[...one of his Bush-Cheney signs had been pelted with raw eggs. Part of his house was drenched in yolk, too. Soon afterward, someone poured gray paint on a pro-GOP sign. His mailbox has been blown up twice with firecrackers. That was back in 2003 and 2004. Potts now has a heavy-gauge steel mailbox cemented into the ground. Vandals have taken down his American flag three times. Twice it was stolen. A third time the miscreants tore it up and left the shreds in the yard. Another time, Potts said, someone drew a swastika on his white 101st Airborne Division flag emblazoned with the division's screaming eagle symbol. On the flag, the trespasser also wrote, in red, "murderer."]

Last weekend, a Bush hating person tried to convince me that Rush Limbaugh shouldn't be on the air because his program promoted intolerance and encouraged extremists to commit violence against the left. When I told her that Rush takes every possible step make sure that his audience knows that his fight is strictly in "the arena of ideas", she said that didn't matter. she held Rush and other right wing commentators responsible for any violence against the left.

She also excused any left wing commentators from responsibility because "that's different".

Of course it's different. Those people are on HER side.

Hypocrites.

Ask her why the national media was silent on these stories but pushed Bill Clinton's tales of a rash of church fires in the South in the 1990s:

If she says that "Republicans did those things too" then ask her for the citations to the articles. Names, dats, places, charges...

Political correctness sucks. Hating someone's political party is not a "hate crime". You can't hate someone's religious or sexual beliefs but you can hate (and act on that hate) someone's political beliefs.

Political correctness shields the left and criminalizes right wing dissent from the liberal agenda. Go ahead and paint slurs on the home, business, or party office of Republicans. It is "just vandalism". Like "Go Tigers" on the property of the competing school.
