Anybody else, STFU.

This one-sided stuff has to stop. Either apply the standard equally both ways, or don't apply it at all.

I did speak out about Bush death threats and how Bush was being smeared and marginalized by the controlled media and the left.

I am reminded of an incident at Ft. Hood. The Lame Stream Media barely covered it. Obama did not want it to be considered a terroristic event and the ObamaZombies and media obliged.

The double standard is rubbed in everyday, I refuse to accept it.

Bullsh1t. Pure bullsh1t.

Wasn't it Barney Franks who said if you elect a Republican to the Senate in Mass, healthcare reform is dead??

Nah, he wasn't fear-mongering

It's worst than BS owl, it's pot calling kettle...

In the very post he says "the right" feeds on fear and conspiracy, he suggests people might die if they don't stop... no fear mongering there

Yeah, why would anyone think that anti-government militia groups could be dangerous? When have they ever hurt anyone?

Jeez, we see the violence from the left constantly. And we hear from those on the left that if they just keep pushing us, they'll eventually get some violence out of the right.

And the capital police has reported that since Obama took office there has been no increase in threats.

See your not bothering to lie about your party affiliation any longer Gil.

Agreed, Who is that guy? I think he was banned and has returned under an assumed name.

My God, I don't even know where to start. First of all, being the hard core liberal that you are, how did you manage to leave out racist when describing the tea party movement? That word is on every page of your playbook.

And what's this fear crap? In order to sell his health care Obama & Co told us 37,000,000 people face bankruptcy and losing their homes if they don't get socialized insurance and he mentioned people by name who he said died because they couldn't get health care.

Violence? Where?..... Oh, you must mean the violence that occurs at every WTO meeting, G8 summit, etc. Yep, lots of conservatives attend those protest, don't they?

Intolerance? You lefties make me laugh when using that word...where was the tolerance for Ann Coulter when she tried to make a speech a few weeks ago? Where was the tolerance when a founder of the Minutemen got shouted off the stage at Columbia University?

You're going to be a lot of fun at the NCAABBS annual picnic.

Hardcore liberal? You're showing what's wrong with the GOP these days. I'm dyed-in-the-wool Republican, but I don't like the fact that my party has gone off the reality cliff. And it's people like you who took up there. I guess you're now a "liberal" for pointing out the truth. David Frum finally got it, maybe there is hope for others out there on the fringe.

Exactly what beliefs do you hold that would be consistent with traditional republican positions and values?

I agree that the current republican party has gone stark raving nuts.

But I can't identify any beliefs that you have espoused on here that even the more correctly-thinking republican party would have embraced. So I'm trying to figure out just how and why you could consider yourself a republican.

I could support the republicans if they got rid of the stuff they have been doing since Shrub, or since Monicagate, and returned to the fiscal conservative, social moderate party of my youth. But I see no reason to believe that you could, or would.

They just arrested a man from San Francisco for making threats against Nancy Pelosi over the health care bill. The irony is that he lived in a public housing community.
