where is the talk of killing ?? Rush said at the next election, but you left that out. Targeting you oppenent has been political lingo for decades if not centuries. that's not the same as saying I want them dead.

Rush ,O'Rielly or Beck have NEVER called for the death of anyone. only liberals do that. Like Alec Baldwin wanting henry Hyde and his whole family to die. Like Sen Kerry saying he would kill Bush.

This rally, which about 300 people braved the rain, wind, and 45-degree temperatures to attend, was a small-town, homemade affair. There were no Washington activists, no Fox News stars, nobody from outside the local area. It began with the Pledge of Allegiance and a capella renditions of “My Country ‘Tis of Thee” and “America the Beautiful.” It ended with “God Bless America.” There were lots flags and patriotism and quotations from the Founding Fathers. This is not a rich place. According to the census, the median household income in Winchester is $44,808, significantly less than the statewide Virginia median of $59,575, a number that includes the affluent suburbs of Washington. Less than one in four adults here has a bachelor’s degree or higher. And with the economic downturn, particularly in the housing business, many are in rough situations. “I started out with three or four workers, and it’s down to me,” Ken Hersh, the painting contractor, told me. “I had my sons working with me. It’s bad when you have to tell your sons to find another job.” “You laid off your sons?” “I laid off my sons. That’s bad.” Cheryl Lancaster, the homemaker, told me her husband “sells evil corporate jets.” She explained that his job gave her a different perspective on the populist outcry against corporate CEOs and their private planes. “You know how a lot of companies were getting slammed on that, but I think of all the people the jet companies employed,” she said. You can think what you like of the tea parties, and the media coverage of the tea parties, across the country. Here in Winchester, Tax Day was a serious and well-meaning affair. For the people here, there are principles at stake in this fight, and, as much as they can, they intend to stand up for what they believe. From a Byron York column on a tea party - patriotic songs, God Bless America, flags .... no wonder liberals foam at the mouth over these people. That stuff is like a cross to a vampire.
