Only one problem with your theory... It was obvious to me the media had a left of center bias several years before Fox News even existed. All Fox News did was make it easier to see by comparison.

So, you believe I just made that up out of thin air and that justifies attacking me? Wise up Pete.

What in the hell are you talking about, and why would you ask me that? Why don't you ask them.

You did nothing more than give your opinion. Show me an unbiased source which shares this opinion.

I asked you because there is a simple common sense answer. One you should have, but apparently don't.

Grim, If you want to see where I am coming from I will provide you with this. Please watch all of it, especially the commentary at the end. It's EXACTLY how I have felt for a while now.

Actually, I think this commentary by Cenk Uygur was pretty idiotic...

What a coincidence? The Pasco County Supervisor of Elections Office, Brian E. Corley, just happens to be a Republican, so no wonder he was quick to note that she was a Green Party member. However, she registered in 2008, and there is no other information to verify that she is still a member of that Party.

And did you know that the police report did not indicate any party affiliation?

And, did you know that the Green Party is not the Democratic Party?

And, did you know that the Green Party opposes some of Obama's policies?

And did you know that the regional representative for the Green Party of Florida, said she did not know Martinez from party politics?

So, in spite of your article, we still don't know whether Kaufman's comments really inspired her to do violence or whether she was trying to set Kaufmann up. I guess we will have to wait for more information before making any allegations.

Though the alleged threats were made to a conservative activist, Martinez registered as a member of the Green Party of Florida when filing paperwork with the Pasco County Supervisor of Elections in January, 2008.

But it seems neither side of the political spectrum wants to be associated with her.

Jennifer Sullivan, regional representative for the Green Party of Florida for the southwest quarter of the state, said she did not know Martinez from party politics.

Sullivan said of the party's philosophy, "Non-violent methods to oppose policies with which we disagree is one of our 10 key values, as is a respect for diversity."

When Kaufman told listeners she was stepping down as West's aide, she said she had received death threats since the lockdown and claimed liberal media were bent on bringing down conservative politicians and West.
West said he was glad Martinez was arrested.
"I hope she's charged to the fullest extent of the law," West said. "And if there are any organizations connected to her, they should be pursued, as well."
No political or other affiliations were listed in the criminal complaint.

You could believe, if you want to, that it's because I made a speech in July, but none of that makes sense," she said. "I didn't make a speech in July that caused some lunatic who watches a lunatic left-wing network to do what she did: To perpetrate a massive fraud, a dangerous fraud and an emotionally traumatic fraud."
Before the e-mail was sent to Kaufman, political personalities mocked incoming U.S. Rep. Allen West, R-Plantation, for selecting her as his chief of staff in Washington, D.C. After the lockdown, she declined the job.MSNBC's Rachel Maddow played footage of Kaufman at a July 4 rally saying she didn't care "how this gets painted by the mainstream media," and that she was convinced that "the most important thing the founding fathers did to ensure me my First Amendment rights was they gave me a Second Amendment" right to bear arms.

But Kaufman says the message was bogus. Martinez, says Kaufman, is a left wing liberal.
“I think this was a deliberate effort on the part of someone who disagrees with me to try and create a situation that would damage me,” said Kaufman.
It appears Martinez was incensed with Kaufman after viewing a severely edited and out of context video on the Rachel Maddox Show on the extreme left wing TV network MSNBC.Martinez, of New Port Richey,surrendered to FBI agents near Los Angeles. She is accused of sending the e-mail on Nov. 10. The message went on to say “something big” would happen at a government building in Broward County, maybe a school.
Martinez called the Pompano Beach radio station later that morning and claimed her husband, Bill Johnson, was going to go to a school in Pembroke Pines and start shooting, according to Federal Authorities who said they traced the call.
School authorities responded by placing all 300 Broward County schools with about 275,000 students on lockdown for several hours.

Police noted that “whoever made the threat had been watching the MSNBC show, hours earlier, and heard Kaufman’s words.” As it happens, you don’t even have to imagine it. A few days after Rall’s appearance on MSNBC, Maddow aired video of Florida radio talker Joyce Kaufman speaking to a group of Allen West supporters


In the meantime, the press was quick to make the connection between the threat to schools and Joyce Kaufman. Under a wave of negative press, Kaufman resigned from her position on Allen West’s staff and says she subsequently received death threats.
Eventually, the author of the threatening letter was discovered to be Ellisa Martinez, a member of the green party. In other words, there is a sense in which Ellisa Martinez was just following Rachel Maddow’s lead.South Capitol Street » Blog Archive » Rachel Maddow

Bwahaha! Reps/cons are far too comical.

It was obvious to you the media had a left of center bias because they weren't spewing lies to make the Republicans look good. And, when Faux News came on the scene, it took it way to the extreme right, which only proves one thing. Anyone who thinks Faux News is fair and balanced, is a right-wing extremist.

What is idiotic is Glenn Beck and his stupid assumptions. We know there is an abundance of looney tunes on the right, we've already seen one take action and kill someone because of O'Reilly's incessant rants (Dr Tiller), so it isn't so far fetched to think that someone will actually believe the rants of Beck, and decide to take out Obama.

The mentality of the right has become so uncivilized, we need to brace ourselves for the worst.

Your articles don't prove crap. If Martinez was indeed a Democrat/Liberal trying to make Kaufman look bad, Kaufman wouldn't have resigned her position as West''s chief of staff. Especially after she encourages Reps/cons to use bullets if ballots don't work. Stepping down doesn't sound to me like the actions of someone who is preaching standing up for what you believe even if it means employing violence.

I think the Martinez incident made Kaufman realize that words matter and it scared the pants right off her.

For, your information, the Green Party although considered Liberal does not support Obama's policies. They have spoken in favor of HCR repeal, and consider Obama/Biden the "faux-anti-war" ticket. They claim that Obama's record on military funding, etc., are complicit with Bush and Cheney's. Doesn't sound to me like someone from the left.

Reps lucked out that she happened to be registered with the Green Party, and I don't blame them for trying to use that to discard any correlation between Martinez' and the Tea Party, but you cannot beyond a shadow of a doubt prove that she was a Democrat/Liberal trying to frame Kaufman.

Why are you guys still talking about this? Two no name liberals said something offensive and this thread was made for you to apologize for them? No thanks. I don't apologize for other people.
