Democrats threatening people too?
Thats what I just heard on CNN.
They made it sound like its a 'both sides' thing now.

whats going on. I haven't been reading much hear today but that stuck out like a sore thumb. CNN covering for the repugs, but maybe I missed something and the dems are doing the same. but DOUBT IT

1. I want actual examples.
I'm sure they don't have them, but that won't stop the M$M from lying about it.

9. Even if you had examples
they could be hired thugs to perpetrate that they were Dems. It would take a lengthy background check to verify them to be really Dems.

10. I'm afraid this will only get worse.
the rodents are trapped in a corner and are flailing and spitting, the money grubbing slimefucks will do anything to stop any improvement in the middle class and share their ill gotten wealth.

They've been free to rob blindly for so long everything will be put on the line to stop it.

2. Predictable
Just trying to be fair until the next Oklahoma City, then that will be an isolated incident by a lone gunman with mental illness whose cousin's step-dad's sister's husband's daughter-in-law is actually a registered Democrat after all.

4. Shenanigans, IMHO
Cantor called a press conference claiming a window in one of his offices was "shot through". No pictures of the window - Delayed reporting of the incident - Fuzzy timelines

Shenanigans

7. Bullshit!
The corporate hacks need to make their sychophants look good, so they are demeaning the Democrats. Hell, if we were prone to violence, we would have done it years ago. We were just as angry, if not angrier over Bush's 'shock and awe' as the teabaggers are with health insurance reform. Introspective people tend to punish themselves rather than harm others.

8. Well, I know I'm threatening to kick Michele Bachmann's butt...
out of office in November. And I'm going to act on that threat by walking the streets in her district talking up Tarryl Clark. I hope I'll be forgiven in advance for my threat.

16. Yes, proof.
Just like we were demanded to show proof by all the Faux News pundits, Hannity, Beck, O'Lyly, etc.

18. I know. it makes no sense at all. either a false flag op
or a super embellishment of an incident unrelated, by the police/authorities who owe a favor to a pug.

:sarcasm:


:banghead:

I mean, it's obvious that if one group is doing something, that the other side MUST be doing it as well, right? Even without a clear cut reason/motivation for doing so. The Republicans, along with Beck, Limbaugh, Hannity, et. al have worked these teabaggers into a frothing frenzy and now they are lashing out at us with epithets, pictures of crosshairs and calls for activists to "reload" and the only potential example of violence/threats against Republicans comes in the form of a possible gun shot at a window of a Republican leader's campaign consultant- without knowing what exactly happened and whether or not a Democratic activist was actually involved in it. Oh and bunch of reported voicemail and e-mail threats that will probably never get released.

24. The usual Corporate M$M-enabled Bushiganda "squid ink".
The only thing the Repugs have is Cantor, who's police report shows that it wasn't a specific threat at all, the bullet was shot in the air and weakly tapped the window on the way back down.

But CNN, like the rest of the Complicit Corporate M$M, is quickly jumping on it and amplifying the Bushigandists' squid-ink.

27. That's why Republicans have no shame saying anything crazy
They know that Fox News and CNN will cover for them. Otherwise how would you explain to anyone outside the US that we are entering the second decade of the 21st century and teabaggers are considered a relevant group that deserves so much air time from our media without much questioning?

I have stopped watching CNN or going to their website since they played a role in giving air time and legitimacy to swiftboat vets back in 2004. I see that they have not changed a bit since then.

28. I know I shouldn't be watching them. but I can't help it.
Edited on Thu Mar-25-10 04:06 PM by Whisp
it's like a dead dog on the road thing, you just have to look - or at least I do.

Fox News tho, I won't go near, ever. I can't imagine them being much worse tho - maybe in a loud mouth ridiculous way but CNN is more dangerous, imo, because they sometimes 'appear' to be a news station but basically carry the same message Fox does.

oh, and I use CNN as a teaching tool for my daughter. I point out the bullshit and she has learned to be way more astute when listening to any news headlines anywhere. so it serves that purpose for me.
