Moreover, to my knowledge the Times has not spent any ink condemning liberal radio host Mike Malloy for his on air wish that Rush Limbaugh would choke to death, Chris Matthews for his that someone will shove a CO2 pellet into Rush's head causing him to explode, or Ed Schultz's desire to take Dick Cheney's heart and, "rip it out and kick it around." The Times hasn't dressed down liberal radio talker Montel Williams for Republican Michele Bachmann to slit her wrists, or as he disgustingly put it, "Move that knife up about two feet. I mean, start right at the collarbone."

That's why all this talk about resolving our "climate of hate" is nonsense. When those who are most guilty of perpetuating it believe the rules of civility don't apply to them, it becomes clear that their supposed crusade for calm is more about slandering the political right into silence than it is about reinstating a dignified debate that never really existed in the first place.

When did those things happen--a year ago or last week? I really do think the average person is getting sick of the hate talk. It may take pundits some time to catch up (maybe they'll learn through lost viewers and listeners). Even Roger Ailes is telling FOX to tone it down.

There's this neat little feature on the internet called "google." Try it sometime. It works really well

Roger Ailes is wrong. In fact, this whole thing about "climate of hate" and "violent rhetoric" is nothing more than a smokescreen by the Left to silence the Right. That is all.

"climate of hate" sounds like a trite complaint to me.
