Tolerance vs Intolerance
This is the US map Sarah Palin posted on her Facebook, with crosshairs of a rifle scope over the districts represented by Giffords and 19 other Democrats. According to the unbiased msm, it is this type of “inflammatory rhetoric” that is to be blamed for the shooting of Gifford’s and others.
Let us now have a look at some other examples of how the msm viewed other forms of protest when George Bush was in office.
Fashioned after AP photographer Eddie Adam’s famous Vietnam picture, George Bush’s head is superimposed on Nguyen Van Lem’s head. In this picture, George Bush is ready to meet the same fate as Nguyen Van Lem did. How did the non-biased msm see this?
Artistic.
Crosshairs on a map = Conservatives killing Democrats. George Bush in the crosshairs = non-violent expression of disenfranchisement.
Marketing “Kill Bush” shirts. Just some folk making a few $$ on the Kill Bill theme. No harm, no fowl. Probably capitalists anyway.
Burning Bush in effigy. Americans exercising their right to peacefully protest.
Bush’s head lopped off via guillotine. Artistic expression meant to highlight the anger over the effects of Colonialism in Africa by right-wing Christian heteronormatives, and lack of midnight basketball courts for inner-city youth.
Patriot.
Freedom of the press.
Freedom of expression.
Conservative plant. Peaceful demonstrations.

Is the gentleman who refers to “there house” on his sign the same fellow who spelled it “moran” on another famous sign?
No end to left-wing hypocrisy,is there?
But, as Saul says,”always accuse your enemy of doing what you’re doing”.

To this day, the left doesn’t acknowledge the way they acted during the Bush years.

For 8 years I watched this printed in newspapers, and for 8 years on Tv I watched comedians make jokes at his expense, at his wife and beautiful daughters expense, before that it was Ronald Reagan, now it’s Sarah Palin and looking like it may be Michelle Bachmann’s turn next, all the while the media licks the balls of idiocy revolving around B.Hussien, the Clintonistas, and continually waits to dance with yet another Kennedysque figure, a knight waiting for an undeserved honor.
… How to get a handle on what Big Media is doing here, and has planned?
Andrew Breitbart was speaking last week at some function, and said how he hoped for the complete demise of the MSM and its sad ideals that seek to undermine our freedoms. I think, I’ve had enough of the idiocy too.
Godspeed Andrew Breitbart.

All this comes after a major electoral whipping a mere 2 months ago. Much like spoiled children, libs are lashing out. Their opportunism and manipulation of a tragedy for political gain are not new, however.

It’s the Oka/911 they have been waiting and talking about (I would also include praying, but we all know how adverse libs are when it comes to praying). Unfortunately for them, the facts aren’t playing out the way they thought they would.
