Liberals Going Crazy With Talks of Violence Against FoxNews & Republicans.

By
Real Estate Agent with Retired

Last week, liberal talk show host Ed Schultz went ballistic about Fox News. In an address to Netroots Nation Schults said:

And you have no idea, in my bones, in my very soul, in my heart I want to kick Fox's ass. I want to drive them into the ground I want to spike the ball! I want to kick 'em in the teeth on the way back to the huddle, And then I want to turn around and lift my leg on 'em Because that's all they're worth"

Granted, Schultz was also ripping into President Obama for not taking a stronger stand against FoxNews.

And then there was John Cusack, who I really like as an actor, Hot Tub Time Machine, that will be up there with Brando's perfomance in The Godfather, who recently tweeted:

“I AM FOR A SATANIC DEATH CULT CENTER AT FOX NEWS HQ AND OUTSIDE THE OFFICES ORDICK ARMEYAND NEWT GINGRICH-and all the GOP WELFARE FREAKS

I wonder if speaker Pelosi considers this a valid exercise of first ammendment rights, you know, the kind of disruption that she is a fan of.

Or will the mainstream media will treat this the same as the did Sarah Palin, accusing her of inciting violence with the term "target list".

Had Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, Neil Boortz, Jon Voight or any other non-liberal talk show host or celebrity made these comments Katie Currick and the other mainstream media talking heads would have a weeks worth of editorial statements about this, surely with some Tea Party references thrown in with comments about conservatives and guns. People would be calling for their firing from their jobs, for their shows to be boycotted. Or, like in the case of Ernest Borgnine, the L.A. Times called for his S.A.G. award to be revoked.

But with all of the comments about fear of conservative or tea party violence, it has primarily been the left that has been making the threats and even, in several cases such as beating an anti-health care reform attendee at a town hall session in Missouri, acting out the violence.

I wonder if the L.A. Times will say anything about Cusack, or ask for Schultz to be censured.

They will be even more angry when they lose the house and Senate in November

They could say the "N" word, "F" word, threaten to kill someone or whatever else they want because the left wing socialist media programs have a very small audience.

There are SO many examples of hypocrisy and double standards with the liberals and they just can't seem to see it.  What's up with that?

Well, you know they are losing when they result in yelling and name calling and talking violence.

Now, what are they going to say about the environmentalist wacko who took hostages in the Discover building in Silver Spring MD today. 

He was finally shot by a police sharp shooter, thank goodness.

The left is starting to meltdown. It is so much fun to watch. I hope the Republicans do not blow it.

Mike...you make me so glad that I never saw those comments; How ever do any of them explain themselves to their children or grandchildren.  I say, let them rant, roar, ripe out their tonsils over perceived wrongs, misconstrued implications, or a desire to 'enlighten' others; the most of the folks who follow Politics understand blather when they hear it, even when it comes from the side the media loves.  November should be interesting; waiting for this year's October surprise  [already had that 2008 Electronic Run on the banks; don't remember any of 2009 in October workings].  Good points!

I'm melting ... I'm melting ...

I think you have an opinion of me by now, Saunders.  I don't have a whole lot of confidence or respect for either extremes.  It's like telling puke that shit smells bad.  I'll be at the polls once again come time ... cause I've never been polled in the meantime.

What is the stat? 88% of the people in newsrooms supported the Democrats in the last election... financially?  They aren't going to go after 'their people' until it is absolutely unavoidable.

Fox News is an island of sanity in an ocean of liberalism.  Don't these liberal media terminals have enough coverage for their socialist ideology?  NBC, ABC. CBS, CNN, etc.?  They are crazy concerned about little ol' Fox News?  Must be because Fox News is closest to the truth.  People with crimes always try to silence those who speak the truth.

E&C - sometimes it appears that they have gotten more angry since they won the 2008 election

Will - it doesn't matter how minor a conservative or libertarian is when they say or do something offensive, it is all over the major/unwatched media.

Vicki - it is of course a self proclaimed unbiased media

William - but they did the same when winning

Lenn - I am sure that there will be some right wing spin to that, just like with the guy who crashed his plane into the IRS in Texas

Brian - I am sure that the republicans are fully capable of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory

Barb & Sal - sometimes I think liberals fell that Erich Segal's line ".....means never having to say you're sorry." really applies to what they say

Sardi - you mean you have never been polled like a hereford?

Lane - you may be right, but there have been some signs

Michael - Fox has its problems too, but, for the most part, it is probably the least biased in what it covers

I'm sure the L.A. Times and others will return to being free speech advocates for this true "hate speech".

My Barbados sheep is polled too. lol.

I used to like John Cussack. It's sad to see he's so hateful. Serendipity is one of my favorite movies. Oh well, I guess i can still like his movies even if i don't like him personally. That is the problem with celebs voicing their opinion. They might just lose their audience and start to lose money at the box office. The Dixie Chicks come to mind on that one. I wouldn't buy their albulm to save my soul.

I think it's sad to see the media being so biased. It's not what journalism is supposed to be about. You are right though....a conservative is measured by a different yard stick but that's ok....we can handle it.

The hate speech is incredible.  They would love to get rid of Fox. 

Fox is most definitely getting under their skin.  The more rants I hear about it the more I laugh.

You have a choice, just turn the channel...........

No, Mike, they will not.

Did you hear the woman who called Sean Hannity and said her group knew where he lives and wants to cut his head off?

Jon - quite possibly

Cheri - the Dixie Chicks lost a lot of support because their primary audience leans conservative, or at least not to the left

Melissa - but then who would they bash?

Jay - yes, I did hear that. I hope that call got forwarded to the FBI, it was truly evil.
