Alter: Not fair to blame Palin. It IS fair to blame both sides.

[Cetacea]

Well, both sides can certainly be accused of citing false equivalencies.

1. My jaw dropped when he said that!

Alter mentioned the recent "violent political rhetoric on both sides". BOTH SIDES? I can't think of a single incidence of violent rhetoric from the left to put up against the dozens and dozens of threats from the right.

Why would Alter say such an asinine thing? I thought he was one of the good guys!

3. There have been some; but it's fair to say that there are 10 conservatoid ones for every 1

that liberals have said.

2. K&R - yet it stayed at ''zero.''

Alter is doing his best to make his bosses -- the nutjobs who consider violence against liberals "OK" -- happy.

Going from memory: I am yet to see a liberal condone violence against a conservative. Not one.

Why Corporate McPravda would say otherwise should make clear who's who and what's what when it comes to truth.

6. "I am yet to see a liberal condone violence against a conservative."

I haven't either.

:wtf:

4. It should be painfully obvious by now to anyone paying attention

that the media has an agenda and is following orders from a higher authority.

And, most disturbing of all, they will do anything to protect Palin from her culpability in murdering a 9-year-old girl.

5. SO ... Palin is not on a side ?

The profound intellectual disconnect from the ham handed compulsion to protect the GOP and spread the "they are all the same" manner of excusing the GOP ...

7. Hey Alter, you milquetoast buttplug, you're welcome to pick the peanuts from my shit

[Fleshdancer]

10. ROFL @ "milquetoast buttplug"

:rofl:

I applaud your hilarious creativity with that one. I'm stealing it. :thumbsup:

[TheKentuckian]

11. No need steal, it is freely given.

8. Well Jonathan ...

could you please provide some quotes from Gabrielle to back up your claim.

9. How many RW public figures have been murdered by liberals with a

political motive in the past 50 years??

Now compare that to the number of liberal public figures murdered by RWers with a political motive in the same time.

12. I challenge Alter to a show of evidence.

Nothing compares to the violent imagery and tone we have been witnessing from the tea party this decade. It just isn't true.
