Yep, if you are doing to post something that is a new story and you have the link it is up to you to post, not us to go searching. Did you notice where the story came from? I think it is called liberal or liberal.

I am glad Christie stood up to the plate and made the comment.

There are some media programs and publication that are at least somewhat balanced and fair even if they lean one way or the other, there are some that are so biased there is no way to get a fair accounting of an issue. Fox News can give both sides and have many contributors that are on the left, the middle and yes, the right. Blaze and a few others are over the line, just like Progress, and Huffington are over the left side of the fence. This doesn't mean the source should not be mentioned if the story is to be taken seriously. why post it if you expect everyone to attack you?

Keep going, Christie!
Forget what the people want. That's inconsequential.

ROFLMAO! Fox News is Faux News ... no thanks. As a matter of fact, it's classified as "entertainment", because it HAS to be.

"Entertainment" is making hay out of someone using a colloquial phrase, "Take THE bat to [someone]" and deliberately twisting it to mean "Take A bat to [someone]." And even he'd said that the meaning would still be clearly something other than a call to violence.

Guess I can't blame him. My money would be on her.

Republicans should be oh so proud of themselves.

He really is the perfect face of the Republican/Tea Party.

They have truly outdone themselves with this moron.

You WISH he was your governor.

Age means you can run your mouth, etc., and not be held accountable?

She's a state SENATOR - not some old lady in a nursing home he was picking on.

Chrissy is the one running his mouth off.

State senator not, she is a 76 yr old WOMAN.

Chrissy made a statement that any clear thinking mind will understand to be a suggestion that some nut case should do harm to her. It is what he suggested.

Reading these thread replies indicates that there may be plenty of them out there.
