The Media Research Center released today a list of comments made by members of the media in recent years that call for the death or suffering of conservative leaders. These quotes are evidence of the double standard that certain media exercise in blaming conservatives for the shooting in Tucson, Ariz., while ignoring liberals’ death-wish-like rhetoric against conservatives, said the organization in a press release.
“The so-called ‘news’ media have zero currency in this debate because we have documented the Left using hateful, vicious language far worse than any conservative,” said Brent Bozell, president of the Media Research Center (MRC), a conservative watchdog group. “Their attacks on conservatives are untrue and utterly hypocritical.”
“If they really cared about the effects of political rhetoric, they would have gone after any number of those left-wingers who have directly incited violence — starting with the man with the world’s biggest audience: President Obama,” said Bozell. “After all, he did say, ‘If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun.’”
“But that would be a ridiculous charge,” he continued. “And besides, the media aren’t really concerned about violent rhetoric. This is part of a much more insidious and calculated campaign to criminalize conservative thought.”
Some of these quotes include the following:
“Rush Limbaugh is beginning to look more and more like Mr. Big, and at some point somebody’s going to jam a CO2 pellet into his head and he’s going to explode like a giant blimp. That day may come. Not yet, but we’ll be there to watch.” — Chris Matthews on MSNBC’s Morning Meeting, Oct. 13, 2009.
“So, Michele, slit your wrist! Go ahead! I mean, you know, why not? I mean, if you want to — or, you know, do us all a better thing. Move that knife up about two feet. I mean, start right at the collarbone.” — Montel Williams talking about Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) on Air America’s Montel Across America, Sept. 2, 2009.
“He is an enemy of the country, in my opinion, Dick Cheney is, he is an enemy of the country…. You know, Lord, take him to the Promised Land, will you? See, I don’t even wish the guy goes to Hell, I just want to get him the hell out of here.” — Ed Schultz, The Ed Schultz Show, May 11, 2009.
“I’m waiting for the day when I pick it up, pick up a newspaper or click on the Internet and find out he’s choked to death on his own throat fat or a great big wad of saliva or something, you know, whatever. Go away, Rush, you make me sick!” — Radio host Mike Malloy on the Jan. 4, 2010 Mike Malloy Show.
“I’m just saying if he [Dick Cheney] did die, other people, more people would live. That’s a fact.” — Bill Maher on his HBO show Real Time, Mar. 2, 2007,

The Liberal Leftists are nothing more than pathetic aliens. I do not wish them death. It would be nice if they had some sense and a brain. What do they do with it at night, let it sit in a jar of formaldehyde? They do not like anyone that disagrees with them. There is such a double standard in this country.
"They do not like anyone that disagrees with them."
As you "like" the "pathetic aliens" who lack "sense and a brain"?
Thanks, James.
We can give Obama and his radicals credit for dividing the nation into white/black, dems/conservatives/republicans, pro-constitution/anti-constitution, pro-spending/careful spending, etc. Last summer my husband and I were in a restaurant where a group of age 80+ people were having dinner together. The subject of politics came up and one man said that he had never been so afraid for this country since WWII. The others agreed. It is sad….and since then, I have heard the same statement from other older people who lived through WWII. One person remarked that "America today is too divided to accomplish the "we all work together to defeat the enemy" ethics of the 1940s. The enemy is in the White House!
One positive results of BO's and company's actions are the needed awaking of those in this Nation who for so long had just seem to either enjoy BLISSFUL IGNORANCE or a "I COULD CARE LESS ATTITUDE".
Those of us who are Christian and even some who are "christian in name only" are finally realizing that our Nation is under exponential increasing attack by those who worship themselves and Beelzebub.
Many of us have a choice to made: that as to whom we will serve and to what extent we will risk the potential tragic results, i.e. either choosing to 'go with the multitude' or to stand with Jehovah God, the Farther, Son and Holy Spirit, prepared to suffer the consequences of being true followers of Christ Jesus, praying that we will stand firm in the Lord. Surely tempted to pray a prayer of deliverance from the adversities (PRAYER FOR THE LUCIFER’S Earthly LEGIONS! BO, his czars, his caliphs, his cohorts in congress, each member of his staff & each & every supporter: members in good standing in LUCIFER’S LEGIONS! Psalm 109:8 -18” Let his days be few; and let another take his place, . . . . ” (Let their days be few; and let the worthy replace them, . . . . ) We would do infinitely better in constant intercessory prayer for our loved ones and our Nation in particular and the inhabitants of the planet in general!

I am no Palinite but, this woman can not blow her nose with out being attacked from the far left. As I was watching the parents of the little girl who died this past weekend at her funeral, I thought again how disgusting it is to use the acts of a madman to try to vilify Americans who you happen to disagree with. This country always has had, and I hope always will have, vigorous, passionate political debate. It seems to me that the only people who would try to end and/or stifle free thought would be those who are losing the argument. The WWII generation is right, we live in dangerous times.
Considering the abominable comments that come forth from the lips of the liberals/democrats. And in particular those in the media, I can understand why Islamists call us the Great Satan. These people share the same god as those Islamists. And his name is Satan.
I would have to wonder if there is any civility in the hearts of any of these people that say such things. And they have the audacity to throw stones.
The Islamists are using these people to advance their agenda of global domination. And when their usefulness has been fulfilled they will either convert or lose their heads.
You are so correct!
Think they'll pay attention? They're to busy lauding their intelligence..
Oh, Lord remove intellect from me and give in turn, wisdom. For wisdom is to be prized and intellect a stumbling block and brings a man to vanity and downfall.
Leftist socialism appears to attract violent thugs ( example: Lavrenti Beria ), just like rightist socialism attracts violent thugs ( example: Heinrich Himmler ). The problem is that complete socialism is based upon total government control by an elite who distribute favors to those who believe and obey the state propaganda. Common law and the ideals of a constitutionally based republic are skewed to serve the state, and not the people. Two outsiders think that they can overcome and negate this sovereign republic by their socialist program now in place. The outsiders are Barack Obama and George Soros, the latter giving the orders.
I live for the day when such people as Chris Matthews, Montel Williams, Ed Schultz, Mike Malloy and Bill Maher are well and fully punished for every hateful, vicious thing they have ever said against conservative Americans. The only reason they want want to silence us is because their side is losing.
They routinely call for executions or life imprisonment for us.
Either punishment is too good for the likes of them. I want their punishment to be something that lasts a LIFETIME.
I want to see these wretched losers stripped of their citizenship, kicked out of the country and told to NEVER COME BACK. In addition, have their land and property seized and confiscated, and any diplomas they have declared null and void.
I want them to be left with NOTHING… except their twisted, pathetic leftist "honor."
We'll see how long they last in that cold, cruel world WITHOUT the United States to protect them.
And while I'm thinking of it, add Markos Moulitsas and Paul Krugman to the list. These miserable men have screwed up America long enough, and it's time to pay the piper.
This should be done quietly and everyong should pitch in a dollar, buy tickets for these people to a remote island. Find a barge and they can sail into the sunset. So nice.
WELL SAID AND OH SO TRUE
They surely will least they repent. They will assuredly receive punishment, not in this world, but the next. For a man to think that death is the final step and there is no life after death. He will come to see the falasy, for he will assuredly see the Lord in all his glory and will weep and wail because of it. Oh, how the choir sings the song of mourning in the heavenly. And that choir grows daily.
What about the Fort Hood massacre coming right on the heels of Obama's velvet glove treatment of Islam, thus encouraging them to act as they normally do-mad! How did the media treat that?
The minds of libs are much like that of the disjointed mind of the delusional lad that just finished causing havoc in Az and will justify their thoughts, actions and agenda with any lie that comes to mind and when caught manufacture another in order to justify their unfounded end. These endless lies tripp off their forked tongues with such ease and regularity, those that hear them are mystified as to why most of these unstable people are not in a jail doing time instead of holding office and threatening the process of law…..only in America.
A lot of us are becoming more and more convinced day by day that liberalism is a serious mental disease!
A lot of you are no doubt becoming more and more convinced day by day that aliens from another galaxy are secretly living among us and planning to turn us all into food.
The Left wingers may want to tread carefully on free speech lest they become impailed upon a pike of their own making…………are they stupid enough to think they will be able to get away with the kind of vitriol they spew if they are successful in limiting free speech? Look at Europe, they have these "hate speech" laws……OF COURSE!!!!… The LAWYERS….IT'S THE LAWYERS…………THEY ARE RUNNINIG OUT OF THINGSS TO DO
"if they are successful in limiting free speech"
Conservatives have been every bit as willing as liberals (both too willing) to limit free speech. Which speech they would vary is the only difference.
The only real explanation regarding the evil, godless irrational attacks is made plain by the Bible. In Jeremiah 17:9 "The heart of man is deceitful above all things and desparateley wicked! Who can know it?"
Where there is hope there is faith: I believe in Karma, and I hope that all of this Saul Alinksy stuff serves to bite them in the butt.
I am in 80 an have never seen such redric as from the left in all my days if it keeps on it well exploled it is scare you babyboomer an chidren had better wake up to what they are doing to the country or GOD help us
PERSONALLY , I RETURN THE WISHES . I GREATLY HOPE FOR THE DEATH , SUFFERING OR DISMISSAL OF ALL LEFT WINGNUTS , LIBERALS , SOCIALISTS ( COMMUNISTS ) OR WHATEVER
YOU MIGHT CALL THEM . A LIBERAL IS SOMEONE WHO WILL STEAL OR GIVE AWAY EVERYTHING
OWNED BY SOMEONE ELSE . " LIBERALISM IS A SICKNESS ~ A MENTAL DISORDER " , AND ALL
WHO WOULD COMMIT SUCH ILLEGAL , UNETHICAL , IRRESPONSIBLE , DESTRUCTIVE ACTS ARE
ENEMIES OF THE STATE , FREEDOM , AND " WE THE PEOPLE " . AS SUCH DOMESTIC ENEMIES ,
THEY SHOULD BE CONSIDERED TRAITORS AND DEALT WITH ACCORDINGLY .
The whole Leftist agenda is making me sick. It's truly infuriating.
Gary,McDuck is always right just look at his ratings and this man knows how to smear anyone and his idol is Krugman and his bible is the Times
Neither left-wing journalists, news commentators, nor Pres. Obama's words can be trusted. Every day, they verify to us their real intentions. Evil is their nature, regard dealing with them as we would need to deal with poisonous snakes.
This is no time to sit together, nor to hold hands. This past week has once again revealed their true nature and attitude towards us and our beliefs for our nation.
Maybe it's tiring to be on offense all the time, but it's the only way. Don't let your elected representatives lapse into the usual beltway coma, stay on them, insist upon their alertness, and above all continue to inform them who is the enemy.
Liberals are so taken with their party and personal; agendas, they have been so single mindedly traumatized by not getting what they thought was their divine right to lord over we who disagree, that they are mentally conditioned like Pavlov's dog to react violently to anything, no matter how mild, a consevative has to say. They think WE who disagree to be another life form when in reality, it is they who act like they come from another society from an alien planet. Can you not see it in their preference for their illegal alien brethren, their hatred for all things AMERICAN, particularly CITIZENS be they legally naturalized or native born? Hell, they even think Muslims are human. That should be enough to confine them to rubber rooms; ALL of them. If you are a liberal and find this offensive, (is there any other reality?) Excellent! Now that I have your attention, remember this: There are 23.6 million American veterans in this country. Most of us are either Independent because we trust neither party or, conservative but not necessarily Republican because we don't trust THEM either.
"Hell, they even think Muslims are human."
You're such a credit to birthers, Nikita. Sadly, you're such a poor representative of American veterans, and the things they supposedly fight for–you know, free speech, freedom of religion, etc.
You are all elitist pigs. You have stolen from programs purportedly designed to provide a retirement with a degree of dignity to our elderl;y and veterans, both of whom have been continually STOLEN fron to fund your Pork projects and povide unearned and undeserved entitlements as a rewrd to foreign invaders wjho came hre illegally and YET; you refuse to enforce our immigration laws and spurn those who placed you in officve to protect their interests. You ignore and disdain the Constitution and rule of law and think of Muslim invaders as citizens and not the inimical reality they ARE. You are insidious and you need to go.
You will be made to go. You never legislate in a constitutional and transparent fashion,. You despise everything decent, God- fearinf Americans with traditional values that have fought and died for generations to preserve what you would destroy. You will not succed. The 23.6 million of us who served in the military have lost friends and family members and had you steal from us all our lives. You disdain us as much if not more than we despise you. Aging or not, we are trained in weapons and tactics and even the active military has no great love for you. If you declared martial law and ordered them to fire on citizens in the name of order, they would likely march ion Washington and that is why Obama has been trying to recruit a private force loyal only to HIM. Impeach HIM now..
If you will not heed, then remember this: We outnumber you and we will OVERWHELM you. you, in the end, will achieve a end you never will have anticipated but which will end your miseranble existences as you have treid to end OURS. WE may be ahing but our legacy to our children and theirs is that they wil;l be handed the legacy and heritage with whih WE lived; not the world of enslavement and serfdom youy are trying through your unions and a failing educational system to create. We are Americans and proud. We have safeguraded theis nation for 235 years and wwe will again. You will end your lives as you have lived them; as carrion Respect is earned but what would any of YOU know about respect?
You will deserve your fate and we will determine it. And, the U.S. will live on: IN SPITE OF YOU!
"We outnumber you and we will OVERWHELM you. … We are Americans and proud. … You will end your lives as you have lived them; as carrion,"
As another proud American, one who happens to disagree with you on most things political, I have to ask: Just who is the "we" and the "you" in this little paranoid fantasy of yours?
I used to like Montel Williams. I thought he was a kind, smart, caring man. I no longer feel that way about him. To ENCOURAGE someone to kill themselves because you disagree with their political views is not only absurd, it is evil. Shame on you, Mr. Williams. You used to be a nice person, albeit misguided. And YES, the liberal left only spew this hate-filled garbage out at those who respectfully disagree with them.
These brain dead people rant & rave about anything that doesn't fit their agenda. When all hell breaks loose, because of the Liberals they support, they will be the first to cry, but it will be too late. The Bible explains it well. Ecclesiastes 10:2 ( The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left. Of course most of these brain dead people don't believe in God or the Bible.
