Well no, it’s not. “Just as responsible” indicates equivalence. We speak far more casually of sharing blame for unwanted occurances.

Furthermore, if it were that phrase that stuck in MF’s craw, he surely would’ve used it in the ‘toon. Fact is, he’s making stuff up.

Must not be talking about the Obama media. The one owned by GE and the Apostle Immelt that sits at the right hand of the annointed one and has GE execs positioned to become very wealthy if cap and trade is shoved down our throats. Funny how Fox is demonized for being “biased”, yet never any talk about NBC. Wonder why?

Your point one: nice thesis. Be interesting to find out if it has a basis in fact.

Point 2: You serious? Granted, you used the phrase “just as responsible” so if there’s a cite that says ‘responsible’ but not ‘just as’ or ‘as responsible’ but not ‘just as’ is that okay? How about:

[[KEITH OLBERMANN: Finally tonight, our number one story and the very serious, very unsettling part the Fox News Channel played in the assassination of Dr. George Tiller, a horrifying realization that a television figure can be a facilitator for domestic terrorism

This was underscored, proved even, today when a man named Frank Schaeffer wrote for the Huffington Post that, as a former member of the anti-abortion, activist far right he believes he, quote, "shares the blame for the murder of Dr. Tiller," as we believe here does Fox News Channel. ]]

Is ’shares the blame’ close enough?

you still want to make the absurd argument that liberals are more tolerant of those who don’t hew to party line.

Of course not only did Jay not ever say that, or anything especially like that, but it wasn’t even the point of his post, which mikey seems to have completely missed, covering as it did the prospects for GOP success in 2010 if they continue eating their own like this.

Thanks for your “guess” and your opinion.

1) contrary to what’s implied in the ‘toon you’ve linked, I have every confidence that the southern-sympathizing press c. 1856 did, in fact, hold abolitionists and their rhetoric responsible for John Brown’s gang-banging; and

2) I challenge you to find any TV broadcaster using the words “just as responsible” to describe O’Reilly and his pro-criminalization ilk’s culpability in Dr. Tiller’s murder. (some stray blogger, a letter-writer? sure. But nobody that an armchair observer is going to hear from a TV broadcaster, no.

(I used to think MF stood for something else, but in this ‘toon’s case, it’s Massive Fail.)

They start their own business like I did kenny. How about you? (I know, I know, it’s likely a complete waste to even attempt to engage a rude boor like you.)

So here we have yet another one of these Johnny-come-latelies to a conversation (the corporate destruction of capitalism in this instance) who, try to take it hostage by going off the red herring deep end about pensions.

Brilliant. Scintillating. Erudite.

“You are just another democrat that does not understand basic economics.”

Just another democrat? Man. Had you an inkling of what I have written here for many, many months you would fully understand, as the rest of us do that you, obviously have no idea of what you write. But have no problem blustering away like an unknowing fool…

But that is pretty obvious from the rest of your writings…

Well, they appeared to be at one time. But not anymore.
