To Limbaugh, who called sites like DU 'insane' and wondered how Bush and Palin can still be alive...
Simple, we liberals dont' rely on violence to solve issues.

I'm sure many DUers are gun owners but rarely do they need to use their guns to express emotions. We're intelligent enough to use our brains and logic instead. Leave the guns at home, with the safety on and locked away somewhere so small children cannot get to them.

Killing people like Bush or Palin would not solve any problems, they would just be replaced by others just like them. Using our brains to talk about the issues to those who are undecided or questioning the rhetoric of what people like Bush, Palin and others like them say = that is what we do.

We use our brains first unlike your team which still thinks violence solves everything.

1. Incredible comment from Limbaugh.
How can he be serious? How did we get from being tree-huggers to bleeding heart liberals to suddenly getting pegged as trigger happy loons like the gun nutters who watch his show?

Major disconnect there.

2. While we use our brains first,
at some point we're going to need to fight back, or this country will turn into Rwanda

3. Pretty much all the the unhinged people are on the right for a reason.
You'd have to be unhinged to listen to the likes of Limbaugh and Beck or the rest of their ilk.

4. Rush, we shoot with our mouths, not with guns.

5. Hey, you amoral sociopathic shitstains--
--Bush and Palin are still alive because no one on DU or any other liberal site has ever advocated assassinating them. We do wish they'd get trotted off to the Hague, though.

6. Both Bush and Palin are a complete waste of lead - why bother threatening them?

7. Generally when you kill a tyrant
someone 10 times worst comes to power. If someone had killed Bush, Cheney would have been president, if someone killed Palin her fanatical followers would start killing people at random who they think are liberals, or gays or anything else they think they hate.

8. Comments advocating violence are usually by trolls and always deleted ASAP.
The mods here do a good job of keeping this site violence-free. To characterize DU as inciting violence is a bullshit lie.

9. The truth means nothing to OxyRush
He thinks nothing of telling flat-out lies about anything he does not agree with.

I've been on this site for two years and have never seen any posts inciting violence. The same cannot be said for right-wing hate sites.
