I have consistently stated the same that all walks of life engage in distasteful rhetoric at their rallies, but I am not sure that you can differentiate between "We came unarmed [this time]" from "...Kill Bush, Bomb his f___ing House" as not the same.

I hope you would agree that it's pretty much impossible to use a guillotine to attack Mr. Bush. Other props I saw in the pictures (the left protesting against Bush) were equally quite symbolic. On the other hand, a firearm (especially a Glock with a 30-round clip) is an extremely effective tool for an attack. And in same pictures you see references to firearms (by the right).

Wait a minute...i can agree with some of what you are saying to a point. Mind you, you are still splitting hairs over what imagery and rhetoric is worse. It is a fully subjective conclusion you have arrived at, and one that is in contrast to quite a few people's own subjective conclusion.
But what is wrong with a citizen of the US deciding to lawfully and legally practice his right to bear arms?

Where in any of the pictures did you see a Glock with a 30-round clip have you seen? This is what I am fighting against. You have ignored the premise of my argument and have decided willfully to engage ignorant debate.

Yet now you have downgraded the argument otherwise. You specifically pointed out a Glock with a 30-round magazine (which is what the unstable shooter used) to fit your point. I do not understand why some are fighting so hard to make a point that just isn't there.

ModernAcademia. The liberals are desperate because we're kicking their asses out from all over the planet. Liberalism is a mental decease (Scientificaly proven).

I have recently become disgusted more than ever at the liberal media and many liberals, not all, are falling for it.
What they are basically saying is that Jared Loughner is innocent however Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck and every member of the Tea Party are the ones who pulled the trigger.
THIS IS MADNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A woman named Caitie Parker has been tweeting that she went to school with Rep. Gabrielle Giffords' alleged shooter Jared Loughner and that he had met Giffords previously.
"As I knew him he was left wing, quite liberal. & oddly obsessed with the 2012 prophecy."
www.businessinsider.com...
Does the above mean I will turn into a complete idiot and blame the liberal media as if they pulled the trigger?
Perhaps this is a ploy to nationalize media?
Media is too crazy so govt. HAS NO CHOICE but to take over like it's North Korea?
Bill Maher was on Anderson Cooper and said that the shooter spoke of competing currencies and Gold, who else talks about that other than the Tea Party?
That's like saying "Jeff has a beard, Jeff is greek, therefore all greeks have beards"
Everywhere on liberal media they are taking the piss out of this news is the most disgusting way possible!!!
Innocent people died and all they do rather than mourn is use it as a tool for partisan bickering???
When Tea Partiers have banners saying "Take Our Country Back" Liberals completely paint the extreme as if it MUST be a form of a militia rethoric that equates to a call to arms, as opposed to simply voting within a republic and bringing the country back to constitutionalism.
Is that extremism???
This is NOT about a noble act of wanting to tone down rethoric, this is The War On The Tea Party!!!

Nope. It's the truth. It's well known outside the U.S. Liberalism is a mental illness, a mental decease.

Here is the deal and it is easily provable. Liberals are the ones who eschew violence. It is we who are anti-war. We are the ones who defend the little folk who get stomped on by the "system". It is we who still believe that the primary purpose of a free press is to safeguard our democracy by actively investigating and reporting to the public when anyone or any organization is found to be engaging in dishonest or illegal practices. Investigative journalism is what it is called.

The inability for the " left leaning " to comprehend that the very same inflammatory remarks, could and should be used against them. I've reviewed the JPEGS that were input on this thread, Kill Bush, Kill Christians and so forth, and yet those who portray the Demoncrats in the same light, OH now we don't want to address that? There perfect little angels?
Avoidance much?
