Another case of selective hearing for the last 8 years, hey?

Plenty of people on these forums saying that townhall "disruptors" were brownshirts. Make sure you let them know they're wrong.

You cannot compare the two. There was no race issues invoked with Bush and let's not get started on the Bush/Iraq thing again. I don't recal anyone showing up where Bush was speaking with a weapon as an accessory.

SHOCKING: Death threats against Obama up 400%

It does not take much for someone teetering on the edge to be pushed over the edge.

Then why would someone like Pelosi try to invent that "right provocation"? You would think that someone who holds a position such as hers would never be so reckless with her hateful political posturing.

We have never been in short supply of desperate politicians but I can't remember ever witnessing such abhorrent behavior as we are seeing from our current crop.

Not just any murderer, an anti-gay murderer.

Pelosi is some piece of cake. Pelosi and bipartisan are two words you'll probably never hear in the same sentence.

I wonder if the Congress members are actually afraid of her ....
I've seen one too many do a 360 on their positions in as much as a couple of hours.

Like that is anything new. If you have not heard the reference to todays protesters being nazi, google it. You may have missed it if you only watch the network news.

The far left whack jobs insist on creating a divide in this country. They see themselves losing support and would rather invent unrest than to admit they are the ones who have lost touch. Only it seems the more they go down this road, the more support they lose.



Capitol Briefing - Republicans Denounce Pelosi for Warning Against 'Incitement'
An amazing feat of Orwellian-speak, pal.

The only people "insisting on creating a divide in this country" are the right-wing "whackos," who circulate positively insane and dangerous lies. Palin, Limbaugh, Coulter, etc. Death panels, etc.

And I hate to break it to you, but the left isn't losing any support. The majority of the country regards the right wing with horror. Fact. If you were to ever leave the cocooned world of FOX & Friends, and their particularly bizarre take on reality, you would know this.

If I remember correctly, this Bush bashing did not start until people realized that we attacked Iraq under false pretenses. I personally never particularly disliked Bush until his second term when I began to question the White House agenda and understood what Cheney was all about. This Obama bashing has been relentless and began from day one.

still waiting for someone to admit they actually voted for nancy. I'll settle for someone that can even point out one good quality she possesses. The woman can't possibly have an IQ of 40 at best. Says a lot about those that voted for her and those that follow her or continue to make excuses for her, like somehow believing SHE isn't the great divider. Then again that would mean she has the ability to divide, which requires a little intellect and some skillz. I guess the only way she can pull it off is by surrounding herself with people that are actually inferior to her..
