The mixed up word police!

MoveOn.org is collecting signatures on an online petition. It reads:

"I call for an end to all overt and implied appeals to violence in American politics. We must debate, not hate."

No more shootings, no more hate - In the wake of the mass shooting of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and 19 others in Tucson, we must end the violent rhetoric that has exploded in American politics over the past two years. ∴ That's why we're calling on every member of Congress, as well as the major TV news networks, to put an end to overt and implied appeals to violence in our political debate.

Violent rhetoric has exploded over the past two years? Are they kidding? Those folks at MoveOn.org have short memories or 'selective recall' if they can't remember THIS (follow link, scroll down and check the dates)! --bc
