Quotes of the Day

"We should, a bunch of us, go there and repeat the Democratic Convention from Chicago. Like, let's just cause a bunch of trouble!"

Roseanne Barr, on liberal talk radio network Air America, April 28th, suggesting that leftists should ignite riots at the Democratic convention in Denver

"There's even a leftist group called "Recreate 68" building up the rioting nostalgia.

"Recreate 68" is no joke. It is trying to draw a raucous crowd: "Join us in the streets of Denver as we resist a two-party system that allows imperialism and racism to continue unrestrained." These troublemakers live to get arrested.

Is it newsworthy that Recreate 68 is talking about real violence at a national political convention? The Fox News Channel thinks so. The local media in Denver have covered this as well. But CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, MSNBC? Not a peep. Nothing in Time, Newsweek, US News, The Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, USA Today. The New York Times had a mention, at the bottom of an article. "Recreate '68" is a concept they just don't want to acknowledge. None of these outlets noticed Roseanne’s comments, either."
