Have you noticed that whenever the repugnant behavior going

[babylonsister]

on now by the teabaggers is brought up, rather than condemning it, most rethugs take this tact:

"well, they did it, too" Whaaa! except there aren't too many examples to point to. Case in point, Scabby.

Scarborough: Threats against Dems are "bad," but "I never hear these stories when it's Republicans receiving the threats"

[my2sense]

1. I can't watch rethuglicans this early in the morning

He gets on my nerves as much at Pat Buchanan. They are disgusting.

I don't ever expect them to take responsibility for their actions. It's too much like right.

8. I fell asleep watching countdown ...

Turned the tube on at 6:10is this morning and heard Scab doing the poor me, liberal media BS noted in the OP...

"You NEVER hear this stuff when democrats do it, I am confused ..." in that huffy, red faced about to kill an intern rage he enters into whenever the GOP's lunacy is noted ...

Mike Barnacle, doing the bit of the enabler and sackless piece of crape MSMer ... Nods subserviantly to Scab ...

"Well, both sides do it, you know. What we have is for the last 10 years, we as a society have devolved to the point where people yell at waitresses ..."

Scab, having been absolved of responsibility breathes a deep sigh of relief ...

Mica nods lovingly ...

30 seconds later, after the sheeple are even dumber than they had been 30 seconds earlier, I turn the freak show off ...

2. The equivalence canard is standard with them.

[iwillalwayswonderwhy]

3. Hmmm...I'm seeing a lot of "we're being framed" suggestions

The democrats are faking these threats and doing it to themselves to frame the teabaggers.

And then the mind twisting, "but even if they aren't, it's their fault anyway for forcing us to go to extremes."

[babylonsister]

6. See what I mean? They take ZERO responsibility, but are great

at coming up with ridiculous reasoning.

[iwillalwayswonderwhy]

9. Yep, indeed.

I've also read that we are being scared little pussies and quaking at name-calling.

RELOAD? For God's sake, RELOAD? Crosshairs?

They are flailing and sputtering, and what really has them so angry is that they are not in power.

I hope we all remember this.

4. GrandPa was on 'The Toady Show' this a.m. and it appeared

he was trying to suppress a smile while "condemning" those acts.

I turned it off before their feature on Palin.

5. Defending this crap is not possible.

[babylonsister]

7. Denouncing it is, but that never seems to occur to them. nt

[OneGrassRoot]

10. I'm thinking we may not need to do anything....

There are several articles about teabaggers turning on their "leaders" -- they're going after Dick Armey, Sean Hannity. They're turning on any Republican who doesn't applaud their violent hatred.

Fox News, Rush, Palin, politicians...I'm hoping it's merely a matter of time before the monster they created turns on them all.

Let them tear one another apart. We'll continue with the business of PROGRESS.

[lunatica]

11. I've noticed the Republicans first sympathise with the teabagger then condemn

actions. "Well they're rightfully angry, but there's no reason for violence"

This is pure cowardice because they see what's happening to Stupak who is anti-abortion. They know the teabaggers will turn on them in a nanosecond if they deviate even a little. I wonder if they're realizing they've created a monster yet.

[GoCubsGo]

13. I think they know.

They're egging on the monster, so when we get another Oklahoma City bombing-type event, they'll be able say, "Look! When the Democrat party is in charge, see what it gets us? They can't govern. We'll keep you safe."

[GoCubsGo]

12. Even more disturbing....

They're also using the excuse that "They're acting violent because the Democrats are making them do it though their actions." So, it's the Democrats' fault they can't behave in a civilized manner??? In other words, these violent teabaggers have no self-control? I guess that's not surprising, considering most of those idiots can't think for themselves in the first place.

I would like for Scab and the rest of them to be forced to cite examples of Republicans receiving threats. And, none of this "Unibomber" bullshit that assclown Ishtook spewed last night on "The Ed Show." The Unibomber? Was he fucking kidding? That's the best he could do???

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

14. Joe inadvertently makes an interesting point....

Eight years of Bush -- and look at what happened during those eight years -- and nobody ever tried to assassinate the guy. Ever.

Obama hadn't even been sworn in yet and they were arresting people -- remember the two knuckle-draggers from Tennessee.

[still_one]

15. another one is the repukes start by saying people are frustrated, but violence is not the way

in other words, they first excuse the behavior, then say they should not do it, without really condemning it

Madow discussed this on her show yesterday
