Neither side has...(the response I wrote yesterday)<br /><br />Neither side has the high-ground, I believe I conceded that point earlier. However, there were many saying, "What you talkin' 'bout, Willis." So I'm providing examples. Also, there is a difference between the "man in the street" and those who have power and the power to influence. I haven't pointed to many "man in the street" examples, including the several video links another friend in the TP sent me, asking me if I got just "how upset they were" (this was back last April). Why? Because they're not from people who have the position to influence others on a larger scale. And mostly I was pointing to the opening paragraph of that article. It's a rhetoric that's becoming pervasive. <br /><br />Many times you've asked for proof, here I am providing examples. <br /><br />Now, if you want to say, "no, public rhetoric has no effect on people," I'll agree with you. But then I'll ask to have restored complete sex education in schools, remove the record/video game/movie rating labels, end the campaign against "first person shooter" games, etc. Most of that I couldn't care about, except the sex education part. <br /><br />Also, as to the political leaning of the Giffords shooter, you're going from his "reading list" and one comment from a friend (that hasn't been repeated by other friends). His reading list, btw, isn't standard for leftists. If anything, it's closer to college entry reading lists than anything else.<br /><br />As to the protesters calling for lynching, apparently were mostly captured by "conservative videographers." Convenient that. Also see Common Cause's press release after the event where they condemned such speech.Steve Buchheithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12999709767641212586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19111384.post-89186420595947769872011-02-10T21:54:48.779-05:002011-02-10T21:54:48.779-05:00Hey Cassie, because I received the comment in emai...Hey Cassie, because I received the comment in email. When I didn't see it here, the first thing I did was check "Comments Awaiting Moderation", which was where blogger used to put them. But, they added a new feature. Just found it. <br /><br />My reply is at work, so I'll have post the whole thing tomorrow. The basic part is that you often ask me for proof of my position, so I'm providing it. And when it's on either side, it's deplorable, which is what Common Cause said in their response.Steve Buchheithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12999709767641212586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19111384.post-53936059754555547762011-02-10T18:40:51.524-05:002011-02-10T18:40:51.524-05:00Check your spam filter.

(How did you know I posted if you couldn't see it?) <br /><br />Fortunately, had it saved because I don't trust the preview.<br /><br />Are you seriously still spewing that line of BS about the cause of the AZ shootings? Seriously? After all the reporting that the shooter had it out for Giffords? He didn't watch/listen to conservatives and it's most likely that if he were in either party, it probably way Democrat?<br /><br />Looking at your first link:<br /><br />The ONLY quotation by a Republican in the entire piece was<br /><br /><i>"Reid had no chance to win before. He has a shot to win now. He could still lose, but I have to say he is favored."</i><br /><br />by the guy who ran against Angle, hardly a significant Republican. You have issues with "shot to win"? <br /><br />The writer is responsible for the prose in this article - did you read his bio? I have never seen this site before, so I have no idea if it skews right or left, but the author helped found PUMA. <br /><br />Seriously, guy, step away from the koolaid and give Common Cause a call and ask them to respond to their protesters calling for the lynching of Justice Thomas and his wife.<br /><br />Don't know anything about it? Not that you'd know from the Washington Post <a href="http://voices.washingtonpost.com/right-turn/2011/01/the_uncivil_left.html" rel="nofollow">report.</a> Try <a href="http://pajamasmedia.com/tatler/2011/02/07/so-much-for-civility/%22" rel="nofollow">here </a>.<br /><br />Cassie, againAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19111384.post-90542297640186850962011-02-10T12:45:06.372-05:002011-02-10T12:45:06.372-05:00Hey Cassie, went to respond, but I don't see y...Hey Cassie, went to respond, but I don't see your post here on the site.Steve Buchheithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12999709767641212586noreply@blogger.com
