Fear-mongering and hateful speech have been Republican hallmarks since the Regan era -- and perfected by none other than Karl Rove. Examples you say? Here you go:
And we can end with the brilliant commentary of the Motor City Madman..."I tell people don't kill all the liberals. Leave enough so we can have two on every campus - living fossils - so we will never forget what these people stood for."
- Rush Limbaugh, Denver Post, 12-29-95
"Get rid of the guy. Impeach him, censure him, assassinate him."
- Rep. James Hansen (R-UT), talking about President Clinton
"We're going to keep building the party until we're hunting Democrats with dogs."
- Senator Phil Gramm (R-TX), Mother Jones, 08-95
"My only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times building."
- Ann Coulter, New York Observer, 08-26-02
"We need to execute people like John Walker in order to physically intimidate liberals, by making them realize that they can be killed, too. Otherwise, they will turn out to be outright traitors."
- Ann Coulter, at the Conservative Political Action Conference, 02-26-02
"Chelsea is a Clinton. She bears the taint; and though not prosecutable in law, in custom and nature the taint cannot be ignored. All the great despotisms of the past - I'm not arguing for despotism as a principle, but they sure knew how to deal with potential trouble - recognized that the families of objectionable citizens were a continuing threat. In Stalin's penal code it was a crime to be the wife or child of an 'enemy of the people.' The Nazis used the same principle, which they called Sippenhaft, 'clan liability.' In Imperial China, enemies of the state were punished 'to the ninth degree': that is, everyone in the offender's own generation would be killed and everyone related via four generations up, to the great-great-grandparents, and four generations down, to the great-great-grandchildren, would also be killed."
- John Derbyshire, National Review, 02-15-01
"Two things made this country great: White men & Christianity. The degree these two have diminished is in direct proportion to the corruption and fall of the nation. Every problem that has arisen (sic) can be directly traced back to our departure from God's Law and the disenfranchisement of White men."
- State Rep. Don Davis (R-NC), emailed to every member of the North Carolina House and Senate, reported by the Fayetteville Observer, 08-22-01

Although this response to the original post is not timely, I only recently discovered it and was compelled to answer the Nincompoop who wrote it. This post is typical mealy-mouthed liberal drivel. Liberals never confront their opponents on the issues. They find a few crackpots and publish their foolish utterances as if they are representative of the behavior and ideas of the other side. Rush Limbaugh? He is not an elected official. He is a self admitted "entertainer" whom the liberals fear and loathe as an evil conservative boogeyman, when it is apparent to any casual listener that he can be a partisan blowhard.
The liberal welfare state is crumbling, and it has become apparent that our economy can no longer sustain socialistic entitlement programs. The baboon brained cretin in the White House told the American people that he would stimulate the economy and save the nation by spending our children's tax dollars in advance of receiving them. With a Democratic House and Senate, he got the money, and promptly reverted to the character of a corrupt Chicago politician, and used hundreds of millions of American taxpayer's dollars to pay off his political supporters.
Barak Obama's demonstrated lack of intelligence, judgment, experience, and intestinal fortitude has rendered him unfit to serve honorably as President. Like Jimmy Carter before him, Barak Obama's primary claim to fame will be that his administration was so incompetent, that he set the liberal cause back twenty years. What an ultramaroon.
By the way- there is an "a" in ReAgan.
