Blame gunman, not rhetoric

The left's political dirt ball
On Feb. 15, 1933, Giuseppe Zangara, delusional and a loner, fired his .32-caliber pistol at FDR in the Bayfront Park area of Miami. Five feet tall, Zangara could not aim over the crowd. So, he stood on a folding chair and was piled on after the first of five shots. He wounded four people, including Mayor Anton Cermak of Chicago. In two weeks, Zangara, who pleaded guilty, had been sentenced to 80 years. When Cermak died on March 6, Zangara was retried for Murder and sentenced to the electric ...

Liberals now seekban on metaphors
After the monstrous shooting in Arizona last week, surely we can all agree that we've got to pass Obama's agenda immediately and stop using metaphors. At least I think that's what the Mainstream Media are trying to tell me. Liberals instantly leapt on the sickening massacre at a Tucson political event over the weekend to accuse tea partiers, Sarah Palin and all Conservatives who talk out loud of being complicit in Murder by inspiring the shooter, Jared Loughner. Of course, to make their cas...

Obama: Don't turn on each other
TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — Summoning the soul of a nation, President Barack Obama on Wednesday implored Americans to honor those slain and injured in the Arizona shootings by becoming better people, telling a polarized citizenry that it is time to talk with each other "in a way that heals, not in a way that wounds." Following a Hospital bedside visit with Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, the target of the Assassination, he said: "She knows we're here, and she knows we love her." In a memorably dramatic...

Obama calls for an end to 'sharply polarised' US

Photograph: Jewel Samad/AFP/Getty Images Barack Obama has appealed for an end to the "sharply polarised" debate that has consumed American politics in recent years and provided the backdrop to the aftermath of the bloody Assassination attempt against a congresswoman in Tucson. Speaking at a memorial event i...

Fox News Panel Praise Obama Speech, Question Uproarious Crowds Reaction
The first impressions in light of President Obama’s Speech at tonight’s memorial for the Victims of the Arizona shooting, and, at least on Fox News, the reviews are overwhelming positive. Charles Krauthammer , Chris Wallace , and Brit Hume seemed a bit uncomfortable with all the hootin’ and hollerin’, but all seemed blown away by the President’s words. For Hume, the President’s greatest achievement during the Speech was rolling with the punches- “t...

Iran's Role in Collapse of Lebanese Government May Serve as Warning for Iraqis
Jan. 8: Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr gestures during his first public appearance since returning from nearly four years of self-imposed exile in Najaf, south of Baghdad, Iraq. Even as observers blame Iranian influence for the collapse of Lebanon’s Coalition Government Wednesday, the mullahs in Tehran seem to be extending their reach into the fledgling government in Iraq. When Moqtada Al Sadr landed in the southern Iraqi city of Najaf last week after three years of self-imposed exile, he w...

Bad Irony Alert: The Blood Libel on Palin Resulted Has Resulted in an Unprecedented Increase of Death Threats Against Palin
Hey media, maybe you will get your wish and someone can assassinate her, right?  As we sit here tonight we learn that Sarah Palin is getting unprecedented levels of threats against her and her family: An aide close to Sarah Palin says death threats and security threats have increased to an unprecedented level since the shooting in Arizona, and the former Alaska Governor’s team has been talking to security professionals. Since the shooting in Tucson, Palin has taken much...

Backlash Grows Over Palin's 'Blood Libel' Claim
Sarah Palin's use of the loaded phrase "blood Libel" is attracting more attention and condemnation as the day goes on. The former Alaska Governor used the words to describe the claims of critics who said Palin deserved some of the blame for the Arizona shootings because of her fiery Rhetoric and her target-marked election map that put the sights on Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.), among others. But the phrase most often refers to an anti-Semitic myth that's been used to justi...

Thoughtful, On-Target Palin Responds To Attacks; Left Loses Last Grip On Reality
I know, my use of the term on-target makes me a vitriolic, hateful Rhetoric espouser in the eyes of some. It’s not conducive to the “new tone” we are all supposed to embrace for some unfathomable and delusional reason. Of course, this new tone doesn’t apply if one is speaking about Sarah Palin, who is apparently the cause of All Bad Things Ever, in perpetuity. Even here, we are on day three of no school due to snow. In South Carolina. Does Palin’s evil reach have no...

Democrat colleagues see Giffords open eyes
A trio of female politicians was visiting shot US congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords in an Arizona Hospital when she opened her eyes for the first time on Wednesday. House of Representatives Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi of California, Debbie Wasserman-Schultz of Florida and Senator Kirsten Gillibrand of New York had come to show support for Ms Giffords, who was gravely wounded in a Mass Shooting in Arizona on Saturday that claimed six lives and wounded 14. They were in the Arizona Democrat's hos...

In Arizona, Obama Appeals To Our Better Angels (The Nation)
The Nation -- At his best, Barack Obama is a leader who appeals to our better angels, who rode to the White House on a campaign of “hope.” Nowhere was Obama’s empathy more needed, and more appropriate, than in Tucson Wednesday night. “If this tragedy prompts reflection and debate, as it should, let’s make sure it’s worthy of those we have lost,” the president said. He led by example in a powerful, emotional and poetic address. He consoled not only thos...

Obama Finds His Voice, MSM Still Lost
If you missed the Tucson Memorial tonight , you can read President Obama’s Speech here. It was a very good speech, very well delivered. I was watching it and monitoring twitter at the same time, and saw many judging the Speech to be his best since the election. I think I agree with that. I recall being disappointing with Obama’s Inaugural Speech, and even some of Obama’s biggest supporters have complained that he sometimes seems too detached from his words or surroundings, but ...

Obama Speech May Have Undercut Federal Charges For Killing Of Judge Roll
Undoubtedly an honest mistake, but the way Obama characterized Federal Judge John Roll’s appearance at Rep. Gabrielle Gifford’s campaign event may undercut the federal charges filed against his murderer Jarred Loughren: It may have been inadvertent, but a passage in President Barack Obama’s Speech to a memorial service it Tucson Wednesday night could undercut a criminal charge Federal Prosecutors have leveled at suspect Jared Loughner for the death of U.S. District Court Judge ...

Tucson Tragedy Will Happen Again if We Aren't Serious About Mental Health
Rep. Gabrielle Giffords didn't know she had a stalker, though she knew that she was being threatened after her Tucson congressional office was vandalized in the wake of her vote in favor of Health Care reform. She didn't know that several people had expressed concern about the mental stability of her constituent Jared Loughner, who had, according to reports, become obsessed with her to the point of writing notes about his plans to hurt her, or worse. While some people were worried about Loughner...

Officers stopped suspect on day of shooting...
TUCSON, Ariz. – A wildlife officer pulled over the suspect in the Assassination attempt against an Arizona congresswoman less than three hours before the deadly attack, authorities said Wednesday as they pieced together more details of a frenzied morning. Jared Lougher ran a red light but was let off with a warning at 7:30 a.m. Saturday, the Arizona Game and Fish Department said. The officer took Loughner's driver's license and vehicle registration information but found no outstanding warr...

Art of War, Media Messages, and Conservative Terrorists
The debate rages on, and thanks to media spin and constant false equivalencies, at least one poll has 57% of its respondents rejecting any possibility of inflammatory Speech having any influence over Jared Lee Loughner's actions on Saturday morning. Welcome to the confluence of media echoes and denial. It was predictable, this la-la-la response. Kneejerk, even. No one wants to believe that words can influence, because that would require individuals to own their own words. God forbid. This is tru...

Charles Krauthammer on progressive nuts going crazy over Blood Libel Have we completely lost our minds?
Charles Krauthammer on progressive nuts going crazy over “Blood Libel” - ‘Have we completely lost our minds?’ Ok. I admit it. I haven’t even heard of “Blood Libel” before today. I guess progressive liberal nuts are just superior to me (again) in knowing what such a term was. That being said, after getting completely destroyed in their argument that Jared Lee Loughner was somehow a Right Wing Extremist, Left Wing nuts have now latched on the Sarah...

Require youths to listen to Rush
I know how to save the nation from this violence caused by people who do not watch Fox News, do not know who Sarah Palin is and who do not attend Tea Party rallies. Make them listen to Rush Limbaugh. I got my idea from Rush Limbaugh’s commentary today: RUSH: This morning on Good Morning America a portion of an interview Ashleigh Banfield did with Zach Osler, who is a High School friend of the shooter Jared Loughner.  Ashleigh Banfield: “What was his motive in Saturday’s atta...

On PBS, New Yorker Editor Equates Obama 'Freezing Out' Fox News with Building a Civil Discourse
On Tuesday night's Charlie Rose show on PBS, New Yorker editor (and former Washington Post reporter) David Remnick equated Team Obama's attempt to demonize and "freeze out" Fox News Channel with a campaign to create Civil Discourse. Demonizing equals civility? CHARLIE ROSE: Do you think that the president had an opportunity that he did not seize in order to make a real contribution to the civil discourse that we`re talking about and to exhibit those things that he spoke about a...
