Kate,

You seem hung up on whether things were said by the right or the left. Why don't we ask them all to stop? Doesn't matter who does it. Incendiary language needs to stop in our politics and in our media.

How about a Nelson Mandela moment. We forgive previous transgressions to make progress going forward. That would be a start. Maybe someone could start a website for politicians documenting the incendiary comments/commercials that take place going forward to keep track.

Neal

But which right wing politician is supposed to have made this quote in recent times? That's what I thought the left was claiming. No?

I don't know if any headline politician was using it but I guess it was a refrain by some of the members of the Tea Party. I took it to mean overturning an over reaching government. In that sense I think the critique from the left that these protest should have started under George Bush is valid.
