On April 10, Earl Bender, a former Carter Administration Official and current Democrat strategist, appeared on the Ed Schultz Radio Show and said Obama should bash Republicans with baseball bats hoping they’d gain some common sense. Not surprisingly, the fill-in host for Schultz did absolutely nothing in response to the statement.

Bender says around the 2:25 mark:

I think he should pick up a baseball bat and just start bashing them over the head, hoping they’d gain some common sense.

So I guess that Obama speech about being less violent in our speech, confrontational in our style while discussing politics no longer applies (except to Republicans/Conservatives)?

The new “civility”.

Well, how else do you get the 'pubbies attention?

Typical democRATS....bring a baseball bat to a gun fight.

Common sense? Fed. budget is $3.8 trillion and 43% of it will come from borrowed money. A financial disaster lies ahead. What would common sense say to do about it?

Have you seen pix of Brackets throw out the first ball ? He probably would exhibit the same limp-wristedness with a bat. Nothing to fear. Besides, he’ probably use a nerf-bat.

I suppose it COULD be considered ‘civil discourse’ — at least as compared to suggesting that he shove red hot coals up their nostrils and feed them feet first in to wood chippers...

Was Earl on a “Bender” when he said these bizarre remarks? IF so, he would fit right in with the rest of the drunks, incompetents, and general losers who infested what was called the Carter Administration.

Ha!! My thoughts exactly! I would love to see Present Girly Man swing a bat. That would be high comedy!!

Let me go get something before you grab that baseball bat, Bender.

Exactly. I'd be more concerned about Her-well-toned-armedness swinging a lamp than string bean with a bat.
