VIDEO: The Extreme, Violent Rhetoric Of GOP Lawmakers :

Cantor asserted that no lawmaker “would incite threats.” However, ThinkProgress has compiled a short snapshot of Republican lawmakers speeches to angry tea party crowds throughout the year, using extremely violent rhetoric. The compilation below features Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX), Rep. Joe Barton (R-TX), Rep. Todd Akin (R-MO), Rep. Wally Herger (R-CA), Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN), and King:

MCCAUL: They fought against tyranny and oppressive taxes, do that sound familiar? We’re continuing that revolution right here in Austin, Texas today. Thomas Jefferson said the Tree of Liberty will be fed by the blood of tyrants and patriots. You are the modern day patriots. <...>


* * * * *

BARTON: What are the homeland security people calling us now?

AUDIENCE: Domestic terrorists! Terrorists!

BARTON: Welcome right-wing activists — is that what we are?

AUDIENCE: Extremists!

BARTON: Yeah extreme, well I’m going to get me a button.


* * * * *

AUDIENCE MEMBER: I’m a proud right-wing terrorist. …

HERGER: Amen god bless you, there’s a great American.


* * * * *

BACHMANN: I want people in Minnesota armed and dangerous on this issue of the energy tax because we need to fight back.


* * * * *

KING: If I could start a country with a bunch of people it would be the folks standing out here the last few days. Let’s hope we don’t have to do that. Let’s beat that other side to a pulp. Let’s take them out, let’s chase them down.

Watch it:

3. The fact that members of Congress can get away with this rhetoric is

a sign that the MSM is completely useless. Where the hell is the outrage?

The Media stirs the pot whenever a Democrat makes a gaffe. Violent rhetoric from RW members of Congress is ignored.

4. The corporatemedia is a traitor to their

country. They would have loved to have mcpalin calling the shots now instead of doing a 2 bit gig in Tucson.

I stopped watching them in Nov 2002 when I knew how they made sure bushco won in the midterms.

And, I had only started tuning into cable news in 1999.
