The other right-wing media mogul you should worry about
Palin's book and Obama's bow: a media week to forget
Media Matters: The Palin chronicles
The dimwitted parents would be happy and after 10 minutes of listening to Rush, the kids would vote Democratic for the rest of their lives.
If they survive that long.
It's racism. The Rethugs don't want their children to see a rational, well-spoken black man. If it's not racism, then what is it?
Questioning everything the first African American president does, his American-ness, faking a Kenyan birth certificate, describing him as a thug, believing he's a Muslim (or Muslin), pundits assuming everybody who voted for him did so only because he's black, none of these things can possibly have any element of racism, because the N word is never said out loud.
Noticing these things, though, is racist.
And whenever racism (the elephant in the room, as Johnnr2 called it above) is mentioned, the same handful of racism-hating right wing posters (who have told everybody very clearly that they're not racist) will pop up to call out these lefty racists for daring to notice any overt or covert racism.
The people on the radio and tv spend a lot of time and effort placating their slow-witted wingnuts by explaining to them that racism can't exist without blatant racial slurs. Do you understand how upsetting that must be to have the lights turned onto that thing that they've been trained to not see?
Joe does this alot on his show. He agrees then disagrees, but at least he the one in a many of people who thinks what Obama is doing is great.
Anyone with common sense would know that the Republicans have done enough damage to last a life-time.
With their childish behavior Republicans should NEVER, I repeat, NEVER hold a position of power again.
They have taken their nonsense to the highest level of hate possible. The next step is calling Obama the N-word or just putting a bounty on his head.
We cannot forget that one of those nice "republicans" murdered Dr. Tiller. They are well aware that Billy Joe Bob Johnson may want to be a hero for the PARTY and take a shot at the President or someone in a lofty position.
I wonder how the Limbaughs' or Hannitys' of the world would like to hear on the radio and TV on a daily basis that they must be stopped by going after their advertisers..when that doesn't work, their heads on a platter but only by a stealthy inferrence.
If something terrible happens to this President, Limbaugh and the gang will have to go into hiding. Do they think that "libs" are so cowardly that they won't go after them.
For heavens sake Rush et al., please think about what you are doing. If you feel you are doing it for America, not money HA!,t if something happens, there is an ultra-left that may visit you. If you need to use hate to incite people, you have lost the battle and the morals of the GOP.
And America will fail but not due to Obama, but because of your hate.
As for what I said, it made perfect sense. If you're going to criticize people for attributing motives, then don't do it yourself. I don't see what's unclear about that.
I'll say again, you are no conservative. Hatred, ridicule and racism isn't conservatism. You're just a Fox junkie. There is NO conservatism on Fox.
Jefferson's original quote spoke of watering with the blood of tyrants and patriots. Which do you think the coward with the gun meant?
Yet people like yourself defend these idiots.
You are defending the "so-called 'hate talk radio.'" They are hate talk radio. They spew hatred non-stop. They encourage people who are crazy enough to show up with a gun and T-shirt IDENTICAL to the one that Timothy McVeigh was wearing when he was picked up following the OKC bombing.
Well done.
I'll bet you were really something when you were in third grade.
Sorry, I just had to beat ETRW to that one.
And I'm saying that the cowardly gun zealot implied that President Obama is either a tyrant or a patriot. I'm assuming the guy's not a leftist and that he wasn't implying that the president is a patriot.
Martyrdom is a wholly owned subsidiary of the nutjobs. Try again.
I'm PRAYING that he's not harmed and that advertisers will stop advertising on the hate channels . . . disagreement is one thing. Inciting violence is something completely different.
And, I'll head you off at the pass . . . I'm no more a liberal than you are a conservative. Just because you hate Obama doesn't mean you are a conservative.
Oh, man. This is what has become of the once conservative movement. First, you attack the left for crying racism (which I would not always diagree with - I do not always see racism in all the places the left does) but then you go on to accuse them of inciting murder. You think the left has gone too far when they accuse the right of racism, but you accusing them of wanting Obama attacked violently is not too far? Since, you decry their use of racism for lack of evidence (even though we all know that racism is never that simple) please show us your evidence that the left wants Obama violently attacked. I am sure you have this evidence, otherwise you would just be a partisan hack not worth anyone's time. Right?

Great link! That's pretty funny.
While I'm not the kind of guy who believes outlandish rumors, I've got to wonder why Beck hasn't denied this yet.
The case is as neatly tied up as any of the theories that Glenn spins nightly, so I'm now asking myself, could the rumors be true?
(Rad just the words in caps to see the craftily concealed accusation hidden in this innocent-looking statement. It's about time we on the left became masters of innuendo, like those subtle hate radio guys on the right.)
PS: Quite a few visitors to the GLEN BECK RAPED AND MURDERED A GIRL website appear to have missed it's satirical intent...amazing!
