Conservatives Blame Democrats For Conservative Impeachment Threats

Right-wing media and Republicans are blaming Democrats and President Obama for allegedly "ginning up" the issue of impeachment for political benefit, but that Pandora's Box was opened by conservatives themselves, who have been demanding impeachment since Obama first took office.
In an interview with conspiracy website WND (which has its own "Impeachment Store"), Rep. Steve Stockman (R-TX) told conspiracy theorist Jerome Corsi that President Obama "wants us to impeach him now" because "his senior advisors believe that is the only chance the Democratic Party has to avoid a major electoral defeat. Evidently Obama believes impeachment could motivate the Democratic Party base to come out and vote."
Stockman's proclamation that the president is "begging to be impeached" was quickly trumpeted as the top story on the Drudge Report and Fox Nation, and Stockman isn't the only one trying to pin the increase in impeachment discussion on Democrats. While refusing to answer whether impeachment is off the table for House Republicans, incoming House Majority Whip Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) claimed "this might be the first White House in History that's trying to start the narrative of impeaching their own president."
Fox News America's Newsroom host Martha MacCallum also attempted to distance impeachment rhetoric from the right and pin it on Democrats, claiming that while "some" Republicans have called for impeachment, "The White House itself has been talking a lot about this potential impeachment, even though a lot of members of the GOP want nothing to do with it." 
She continued, saying impeachment was "kind of crazy when you think about it," and dismissed Fox News contributor Sarah Palin's impeachment call, saying "it really gained no traction among Republicans.

anyone who has a radio or TV or a friend or relative who did than you know who started this I word frenzy like they are the ones who started and are still the only ones who bring up all things Nazi.  I think that it hit a nerve when Dems laughed at them and they realized to utter ignorance they present by doing this much like their lawsuit, just as stupid and yet they want to continue it's about creating an asterisk next to his name in history books, again stupid because if there is an asterisk it will be accompanied by the story of their repeated failures to "get him" that culminated into the suit and impeachment, Pres. will be fine republicans in their zeal to take Pres. down they are adding lead to their own self imposed descent.
