"I Want To Kill You", Should that kind of Message be Allowed?
Sean Hannity, The New Destination of Hate.
I guess we can call Dick Morris his 1st Mate.
Speak truth to power.
Mr. News
Please try "speak rationally" for a change.
"Feel sorry"?
It's got nothing to do with sorrow, and everything to do with concern, concern for the level of anger hatred and violence these people, hannity beck limbaugnh etc, are egging their strange and politically minor following on to, a following too minor to Democratically effect their strange public policy ideas, but not so minor they can't shout and hurl insults and bricks and who knows what next!
And this girl in the video, and her "feel sorry" crap, she and the guy hannity right there with her, are doing nothing but evading any and all responsibility for whatever might happen next, by both minimizing the anger and hatred they are provoking, and then blaming others for it, like beck does, where he keeps talking about being "poked" and prodded and provoked.
It's got nothing to do with "feeling sorry" and everything to do with a genuine and real concern for safety.
I agree, Hannity definitely wouldn't play that audio on his show. He would lose his entire point of downplaying the threats. How people say stuff like this then turn right around and claim to be loyal faithful followers of Christ, I will never understand. Christ facing those who would torture and torment him still wouldn't say stuff like this. Seeing his enemies chop the ear off of his closest follower, he still didn't react like this. Yet, they call themselves being Christ like by doing stuff like this.
moralphobia, however, is rife.
The vandalism began last weekend, when the House debated the health bill for final passage. In Wichita, Kan., someone broke the window of a storefront county Democratic Party headquarters with a brick that had "No to Obama" and "No ObamyCare" written on it. Lyndsey Stauble, executive director of the Sedgwick County Democratic Party, said she came to work Saturday morning to clean up the shattered glass strewn about her desk.
"It was surprising and alarming to know that people, when they have so many opportunities for expression in this country, that somebody would resort to a brick," Stauble said.
Over the next 24 hours, thrown bricks shattered the glass doors and windows of party headquarters from Rochester, N.Y., to Cincinnati. A gas line at the Charlottesville, Va., home of the brother of Rep. Tom Perriello, D-Va., was severed Tuesday after a self-identified tea party activist posted what he believed to be the Virginia Democrat's address on a Web site and urged opponents to "drop by" to convey their opposition to his yes vote on health care.
Rep. Louise Slaughter, D-N.Y., had a brick thrown through her Niagara Falls district office and received a threatening voicemail referencing sniper attacks. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., had the front door to her Tucson district office shattered. Rep. Bart Stupak, D-Mich., whose last-minute negotiations to bar federal funding of abortion helped secure the bill's passage, received a fax with a drawing of a noose and an anonymous voicemail saying, "You're dead. We know where you live. We'll get you."
I wonder how Ms Cupp would feel if any one of these things happened to her or her family. I also wonder if perhaps all the inflammatory rhetoric spewed on the Fox News network 24/7 is monitored by one of those agencies you never hear about.
To see their own push for warrantless wiretapping come back to bite them in their own behinds would be irony in all it's glory.
Talking about over throwing the government could be considered terror talk, no? They've got reason enough to start tapping them RIGHT NOW according to Bush's arguments. All joking aside, even though the media elites aren't being tapped (face it, we all know they aren't going to DO anything, just hope their average joe listeners will do it), the people threatening to come with their rifles if government doesn't do what they want need to be tapped. Alabama militia guy has probably been profiled already. Their next move will be known before they can even think it up. If they actually wanted to hurt somebody, the dumbest thing they could've done was get on tape talking about their rifles are ready. Rifles? Really? To paraphrase OutKast's Babylon: "Hick, they made them gats. They got some sh#t that'll blow out your backs. From where they stay at."
I wonder if Hannity will ever be able to get a right winger to come on his show that has some relevance.
1. If it is happening to someone else, it doesn't matter.
2. Claims of injustice are never true.
3. Anyone who is being treated badly needs to just shut up and take it.
Listen to the rhetoric you hear from the right and you'll be surprised how much of it reduces to these general principles.
Death threats? Why should I care, when I didn't threaten anyone? It's not true that anyone was threatened, anyway. And stop being such crybabies.
Hannity: "More sob stories coming from liberals about being shot at and their cars blown up."

And, second, it's not JUST that these congressmen/women received some voicemails... they also had their offices damaged by pellet guns and bricks, including gas lines cut and vandalizing of a family member of a congressman's home. So, as usual with your lies, you only point out part of the story. You have ZERO sympathy for people who you disagree with, but all the people who are violent, which you claim nobody condones, you still say that you're "glad" they are angry. If I had the chance, I would love to give this broad a piece of my mind. She is simply an abominable person... she wreaks contempt and thinks she is superior to everyone else. And people like her think the liberals are elitists with their higher education? At least, they have something to show for their success and use it towards a career that is productive. You're major doesn't even suit your supposed job.
