  • Crazy. I also read that people are threatening on Twitter to assassinate Romney if he wins. This is just crazy.

    it's a little ridic!!  If romney looses I would never threaten anything. If Romney wins these people just need to get over it and be mature but these people are probably the most liberal of them all

  • Some people have no regard for life. People need to grow up and accept whatever the outcome may be. Just ridiculous!
  • I would hope/imagine both Obama and Romney will have a very high volume of security in their presence at all times. Unfortunately, it doesn't always stop the crazies!!
  • This reminds me of 2008 when so many people were sure the president would be shot by some right-wing, racist nut if he won.  I've never seen so many people voting for someone secretly afraid of what might happen if he won.  It was scary.

    Personally, I think they generally have super efficient security, so it's not something I lose sleep at night over.

    Agree. I feel yucky about it though because people find it acceptable to have no restraint with that sort of language. It's alarming to me more because it reveals the depraved state of our society in which it is acceptable to say whatever you wish about an elected official even a death threat.

    Seriously though, guys, this happens on both sides. You cannot for half a second believe that people haven't been hateful towards Obama and make threatening remarks about him. I know, they don't talk about it on Fox News, but it happens everyday.

    Is a death threat acceptable, though? Honestly, don't they investigate that crap? I think only violent and delusional nutters think that sort of behavior is acceptable.  

    Unfortunately, there are a lot of those out there! A LOT.  And they can be found representing every race, every gender, every religion, every political persuasion and every belief system.  Pretty much every human being in the public eye is violently hated by at least one person.

    Seriously tired. All mainline media are biased in one way or another. Wake up people and realize that this includes, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, CNN and whatever other alpabetical TV places exist out there.

    Just because they're all biased, doesn't mean that some aren't significantly more biased than others (I'm lookin' at you Fox and MSNBC).

    It's not tired because it's false, it's tired because Fox is still pulling major BS on an every day basis.  We should blame the bias, not the people who point out the bias.

  • There are morons on both sides. I mean, how many people threatened to move to Canada when the ACA was passed because they didn't want health care for all?

    Bipassing the fact that you all completely missed the point of my post, where exactly did I say that Fox News was the only biased news source?

  • My point was this: the idea that Republicans are just brain-dead dolts who listen to Fox News is really tired.

  • Most the Repubs here have admitted that Fox News is a news source in their home, so it is in fact relevant.
