Violent Rhetoric About The Clintons Falls On Deaf Ears At Secret Service---But Watch What You Say About Bush

It's vile, is what it is.

BeggarsCanBeChoosers.com: Violent Rhetoric About The Clintons Falls On Deaf Ears At Secret Service---But Watch What You Say About Bush: "
By MARC McDONALD

Right-wing nutcase Michael Graham's latest controversy---in which he said he wanted to see someone 'whack' the Clintons in a Sopranos spoof isn't the first time he's used violent rhetoric when discussing the Clintons. In 2003, Graham said of Hillary Clinton: 'I wanted to bludgeon her with a tire iron.'

Such inflammatory language is nothing new for the right-wing. Recall how Ann Coulter once wrote that the debate over Bill Clinton should be about 'whether to impeach or assassinate.'

Recall also the comment by Jesse Helms in 1994: 'Mr. Clinton better watch out if he comes down here. He'd better have a bodyguard.'

Or G. Gordon Liddy's comment in 1995, when discussing how he'd used stick figures of the Clintons for target practice. 'Thought it might improve my aim,' he said.

I guess the right-wing nut-cases excuse the above inflammatory comments as 'humor.'
