For all the left wingers out there who assert that figures on the right have called for violence against political opponents (with no legitimate evidence), here is a REAL case of that, except that it comes from a recently-defeated DEMOCRAT congressman. Read it and weap.

Ex-Rep. Paul Kanjorski, D-Pa., pens an op-ed in the New York Times today about the proper political response to this weekend's tragedy. I wholeheartedly support the former Congressman (Kanjorski lost his seat in November) when he argues that, following this weekend's shooting, Congressman need to remain open and accessible to the public. However, Kanjorski is rather hypocritical when he climbs up on his soapbox:

We all lose an element of freedom when security considerations distance public officials from the people. Therefore, it is incumbent on all Americans to create an atmosphere of civility and respect in which political discourse can flow freely, without fear of violent confrontation.

Incumbent on all Americans to create an atmosphere of civility and respect? Congressman heal thyself! Yesterday, I noted that, according to the Scranton Times, Kanjorski said this about Florida's new Republican Governor Rick Scott on October 23:

"That Scott down there that's running for governor of Florida," Mr. Kanjorski said. "Instead of running for governor of Florida, they ought to have him and shoot him. Put him against the wall and shoot him. He stole billions of dollars from the United States government and he's running for governor of Florida. He's a millionaire and a billionaire. He's no hero. He's a damn crook. It's just we don't prosecute big crooks."

I'll give Kanjorski the benefit of the doubt that he did not literally mean Scott schould be killed. Regardless, Kanjorski's way over the rhetorical line compared to the kinds of statements liberals are pointing to as evidence that Sarah Palin and Rush Limbaugh are creating a "climate of hate," to borrow Paul Krugman's phrase. And somehow I doubt that there would have been crickets from the national media if a Republican politician called for a Democratic candidate to be shot barely a week before the election.

It doesn't matter. When you're a Democrat...especially a liberal Democrat...it's different.

Ain't that the damn truth...............

Me thinks all the pro-violence as political answers will abate...for awhile at least. We'll see.

For someone who talks the s$%t you sure don't know s&%t!

RIck Scott is the Governor of Florida.

You know what would be great? If someone posted something here that didn't repeat anybody else's opinion. Originality, anyone?

who'd ya hear that from ??

Right... Not here

The last thing this nation needs is 300 million opinions. Two or three opinions is far more manageable.

Man. If I had a nickel...

How brave of you to finally come forward and admit it. You are ok in my book even if you don't have nipples.

Sure it does. Liberal apologists in the media would never call out a fellow traveler over a comment like that. But let a conservative make a comment like that, and the shrieks of indignation from the liberal media hacks would be heard from the Badlands to the peaks of Everest.

Sorry, Fuzz is too busy getting his panties in a bunch over the fact that right-wing elites want to convice people that keeping their own money is actually a good thing.

We can't have people enjoying the fruits of their labors, now can we?

Bonny Fwank should not be taken out and shot.......


but a life sentence of hard labor sounds about right.
