Maybe it is time for the 'silent majority' to make some real noise. It seems the socialist progressives are more than willing to be hypocrites... calling for an end to violent political rhetoric while engaging in the same. Don't we still have 'incite to riot' laws on the books? Maybe it's time for the gander to get what's been good for the goose.
Democrat urges unions to 'get a little bloody when necessary'

Sometimes it's necessary to get out on the streets and "get a little bloody," a Massachusetts Democrat said Tuesday in reference to labor battles in Wisconsin.
Rep. Michael Capuano (D-Mass.) fired up a group of union members in Boston with a speech urging them to work down in the trenches to fend off limits to workers' rights like those proposed in Wisconsin.
"I'm proud to be here with people who understand that it's more than just sending an email to get you going," Capuano said, according to the Dorchester Reporter. "Every once and awhile you need to get out on the streets and get a little bloody when necessary."
Political observers have been the lookout for potentially incendiary rhetoric in the wake of January's shooting in Tucson, Ariz., where Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D) survived an assassination attempt, six were killed, and 12 others were injured.

Whats amazing is that this is even a story. It is high time that people quit being so juvenille and recognize a figure of speech for what it is.
