of it, he reminds me a little of Marie Antoinette in her final days.
I'll bet Marie Antoinette would have loved to blame talk radio and the religious right, like he does.
