I hate Double Standards

.
News outlets that are focusing on the incendiary rhetoric of conservatives outside President Obama's town hall meeting Tuesday ignored the incendiary rhetoric -- and even violence -- of liberals outside an appearance by former President George W. Bush in 2002.

When Bush visited Portland, Ore., for a fundraiser, protesters stalked his motorcade, assailed his limousine and stoned a car containing his advisers. Chanting "Bush is a terrorist!", the demonstrators bullied passers-by, including gay softball players and a wheelchair-bound grandfather with multiple sclerosis.

One protester even brandished a sign that seemed to advocate Bush's assassination. The man held a large photo of Bush that had been doctored to show a gun barrel pressed against his temple.

"BUSH: WANTED, DEAD OR ALIVE," read the placard, which had an X over the word "ALIVE."

Another poster showed Bush's face with the words: "F--- YOU, MOTHERF---ER!"

A third sign urged motorists to "HONK IF YOU HATE BUSH." A fourth declared: "CHRISTIAN FASCISM," with a swastika in place of the letter S in each word.

Although reporters from numerous national news organizations were traveling with Bush and witnessed the protest, none reported that protesters were shrieking at Republican donors epithets like "Slut!" "Whore!" and "Fascists!"

Frank Dulcich, president and CEO of Pacific Seafood Group, had a cup of liquid thrown into his face, and then was surrounded by a group of menacing protesters, including several who wore masks. Donald Tykeson, 75, who had multiple sclerosis and was confined to a wheelchair, was blocked by a thug who threatened him.

Protesters slashed the tires of several state patrol cruisers and leapt onto an occupied police car, slamming the hood and blocking the windshield with placards. A female police officer was knocked to the street by advancing protesters, badly injuring her wrist.

What kills me, is that even FOX, We Report, You Decide FOX, says it's conservatives who are doing this. Well, everything I've seen shows Democrats, identifying themselves as Democrats, yelling just as loud, if not louder.

I'm glad that we have the guns and the MSM just has wave lenghts.

Am I missing something here?

They are honoring Scott Speicher, as they should..

He was the first casualty of the First Gulf War, on Jan 17, 1991.

It was believed he was MIA, held prisoner since then

His wife married his best friend on July 4, 1992.

BOW,
I remember the wheel chair dude, it did make Fox and Drudge. Even if that hadn't made the news, we've seen plenty of other instances where Liberals go crazed at open functions.

And I'll bite, what does she have to do with him getting honors?

His widow just happened to marry his best friend before he hit the ground.

That is cold

I'd say Pam and Scott were finished BEFORE the war started. She didn't have enough time to get divorced otherwise.

Guys marrying their best friend's wife is the semi-norm in the military. ESPECIALLY among officers. It's also not unusual to see an enlisted guys wife, get a divorce, then marry someone STILL IN his upper command structure either. Those are just some of the dirty little secrets in the military.

And more often than not, it's about upward mobility and power, not sex or love.

Chime in military others, been there seen that?

But what about the MSM jerks on that story too? They painted Speicher as a war monger and his (ex)wife as a victim of Bush's war. It made for better points of liberal view.

Black Man Pleads Guilty to Posing as Obama-Hating White Supremacist on Facebook
Friday, August 14, 2009

Print NEW ORLEANS — An African-American man from Mississippi admits posing as a white supremacist to send a death threat across state lines by Facebook.

The U.S. Attorney's Office says 20-year-old Dyron L. Hart of Poplarville pleaded guilty Wednesday in federal court to making a threat in November 2008.

Hart admitted creating a name and using a white supremacists' photo to pose as a white man who planned to kill blacks because Barack Obama had been elected president.

He originally was charged with threatening three black students at Nicholls State — where he had attended one semester — but pleaded guilty Wednesday to one count.

He sent the threats from a computer in Poplarville.

The maximum sentence is five years in prison and a $250,000 fine; sentencing is Nov. 18.

Note that this never made the MSM. Surely the judge will be called racist unless he lets the guy go.
