To all who listened to Rush this morning... yes some of us were brave

this is the lefty wing dramatic call for arms that Rush referred at from Politico.

Some choice quotes

Barack Obama’s Oklahoma City moment

“One of the things I learned from Oklahoma City is not to rush to judgment…We don’t know this Arizona animal’s motive,” said Begala.

“But almost irrespective of that, it wouldn’t hurt for all of us to tone things down a bit - myself included. If the President uses this tragedy to challenge us all to move to higher ground, it would be a welcome message. And if the right tries to demonize him for doing that, they will look small and petty and extreme.”

“As I’ve found out after a year in the White House, changing this type of slash-and-burn politics isn’t easy,” Obama told a crowd of 92,000 at the University of Michigan in May 2010, a speech devoted almost entirely to elevating the tone of political discourse.

“And part of what civility requires is that we recall the simple lesson most of us learned from our parents: Treat others as you would like to be treated, with courtesy and respect.”

Obama is likely to remain relatively cautious about explicitly connecting hate speech and the Arizona killings until much more is known about the motives of the suspected shooter, 22-year-old Jared Lee Loughner, people close to him say.

As you will all note, no unnamed democrat... he wanted to say democRAT, but that be unseemly I guess.

Just some fact checking on El-Rushbo. Silly liberal me, silly.

1. Bush would have already talked about smokin' 'em outta their caves

Right now, this isn't Obama's fight. I feel his handling of things so far has been appropriate, but he's got bigger fish to fry. The issue of the rhetoric that comes from Palin, Limbaugh and the Fox News crew didn't happen overnight and isn't going away any time soon.
