For some reason I just can't relate to conservatism, with all its dishonesty, arrogance, anti-intellectualism, self-righteousness, and pandering to emotions.
The right-wingers are living proof as to why "my country, right or wrong" is a dangerous philosophy. They consider themselves to be "the good guys" by default, so they think that anything they do to further their cause is justified, even if it's something they would condemn in others.
bachman is something that never stops to amaze me. I've never seen such mix of "blond", "stupid" and "ignorant" in one package. I hope it's not contagious...
This is funny! The left sets the standard after the Tucson shootings, then breaks their own standard and accuses the right of hypocrisy! You just can't make this stuff up! LMAO
@rolling126r During the Tuscon tragedy controversy we on the left criticized both sides. Manchin (D) WVA had an ad of himself shooting a bill. We called him on it. Obama said brig a knife to a gun fight. We called him on it. But Hoffa was clearly talking about voting people (sons of bitches) out. And the reaction of the right has been hypocritical Cosa Nostra rhetoric. You're right. Can't make it up and don't need to so long as the rightwing idiots make it up for us.
@rolling126r BTW, the standard wasn't set by the left after Tuscon. Several of us - including Gifford herself - had been warning that the tea party signs, Palin and Bachmann and Fox News were all being overly inflammatory and incendiary for months prior to Tuscon.
@gamutman You (the left) warning about the rhetoric is you guys setting the standard!! Do you not understand that? people on the right didn't bitch about any of the left's violent rhetoric....but now people on the right can call you out for being hypocrites! Oh, and once again, Obama was there but, according to Jay Carney, didn't here the remarks - kinda reminds me of his Rev.Wright excuse. And the show continues...
@rolling126r If you listen to Hoffa's whole remarks, he says Obama is on the way. I've been to rally's. the headliners show up under guard with entourage in tow just minutes before they begin to speak, and they are usually late and the local speakers talk to fill time. That's what Hoffa was doing. Obama wasn't there yet at the time. But if he had been - so what? Hoffa didn't say anything wrong.
@gamutman Don't get me wrong, I don't think he did either...but if I were in his shoes and represented the side that believes in gun control, make love not war, political correctness, etc., I would think twice about throwing out that kind of rhetoric. Considering that the overwhelming majority of gun owners and those with military experience in the US are conservatives, Junior might should choose his words with more care.
@schizotypalgrasp As a communications major, I disagree. Rhetoric's used to rouse people to take up arms. The Revolution relied on heated rhetoric. The Civil War was a result of charged rhetoric. WWII, Nam, the Iraq invasion all had pop support due to calls to arms. So if metaphors are blurry or inartful enough, they can easily be mistaken (by those predisposed to violence in the first place) for literal. But what Hoffa said was more than sufficiently couched, & the return fire is much worse.
I noticed this also, and commented on WildBillForAmerica's latest video about this incident, of course his minions deny the Fox clip was edited and deny the true context, within an hour of making the comment, I found your video. Good Job.
Obviously, You guys failed to realize that both sides are just as hypocritical as the other... What a bunch of morons.

The comparison isn't an example of irony. It reeks of unfettered, unembarrassed mendacity.

@schizotypalgrasp Maybe. I don't see what inference I could have missed in the words "rhetoric is rhetoric," so it must have been in the second half.
