You know how long those would be in the news if a rightie would have said those....but not when a leftie says it....it will make the MSM news about 1 minute...that's it....
Disagree with the bold. (Am not going to give the examples the advantage of bolding.) Do you forget all the things the right has said? Or do you just not know?

Sarah Palin said plenty that was just as bad. And speaking of St. Sarah, what do you think the right would have said if Obama had had a pregnant teenage daughter? She got a free ride on that one, from Obama himself.

Black and Kat,

Both sides do this, however, it is the LEFT that said we need to stop this type of language....obama said it, so did pelosi....

What would have happened if Palin said, "some people want to see them haning in a tree", really, that would have been news for MONTHS....

Just look at how long the MSM went on about her writing a note on her hand...

Black and Kat, if they are so easy to find and they have been in the news for the last several months.....then it should not be that hard for yuo to post some links....

Remember though...no hear say...direct links to a rightie using the same type of language....

Perhaps because 0-bama has displayed a history of insrting himself in many different situations that he should stay clear of. Inserting himself, of course, only if he sees personal gain from doing it.

Wow. Listen to this from Peiffer, obama's communications director.

Again and again he refuses to denounce the comments of a man who introduced obama at this rally.

Now remember, when obama came up on the stage, he told the unions goons how proud he was of Hoffa.

Obama is taking some very deserved heat for this.

I like the lady's comment at the end. She looks forward to the "new" standard from the WH.

I guess the "new tone" obama talked about a few months ago doesn't apply anymore.

I think the reason the WH won't denounce such inflammatory rhetoric is this IS their plan, this IS the kind of discourse they will use on the campaign trail.

Based on the reaction from the media, I think they better revise the strategy.

Why? It wouldn't make any difference to you, would it?

It was so, so, so hard to find.

Why didn't you mention the others he said he was proud of?

He DIDN'T say he was proud of Hoffa solely...PERIOD

Quote:
And some proud sons and daughters of Michigan representing working people here and
across the country—SEIU President Mary Kay Henry, Teamsters President Jimmy Hoffa, UAW
President Bob King, Utility Workers President Mike Langford. (Applause.) We are proud of
them and we’re proud of your congressional delegation who are working every single day with
your state and local elected officials to create jobs and economic growth and prosperity here in
Michigan and all across the country.
