Parents of Injured Kids Respond to Rightwing Attack
This item updates item 'The Right Vs 12 Year Old Boy'

A 12-year-old boy named Graeme Frost read a statement supporting the expansion of the SCHIP program during the Democratic weekly radio address. When Graeme and his sister Gemma were recovering from a near fatal car accident, the CHIP program helped his family with medical bills.

Rightwing bloggers -- lead by bigwigs Rush Limbaugh, Michelle Malkin, and Mark Steyn -- responded by demonizing the Frost family, aided and abetted by staffers in Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's (R-KY) office who encouraged rightwing bloggers to spread lies about the Frost familys income.

An anonymous poster at freerepublic.com posted the Frost's phone number and home address online. Michelle Malkin bragged about driving past their house to guestimate its value. A poster at redstate.com said, "Hang 'em. Publically. Let 'em twist in the wind and be eaten by ravens. Then maybe the bunch of socialist patsies will think twice." The Frosts have been getting harassing phone calls and death threats.

    - Last August someone fired a bullet through the window of a liberal radio station, nearly killing a talkshow host.

    - Another progressive radio host had to get his windshield replaced. His mechanic pointed out that he had three bullet holes in his car.

    - On Sunday night liberal talkshow host Randi Rhodes was badly beaten while walking her dog. She wasn't carrying a purse or wearing jewelry so this doesn't appear to be a standard mugging. Some think she may have been attacked for political reasons.

    These people are pandering to lunatic fringe element who are willing to act on their violent hate rhetoric. If they keep it up, somebody's going to get killed."

  • LIBERALISM 101: Whenever a need to promote the liberal/COMMUNIST agenda arises it is important to use "UNTOUCHABLES" to present the information so that the debates that arise from such idiodic idiologies do not focus on the facts presented, but on the heartlessness of the so called "ATTACKER". If a family can afford a $400,000 home they can afford healthcare period. I fear the day that the government takes "CONTROL" of healthcare, because anything that the governmen More..

  • Right wingers are a contradiction, they claim to be religious and moral, yet whenever given a chance to prove it, they balk. They slander good people and prop up those who rig the system and profit from misery.

  • I do not see any problem with the cold hard reality of posting their address to their upper middle class home when they are claiming to be below the poverty line. They are the ones who brought that on themselves when they decided to lie just to get their way. I do not think they should have posted their phone number though.
