So start making calls to tone down the bad speech instead of defending it! You certainly are not being the antidote to bad speech! Lol!

I defend free speech. The antidote to bad speech is more speech, not less.

I didn't hear Rick defend hate speech at all. What did I miss?

I disown all hateful and violent rhetoric from both parties. I have no
problem with that. Where do I sign?
Now why don't you stop ferociously defending it? Is it because your party
is looking really bad right now and so the only option is to double down and
defend them even though there is no logical reason for wanting to continue
the hateful and violent rhetoric?
Btw, even Palin took down her crosshairs map. I guess she doesn't have the
backbone to stand by her words.

As I demonstrated, your batshit crazy political party spews hateful

Why don't you disown the democrat party for the same reasons?
because you're a hypocrite.

Look, if you want to be a member of the batshit crazy political party
and spew hateful rhetoric, by all means, go for it. Nobody is going to
trample on your first American rights and stop you. Certainly not on this
list anyway--for every post calling for toning it down, you have 10
responses.
Maybe it is time for you to put away the keyboard and take a breather.
The hateful rhetoric and violent imagery contributes nothing meaningful and
productive to politics. Both sides should use this tragedy as a lesson to
bring it down a notch.

I can't laugh when people argue that only one side is guilty of
inflamed and hateful rhetoric when it's clearly not so. It highlights
what freedom of speech really means to them - free speech for me, but
not for thee.
I don't find it the least bit humorous.

For as long as I've been alive, crosshairs and bull's-eyes have
been
an accepted part of the graphical lexicon when it comes to
political
debates. Such "inflammatory" words as targeting, attacking,
destroying, blasting, crushing, burying, knee-capping, and others
All primary tactics used mostly by conservatives and republicans.
Of course you wouldn't want to tone that down; it works to your benefit.

No it's NOT been used "used mostly by conservatives and republicans".
Janet Napolitano's Homeland Security --of the Obama administration--
has
painted a "suspicion of terrorist" label on:
returning veterans,
people who talk about the Constitution too much,
Ron Paul supporters,
libertarians,
pro-lifers,
independent militia members,
Second-Amendment defenders,
opponents of the United Nations...
And you should see the vitriol I have seen especially reserved for
creationists, pro-lifers, marriage defenders, and so on, one judge
even
accusing the overwhelming majority of Colorado voters bigots
motivated
by an "animus against" homosexuals. HE is the arrogant bigot.
Pro-lifers in California had targets zeroing in on the residences
after
(even before) Prop 8 was passed, and if you had a less selective
memory
you would remember the comments that had Mr. W. in much worse than
crosshairs...
