So, here we have a person in "the media", who is actually calling for violence upon someone who doesn't agree with Obama. I suppose there is some rationalized reasons why this isn't bad, representative of Obama supporters and not worth of the news cycle.

Somehow you missed the ones that crawled out from under the McCain "machine"?

Did you drink too much McCain Kool-Aide to notice it? Does your Mcssiah have impunity from scrutiny to you?

You're upset that someone asked for Joe the Plumber to die, but I don't believe I ever saw you post on the threads talking about the people yelling "Death to Obama".

(OMG, did you see the awesome use of buzzwords? I was just like you guys, I wrote like two paragraphs with buzzwords so it looked like I said something with a real opinion, but really I just crapped out of my mouth and didn't say anything at all)

Absolutely not. The host is obviously an idiot.

We don't agree often but I fully agree with you on this.

Just because some blowhard who happens to support one candidate or another spouts some vile crap that does not mean he speaks for the candidate or any of his supporters... he speaks for himself.

If you don't understand that then I can't help you... you are beyond help.

Me personally am so throughly sick of the whole Joe the Plumber crap that I could hurl.

And that is my personal opinion and it is not endorsed by Barack Obama or any of his other supporters.

People like Keith Olberman, Chris Mathews, Wolf Blitzer, Rachel Meadow are the ones that spread this kind of hatred. They call themselves journalist.

Uh, you're missing the point, Sublime. When those threads went up about the "Death to Obama" comment, how many lefties on here made the comment that you "never heard stuff like this from Democrats"? More than a few people!

Of course, those of us with a brain knew this was bunk, but this story is proof that those ignorant people were wrong.

When have they called for any one's deaths? Give me one example from each one or this is an outright lie and you know it.

I said they instill fear and hatred of McCain and Palin. Just like you all accused McCain and Palin of fear mongering, I'm accusing the media and Obama of doing to them. Hence you get radio hosts who think the climate is such that its ok to threaten death on a private citizen, because they disagree with Obama.

Private citizen my ass. McCain and Palin have him at their speeches. He's a politician as much as they are. And McCain supporters have been calling for Obama's death for months now.

So, whats your point? That this is acceptable? People have made movies and T-shirts promoting the death of Bush for years now.

I'm just tired of this idea that the democrats and Obama followers are as clean and pure as the wind driven snow.

Movies supporting the death of Bush? prove it. Also, you're saying its horrible because he's a private citizen. But he's not. He's a politician as much as Obama and McCain. And for some reason it's ok to scream "Lynch Obama!" but this is a crime against humanity? Yeah, no partisanship here...
