Radical comments.
Just to show that the comments come from both sides of the aisle.
“A Republican majority in Congress would mean “hand-to-hand combat” on Capitol Hill for the next two years, threatening policies Democrats have enacted to stabilize the economy,” — Obama, October 6, 2010
“If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun,”— Obama in July 2008
“I want you to argue with them and get in their face!”— Barack Obama, September 2008
“We’re gonna punish our enemies and we’re gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us.”— Obama to Latinos, October 2010
“I don’t want to quell anger. I think people are right to be angry! I’m angry!” Obama on ACORN Mobs, March 2010 “We talk to these folks… so I know whose *** to kick.“ — Obama on the private sector, June 2010
“If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun,” - President Barack Obama”
“Argue with neighbors, Get in their face!,” - President Barack Obama”
“If you get hit, we will punch back twice as hard,” - President Barack Obama”
“I don’t want to quell anger. I think people are right to be angry.” - President Barack Obama”
“Punish your enemies”- President Barack Obama”
“We talk to these folks… so I know whose *** to kick.“ - President Barack Obama”
“I’m itching for a fight.” - President Barack Obama”
“Hand-to-hand combat” - President Barack Obama”

Re: Radical comments.
Inflammatory? Not in the least! Really!
When such statements are made from a 'left' leaning individual or group it is simply giving notice that they strongly disagree with folks who hold to differing points of view: Allow the government to assume more power and authority to control the lives of its citizens and everything will turn out just fine, trust me!
However, when such statements are uttered by anyone who leans more to the 'right', it is taken as a public declaration that they advocate the killing of all who oppose them: Take away their weapons and silence them, and then we can allow some 'regulated' free speech.
Allowing these radical expressions of opposing points of view just create distrust in the government, discontent among the people and even promote violence (expressed hate), and must therefore be suppressed for the good of all of the people.
Shades of 1776.

In case I left anyone wondering - yes, I am a right wing conservative and my comments were 'tongue in cheek'.

Re: Radical comments.
Over the last 20 years, there has been more violence towards other people coming from the right-winged extremists than the left.
Still, my fellow Republicans won't admit it and they won't admit that the nasty rhetoric some people on the right spew have any effect on the likes of Loughner and other angry white people.
Yep, I bring race into this because race has a part in this discussion.
There were jokes a few years back about the "angry white male".
People weren't laughing after Oklohoma City.
They're not laughing after Tuscon.

Not too long ago, the President was being criticized for not being forceful in his rhetoric.
Truth of the matter, you are quoting from the President as he has responded to the onslaught of nastiness from the right that started long before he ever said any of the stuff you have quoted him.

So it's okay as he was just responding? That's the whole point of this thread, I think. We all need to watch what we say, especially those in positions of power. We as a nation are very violent and hateful in our rhetoric, and we reap the consequences. I think however that President Obama has shown remarkable restraint. I cannot imagine how hard it must be for him to sometimes guard his tongue. And I can say the same for our former President Bush.
But of course we have freedom of speech, and we don't want to lose that right.
