Could you imagine the outrage that would pour from Democrats, liberals, Obama, Democratic politicians, the media and even GOP supporters, if a member of the GOP party, a precinct chairman, a member of the state's GOP Executive Committee, proposed mass murder against a group of liberals that supported.. say.. Planned Parenthood (just an example).
My heavens there would be wall to wall coverage and the liberal media would hound the person calling for mass murder until he was removed and completely shunned and alienated from the GOP party.
It wasn't a GOP party leader though and the threat wasn't against Planned Parenthood supporters.
The threat and call for mass murder came from John Cobarruvias, a blogger, Democratic precinct chairman in the Houston area and a member of the Texas Democratic Executive Committee.
"Can we now shoot the #NRA and everyone who defends them?" he tweeted.

Five days ago... plenty of time for the Democratic Party and liberal supporters to have heard, talked about, written about and condemned the direct call for violence. Yet a simple Google search shows conservative bloggers writing about it and a Google News search shows two conservative leaning media publications who have written about it.
As Twitchy caught in all their glory, Cobarruvias wasn't the only liberal calling for the mass murder of NRA supporters.
Cobarruvias apologizes for his tweet, yet his Facebook account also called for mass murder:
Cobaruvvias also posted a message on his Facebook page saying that supporters of the group " need to [be] wiped off the face of the earth."
The NRA has over 4 million members and countless supporters to which Cobarruvias has called for the mass murder of, where is the outrage from the left? Where are the calls for him to step away from any leadership position? Where is the mainstream media?
I guess only direct calls for murdering millions of Americans or subliminal, might-be uncivil, talk that could be considered threatening, justifies wall-to-wall headlines from the liberal media, if it is a conservative or Republican person saying it.
