Clinton: Rush Limbaugh Comment “Doesn’t Make Any Sense” - Political Punch
...
Responding directly to Limbaugh, Clinton told me, “The only point I tried to make was that we ought to have a lot of political dissent -- a lot of political argument. Nobody is right all the time. But we also have to take responsibility for the possible consequences of what we say. “

One of those consequences, Clinton said, was threats against public officials. “We shouldn't demonize the government or its public employees or its elected officials. We can disagree with them. We can harshly criticize them. But when we turn them into an object of demonization, you know, you -- you increase the number of threats.”

Clinton added, “I worry about these threats against the president and the Congress. And I worry about more careless language even against -- some of which we've seen against the Republican governor in New Jersey, Governor Christie.” A recently leaked memo from a New Jersey teachers union contained a joke suggesting that Governor Christie should die.

Is there a chance that Bubba doesn't know how many times Obama has tried to demonize Beck or Limbaugh? I guess he and you think that elected people like that should demonize others but we shouldn't demonize them. Hard to figure out how his mind works, or is it his mouth?

I place a lot of veracity in a statement from a chubby-chasing *****-monger

I going to utilize a favorite leftist ploy.......What about all the times when the same thing was done to Bush? None of you were worried about "careless language" then.

Yeah, he was real successful at supplying N. Korea with nuclear material (for "energy" purposes) and changing the way the CIA could obtain info from informants which led to a less secure United States.

Pretty sad that all the media that is controlled by the left but only 2 conservatives control the dialog.

It is a fact that the liberal left media encouraged the demonetization of Bush, something that liberals have forgotten now that Obama is getting pounded by the small segment of conservative media.
