Media Myth: Liberals Never Use Violent Rhetoric or Imagery
As Wisconsin's Republican Governor Scott Walker tries to balance his state's budget with a bold move limiting the collective bargaining rights of public employees, the Left have come out in force dispelling the myth that only the Right uses harsh tones to make its point (video follows with commentary):
But here's the truth of the matter:
In addition to eliminating collective bargaining rights, the legislation also would make public workers pay half the costs of their pensions and at least 12.6 percent of their health care coverage — increases Walker calls "modest" compared with those in the private sector.
Republican leaders said they expected Wisconsin residents would be pleased with the changes and that the bill was about saving money. The union concessions would save the state $30 million by July 1 and $300 million over the next two years to address a $3.6 billion budget shortfall. [...]
Under Walker's plan, state employees' share of pension and health care costs would go up by an average of 8 percent.
Unions still could represent workers, but could not seek pay increases above those pegged to the Consumer Price Index unless approved by a public referendum. Unions also could not force employees to pay dues and would have to hold annual votes to stay organized.
Anarchists, Communists and Islamics around the world are the ones who are mostly violent IMO.
Here at home in the United States it has always been IMO the unions and Democrat operatives who have done damage and beaten up people. It would take the press pushing false stories to suggest otherwise IMO.
Who said anything about an arrest? We said that it would be all over the news which it would, are you denying that?
I was looking back to find out who said that, and guess what? It was you!

If you don't believe that you're certifiably insane, that's not sci-fi, that's reality which liberals don't live in very often.
WOW...did I just see crosshairs on the governor's face? Sure seems like a far cry from putting crosshairs on a map.
To think, all of this hate just to get free stuff.
Crosshairs on a map = BAD
Crosshairs on a Governor's face = GOOD
You just can't make this stuff up it's so ludicrous. So, I guess we can assume that all the outrage over Palin's map was faux outrage then? Or, disgusting intimidation tactics are only good when your side is the one using them?

I apologize, I forgot that I posted that. Now would you like to address what a few of us are saying? If a Tea Party protester carried a sign with a democrat governor with crosshairs over his head all hell would break loose in the media given what just took place in AZ.

I stand by what I said. I don't deal in hypotheticals.
The hypothetical is what the response by the media would have been if a TPer had done so.
I'm not going to answer such a hostile remark as that second sentence. My views on this issue are well known on this forum. You may do a search.
What the MSM would have done?
How about what they DID do, which was to ignore and suppress the viewing of these signs by a bunch of union thugs?
They were not so shy about others that used a "targeting" symbol, which didn't even go so far as to put it on a real live politician's head.
This is just another example of their blatant bias and double standard.
