So if folks like Jesse Jackson kept his rhetoric toned down like the conservative talking heads you guys would be fine with that? (I'll wait for a reply but you know what's coming)


Which conservative talking head referred to NYC as "Hymietown"?
Which one led marchers through the streets chanting the black equivalent of "blood sucking jews," "cracker" and "white inteloper"?
Which one tweeted the (wrong) home address of a black criminal defendant in the hopes people would show up to his house and threaten his family?

And, more to the point, which conservative talking head did anything similar to that and was allowed to keep his or her prestigious reputation as a network TV talk show host and/or unofficial US ambassador?

Yes, there are intemperate comments made by both sides and there are racists on both sides.

But only one side gets to do these things and keep their "credibility" with the mainstream press and the political class.

Furthermore, even if you take an inappropriate comment like Limbaugh jokingly calling that professional protester a "slut," and try to compare, there is no comparison. Limbaugh's comment didn't threaten to start a riot or get someone killed. The mess in FL has the real possibility of turning into either.
