The right-wing echo chamber should not be held responsible

[Jackpine Radical]

for any violence that results from their messages.

Neither should anyone ever be held responsible for any fires started by playing around gasoline with matches. After all, it's the volatility of the gasoline that caused the problem.

1. Yeah, fuck the matches too!

:evilgrin: :toast:

[ChairmanAgnostic]

3. not even the matches, but those little

strips of frictiony sparky thingies.

Sarah, how's that hit listy Reloady thing working out for ya?

[stray cat]

5. "It's the LEFT's fault"

Always has been, always is....well...just because.... :sarcasm:

[tabasco]

6. Yeah, people like this are smart enough to disbelieve propaganda:

7. I always wanted to

I always wanted to yell "FIRE" in a crowded theater and see what happens.

Looks like I got a green light to go out and start conducting some of my well conceived sociology experiments. It should be perfectly acceptable in this era of politicians contemplating "SECOND AMENDMENT SOLUTIONS" openly and in public.

Thanks, Sarah, Glen and Rush!

That classically ignorant remark of Sharon Angle is treason. She was advocating for the violent overthrow of (members of) the U.S. Government. Don't us little people get arrested and jailed for similar remarks in public? Looks like "treason-speak" is now acceptable if it comes from a Tea Party affiliated candidate?
