NO. And that's inappropriate as well. I think anyone urging people to kill another human being should be investigated by law enforcement and/or FBI. Maybe you could point me in the direction of those posts wishing violent deaths of RW talk show hosts? I know it's illegal to threaten the life of the President, and I think that's true of judges as well.

I would respect the tea party movement if it wasn't full of ignorant people that keep preaching about the constitution, yet have never read it or lack understanding of how it works in regards to the judicial and legislative branches of government. You can't just make a platform of something because it sounds good..with total disregard of what really can be done constitutionally.
Whether Conservatives like it or not the United States Constitution is a progressive document. It was when it was created, and continues to be today because of it's design.

What about the one from the democratic map? You seem to be fine with that.

How can you not realize that your own tone is inciting acts of violence.

We have a right to own a gun in this country. Not everyone that owns one kills a single person.

I can sit here and point out many many many acts of violence from the left and that will solve what? What exactly is that going to accomplish? Is that going to actually do something to fight the acts of violence? NO

I am a tea party member and I am here to tell you I have never in my life committed an act of violence. I do not own a gun but I do believe that people have the right to own a gun. I can sit here and point out many acts of violence against me from being a tea party member while attending events.

So I hope that one day you stop sitting here and pretending that only the right is violent. That you actually stand up and want to do something to fight the violence instead of passing the blame and ignoring it till it suits you not to. IN order to try and help a political party

How absolutely unfortune and tragic was the cowardly shooting of these good folks ! Remember them in your prayers !

We have been cool as heck but even this post is not helpful.

This insulting others calling them names is not helping matters.

We can sit here and do this tit for tat all day long but some of us needs to step up and lead by example. Calling for us to respect each other enough to not resort to insulting someone simply because they do not agree with our politics. Then and maybe only then we can actually fight what is causing the violence and threats of violence

I wonder if the left even remembers when Alec Baldwin was on the Late Night with Conan O’Brien show, and screamed like a mad man:

"I am thinking to myself in other countries they are laughing at us twenty four hours a day and I’m thinking to myself if we were in other countries, we would all right now, all of us together, [starts to shout] all of us together would go down to Washington and we would stone Henry Hyde to death! We would stone him to death! [crowd cheers] Wait! Shut up! Shut up! No shut up! I’m not finished. We would stone Henry Hyde to death and we would go to their homes and we’d kill their wives and their children. We would kill their families."

Guess that was fairly non sequitur for libs.

I could not find this on YouTube, guess they scrubbed it. There is a fuzzy video at the link below

we would also go back socially and economically to that of 1776...if we stuck to the constitution as originally written of course...
This is the ignorance I can't have a lot of respect for...
While such a statement by ron paul sounds great.. the ramifications of the reality are MUCH different..

It was a person who stomped on that lunatic woman. Rand Paul had nothing to do with it. That's the problem with these silly posts. There is a certain segment of our society that doesn't believe in personal responsibility. We see it in the posts that refuse to hold a person responsible for their actions but instead blame others for inciting that action. Why it's not that persons fault, those big bad people made that person do that.
It's not that persons fault they can't budget themselves, so lets steal money from the ones that do. And since that's not enough let's print up more money like drunken solders and reward the irresponsible ones. baaaaa went the sheep.

When the ones people support have horrible policies that continue to fail and bring economic ruin upon our country the only thing to fall back on is unfounded lies and absurd accusations of racism. What does that tell you about those people? It's time to wake up and quit blaming others. If you want to know who is responsible look at the voting records of the ones voted into office. Quit going back to the poisonous well.

lower the debt, reduce the size of government

lol What an ignorant, misguided statement. Because you say so we should believe it? YES WE CAN! Please show proof that we would go back to 1776 socially and economically.

You may think people are stupid and don't evolve but I don't. I do know people and society do not evolve through the use of force and coercion. When Congress continues to look out for people through the use of force, the people suffer. THAT is reality.
