"I know that politics, to coin a phrase, ain’t beanbag. Political passions have always run high, and I wouldn’t want to live in a country where public issues and values weren’t vigorously contested. But there is a sharp difference between disputing a view you reject and demonizing someone who holds that view as a murderous enemy. Liberals who loathe the Tea Party have every right to challenge it. But when, in an apoplectic frenzy, they defame its members as “terrorists,” they go way too far, and debase only themselves."
If I was im the mood, which I'm not, I'll bet I could find plenty of instances where the right defamed the left. Why just this last week a republican called Obama a tarbaby......wanna bet there are plenty more?
Have you conservatives turned over a new leaf here and will start being outraged when your own side does it? I think not.
Sometimes I just can't resist following the conservative example and point out the hypocrisy in the other sides outrage.
You keep looking archer, you won't find a president or vice president who ever referred to a massive population of American citizens as terrorists (or anything close)...or as Obama said, "the enemy". You hypocrites cry and wail about the hateful rhetoric, then your best "heavy hitters" go and say the most hateful of all. I could care less what Biden says because he is inept and utterly worthless as a leader, and his and Obama's last days are coming...but not soon enough. You should be proud.
You guys hate Bush so much, he must have been bashing the media that hated him and the left right? Show me the money. I thought if was funny how mr thin skin Obama immediately came out swinging against radio talk show hosts like Limbaugh and Hannity...what a p#ssy.
The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.
I take no offense....they rail at the liberal rhetoric while ignoring the fact that its the truth. When republicans act like thugs they shouldn't be surprised when they are called thugs....when they use terrorist tactics they will be called terrorists.
Their manufactured outrage is proof they know we're right.

There is a big difference when people on forums use hateful or violent rhetoric, it's something completely different when the the president and vice president do it. Am I wrong? (no need to answer....your contadictions are automatic)
