The pot calling the kettle black


Posted: Jan 12, 2011

So far I've heard how people like Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachmann, Bill O'Reilly, and Glenn Beck are evil and say hateful things that incite violence and that they should be held responsible for the violent things that OTHER people have done because obviously it is their fault even though they didn't pull the trigger.

What about these:

"That Scott down there that's running for governor of Florida," Mr. Kanjorski, D-Pa said. "Instead of running for governor of Florida, they ought to have him and shoot him. Put him against the wall and shoot him.

There are also reports of environmentalist terrorists who booby-trapped trees so that saw-mill workers would be injured -- and could have been killed?

Or how about when the Unabomber was captured and a copy of Al Gore's environmental cult book was found in his cabin, dog-eared and with many passages marked up, that was passed over in silence by most of the liberal media.

Then we have the main suspect in the Beltway sniper shootings was a member of Louis Farrakhan's Nation of Islam.

What about when Vice-President Biden spoke before a Democrat Party fundraiser in Minnesota last Tuesday. During his remarks, the Vice-President said he would "strangle" the next Republican who talked about balancing the federal budget. The following day it was President Obama who said during a radio interview that the election of a Republican Congress in November would result in "hand-to-hand combat."

West Virginia Governor Joe Manchin actually firing a rifle and putting a bullet into the heart of the cap and trade bill in a television political ad.

During the 2004 Presidential election campaign, the Democratic Leadership Council used a "Targeting Strategy" map against President Bush. The caption beneath the map read, "BEHIND ENEMY LINES: President Bush won nine states by single-digit margins. These states should be ripe targets for Democrats."

Remember during the BP oil spill when President Obama said he wanted to know whose "@ss to kick."

Remember when Kenneth Gladney was attacked by an SEIU member?  "Kenneth was approached by an SEIU representative as Kenneth was handing out “Don’t Tread on Me” flags to other conservatives. The SEIU representative demanded to know why a black man was handing out these flags. The SEIU member used a racial slur against Kenneth, then punched him in the face. Kenneth fell to the ground. Another SEIU member yelled racial epithets at Kenneth as he kicked him in the head and back. Kenneth was also brutally attacked by one other male SEIU member and an unidentified woman. The three men were clearly SEIU members, as they were wearing T-shirts with the SEIU logo."

Let us not forget the Weather Underground and their bombings.

 

My point of all these examples is merely just to get some of you to open your eyes a bit.  As I've said before on this board....no political party is perfect.  There are criminals in both parties as well as liars.  The next time you want to point the finger at the other political party (and this is for both parties) research your own party first to see if they are guilty of the very thing you are accusing the other party of.  Perhaps when we see the faults in our own parties and hold our party responsible....maybe we will actually get some good people in office and hopefully we will actually be able to work together like adults and actually compromise and do what is right for our country.  The more we make excuses or turn a blind eye to our own political party and continue to point the finger at the other party.....the more damage we do to ourselves and our country. Just a thought.

Obviously, violence against individuals and government should not be tolerated - Violent rhetoric/imagery must be stopped.

There are degrees of "conversation and context." It takes a little bit of common sense, though. Some of your examples above are correct, some are non-issues based on degree, and some I just don't even know what you are referring to and probably have a regional context. Frankly, fist fights and what not happen. Murder shouldn't.

I highly doubt that anyone on this board - sm

would seriously condone the murder of innocent people. I guess that is what gets me about this whole media frenzy with the horrific AZ shootings and the connection to republicans. I just don't see a connection between his violent acts and the republicans. Did a republican hire him to shoot people?

Just for the record...I am NOT a republican. I've truly lost faith in both political parties.

Politicians in both parties have said things in their speeches that could be taken out of context and could potentially "incite violence."

This murder was not politically motivated. - Why do you keep insinuating

[ In Reply To ..]
that it did?

Frankly fist fights happen? At a polling place? Because someone wanted to vote a way the thugs didn't want them to vote? Oh well. Just blow that off because they were liberal/left/Democrats?

Murder shouldn't? Of course not. It happens every day though. The wing nut that shot Reagan and Brady and that secret service agent...he did that to impress Jodi Foster. Should we have demonized her for "enticing" him?

What part of a deranged killer listens to his own inner demons do you not understand? All their motivation comes from within.

That inner motivation has many sources - Education, health, family, friends and that backgr

We all have multiple complex ideas that we assimilate to form our actions. Some make sense, some don't. Most of us try to do the best we can--this is why parents are careful to expose their children to selected regious beliefs, education that they believe is best, limit television watching, and supervise them. There are fights on the playground as well as fights at the school board meeting. People have a difference of opinion, but we don't encourage bullying, and most of us try to conduct ourselves in a civil manner. Are you trying to find an excuse to mark certain politicians for violence? I think you are awfully defensive. Why?
Did you read the post I replied to? - the only people who need

and have you read anything about the shooter at all? He is mentally ill. There are not multiple conplex ideas that assimilated his actions other than his mental illness. For people to come on this board and insinuate that sarah palin or the tea party and in some cases the republican party rhetoric had direct impact on him. There is nothing and never was anything to prove that at all, yet within minutes the left was trying to make a direct link.

I have said nothing about finding an excuse to mark certain politicians for violence.

If I am defensive it is in defense of the hundreds of thousands of people in this country who are tea party members, people who register as Republicans to vote, who are being en masse maligned and accused for no good reason by people on this board and by left wing politicians, commentators, and even a sheriff for pete's sake.

It is time to stop ALL of it. Sarah Palin's map and the Democrat's map, wanting to ban radio shows and TV shows....our freedoms are under fire and personally as someone in the middle not affiliated with either party (they are both a monumental disappointment)...if what I have seen on this board by the left and in the media by the left...I don't want this kind of mindset in power in the government. They are putting poltiical ideology ahead of their country and worse than that, using it to demonize an entire segment of their fellow Americans.

What multiple complex ideas do you think they assimilated to form those actions?

Don't forget about the movie - So over it

[ In Reply To ..]
"The Death of a President", which of course was fictional, and the producer said was not meant to be a political attack on George Bush, so it was okay. Can you imagine if a movie like that was made about Obama? Yikes!

There's probably one in the works - how long does it take to make one?

[ In Reply To ..]
I have never heard of this or seen it. There have been a lot of fictional movies and I do believe these do damage. However, our political leaders and "news" personalities should be above this.

You would think so, wouldn't you? - So over it

[ In Reply To ..]
The people in this country should be above this, too, but looking at this board, it appears not.
