I am sorry, Mr. Eugene Robinson, “Tea party rant not harmless” but your editorial bemoaning the violence and the threats of violence on the right is so absurd it set my hair on fire. You identify several supposed threats, some of which may actually have occurred. However, did you ever object to even one the thousands of threats, really bloody ones, that were opening demonstrated against our own President Bush. Actually thousands of posters suggesting he be hanged, at least once by an image of Saddam, one by Bin Laden. Hundreds burning him in effigy. Listed below are only a few of the most heinous posters.
“Kill Bush. Bomb his f------n house.”
“Hang bush for war crimes.”
“Bush is the disease. Death is the cure.
“I’m here to kill Bush. Shoot me.
“Bush. The only dope worth shooting.
Picture with a bullet hole in his head, blood dripping down his forehead.
“Worst president ever.”
“Death to extremist Christian terrorist pig Bush.”
“Death to worlds #1 terrorist pig. Bush and his sheep.”
Picture of bushes head with blood dripping from grotesquely from his severed neck.
A guillotine named the Bush whacker.
Can you imagine the furor if even one such poster depicting violence against Obama appeared at a tea party? You scorn Sarah for her imagery, but were apparently not disturbed at all that John Kerry suggested we “kill the bird in the White House.” I go to tea parties. They are Sunday School picnics. The only violence you’ll see is the violence of your socialists friends, Mr. Robinson, who try to disrupt our peaceful protests. Speaker Palosi, was moved to tears remembering the violence of the protestors on the left. When someone on the right participates in an act of terrorism, we help you prosecute them. You reward your terrorists with lucrative government jobs.
