Title: Hateful rhetoric...
Post by: Fury on January 10, 2011, 09:52:44 AM
Let's play devil's advocate here:

LEFT WING Radio host Mike Malloy, ”Maybe Glenn Beck will do the honorable thing and blow his brains out.” ”Maybe Bill O’Reilly will drink a vat of that poison he spews every night and choke to death.”

“If one of those racist Republicans like John Boehner had spit on me, I’d have shot him in the face with a 9mm,” said a Caller to Rep. Jean Schmidt (R-OH)

“Dick Cheney’s in the hospital. First good news of the day. Cheney needs a stake though the heart.” –Radio Host Mike Malloy

“Teabaggers are just like Islamic terrorists who think committing murder in the name of God is a holy act that will be rewarded in the afterlife,” and other “teabaggers and terrorists” comparisons from Mike Malloy


All of these signs were paraded in public by Left Wingers:

It's interesting that every leftist is using this event to further divide the people of this country. The Repubs seem to be playing the moderate card while the left seems to be doing everything they can to vilify the Americans who don't fall in lock step with their agenda.

These people are pathetic. THey crossed over the deep end this time. 5 or 6 people including a federal judge and a 9 year old girl have been killed, a US Congresswoman has been shot in the head, and the left are using this tragedy to advance thier political agenda. Utterly sick fucks these people are. Remember "RHAMBO" 's words? "Never waste a perfectly good crisis." The left's political ambitions knows no bounds. THey used th nation's worst economic crisis in 28 years to nationalise healthcare and the finance industry, and now they are using this event to advance gun control laws and censor talk radio.

Right wingers? I'm a registered independent. I'd like to vote democrat but unfortunately that party has been hijacked by extremists like yourself, Pelosi and Reid. Any moderate democrats have sadly been silenced by whack jobs like yourself.

Let me walk you through doing diligent research. Take one of the quotes and type it into Google. It will confirm whether it was said or not.

Do you think I care? I'll put it nicely; ever since that George Washington debacle of yours, you've been nothing but a running joke for me. Just a stupid and misinformed far-left extremist who doesn't know dick and who also can't admit he's wrong.

You're good for the comedy, though.

Obama: ‘If They Bring a Knife to the Fight, We Bring a Gun’.
Article Comments (251) Washington Wire HOME   By WSJ Staff



[Editor's note: This blog post was published in 2008. In the wake of Saturday’s shooting rampage in Tucson, Ariz., a number of lawmakers and others have called for toning down the political rhetoric and President Barack Obama led a moment of silence this morning for the victims. Click here and here for more. Also, check back with Washington Wire for updates.]

Amy Chozick reports on the presidential race from Philadelphia.

Mobster wisdom tells us never to bring a knife to a gun fight. But what does political wisdom say about bringing a gun to a knife fight?

That’s exactly what Barack Obama said he would do to counter Republican attacks “If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun,” Obama said at a Philadelphia fundraiser Friday night. “Because from what I understand folks in Philly like a good brawl. I’ve seen Eagles fans.”



Sen. Barack Obama talks at a town hall meeting at Radnor Middle School in Wayne, Pa., Saturday, June 14. (AP)The comment drew some laughs and applause. But it also struck a chord with his Republican rival. John McCain’s campaign immediately accused the Democratic candidate of playing the politics of fear. They also mentioned that Obama said he would use a gun that would be illegal under Obama’s plans to cut down on illegal firearms.

“Barack Obama’s call for ‘new politics’ is officially over. In just 24 hours, Barack Obama attacked one of America’s pioneering women CEOs, rejected a series of joint bipartisan town halls, and said that if there’s a political knife fight, he’d bring a gun,” McCain campaign spokesman Tucker Bounds said in a statement.

Obama made the comment in the context of warning donors that the general election campaign against McCain could get ugly. “They’re going to try to scare people. They’re going to try to say that ‘that Obama is a scary guy,’” he said. A supporter yelled out a deep accented “Don’t give in!”

“I won’t but that sounded pretty scary. You’re a tough guy,” Obama said.

I tried to verify one quote:  “I am going to strangle all Republicans who don’t agree with me politically”

and all I can find is that same list on various right wing sites.  No source to the actual quote.

Pelosi, Rahm do not scare Rep. DeFazio
By Walter Alarkon - 12/18/09 06:00 AM ET
www.thehill.com



http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:Ptd5HCNQ-_AJ:thehill.com/homenews/house/72889-pelosi-rahm-do-not-scare-rep-defazio%20Pelosi,%20Rahm%20do%20not%20scare%20Rep.%20DeFazio&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us


Rep. Peter DeFazio’s phone rang. On the other end was Rahm Emanuel.

________________________ ________________________ _______________________

The White House chief of staff last month expressed frustration with DeFazio’s resignation calls for President Barack Obama’s top two economic aides — Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner and White House chief economist Larry Summers — and appealed for cooperation, according to DeFazio.

But Emanuel, known for his blunt manner and ability to bend members of his party to his will, did not raise his voice with the Oregon Democrat.

“Rahm does not yell at me,” DeFazio said, “because he knows that I yell back.”

Others are learning that DeFazio, who has served in the House since 1987 and describes himself as a “progressive populist,” is not easily intimidated. He has emerged in recent months as one of the most vocal liberal critics of the Obama administration, blasting the president’s team for not getting tough enough with Wall Street. He’s also taken on his own party for failing to move left-leaning legislation through the Congress.

Personal calls from Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and former Vice President Al Gore couldn’t persuade him to vote for the Speaker’s climate change bill. He also opposed the $787 billion stimulus, citing concerns that only 7 percent was devoted to infrastructure spending.

DeFazio was one of only two Democrats to vote against those measures and the $700 billion bank bailout. (The other was Rep. Gene Taylor (D-Miss.) a Blue Dog conservative.)

Yet he’s also a pro-gun Democrat who has a B rating from the National Rifle Association.

“I would have less of a voice and I would have less respect if I voted for things I didn’t believe in because of pressure from the leadership,” DeFazio told The Hill in an interview.

Obama himself has taken notice.

“Don’t think we’re not keeping score, brother,” Obama told DeFazio during a closed-door meeting of the House Democratic Caucus, according to members afterward.[/b]

But poking a stick at those in power is what DeFazio does.

He gives partial credit for his special brand of liberalism to having worked at a country club as a teenager. Each summer, his father ran a camp for troubled inner-city kids on Cape Cod, where they caddied for golfers at a country club. DeFazio would work alongside the kids.

“They were servants for the rich, as was I,” he said. “I shagged golf balls for rich people. I carried golf clubs for rich people, and I learned very early on, when I was pretty young, that this was a group of people that had nothing special to offer to me or to society.”

His populism has played well back home. DeFazio won his 2008 election with 82 percent of the vote, even though his district isn’t overwhelmingly Democratic. Obama won it by 11 percentage points, but President George W. Bush won nearly as many votes as Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) in 2004.

“He is incredibly popular in a district that is actually somewhat difficult for a Democrat,” said Rep. David Wu (D-Ore.), who says DeFazio does it by standing up for his beliefs.

DeFazio has been a leading liberal voice complaining that the Democratic Congress and White House have failed to capitalize on significant victories in last year’s elections. His latest target is the Senate, where he says Democrats’ struggle to move healthcare legislation is preventing the Congress from sending a job-creation bill to the president’s desk. With the unemployment rate at 10 percent, House Democrats see jobs as the No. 1 campaign issue heading into the midterm election year.

“It’s just incredible frustration,” DeFazio said. “The killing ground of the Senate is ultimately, potentially, the killing ground of the Democratic Party.”

DeFazio and other House Democrats led what he called a “revolt” at a caucus meeting several weeks ago. Though Democratic leaders called the meeting to discuss the president’s decision to send 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan, rank-and-file members began talking instead about jobs.

DeFazio stood up and called for attaching a new job-creation bill to the annual defense-spending measure, which typically gets bipartisan support and is considered must-pass legislation. His speech and others in favor of a new jobs bill drew cheers from colleagues, said House Democratic Caucus Chairman John Larson (Conn.).

DeFazio has spent most of his time over the past year pushing for the $500 billion, six-year transportation reauthorization bill. DeFazio, the chairman of the House Highways and Transit subcommittee, has argued infrastructure could lead to far more jobs and have a much more lasting impact than tax cuts or other stimulus spending. While Pelosi has thrown her support behind the bill, sponsored by House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman Jim Oberstar (D-Minn.), the Senate and the White House, reluctant to raise the gas tax or other levies to pay for the bill, have said that it should be taken up next year.


DeFazio wants to tax Wall Street to help pay for the programs. Specifically, he wants a tax on financial transactions, which economists have said could generate $150 billion. Though Geithner has opposed it, DeFazio is holding out hope that Obama will find ways to get tougher on Wall Street.

He praised the president this week for dialing up his criticism of Wall Street bankers and the bonuses they’re expected to receive, just months after receiving billions in federal bailout dollars.

“That was one good speech by the president, but he’s got to mean it, he’s got to live it, he’s got to do it every day,” DeFazio said. “And these are tough people; these are the most powerful people in the world. They seem to control a majority of his economic team.”

While Pelosi has thrown her support behind the bill, sponsored by House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman Jim Oberstar (D-Minn.), the Senate and the White House, reluctant to raise the gas tax or other levies to pay for the bill, have said that it should be taken up next year.


DeFazio wants to tax Wall Street to help pay for the programs. Specifically, he wants a tax on financial transactions, which economists have said could generate $150 billion. Though Geithner has opposed it, DeFazio is holding out hope that Obama will find ways to get tougher on Wall Street.

He praised the president this week for dialing up his criticism of Wall Street bankers and the bonuses they’re expected to receive, just months after receiving billions in federal bailout dollars.

“That was one good speech by the president, but he’s got to mean it, he’s got to live it, he’s got to do it every day,” DeFazio said. “And these are tough people; these are the most powerful people in the world. They seem to control a majority of his economic team.”

Why are the right wingers in such 'panic' mode right now?   ???

Oh wait it has something to do with Palin posting gun sights on a candidate that actually gets shot.  I get it, protecting Palin.  Pretty pathetic really.

I just found it on the Daily Kos (a left-wing site) within 10 seconds of Googling it. Try harder.

cool - why didn't you post the link

Like I already said - I can find the list on MANY different sites

what I can't find is the source of for specific quotes.

I pulled the Biden quote because it seems outrageous and should be easy to find

I can't find it but if you can why don't you do me a favor and post a link

Yet he’s also a pro-gun Democrat who has a B rating from the National Rifle Association.

“I would have less of a voice and I would have less respect if I voted for things I didn’t believe in because of pressure from the leadership,” DeFazio told The Hill in an interview.

Obama himself has taken notice.

“Don’t think we’re not keeping score, brother,” Obama told DeFazio during a closed-door meeting of the House Democratic Caucus, according to members afterward.[/b]

Why didn't I? Because I'm enjoying myself more watching you flail around like a moron trying to build a case for me falsifying these quotes.

Carry on looking for the "doison" websites out there.  :-X

You seem to think that you're some sort of celebrity on here. Most people do their own research when they want to refute someone. Are you special? I know you're "special" but I'm curious if you feel the same way.

333 has been proving that they're all legitimate. How about you prove that they're not.  :)

He's being nice doing the research you should be doing. I'm not going to do the same.

James Carville Hints at Riots If Obama Loses Election
Newsbusters ^


Posted on Monday, January 10, 2011 5:33:58 PM

In last night's post-debate analysis on CNN's Anderson Cooper 360, James Carville proclaimed that Barack Obama will be the slam dunk winner of the election in November. However, he followed up by hinting at riots if Obama were to lose. Here is the transcript of the discussion. First David Gergen keeps bringing up the race factor as an excuse for a possible Obama loss (emphasis mine):

Democratic Congressman on GOP Gov. Rick Scott: 'They ought to put him against a wall and shoot him.'
[/color]

________________________ ______________________


While Paul Krugman and other liberal commentators continue to exploit this weekend's tragedy by making hay out of supposedly extreme rhetoric on the right, perhaps they would do well to examine some of the rhetoric that has come from the left. On October 23, The Scranton Times reported that Rep. Paul Kanjorski, D-Pa., said this about Florida's new Republican Governor Rick Scott:

"That Scott down there that's running for governor of Florida," Mr. Kanjorski said. "Instead of running for governor of Florida, they ought to have him and shoot him. Put him against the wall and shoot him. He stole billions of dollars from the United States government and he's running for governor of Florida. He's a millionaire and a billionaire. He's no hero. He's a damn crook. It's just we don't prosecute big crooks."

Kanjorski did not win reelection in November. Perhaps the former Congressman was not sincere when he suggested Scott be shot, nonetheless this remark is a far more literal and explict call to violence than the relatively benign (and bipartisan) matter of putting than targets on a map. Yet, Kanjorski's remarks were virtually ignored at the time. One wonders what the reaction would have been if a Republican congressman had called for a Democrat to be put against a wall and shot. I very much doubt it would have been dismissed by Democrats and the national media.

Somebody wrote that "we're in panic mode"...no I think its the fact that as a Conservative...I'[m done with the " high road" bullshit. You Dems use everything as political hay..the tea partiers scared you all because they're not going to let you off the hook. Palin scares you because she attacks the stupidity and anti-Americanism of the extreme Left...which appears to control the Dem party. I'll say it first....fuck you....the Left will not be let off for trying to tie this to Palin or Vets or immigration reform or Fox News or Talk radio. Obama and his politics have stirred the pot waaaay to much now.

when you hear that quote in context is pretty benign though I think Obama did say later it was a poor choice of to use the word enemy

btw - the quote in the video is also not on the list (don't you check this stuff before you post)

Here's the quote from the list.  You haven't shown a source for this so why are you sourcing quotes that aren't even on the list?

"Republicans are our enemies"--Obama

Tina Brown: GOP Are "Suicide Bombers" In Debt Ceiling Negotiations
(source and story background at The Daily Caller)



BUCHANAN: They’re accommodating him on the spending cuts. They’re going to go – I’m sure Obama has got in there spending cuts that Republicans like – maybe in defense, maybe in things like that. They’ll go along with spending cuts, compromise on that. But they say this is the wrong way to go. We don’t believe in it. We’ve committed against it. We can’t do it. Mr. President, you’re asking us to break our word and do something we think is not going to work and we’re not going to do it, sir.

BROWN: I think frankly the president would have no credibility if he did not demand some –

BUCHANAN: He’s going to demand it, but he’s not going to get it.

BRZEZINSKI: How is that — so I think the, what was the answer to my question that who the hostage take is, Willie [Geist]?

GEIST: Sounds like Pat’s boys. Pat’s boys are holding the hostage.

BROWN: I think they’re the suicide bombers in all of this.

BRZEZINSKI: Oh my.

BUCHANAN: I think they’re standing on principle. They’re doing what they believe is right.

BARNICLE: They are just not serious people on both sides.
