"You can't cut that any differently."
Oh really? Then why do you suppose the remarks were edited to remove the exhortation to vote?

On that...
Speaking of change, my favorite part of the Hoffa story is the leftÂs defense that he was talking specifically about voting when he called for taking those tea-party Âsons of bitches out. ThatÂs super, but the whole point of the Ânew tone demagoguery after Tucson was that intent doesnÂt matter. Go re-read PalinÂs Facebook post from March 2010 showcasing the crosshairs map that the media would make famous 10 months later. Sample quote: ÂThis is just the first salvo in a fight to elect people across the nation who will bring common sense to Washington. Elections. Voting. And yet it didnÂt matter to our liberal betters after Giffords was shot; the argument then was that the political Âclimate in America had become so heated that it was irresponsible to use violent rhetoric or imagery even in service to a perfectly pedestrian nonviolent call for voter turnout.
