Coulter, Megyn Kelly Rip Liberal Hypocrisy: Cruz Gun Photo OK, Palin Crosshairs Evil?
Mediaite ^ | 6/22/15 | Josh Feldman

Posted on 06/23/2015 2:09:51 AM PDT by markomalley

Ann Coulter and Megyn Kelly found there to be lots of liberal hypocrisy in how the Associated Press didn’t see much wrong with photos showing a gun on a poster pointing right at Ted Cruz‘s face.

Coulter said the AP is “insulting our intelligence” by saying it wasn’t intentional when they clearly wouldn’t have done the same to a Democrat. She went off a little on liberals being obsessed about racism.

Kelly brought up the infamous liberal media outrage about Sarah Palin‘s “crosshairs” graphic for members of Congress to take out. One of them was Gabrielle Giffords, and after she was shot people raised eyebrows at Palin’s graphic.

Kelly wondered if there would be “similar outrage” if anything happened to Cruz. Coulter seriously doubted it, said President Obama doesn’t get more threats than other presidents, and concluded that liberals should “back off on the hysteria about America being a racist country.”

Watch the video below, via Fox News:

I'd do the obvious contrast (Cruz with a gun to his head vs Øbama with halo), but the Cruz pic is an AP pic and is not to be posted...

I noticed Carolyn McCarthy was on the list. I thought she would be a big time folk hero to those people because of her push for gun control in the wake of the Long Island train shooting, as opposed to being targeted for being primaried. In any event, all of this shows once again is that the left can do or say whatever they please at any time. Rules are only for peons.

Ad-block plus is a beautiful thing. I never once noticed an ad on that site.

Should conservatives have even let their goats be gotten by this juvenile snicker from the left. Let lefties post all the copies of the “gun in Cruz’s face” news photo they want. Not getting any reaction from the right, no “oh dear, this is so unfair,” would quickly quash the lefty joy.

I remember CBS's "SNIPERS WANTED" crawl while broadcasting a video of George W. Bush speaking. I guess that "clever" bit of expressing opinion inspired more "creative and wonderful" ways for the liberals to express their feeeeeeeeeelings.

It's not really hypocrisy that they rail against others for anything even remotely resembling such hate.. they really believe it's OK for them to do it.

The demonicrats and the fifth-column media are hell-spawned traitors. They promote and glorify the slaughter of unborn children. Their words and actions toward the destruction of the U.S. should be no surprise.

In the meantime, the GOP-controlled Congress does.... nothing.

RE: The demonicrats and the fifth-column media are hell-spawned traitors . . . the GOP-controlled Congress does.... nothing."

That reminds me.

They hijacked the now defunct Democratic Party in the 1970s. The new party consists of the aged 1960s Marxist-Alinsky campus radical, psycho spoiled brats and their bratty ideological litter. The fault is ours. Abe will explain from "the other side."

You initiated a policy to tolerate the Marxist-Alinsky radicals and let them rant; not only has it not ceased but was constantly augmented by decades of infiltration and indoctrination. You now have two Americas. In my opinion, it will not cease until a crisis shall have been reached and passed. A house divided against itself cannot stand. I believe this government cannot endure, permanently, half statist and half free; I do not expect the house to fall; but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing, or all the other.

Both sides play the game and both sides act outraged when it's their guy being targeted.

The division between right and left in America has steadily deteriorated to the point we find ourselves in today.

I think ultimately the country is going to break into several independent states similar to what happened in the Soviet Union.

It'll be something to watch.

"Kelly brought up the infamous liberal media outrage about Sarah Palin‘s “crosshairs” graphic for members of Congress to take out. One of them was Gabrielle Giffords, and after she was shot people raised eyebrows at Palin’s graphic.'

Really? Still an issue? How many times and how many people, including me, know that those were registration marks and not gun sights? I remember as a kid buying flat cardboard toys to build houses or airplanes. In addition to the dotted lines as where to fold, they had the same registration marks to align the fold. Sheesh, have any of these people actually looked through a telescopic gun site? The lines don't go outside of the scope's circle.

Yes but their side includes the MSM employees.. all the general public has to do is turn on the TV, pick up a newspaper, or look at news on the 'Net.

For the general public to see our side they'd have to know where to look other than the aforementioned sources.
