Talk Show Host Calls for Mass Killing of "Birthers"

Remember when Rush Limbaugh got the liberal gauntlet treatment for daring to say that Sandra Fluke was a "slut" for wanting her sex life subsidized by the taxpayers? Obama called the poor little girl up to encourage her and then put her on the podium at the Democratic convention. I agreed that Rush's language was over the top and an apology was appropriate, but how come being liberal means never having to say you're sorry?

Have you heard anybody demanding an apology from liberal talk show host Mike Malloy for attacking Craige McMillan over his World Net Daily column saying Obama is ineligible to be president? Disagreeing with McMillan's position is one thing, but Malloy made disgusting slurs about McMillan. He also used God's name in vain saying "god**** birthers" should get in a circle with rifles and all shoot on his command. Somehow advocating mass killing of those with whom you disagree is perfectly legit for liberal talk show hosts. Where are the libs demanding "civility" and calling for apologies?

Using "Civility" to Silence Debate

It is, in fact, a liberal policy to accuse anyone who disagrees with a liberal position of "incivility" and intolerance. That done, the liberal follows up by calling names and demanding punishment for the perpetrator of the "incivility." Fr. William Miscamble, a professor at Notre Dame, pegged the falseness of the incivility gambit in an article in the Irish Rover last October. As an example, he used the response of some Notre Dame professors who attacked Bishop  Daniel Jenky of Peoria and demanded his ouster from the Notre Dame board of trustees after he wrote about the Obama administrations's assault on religious freedom. Here's that particular section from Fr. Miscamble's article, but I recommend you read the rest:
