Even I can argue for protection of something as vile as this — I’m a constitionalist, after all. All I’m saying is we are responsible for our own actions. Someone goes out and kills Bill or Michelle, that’s on his head, not the rappers’ heads. And just because they’re spouting some of the same complaints and voting the same way as the LW doesn’t mean the LW would be collectively responsible and should shushed up, either. Words don’t kill people. People kill people.

You know, I didn’t take Nina Totenberg’s words any more seriously than I did Ann Coulter’s. I don’t think either would kill or would try to get someone else to kill anyone. People use hyperbole all the time to express how strongly they feel. I’ve done it at least a million times myself.

We get back to a culture where we are responsible for our own actions, we’ll turn this country around. As long as we can blame others for what an individual does … we’ll continue the downward finger-pointing spiral.

I was a little surprised at the Nina Totenberg quote. I always thought she was better than that. At least publicly, anyway. Is Craig Kilborn still working? I didn’t know. The others seem either small fish or old news. Still, it’s disappointing.

Regardless, I do think the political discourse in this country is getting way out of hand, and if anything is going to bring this country down, it’s this kind of sectarian brow-beating.

Your comment about being misguided is well-taken, and without getting long-winded, there’s a lot of issues that need honest discussion between RW and LW. We all have America’s best interests at heart. Really, we do. And that’s why I comment here. But even the best of us get dragged down from time to time.

Nothing in there from Ward Churchill? Huh! Mustn’t be trying very hard.

You be the judge.

Amazing what you can make someone say when you sterilize it from the context in which it was said.

Rush: clearly sarcasm

Phil Graham: metaphor (were the French swimmers really going to “crush” the American swimmers? Was that sort of “code word”? Come on)

James Hansen: “overheard by a reporter” – not addressing an audience, we have no idea what the context was nor even if the reporter “overheard” correctly.

John Derbyshire: definitely a blatant misquote, and he was not arguing for that at all (read the original article here: http://www.nationalreview.com/derbyshire/derbyshire021501.shtml

Ann Coulter (1): clearly meant John Walker should be executed as a traitor at best, not that liberals should be executed for being liberal. Her point was that liberals don’t seem to see how serious these jihadis are about killing as many of us as possible. Regardless of political affiliation.

Ann Coulter (2): Ok, admittedly tasteless attempt at humor. She does that. That being said I seriously doubt she would condone that act. If she thought for a minute she was actually inciting violence, she’d knock it off. But she treats us as adults who can dectect and appreciate sarcasm and not only admit there is right and wrong but that we can acutally can tell the difference.

O’Reilley: He was talking about press agents who undermine the mission. You know, by, say, leaking classified information that helps the enemy. Here’s the first part of that quote that puts it in context:

“You must know the difference between dissent from the Iraq War and the war on terror and undermining it. And any American that undermines that war, with our soldiers in the field, or undermines the war on terror, with 3,000 dead on 9/11, is a traitor. Everybody got it? Dissent, fine; undermining, you’re a traitor. Got it?”

Glenn Beck: I actually listen to Glenn Beck. The man is hilarious. He might think about killing someone if his or someone else’s life or limb were in danger, and anybody who listens to him knows that. I didn’t hear him make that comment, but I can hear his voice doing it… there wouldn’t have been an ounce of seriousness in his voice.

Nobody wants to kill the liberals. We get frustrated with you because we think you’re misguided and leading the country to the wreck and ruin of every other socialist system — but we don’t wanna kill ya.

We think you’re misguided. You think we’re evil. We are not.

And I’ve yet to see any evidence whatsoever suggesting what this guy’s actual motive was in killing Gwatney. Still, this pat list of quotes you posted shows up on threads everywhere about it.

“Really? So what?
They told me that if (fill in the blank) was put into power…..
AND THEY WERE RIGHT!”

It solves nothing, nor does it encourage revelation, but all I can expect from contra-mensa.org is an auto-splodie head anyway.

If that’s how they thrive…well…”the pursuit of happiness”.. and all that.

Since it was requested, here are some quotes:

1. Rush Limbaugh: “I tell people don’t kill all the liberals. Leave enough so we can have two on every campus – living fossils – so we will never forget what these people stood for.”

2. Senator Phil Gramm: “We’re going to keep building the party until we’re hunting Democrats with dogs.”

3. Rep. James Hansen on Bill Clinton: Get rid of the guy. Impreach him, censure him, assassinate him.”

4. John Derbyshire intimated in the National Review that because Chelsea Clinton had “the taint,” she should “be killed.”

5. Ann Coulter: “We need to execute people like John Walker in order to physically intimidate liberals, by making them realize that they can be killed, too.”

6. Ann Coulter: “My only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times building.”

7. Bill O’Reilly: “…those clowns over at the liberal radio network, we could incarcerate them immediately. Will you have that done, please? Send over the FBI and just put them in chains.”

8. Clear Channel radio host Glenn Beck said he was “thinking about killing Michael Moore” and pondered whether “I could kill him myself, or if I would need to hire somebody to do it,” before concluding: “No, I think I could. I think he could be looking me in the eye, you know, and I could just be choking the life out — is this wrong?”

This sort of thing tests the limits of what is protected speech. You won’t find anything like this coming from any significant figure on the LW.

Again, “critical” in the specific versus “hateful” in the general. Look it up. You are a native speaker of English, aren’t you?

In a general way, every time someone characterizes Dems or the LW as “the enemy” or “emboldening the enemy” or “anti-America” or “liberalism is the greatest threat this country faces today” and then suggests that enemies should be “defeated” or “eliminated,” that is, in fact, threatening.

Definitely. The Left has never suggested that greedy corporate execs are poisoning the environment. We’ve never heard one peep about how GOP politicians are ripping off old people & throwing them out of their homes…or “trying to take food from the mouths of school children.” (Remember Dick Gephardt criticizing the Gingrich “Contract with America?”)

Geesh, do you remember the comment that Clarence Thomas’ wife ought to feed him lots of eggs and butter?

Nor has it ever been suggested that conservative Christian groups are trying to ram their values down everyone else’s throats.

The so-called hate speech you’re referring to is about defeating the Left’s agenda in Congress and at the ballot box, because much of what it says about the War on Terror (for example) does encourage foreign dictators & terrorists, resulting in the deaths of American GI’s. But nobody has said a word about hurting or killing such people, and neither is there any movement afoot to jail them or otherwise forcibly silence such irresponsible hate speech from antiwar protestors.

I’ll bet you didn’t pay a dime’s worth of attention to the “Code Pink” protests at the USMC recruiting station in Berzerkely a few months ago…or to anything that was said at Cindy Sheehan’s “Camp Casey” just outside of Bush’s ranch in Crawford, TX in the last three years.

We hear enough from people like you every time we turn on the TV…don’t need more of it when we read a conservative blog.
Get lost, moonbat.
