NBC’s David Gregory worries protesters are one step away from Oklahoma City bombing, Obama calls for civil discourse

Civility … Nuance. Just much too much in one short sound bite. NBC’s David Gregory wonders if protesters are budding Tim McVays … Obama calls for civil discourse (I’m sorry?) and then says protesters just want TV time ( I know, I know) …

Welcome FoxNation readers. Thanks for stopping by, why not check out the rest of the site, and remember that Jim’s online and on the radio from 9 a.m. to noon ET weekdays!

We start with …

We have examples of anti government violence in the mid 90’s .. do you worry about that?. There’s more recent examples of antigovernment violence— occurring even in the mid 90s.  Do you worry about that?

Yup … those grandmas and grandpas and housewives I saw … no question … I can see the link between them and Tim McVay. Scary.

My favorite part though comes at the end. The one says middle American is just trying to get on TV … while he is calling for civility. Gregory’s response is priceless.

And while we are on the subject of civility Mr President … how’s this for civility?

    After having watched all the videos, it makes me wonder, why is it that President Obama and NBC's David Gregory are worried about new " Tim McVay's" coming from the ranks of everyday Americans who protest against over spending and massive growth of the federal government when both the Speaker Of The House and former President Jimmy Carter have spoken in uncivil tones?

    Also about this blog entry, I have Jim just posted it today at Free Republic, but had to shorten the title in order to get the article posted on the FR's site. FR will not accept very long titles so at least to forwarn you if you decide to click on the URL. :)=^..^=

    Talking points from the Obama media bunker 9/13. Racist, rude, neo confederates on the edge of violance. They are damn right we don't have any class. The middle class is getting butchered by Obama's march to fascism. The low class is growing in nubmers. Obama knows we are angry . He said it in his State of the Union speech. Obviously he does not care. Our civility has been taken for granted far too long while sinister government policies continue to break the covenant between government and its people. Oh and that race card you keep charging now has a balance of 12 trillion dollar. You want to charge another trillion for healthcare to the race card and enjoy civil obediance from the people you opress? No! This cold civil war will get MORE personal.
