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.
