Congresswoman Shot
thibodeaux wrote:Palin To Blame.
Tea Party Queen, Sarah Palin, in a shocking display of violent extremism, targeted Democratic Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords for defeat by putting the Congresswoman in a rifle crosshairs graphic on her SarahPAC website.
Positively "shocking." How could anyone permit such things?

The leftie sites have been pushing this HARD overnight. Palin's facebook was hammered with people calling her a murderer. Her site admin must be tired this morning.thibodeaux wrote:Palin To Blame.

Coach: "Ok team, I want you to go out there and murder 'em! Rip em up! Show em no mercy!"
Two days later, opposing team member dies in a hit and run.
The Left: "The coach used angry rhetoric and it is his fault."
Nah, sounds stupid in that circumstance, too.
This situation illustrates to me that lefties are as dishonest as I've always thought they were, and that Palin Derangement Syndrome is a very real thing. There seriously needs to be a study.

"Two Sicknesses on Display in Arizona."
There needs to be a study. This shit is sick.
The first and most serious is the sickness living in Loughner's head. Evidence in the form of farewell videos, internet postings, and the recollections of people who knew him reveal a profoundly disturbed person who had veered far into a paranoid world. Loughner's complaints about government mind control and other rants were not "anti-government" in any political sense, but anti-government or anarchist in the Ted Kazynski-deranged sense. We do not know Loughner's motives, but those motives whatever they were were the byproduct of Loughner's clearly delusional view of the world.
There also was a second sickness on display, and it was the swiftness and the vigor with which the left-wing blogosphere and some more mainstream Democrats immediately sought to blame Sarah Palin and right-wing "vitriol" in general for the shooting.
Within minutes of the shooting being made known, two of the highest profile left-wing bloggers, Markos Moulitsas of DailyKos and Matthew Yglesias of Think Progress, pulled out a 10-month-old electoral map used at a Sarah Palin website showing almost two dozen congressional districts being targeted, including Giffords' district. The map was similar to one used by the Democratic Leadership Committee to target Republicans in the prior election cycle, and as Howard Kurtz points out, simply typical of campaign rhetoric using military-themed language.

Little different analogy than a gun. Or as a marine you were allowed to run around and point your weapon at whatever you felt like. Even a human.GORDON wrote:Coach: "Ok team, I want you to go out there and murder 'em! Rip em up! Show em no mercy!"

Never point a gun at someone unless you plan on using it. Simple hunting 101. Even if it is a target on a map people know what that infers and I think it is a fucked up thing to do.
I would say that no matter who did it. D or R or some fucked up individual on the street.
When it was done to Osama I applauded it because I think it should have been done.
In marriage there is always one person right. And the other one is the husband.
If you can demonstrate where Sarah Palin literally pointed a gun at her head, or even suggested that anyone needed to be killed that is more than a little target on a political map that was to, you know, target weak districts in an election, I will concede the point.

Holy crap, look at this dangerous rhetoric. The President is very clearly advocating murder.

No. HELL no.
Rep. Robert Brady, D-Pennsylvania, said he will introduce legislation making it a federal crime for a person to use language or symbols that could be perceived as threatening or inciting violence against a Member of Congress or federal official.
Brady's decision to offer the legislation comes less than 24 hours after a gunman attempted to assassinate Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Arizona, in a shooting that claimed the lives of a federal judge, and a nine year-old girl, among others.
It's not me, it's someone else.
The minute I heard about this shooting the first thought I ad was: "This is going to cost the taxpayers a lot of money AND more freedoms."

Been following the story today.
I think this event is a litmus test. The people who don't know the facts less than 24 hours after it happened, and are spewing this "It's Palin's/Tea Baggers's/right-wing-rhetoric's" fault.... are the extremists. Nobody ever claims or admits to being an extremist, but these people are. Admitting that shit is the first step to fixing it.
There are a lot of fucking leftie extremists on the net.

I think he may just want a press release saying that rather than the annoyance of actually doing it. This pretty much outright kills their claim to being the "free speech" party if it gets close to reality.

What you are talking about is a game. A gun scope is not a game. People don't point scopes at things because flowers pop up out of the ground and bunny rabbits chase butterflys.
If you can demonstrate where Sarah Palin literally pointed a gun at her head, or even suggested that anyone needed to be killed
She didn't but what she did she did maliciously. Funny how they yanked down that site with the targets today. Blamed a contractor for not doing it sooner. Couldn't be the public opionion is going bad against this kind of rhetoric.

In this case, "public opinion" is a bunch of fascist, politically correct bullshit.
"Angry political rhetoric" doesn't get my panties in a bunch in spite of how the left is using it as a tool today.
But fuck it... what's a little less free expression? You know this means we can't burn political leaders in effigy any more, right?

Apparently all my leftie friends have all the time in the world to facebook, cuz I rarely see conservative political opinion on it.
