1. I live in Maine

in the north which is conservative. Our online newspaper , the Bangor Daily News , allows us to make comments. There are a lot of efforts being made to paint us with the same broad brush as neocons. It has been said that Obama used the word enemies. I hope the point is being made with the absolute stupidity.

2. I live in Pennsylvania

Today some fool wrote into the paper using a Facebook post ("Kill Bush" which I'm sure was taken down pretty quickly) as equivalent to the toxic hate the Tea Baggers and elected Republican officials have spewed. (i.e. We came unarmed ... this time!)

3. He's right...

The "liberal media" is DESPERATELY looking for "proof" that liberals use violent rhetoric just like conservatives, to show that "both the Left and Right are equally bad" or some such BS. Great video, he's 100% right!
The "liberal" media is doing this for it's moderate/conservative viewers, to assure them that the Left "also uses violent/dangerous rhetoric" just like the Right does. The moderate viewers want to re-assure themselves that both the Left and Right in this nation are evil, and only the center is reasonable, peaceful, and non-violent. The conservative viewers want to use the false equivalency so they can say "well, both sides do it".
It's pathetic, and it needs to stop.
There is no comparison. Leftists don't use gun references daily. Leftists don't call for "Second Amendment remedies". Leftists don't talk about a military coup, violently overthrowing our government, or anything like that. It's all on the Right.
