I'm calling bullshit on Republicans receiving threats

[Hello_Kitty]

There's no way any of them would pass up an opportunity to play the victim.

[LiberalLoner]

1. I'm sure you are right. This is getting so dam* old, isn't it?

[my2sense]

2. Complete and utter bullshit

The media is complicit in this as well. This nonsense has been going on since the Republicans put Mooselini on the ticket to be the second most powerful person in this country.

That fact alone is cause not to trust a thing these idiot asswipes say.

[tallahasseedem]

3. Me too...

they have been masters at deflecting things back at the Dems...only it's not working this time. They own this.

[The empressof all]

4. The issue though isn't the threats

The issue is the Incitement of Threats by Republicans and their media spokespeople. No doubt many elected officials get threats on both sides of the aisle. There are lots of strange and crazy people out there. But we don't see Democratic elected officials or "our" media people using this kind of violent imagery.

[State the Obvious]

5. Me,too. They're trying to put it in the "everybody-does-it" category. nt

[Lord Magus]

22. Absolutely.

They can't pretend that the teabagger thuggery isn't happening, so they're trying to paint it as something that happens on both sides rather than a conservative wingnut phenomenon.

7. Yeah, lets' hear their tapes.

We've heard Stupak's..

[me b zola]

17. If they have a tape, it's prolly this woman (or one of her friends)

Teabagger expresses her disappointment with the Republicans

8. not completely true. During the days of the Act Up protests things got pretty intense.

Of course the background was different. These were people who needed medical treatment dying from AIDS and their loved ones protesting.

9. I don't doubt there are a few, but this is a concerted effort constructed around

violent rhetoric against Democrats.

[Parker CA]

10. The bullet shot through Cantor's window reaks of BS. No way in hell they'd avoid announcing that.

[lonestarnot]

16. for a week or more, no way. He prollee shot up the joint himself.

[old guy]

11. I said yesterday it wouldn't be long before they did this.

So predictable.

[Gman2]

12. YOU CANNOT DO THIS, it is what they are doing.

Say, we will wait for confirmation, in the mean time, all dems should refrain from retaliation.

[Gman2]

19. Hey

[Gman2]

20. Hey, YOUALL are setting us up to be equivalent. sTOP IT

They say we are all liars, so they will not believe even tapes. You say, they are liars, so we wont believe even tapes. This is IDIOTIC

[Naturalist111]

13. You are 100% correct

in that assumption. They are liars, cheats and swindlers.

[seabeyond]

14. if they are threatened, bet it all, it is a repug pissed at them for not oh say... taking down the

dems... but their own supporters none the less

[Tommy_Carcetti]

15. Think about it. Why would WE be angry?

The bill was passed. The GOP opposition failed and was totally irrelevant. They're nothing but a bunch of losers--even if hypothetically there was some irrationally minded liberal out there prone to rash acts of violence or intimidation, what would his/her beef be? Really.

[kestrel91316]

18. If they are receiving threats, it's from the same whackos, threatening them

if they don't obstruct Dems and work harder to kill us.

[Gman2]

21. That fanciful drivel is identical to theirs.

[Lord Magus]

24. Either that or the teabaggers are too stupid to know who voted for the bill.

It's probably asking too much to expect them to be literate enough to know the difference between "D" & "R" after all.

[Blue Owl]

23. Calling bullshit on the GOP is a good bet

any time, any day...

[rudy23]

25. They're pulling a Rove--accuse your enemy of doing EXACTLY what you're doing

Then you nullify the entire debate through absurdity. At least turn it into a "he said, she said" stalemate.
