Really, you are never going to convince Repubs that Repubs play on fear more than Dems. At times, it's tempting to use the same tactics as the Repubs, except that Dems tend not to run as scared as right-wingers.

Now, the infamous Bart Stupak is getting in on the act. Stupak has released a series of offensive voicemails he received after abandoning his "principled" stand against public abortion funding in the health care bill. The contents of these messages are, indeed, venomous and totally inappropriate. The media is eagerly circulating the audio because it fuels their "look out, the crazy wingnuts are gettin' dangerous" narrative.

Curiously, Stupak chose not to make public any of the harassing calls and threats leveled against him waaayyy back when he was still seen as a major obstacle to Obamacare's passage. Even after one report emerged that Stupak was facing relentless intimidation from the Left, there were no breathless bulletins, no public hand-wringing, no front page headlines. Curiouser. Indeed, mere days before his epic cave-job, The Hill reported how Stupak's life had become a "living hell"

The national networks breathlessly lead their shows with 'breaking news' over harassing letters sent to Michelle Bachmann, or talk show hosts, like Boortz or Limbaugh. Hell, it's almost routine.

After fanning the flames of idiot discontent, did anyone ever hear any retractions or corrections by either the media OR the Dems ?

Why would the media or the Democrats issue retractions because the Republican idiots fanned their own discontent? After all, I didn't hear the Democrats screaming that this was "Armageddon", did you?

By the way, the GOP already acknowledged that fear is its big money-raiser. Maybe you missed the memo. You must have been hiding under your bed from the big bad terrorists.

Boehner was talking about the disastrous bill which was signed, and not the phony, trumped up hysteria that the Left ( and the MSM ) were screaming about, at every turn. But way to stay off topic, per usual.

Things got ugly early between the NAACP and Bush the candidate in 2000, when the group ran an anti-Bush ad featuring the daughter of James Byrd Jr., a black Texas man who was tied to a pickup truck and dragged to his death by three white men.

-- the Missouri Democratic Party ran this radio ad: "When you don't vote, you let another church explode. When you don't vote, you allow another cross to burn. When you don't vote, you let another assault wound a brother or sister. When you don't vote, you let the Republicans continue to cut school lunches and Head Start.

No, not exactly. I said it's possible the shouter, in the midst of being overly animated, may have 'sprayed' Cleaver, who walked directly in front of him, but there wasn't any indication that he 'spit' on the Congressman, or that did anything which was premeditated. I don't even know if the man in the hat SAW Cleaver until he was directly in front of him.


See, it's this sort of intentional distortion and misrepresentation of what others say and post on here that makes honest and sincere debate nearly impossible. I never "admitted " any such thing, and yet you felt perfectly fine to lie about my view on this matter.

And as for fundraising, there's no 'fear mongering' in trying to raise awareness and there by support for your side by reporting the truth. Hell, at least the GOP isn't spreading lies and true fear, like the NAACP did , back in 2000.....

I mean come on, the dumb shit just HANDED IT TO HER on a silver platter with his typical GOP overblown stupidity, and "cheerleaders" like these rightwingnut morons in this very thread would skew the vote in her favor as they slime him by mere association.

Dude, that's win-win, innit ?

That's not a bad point, but I think Maddow's got far more power doing what she's doing now. And obviously the right agrees with that assessment, which is why they want her to drop her show(s) and run against Brown. And I kinda wish she would, because I think she'd take him. Hell, if Al Franken could take that dipshit Norm Coleman, I'm betting Rachel would annihilate Brown. But I'd rather have her right where she is, where she can do more good.

Rachel Maddow incites violence
2010 MARCH 26
BY NEWSREAL BLOG
by Tabitha Hale

“Be careful what you wish for – the right to bear arms means that everyone can bear arms.”

“We will be fighting you to the death.”

“I’m so glad that I saw Rachel Maddow. She’s brilliant. She’s absolutely fantastic. And her diagnosis of the ills of the American right are so right on. I mean, basically, what you’re doing is just saying no. You’re like belligerent children. You have no concept of how hard people have worked to get this together, and to make sure that we win. We WILL win, and will continue. That’s why Obama got elected.”

“We are now organized. We will show up at your town meetings, and your town halls, and trust me, it’s a force to be reckoned with.”

Sounds pretty threatening to me… but will Rachel condemn this? I’m sure she won’t. How about any of these phone calls, posted back in August?
