I have a question to ask the DU community: isn't it weird how in this country, swear words and sex jokes are censored, yet it is considered "free speech" and totally acceptable for a prominent radio show host to suggest violence against a group of people? As far as I know, this lady still has yet to be fired or reprimanded for her remarks.
Maybe I'm the crazy one here, but something seems very wrong with this picture IMO.

(251 posts)Saying someone should be punched in the mouth may be stupid but your extreme concern seems unjustified.

(8,339 posts)How is saying "when you see an Obama voter punch him in the mouth" NOT calling for violence? Your statement is one of the dumbest I have ever seen on the internet.

Can anyone say "Palin Cross-hairs?"
What was the phrase, "Don't reply, reload" or some such garbage- my memory betrays me, sorry.
The meme "class warfare" is an apt one, in this instance.
