Leftist hate speech again

We read:
"Brooke Fox of Seattle's MOVIN, 92.5 FM radio show "The Ladies Room" wants to know who would be worth risking jail just so you could punch them out. Such violence. Of course, the question is what would have happened if a conservative radio show host had made this Twitter post?

On her Twitter feed on February 17, Miss Fox asked the question "Fill in the blank 'I would be willing to go to jail for the opportunity to punch out ____!'" The next day she answered the question by posting a few names of celebs she apparently wouldn't mind punching out. That list included Zach Efron, Ann Coulter, Kanye West, Octomom, Kate Gosselin, and John Mayer.

I guess it's OK when a liberal radio talker wants to commit violence on people they don't like. But the whole of the media establishment would have raised up in righteous indignation if a conservative yacker had made such an idiotic Twitter post. Should it have been a conservative, that radio host would have been on every TV and in every newspaper in the country and would likely have been suspended or even fired. He'd have been said to be pushing a "hate crime."

But our Miss Fox is a left-winger, so she gets a pass. For her the Old Media is silent. Just more of the double standard the Old Media employs.

Although Ann Coulter would probably kick her ass, I am not so much against th DJ saying it as I am against what would happen to a conservative who said the very same thing. They're just words but the double standard always seems to apply.

Um, that's the point. Not the words, but the double standard.

I'm not a violent person.

However,

I wouldn't mind wrestling with lovely Ann Coulter.....

Naked on a water bed, of course!

It's natural to expect more from better people, that's why conservatives are held to higher principles.

Well, let's do what Right Wingnuts do best - write e-mails to the General Manager expressing our displeasure at the level of hate and violence advocated by their on-air personalities.

A ranting, hate-filled missive will make no difference - but a flood of polite but firm e-mails would probably get the message across.

The station's General Manager can be reached at....

You see, to the Left, physical violence is much more acceptable than anything hurting one's self-esteem or mental state.

Regardless of how you feel about Rush Limbaugh, he simply stated that he wished Obama's policies fail (because in doing so, Conservative values would be upheld) and he words were immediately considered hate speech, and people wanted him thrown off the air. I guess if he had simply said he wanted to punch Obama, that would have been OK.

And if someone is subjected to violence, they just have to call it
"abuse" and then it will explain away everything that goes wrong in their life.
