Leftists' Language While Denouncing Right Wing Violence

I've yet to see any right wing violence like the Left usually does, like assassinations, murder, blowing up buildings, riots, clashes with the police. Apparently the use of metaphors, similes, and symbols are violent.

Bob Schieffer on Face the Nation: "What about the violence in the wake of the congressional action? Isolated incidents or signs of a dangerous anger?" He was going to interview "Republican firebrands, South Carolina Senator Jim DeMint and Minnesota Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann". Demint and Bachmann are 'firebrands'?. When I was a Leftist, our firebrands were the Chicago Seven, Abbie Hoffman, Allen Ginsberg, the Weather Underground. But Bachmann and Demnint? ummmmmm Schieffer: "Senator, we saw some pretty scary stuff last week....We saw members' offices that were trashed. We saw death threats....Do you think the parties have an obligation to try to tone down some of this runaway rhetoric? Is it, in fact, dangerous?" Leftists actually destroy things and kill people, and rhetoric is dangerous?

This is from a fundraiser for "Democracy for America", a Democrat campaign orgaization brought to power by Howard Dean. Alan Grayson, a Dem congressman that had said Republicans want to kill babies and wants Americans to "die quickly": "These [health insurers] have decided that if it costs too much to keep a child breathing, then this child will die. They will deploy their lawyers and their accountants, to make sure that this child dies." Does any sane person really believe that Republicans want to kill babies to make a profit? If you do, go get some help. (By the way, by reminder, when Obama was an Illinois politician, he voted that babies surviving an abortion attempt were not to be saved, but left to die. Who wants babies to die?)

Here's a nice one by Leftist talk show host (yes Virginia, there is such a thing)Mike Malloy, who sent a letter to Fox News, naming several of their on air personalities: "eat s**t and die you right wing geeks". This while blasting his political opposition for their hateful, violence inciting speech: "People like me who say that if Limbaugh, and Beck, and Hannity, and the rest of these clowns, in their incitement of the brain-dead followers, if there is another Murrah Federal Building incident, or one similiar to it, these guys ought to commit suicide. That would be the honorable thing to do."
