When Speaker Tim Jones hits the right-wing radio circuit, he sometimes forgets that people who disagree with him are listening -- and that he represents a lot of people who don't agree with all of his radical ideas. Here's just a sampling of what the Speaker spewed on 97.1 FM Talk in early August:
“Liberals and the far left...they hate history,and they hate facts."
“The Left Hates Facts, don’t they?"
"The reactionary anarchist left have co-opted the mainstream media."
“Liberals are making a big deal about the [Trayvon Martin and George] Zimmerman case to distract people from the U.S.’s failing economy.”
"Wasn’t this Obama’s plan? The continued Europeanization and socialization of the United States "
“The left wants to redistribute the fruits of the labor”.
"Most of the lynchings in the 1800s were committed by Democrats against Republicans."
