Could the leaders on the Right at least agree on some basic assassination rules?

[yoyossarian]

Please?
I mean, I understand this big push-back occurring in the media right now; they don't
want any culpability coming down on the actual guilty parties, cuz those are their sugar
daddies... yes indeed, I understand the dire need to sweep the whole fucking thing
under the rug as quickly as possible, as an alarming number of hosts and analysts on both
left and right seem to be advocating quite clearly today...
And given that we'll probably not be able to make any real dent in this current
blockade on reality (they do it so well!), I'd like to at least propose a few tweaks
in the rules of this shadow-war being waged upon our own soil these last 20 years.
Like, for instance, whenever Sarah Palin or Rush Limbaugh or Ann Coulter are spewing
their awful poisons over our nations's airwaves, would it be too much to ask 'em to
remind their potential dimwit borderline psycho assassins out there to try to limit
their murderous focus to people of at least 17 or 18 years of age and up?
Please, Rush? Just tell 'em to keep the kids out of it, huh?
No?
Okay, how 'bout 12? Would 12 be a reasonable limit?
What about you, Sarah? Whaddaya say, Mama Bear? You're with me on this one, aren't ya?
No? Shit. That's still too much to ask of yas?
Oh, that's right, I forgot... you guys don't compromise. You don't negotiate with our kind.
You Tea Partiers and Repubs, you're indistinguishable, you're each others' identical evil twins.
You're BOTH the party of No Compromise.
You're BOTH the party of Death To The Other Party.
Okay, never mind. I don't even know why I'm talking to you ghouls. It's like trying to
reason with the devil-dogs from The Omen.
Kill everyone and everything, you fucking lunatics. Kill the environment. Destroy the world.
The well-coiffed and well-fed news-assholes will cover your butts no matter what you do.

1. The craven and bloodthirsty among the right wingers

have no conscience at all. They do not care if children die. "Collateral Damage" was Timothy McVeigh's reasoning there. This is no different. That is how they keep murdering children. They do NOT care.

But, while they are accusing us of violent rhetoric for asking them to please stop slaughtering us, I guess it wouldn't hurt to ask them to stop killing children at least. I doubt it will work, but I agree with the idea of at least trying to ask.

2. Remember when Michelle Malkin deliberately sicced her

brownshirts on Graeme Frost, the little 12-year-old boy severely injured in a terrible car accident, and his family. They started getting stalkers and death threats, just because the boy spoke to Congress when the Dems were trying to keep Bush from vetoing S-CHIP legislation expanding health care for children.

About the threats against the boy, conservative Mark Steyn wrote:

<snip>
The Democrats chose to outsource their airtime to a Seventh Grader. If a political party is desperate enough to send a boy to do a man’s job, then the boy is fair game. As it is, the Dems do enough cynical and opportunist hiding behind biography and identity, and it’s incredibly tedious. And anytime I send my seven-year-old out to argue policy you’re welcome to clobber him, too <emphasis added>.

I don't see the Republicans accepting the idea that children are off limits. They consider them "fair game" if they are in any way associated with Dems or liberals--or even anywhere in the vicinity of Dems or liberals.

3. Yep, that's some pretty stark language there...

They ARE The Party of Death To The Other Party.

It's a real problem. What do you do when your enemies
have revealed themselves again and again as totally
psychotic, paranoid, delusional madmen?

Hard to talk someone down from that sort of perch.

But no one in the media will cop to it, because everything's
going perfectly according to plan...

There's a silent purge going on here in America. They're
going after the usual suspects, the troublemakers:

Educators, scientists, students, readers; long-haired
free-thinkers, pot smokers, intellectuals, anyone at all
soft-spoken, thoughtful, polite or basically nice. And of
course the infirm, which in this case means not only the
sick, the lame and the mentally challenged, but also the poor,
the homeless, anyone who's been through our horrific penal
system.
And anyone who is sexually divergent. Or too foreign. Or just
kinda funny-looking.
Eventually, it'll be anyone who wears glasses.

4. Jesus! I missed this! Thanks for making me aware of it. Here is more on this on DailyKos

They must have dredged pretty deep to come up with something as fecal as Malkin.

5. hey, so there's a little "collateral damage"......

......"whenever Sarah Palin or Rush Limbaugh or Ann Coulter are spewing
their awful poisons over our nations's airwaves, would it be too much to ask 'em to
remind their potential dimwit borderline psycho assassins out there to try to limit
their murderous focus to people of at least 17 or 18 years of age and up?"

.....doesn't seem like an unreasonable request....

6. This is how pat robertson once justified the murder of -certain- children...

God told the Israelites to kill them all: men, women and children; to destroy them. And that seems like a terrible thing to do. Is it or isn't it? Well, let us assume that there were two thousand of them or ten thousand of them living in the land, or whatever number, I don't have the exact number, but pick a number. And God said, "Kill them all." Well, that would seem hard, wouldn't it? But that would be 10,000 people who probably would go to hell. But if they stayed and reproduced, in thirty, forty or fifty or sixty or a hundred more years there could conceivably be ... ten thousand would grow to a hundred, a hundred thousand conceivably could grow to a million, and there would be a million people who would have to spend an eternity in Hell! And it is far more merciful to take away a few than to see in the future a hundred years down the road, and say, "Well, I'll have to take away a million people, that will be forever apart from God because the abomination is there." It's like a contagion. God saw that there was no cure for it. It wasn't going to change, and all they would do is cause trouble for the Israelites and pull the Israelites away from God and prevent the truth of God from reaching the earth. And so God in love -- and that was a loving thing -- took away a small number that he might not have to take away a large number.

You see? As someone posted at palin's FB page, that little girl was going to grow up to be a LIBERAL!!!!!!!

So, according to the good reverend's, uh, logic, better to kill her now before she reproduces and creates a larger number that GAWD! in His loving mercy, will have to kill later.

Make sense?

9. Killin' 'em for their own good... how very very HELPFUL of Robertson!

Here's another one, Pat, a PERFECT, IRON-CLAD excuse for MURDER:

They were gonna die anyway, someday... all of them.
I mean, that's absolutely, verifiably true; so how can ya argue with it?

In fact, that's true of ALL people, and indeed, ALL KIDS...

So go for it, Righties! Onward, Christian soldiers!
And remember what your One True God said:
"KILL "EM ALL! SNORT! SNARK! GRAHHH! URRGGHHH! BLOOD! MORE BLOOD! AAARRRRRGHH!"

Hey, Pat! Your "god" sounds like a psychotic imbecile; he sounds like Sarah Freakin' Palin, fer cryin' out loud!

No wonder you're all nuts; the "god" you worship is a blood-swilling MONSTER from outer space!
Just sayin'...

10. robertson is one of those who gives Christians a bad name...

and he does it in the name of Christ.

he is a snake of snake-oil salesmen.
