Will Democrats Differentiate Themselves from Hate Speech in Oregon?
By the Barney Frank standard, proof continues to emerge that Democratic critics of Sarah Palin countenance name-calling. Don’t think the unhappy Massachusetts Democrat (or any Democrat for that matter) has “differentiated” himself from the angry signs that greeted the arrival of the former Alaska Governor in Eugene, Oregon:
To the woman carrying sign dubbing your burg a “Hate-Free Zone,” I wonder why you’re not faulting the person standing right behind you hoisting a “Hope She Chokes” Sign. Seems kind of hateful to wish death on someone.
But, I’m sure that irony escapes here because these leftists seem to think that hate comes from one side only.
Via Gateway Pundit who has more including this, these folks “need to concentrate more on spelling and less on indoctrination“.
UPDATE: Commenting on this picture, Ed Morrissey offers:
It’s a darned good thing that the person holding the sign that says, “Hope she chokes” (with the Obama logo a nice touch, by the way) is doing so in Eugene’s “hate-free zone.” Why, if someone had displayed a sign at a Tea Party rally that said something about our President choking, it would have been declared a symptom of the violence inherent in the conservative system, with apologies to Dennis the Peasant.
Pretty much sums it up.

Maybe the media will be troubled that the anti-Palin crowd isn’t diverse enough in racial demographics!

I think the first paragraph is supposed to read “proof continues to emerge that Democratic critics of Sarah Palin countenance name-calling.

Ah, so gay and lesbian liberals hate rich people, hate white people, hate women, and hate families.
That makes sense. Why are gay and lesbian liberals classist, racist, misogynist, and anti-family bigots?

These are the same a-holes who ASSerted that only an idiot (Bush) could choke on a piece of food and thought it was funny as hell.

I don’t see any black or Hispanic people in these pictures. It must be because liberals are all racists…
Where are Christ Matthews and rest shrieking about the ethnic make up of THIS rally, huh???

Can you provide one single speech made by Governor Palin where she has indicated that she is anti-gay?
On the contrary the governor has been very respectful towards gay people and I am certain that if she makes a run for President in 2012 there will be gays working on her team.

The point here is not whether Palin is anti gay- it’s whether we can stomach any more of the double standards the left is so intent upon using!
Do as we say, not as we do.
No people of color at this protest, check. Hate filled signs at this protest. Check. Negative, fear inspiring media coverage of it, none. Check.
All is in order, as expected by the liberal left and media. You can hate and wish ill of and be ignorant to ANY GOP or Conservative in the whole country, but God forbid you say a negative thing about Obama’s policies in a peaceful protest; you are a nazi racist homophobe for even thinking this way.
I am sick and tired of this BS.

That photo simply shows how hypocritical they are. Right or left hate is wrong and they as a group accusing other of hate while exhibiting it them self’s is just childish.
