Ever since the shooting in Az the leftists have been saying lets all tone down the rhetoric. But, instead of heeding their own advice they have been the ones screaming insults and death threats. What a strange world we live in.

Ever since the shooting in Arizona, the Righties have been saying that speech should be free and that it has no affect on behavior.
Now that people are exercising free speech, they want to shut it down because of the affect it is having on behavior!
What a strange world we live in!
Quentin who exactly has suggested “shutting down” any of the protest going on in Wisconsin?
Not only have I not heard a single word about shutting speech down I have witnessed a number of people on the right willing to engage in debates about the protesters complaints and express their own ideas about what is going on. Strange or not that is the truth about what the right is doing.

Quentin, I do not accept your interpretation. Those persons you now mockingly call “righties” never said speech has no affect on behavior. They just said it was not part of the Tuscon shooter’s behavior you referenced.
Conservatives have long held that with free speech come a responsibility to know when not to use it. Yes, they rejected the nexus leftist/libs alleged between talk radio and the shooting of the Congresswoman. Time has shown they were correct. The shooter was simply an unstable person acting on weird issues that had little to nothing to do with right-wing rhetoric.
However, when I talk about accountability and responsibility in free speech, it should also be noted that conservatives have historically refrained from using death threats and the all too free use of the F word in rhetoric. Liberals put it on tee shirts. They test the limits all the time, They use the F word on protest signs and politico bumper stickers, but the left certainly has not, have they? No, for them they have no limits, well make that very few limits. Its all part of the free speech they like to abuse and they apparently don’t have the intellect or don’t care to see what the other side (right side) sees as a virtue. Instead they prefer to smugly mock such ideals and show their contempt by trying to shock us time after time with their in-your-face vulgar conduct.

As usual Mr. Colgan is forced to invent so he can have a straw man to bash.
In this he even goes so far as to conflate death threats with free speech.
What a strange, bizarre, and astonishingly confused and demented parallel universe Colgan (and the left in general) live in.
No surprises there.
