Maddow airs Beck's poison-in-Pelosi's-wine remarks as example of "assassination ... bubbl[ing] right up to the surface"

Palin's book and Obama's bow: a media week to forget
Media Matters: The Palin chronicles
I used Solon's line. Just because you said it doesn't make it true. Ha! Where is Solon, anyway?
Other than that, I can't name a true 'left' (unless you mean left of Attilla?) commentators
To whom, exactly, do you refer? Someone you say "spews racism and hate" simply because you disagree with the person's beliefs?
This whole town hall protest thing really stinks. I was looking forward to going to a few during the August recess, because I think they're quite interesting. I'm afraid to go now, I'd be too afraid that some lunatic would hurt my guide dog.
We won't even go into the hateful things that were said about the former administration yet that was never a concern that some crazy person was going to hear Olbermann told me to get them!
Liberal politicians made slanderous statements about our military & yet again no one was ever concerned that could some how cause an incident.
Yet if some crazy person goes psycho somehow it's a conservatives fault because they "spoke"
That's just stupid...
There were no WMDs, there were no al Qaeda links to Iraq, there was no help for New Orleans.
There was torture, warrantless wiretapping of the entire nation, firing of justice department officials for political reasons, billions of dollars in graft for Halliburton, and an attempt to use the National Guard to illegally arrest American citizens in New York state.
I'm am not aware of a single slanderous statement made by any liberal politician about our troops. Can you cite any evidence for this?
Conservatives haven't just 'spoken'. They've used incendiary language, comparing health coverage and those who support reform 'Nazis' 'Socialists' 'Communists', and said that they are destroying America. They have called Obama's attempts to fix the vast problems left him by the most inept presidency in the history of this country 'Fascist' and have rooted for his failure.
If you do the research, you will find that Obama has faced more media opposition in six months than Bush II did in eight years. As a whole, the media is center right if not actively conservative, and has been for about 30 years now at least.

Get it, yet? Both sides are using the same type of berating.
It's called a talking point. And funnily enough, both sides now use Nazi remarks.
Get out of the left versus right ideal/paradigm folks. Both sides are playing you for fools. You want change? Stop being Democrats or Republicans and be Americans.
It is seemingly fashionable amoung the NeoConista to throw the label at progressive/liberal/democratic(s). And as a one/two, then complain about the response being unworthy do to the use of such labels.
And Gawd help us if we might be thought to be possibly rude.

Making your friends laugh is always good, Having friends that make you laugh, even better.
Much love to you and thems! :)

These protesters are not Nazis. We know that much, and Pelosi's not stupid to suggest they are. In fact, she never says they are. However, she is pointing out that people are trying to make the connection.
She's not calling out the protesters for being Nazis. She's calling them out for calling Democrats Nazis.
Get it together, man.
A stupid little throwaway joke made (and immediately retracted), and you're devoting posts to it? You must be getting pretty desperate.
Here you go -- remember Al Franken joking about helping Al Qaeda to assassinate President Bush?

Now, did Media Matters and Rachel Maddow happen to comment on that one?
