See, Kathy, the thing is, Twitter is very public, and screen grabs are very easy. Consider yourself on the record.

The good news is the idiots that consider this Frendling lady a hero and want to buy a house from her probably all have shitty credit and no money anyway. But they will do whatever lardass with a 100 plus million dollar contract to spew nonsense all day Rush Limbaugh tells them to.
Can't wait till dmarks tries to dance around this one....
He better bring his ballet slippers for this one...
No matter how many showed up in DC yesterday, they are NOT what America is about. they represent the absolutely hate-crazed, illiterate crazies that have been influenced by the barely literate Glenn Becks of the world.
They are NOT what America is about. We who are sane cringe just thinking that so many stupid Americans are out their abusing their "freedoms" to be so publicly stupid.
I think the Obama administration should react to the demonstrations on Sat. the same way the Bush administration reacted to the anti-war demonstrations in 2003--IGNORE THEM.
It worked for Bush.
Like so many cowards on the right, the people who twittered those remarks no longer allow access to their twitterings. Sorta like what happened to you, shaw, last week when some guy plagiarized someone's work and left it on your blog then when he was found out, he closed down his blog? And someone else did the same thing too?
Yeah, dishonest cowards.
My goodness!
Cathy Frendling is not very friendly, is she? What an idiot. What a complete and total idiot. It would seem to me that the secret service should pay the darling woman a courtesy call, hmmm?
I was damned near rabid on my blog and on "Twitter" in my opposition to the Bush administration, but I never - on my worst day advocated violence against the hideous little bastard.

A sad spectacle is occutring on the right wing because it did attain the power it was seeking, and the results were disastrous. As a result, all the rational people have left. What remains was on view in D.C. Saturday.
These folks will now be keynote speakers at the next tea baggers march...they will be on Fox News and Glenn Beck will start a patriots wall and their pictures will be the first ones up...
Call it the Joe Wilson complex...
The way crazy, miserable white people have to get their reactionary right street creds...
Tao: You'd have to wait a long time for me to dance around anything like this at all. Never happened. You know better than that: I have zero tolerance for death threats against any President. And the feeling is as strong concerning the current President.
If you think you've ever seen me do anything but condemn death threats, you are nothing but mistaken.
My first thought is that Twitter tweets are probably tracable. I'd love to see each and everyone on of those who made these tweets to be removed from the body politic and dropped into the general population of some federal prison somewhere. I think there is one in Minnesota, too: "hide" them there.
All of the hundreds of thousands who went to DC to protest are extremist nuts? Interesting.
Shaw, I couldn't find the posts where you condemn Randi Rhodes and Craig Kilborne for making threats about shooting President Bush. Could you forward me the links?
This is great, the Billionaires for Wealthcare were on the Rachel show;

BTW, those who actually went to D.C. Sat. saw maybe a maximum of 40K. For a view of what millions look like, see the inauguration crowd.

I wasn't blogging then. I don't even know who Craig Kilborne is. Never heard of him. And you can scour my blog and never find one mention of Randy Rhodes. She's an extremist, IMHO, and you will not find anything about her on my blog.
I am not for presidential assassination as a means of changing the direction of this country.
It appears to me and quite a few others that most of the grievances over Mr. Obama are due to the fact that he won in November. A lot of conservatives believe that only THEY have the right to elect the president of the United States.
They started in on delegitimizing Mr. Clinton as soon as he got into office, and the same thing, only more vicious, is happening today.
Nothing of this magnitude happened in the first 7 months of Bush's term.
There was no national talk show host bleating that he hoped Mr. Bush's presidency would fail. There were no US Congressmen or women casting doubt on whether or not Mr. Bush was a legitimate American citizen and eligible to be president. No one attacked Laura Bush's patriotism (she had been a gasp! Democrat). And certainly even at the height of Mr. Bush's unpopularity, no member of Congress ever behaved in such a loutish manner as did the odious Joe Wilson (R.SC).
It was only after we witnessed Bush's incompetency in office that calls for his impeachment and other nasty things were heard.
IMHO, there is more than a little racism going on in these unprecedented attacks on Mr. Obama.
And reaching back into history--it is very much like the sort of seething, menacing hatred by the south that Mr. Lincoln suffered as soon as he was elected.
There are reasons for our alarm.
"And you can scour my blog and never find one mention of Randy Rhodes. She's an extremist, IMHO, and you will not find anything about her on my blog."
That's kind of the point, Shaw. You don't seem to have a problem with roasting those whom you deem extreme when they don't share your politics.
Or going after Joe Wilson for his exclamation when Pete Stark's speech in 2007 doesn't seem worthy of consideration.
Craig Kilborn was the original host of The Daily Show. His threat against President Bush happened on an episode of The Late Late Show in 2004.
Shaw said: "It was only after we witnessed Bush's incompetency in office that calls for his impeachment and other nasty things were heard."
Well, you were pretty reasonable until you made this dubious and partisan assertion. I am sure those who have been calling for Obama's impeachment think Obama is incompetant, also.
Also, while calls for Bush's impeachment did come later, there were plenty of kooks on the Left who "de legitimized" Bush by saying he wasn't a real President at all. The "selected, not elected" reality-lorn crowd has its echo in the "Birthers" now.
There's some tit-for-tat here that is amusing. Some.
But that goes only so far. I find no justification of any kind, regardless of the fact that there were death threats against Bush, for any of the death threats against Obama. None at all. None of that should be tolerated, no matter who is in office.
Also, Shaw said: "And reaching back into history--it is very much like the sort of seething, menacing hatred by the south that Mr. Lincoln suffered as soon as he was elected. There are reasons for our alarm."
Then look everywhere. The last Presidential assassination (one I hope is the last, ever) came from a left-wing kook. Despite all the harsh right-wing rhetoric against JFK that existed in that day.
"Or going after Joe Wilson for his exclamation when Pete Stark's speech in 2007 doesn't seem worthy of consideration."
I don't remember that. But it was wrong then when Stark did it.
You keep coming up with the "They did it too!" excuse.
I thought you guys believed you're better than the Left. Better ideas, better people, better patriots. Then you do exactly what the Left does? Huh?
Why do you keep copying its bad behaviors and then become indignant when called on it?
Somebody has to be the grown-up sometime. I guess it's not going to be your side. You've seen the grossly destructive behavior of the extremists on the Left and raised it to the 10th power.
They Did It Too!
It appears the only thing the Right wants is REVENGE!
The GOP is pure evil. The Republican trolls on here are bad enough, but even they aren't as bad as those Twitter twits.
Hmm...
It does seem that you're expecting a higher standard from the right. You're not exactly a stranger to the "they did it too!" argument; you pull it out whenever someone points out that Obama is driving the deficit to levels never before imagined.
But I think it's good that you expect better of the right than you do of the left. I do, too.
So what's for dinner tonight?
I don't recall peep #1 from the right side of the aisle when we launched the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq all those years ago on the nation's credit card.
Not if you want to talk about the costs associated with maintaining empire add to our budget deficits and the national debt then by all means let's begin a serious discussion of government spending.
But, of course, the right doesn't wish any such thing.
