Everyone remember the harsh comments by the PROGRESSIVE (Liberal) left when Representative Giffords was shot. It was inflammatory rhetoric that caused the shooter to take this action? They basically accused conservative media of hate speech. Well... let's look at what the left is saying about Republicans...

Quote:By refusing to accept tax increases in a deal to raise the debt ceiling, Republicans are behaving like "fanatics," writes David Brooks of The New York Times.

Anti-tax Republicans "have no sense of moral decency," he adds.

They are "willing to stain their nation's honor" to "worship their idol." If this "deal of the century" goes down, as he calls the Barack Obama offer, "Republican fanaticism" will be the cause.

BTW the idol mentioned in this quote is Ronald Reagan.

Quote:"The GOP has become a cult" that has replaced reason with "feverish" and "cockamamie beliefs," writes Richard Cohen of The Washington Post. The Republican "presidential field (is) a virtual political Jonestown," the Guyana site where more than 900 followers of the Peoples Temple drank the Kool-Aid that Rev. Jim Jones mixed for them.

Don't statements like this risk pushing the buttons of some left wing wacko that might decide to harm GOP party members?

Quote:"The GOP's Hezbollah Wing Is Now Fully in Control," screams The New Republic over a recent lead editorial.

Other columnists charge the GOP with holding America "hostage" by refusing to accept tax hikes to avert a default on the debt.

Where is President Barry's outrage over these comments?

An Establishment in Panic

Facts are dull, dry things. It's no fun reporting on facts.

Fiscal responsibility is as dull as reading spreadsheets. What do you think we are, accountants?

What people want is a story. People love the narrative. They want to be entertained. And if you want a story, you've got to have a protagonist (Obama) and an antagonist (GOP) :bean:

That's what it's about. Facts don't matter. This is storytelling, straight out of Brothers Grimm.

You wouldn't know fact from fiction.

As for the Herd fan post, I can see the point where this MAY cause one to dislike/hate the right but I don't see the killing references toward the rightwing. The cult part may be close since it seems to indicate morons should kill themselves rsther than a leftwing wacko going to kill someone. But it is possible for one to get confused if one is mentally deranged enough.
