It has been more than three months since Kenneth Gladney was viciously attacked by SEIU employees.

I guess this board can’t report on that, since the media doesn’t report on it anywhere either.

False equivalency of rhetoric from the right and left – check. Attack the messenger for having the audacity to point out predictably violence tinged right wing smears – check.

Why is this a false equivalency? KOS (and those blogs) sponsored a Democratic debate last election… that shows they’ve got big power and influence… nasty comments on their blog are the same as on Nation.

As for “attacking the messenger,” the question is why is this more relevant than the attacks from the left? I know YOU think it’s more relevant because you hate FOX and Republicans… so anything that bolsters your POV is good, and things that don’t are bad. But since the world isn’t really quite so black and white, and your ego only controls YOUR life, not reality… the question of “Why” is relevant.

FoxNation.com; proving that Fox News is a political outlet, not a news outlet.

Do you feel the same way about MSNBC.com’s “Newsvine” site? There, they consistently have left-wing opinions, comments, and polls. Does that make NBC (and MSNBC and Microsoft), all Democratic outfits? Apply the same standard.

How do always-enraged Little People like you celebrate Christmas Eve – by molesting the children??

Uuuuuhhh? What does that even mean?

I talk about you, because you’re one of the posters around here who comes in, drops some nonsense (and I don’t mean, I disagree with your opinion nonsense… just real gibberish nonsense… always talking about “little people”), and then runs away. As for this particular reference to you, it was after I read this comment from yesterday:

Proof that Shadegg should have been…aborted. It’s never too late!

So, based on a thread that centered around “nasty comments,” your comment that you believe Congressman Shadegg should be murdered, seemed to fit nicely with my argument.

Hey Mr. Coscarelli, maybe your next post should be about Mediaite.

Same as its always been, on steroids.

what makes you think it’s not the moderators making the comments just to stir the pot?

I would suggest you search twitter hashtags for #hcr, #glennbeck, #sarahpalin then come back and say that the “leebruls” aren’t wishing ill or death on anyone on the other side. Hell, 2 minutes under the #glennbeck hashtag and you will see that 100% of the people not supporting Glenn Beck wish death upon him, or at least for him to be seriously hurt.

how stupid can someone be to compare the violent and hateful rhetoric spewed on fox nation to what those evil “leebruls” are doing? what have they done that is so terrible, let alone, even close to what those fox nation goons say? are the liberals threatening anybody or wanting to kill them? its not even comparable.

Things like this never happened.

Or “discussions” like this.

Or any post from Nachi on Mediaite. Or the recent comments from Alan Grayson.

Nope… those don’t exist… the left is always friendly and respectful.

Or not.

Maybe if the Democrats had written an “opt out” clause instead of a “we’re going to throw you in jail if you don’t do what we say” clause, the less crazy side of the Republican spectrum wouldn’t have sided with the paranoid Republican fringers so easily.

But when you say you’re passing legislation to “help people,” and you include legal language in that legislation which basically says *non-compliance in accepting our help is a criminal offense*…you’ve got to kind of expect that people are going to be a little upset.

“many of the 3,000+ comments are angry, factually inaccurate and even blood-thirsty —”

Where are they???? 3 out of 3000+Those don’t come anywhere close to the standard of Hateful & blood thirsty you, yourself set.

I remember when this same biased Mediaite was running things about KennedyCare and blaming the GOP for those signs at a tea party event and they were really placed there by Democrats (L L supporters).

Grow up. Violent language from either side is bad. Take an initiative and say so without pointing at the other side.

Thank God I am No Party Affiliation. Both parties and both sides are simply embarrassing.

When I first started reading, I liked Mediaite due to their even coverage, however over time it seems that this newblog just wants to be a less-hateful version of the Huffington Post. Not that it would be any better.

I have to admit that I love the circus….so could you include some of the more colorful comments on various subjects from Daily Kos and Democratic Underground? They get really colorful, violent and vile as well.

Thanks!
