Since The "Liberal Media" WON'T Do It, Let's Start Building The Case Here

[ChoppinBroccoli]

Keith Olbermann has been warning the Glenn Becks and Rush Limbaughs and Sarah Failins of the world for over a year now that if they continue to spew hatred, foment fear, and encourage violence, someone would end up dead. They whip their listeners up into a frenzy, give them the blueprint of what they want to happen, and then sit back and watch. They do it all for ratings, and then shrug their shoulders and give the standard, "who could have ever predicted that some lone nut........" excuse when the exact thing they called for happens.

Now we have the first of what will undoubtedly be many of these acts of violence against politicians for having the guile to have an opposing viewpoint. I've been sitting here all day waiting for the "Liberal Media" to start compiling and showing clips and/or quotes of right-wing screamers encouraging their lapdog followers to arm themselves and "take back" the country. Since it hasn't happened (surprise, surprise), I thought maybe we could do their homework for them.

And while this sounds like exactly the kind of project that Jon Stewart and his staff might already be working on, I thought maybe we could compile ALL the quotes, sound clips, and video clips of people making the comments that led to this person committing the very act they encouraged. Maybe if we get them all in one place, we can compile a list that is impressive enough to get somebody in the mainstream media's attention. I know for a fact that at least one right-wing screamer was encouraging people to take their guns to political events. And there have to be hundreds more of these types of comments out there. I suggest we put them all into this thread so that when the right-wingers all start hiding behind "plausible deniability," we can demonstrate that this was the right-wing's plan all along. What say you?

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/03/23/michele-bachmann-i-want-p_n_178156.html

"Controversial Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) said this weekend that she wants residents of her state "armed and dangerous" over President Barack Obama's plan to reduce global warming "because we need to fight back."

Bachmann also told her constituents she was "a foreign correspondent on enemy lines," sending Minnesotans warnings through her blog, Facebook, Twitter, and Myspace. "I try to let everyone back here in Minnesota know exactly the nefarious activities that are taking place in Washington.""
