A leveling of rhetoric

First we have Bill O'Reilly in a love note to San Francisco:
O'Reilly went on. "And if al Qaeda comes in here and blows you up, we're not going to do anything about it. We're going to say, look, every other place in America is off limits to you except San Francisco. You want to blow up the Coit Tower? Go ahead." (emphasis added)
Now O'Reilly isn't alone in this beating up the cities. Here we have Pat "Kill the Venezuelians, particularly their elected President" Robertson commenting on Dover, PA, that wonderful berg that ousted the 'Intelligent' Designers (gosh, an oxymoron). (this is by way of World of Crap via our friend Redjalapeno):"
"I'd like to say to the good citizens of Dover: If there is a disaster in your area, don't turn to God. You just rejected him from your city," Robertson said on the Christian Broadcasting Network's "700 Club."
And then we have Gerald Walpin introducing the governor of Massachusetts, Milt Romney:
"Today when most of the country thinks of who controls Massachusetts, I think the modern day KKK comes to mind - the Kennedy, Kerry Klan. One person who has been victorious against that tide in Massachusetts is Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney." (emphasis added)
I thought these were the guys who were going to be kinder and gentler.

Ha, ha, ha.

(I promised not to be angry. I didn't say anything about sarcastic.)
