Let Us Talk About False Left/Right Equivalency Shall We
Edited on Mon Jan-10-11 07:59 PM by proud patriot
My 2 cents for what it's worth

"The Texans are very patient people, but the real Texans are not the people in that ditch down there. REAL TEXANS are PUTTING ON THEIR CAMOUFLAGE GEAR and getting ready to go out there and GO HUNTING. you know, hunting season is coming up. At some point REAL TEXANS ARE GOING TO GET FED UP WITH WHAT'S GOING ON DOWN THERE and it's going to be REAL FUN TO WATCH, IF YOU GET MY DRIFT, ...a-hem..." Rush limbaugh

Bill O'Reilly's recent "joke" about decapitating Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank


"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."Rush Limbaugh, Denver Post, 12-29-95

"my only regret (with timothy mcViegh) is that it wasn't the NY times building" Ann Coulter


‎"Hang on, let me just tell you what I'm thinking. I'm thinking about killing Michael Moore, and I'm wondering if I could kill him myself, or if I would need to hire somebody to do it. 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?" Glenn Beck

"I want people Armed and Dangerous" Michelle Bachman

Until someone comes up with a liberal equivalent , we on the left are correct about blaming the violent rhetoric of the Radical right wing media for creating the atmosphere where violence flourishes .

Politico has lied about our Beloved Democratic Underground saying we spew hate and threats. I dare those reading our discussion threads to find any proof of those lies .

Now go find me a Liberal equivalent Quote to these above quotes . and that is exactly what I'm saying to everyone I talk to about this . There is No equivalency , your search is in vain.

1. K&R! Beautifully said, and attributed...
Each time I've heard somebody in the MSM try equivocating the level of violence possible from the "far right" and the "far left," I find myself shouting at the TV. No comparison... :grr: :fistbump:

3. They Deliberately Spread Hatred of the Left Daily with no one to Debate them
and that is partly why so many fall for the psychopathic frauds.

4. We don't have a Left. I think that is why so much RW rhetoric is unreal and strange.
I don't think the US ever had a real Left in the European sense.

6. The Left has been MIA for 40+ years.
Last seen in the streets of Chicago in '68.

No matter...a sane moderate Democrat, like Gabrielle Giffords, will do. The Right must have some enemy to blame for this country's problems...problems that their policies have facilitated. Kind of like 1930's Germany, actually. So we get labeled "Nazi's, Commies, Socialists, Islamicists, traitors, etc." to get the rubes and morons to vote against their best interests. But now that the full impact of Republican rule is blossoming in this country and, God forbid, we have a black man as a Democratic President...time to go full wingnut and legitimize the use of violence to keep the opposition out of government. Wish I was wrong, but that's the way I see it.
