According to a Boston Herald<\/em> report<\/a>, a relative of murderous University of Alabama-Huntsville professor Amy Bishop described her as a far-left political extremist:<\/p>\n

“A family source said Bishop, a mother of four children – the youngest a third-grade boy – was a far-left political extremist who was ‘obsessed’ with President Obama to the point of being off-putting.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Admittedly, we cannot muster the gastrointestinal fortitude to continuously monitor the silly MSNBC triumvirate of Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow, but weren’t the Tea Partiers<\/em> the potentially violent political extremists, according to them<\/a>?\u00a0 The trio repeatedly manages to locate the proverbial needle-in-a-haystack Tea Party protester<\/a> carrying a distasteful “Obama = Hitler” placard, and they constantly suggest a sinister proclivity toward violence amongst those who actually treasure the Tenth Amendment and concepts of federalism.<\/p>\n

We certainly won’t hold our collective breath awaiting Matthews’s, Olbermann’s or Maddow’s hard-hitting expose on the danger of violence among “far-left political extremists,” even though that perfectly describes Lee Harvey Oswald himself.\u00a0 But it might be a nice change of pace from their usual unicorn-chasing and suggestions that the Tea Party movement is merely cover for a return to slavery<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
