Right Wing Talk Show Hosts Daydreams About Obama's Assasination
I guess this kind of hate-speech against the president should not surprise anyone these days.
Beck raises his fingers to signify a gun and mutters: “Bang bang.” He is referring to the possibility of Obama being assassinated. “Just a mysterious lone gunman lurking in the shadows of the capital,” he says in a wry, dreamy way.
Oops, my mistake. It wasn't Glenn Beck. It was Rush Limbaugh. No, wait, it wasn't Rush Limbaugh, it was Sean Hannity. No, wait, it was far-left homosexual author Gore Vidal who was daydreaming about Obama's assassination.
Vidal went on to say that the 2000 Election was a "coup d'etat," that Republicans are fascist racist thugs, and that the USA will soon be under a military dictatorship. Nothing you couldn't see in five minutes of browsing the Democratic Underground Message Board (DUMB), DailyKos, or Stormfront.
But can you imagine the outrage if Beck, Limbaugh, or Hannity had waxed "dreamily" about assassinating Obama?

Some favorite WFB quotes:
"Liberals claim to want to give a hearing to other views, but then are shocked and offended to discover that there are other views."
"Back in the thirties we were told we must collectivize the nation because the people were so poor. Now we are told we must collectivize the nation because the people are so rich."
"Liberals, it has been said, are generous with other peoples' money, except when it comes to questions of national survival when they prefer to be generous with other people's freedom and security."
And, in response to the lies that ARE modern Liberalism / Progressivism / Communism / Neosocialism / Fascism:
"I would like to take you seriously, but to do so would affront your intelligence."
"I won't insult your intelligence by suggesting that you really believe what you just said."

No one needs suggest that any liberal, er.., excuse me, progressive in today's political environment might suffer assassination. They're self-imolating.
That's where the Tea Parties are coming from - people that will be going to polls in November of 2010 to politically assassinate miscreants on the ballot. Good Bye, and good luck. Let's get America back on the tracks!

Liberals/progressives, like most selfish and immature children, do need a good smack from daddy every so often to remind them that the real world doesn't revolve around only them and their idealism.
One more from WFB:
"Idealism is fine, but as you approach reality, the costs become prohibitive"

Has Gore Vidal EVER been relevant?

Gore Vidal. A hole in the ground. A Bag of lime.
Now THAT's a threesome I can get behind!

LOL! Did WFB call Vidal a "Poofta" around :52? Oh, how much we've lost in terms of freedom of speech since 1968!
