I should not have to say that a mass Murder and attempted Assassination by a wackjob who did everything to advertise his wackjobbery short of renting the Goodyear Blimp had nothing to do with political discourse, but it appears I must. Even before we knew Jared Loughner’s name, members of the progressive commentariat and the MSM blamed his crime on the so-called violent rhetoric of Sarah Palin and/...
Look out! Crosshairs, death threats now target birthers, GOP
The American Patriot Foundation has received dozens of threatening phone message, e-mails and letters during "birther" Army officer Terrence Lakin's legal proceedings the past few months, including two letters that view the words "GOP" and "Birthers" through a sniper scope. An APF official claims the threats are inspired by media attacks on people who question President Barack Obama's eligibility to serve in the White House, even as many media figures are attempting to blame the Tucson massacre...
Al Sharpton has more bodies attributable to his speach than Sarah does
It is obviously not just me that is so shocked at the events of Saturday January 8th, oh and the violence against a member of Congress during a meet and greet is shocking too. It has been just over 48 hours now and the speculation on who is to blame for the violence that rang out in a Tucson Grocery Store Parking Lot is still going strong. And if you ask me most, if not all, of the speculated blame seems to be severely misdirected. Even Keith Olbermann who tried so hard to do i...
To Understand Assassination Threat, Look Beyond Tucson
Word of the attempted Assassination of Representative Gabrielle Giffords outside a Tucson Supermarket, which left her in critical condition after a bullet passed through her brain, had barely broken before speculation erupted on the motivations of the man accused of shooting her and killing six others, Jared Lee Loughner, 22. Was Mr. Loughner a conservative or a liberal? What did he think of the Tea Party? How serious was his degree of mental illness? What role, if any, did heated political rhet...
Arizona Shooting Coverage Is a Media Campaign to Criminalize Conservatism
Managing Editor's Note: Media Research Center President Brent Bozell issued the following statement after a thorough, two-day review of how the media have covered the tragic shooting in Arizona. Implicating a conservative tie to this heinous act of violence or to Jared Lee Loughner, who is no conservative, is nothing short of a naked campaign to criminalize conservative thought. Sadly, those who point their finger are at the nexus of hypocrisy. Take the unidentified “Veteran Democratic...
Inside the Beltway
PRAY, HE SAYS
The hypersensitive public discourse on violence, Rhetoric, civility, guns, politics and the press barrels on, 72 hours after the Arizona shootings. With irony intact. Take, for instance, Fox News host Glenn Beck , vilified by partisan critics as an arbiter of hatemongering and aggressive culture, right along with Rush Limbaugh , the Tea Party and Sarah Palin . Mr. Beck - like his accused peers - seems mighty peaceful at this juncture, however. He has issued a challenge to "all Am...
Here, In Reality
A lot of memes are dying a bitter death as more information comes about about Jared Loughner's rampage at Gabrielle Giffords' townhall. Despite dishonest attempts by a corrupt media and their Left Wing allies to blame Conservatives and the Tea Party movement for the shootings, the truth has emerged.
Loughner—according to those who knew him in High School and college—was very liberal when he was younger, but began displaying behavior that became increasingly erratic, and his obsess...

Where incendiary political Rhetoric truly resides in America
Indeed, the Left’s hysterical response to all who disagree with it—that they are Racist or sexist or “phobic” or somehow reminiscent of Hitler—has become so predictable that satirists, from the Libertarian Greg Gutfeld to the liberal Jon Stewart, h

The first reaction of normal Americans upon hearing the news of the horrific Tucson massacre was shock and sadness. Six people are dead, including a Federal Judge and a nine year old girl. A United States congresswoman was shot in the head at point blank range, and is struggling to recover after being initially reported dead. Eighteen people were injur...
Obama to travel to Tucson...
President Barack Obama will travel to Tucson, Ariz., on Wednesday to honor the six people slain by a gunman last Saturday in a Shooting Spree that gravely wounded Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, according to an administration official. Obama, who ordered a national moment of silence in memory of those killed by shooting suspect Jared Lee Loughner at Giffords' "Congress on the Corner" event at a Tucson Shopping Mall, plans to attend some kind of memorial service, the person said. Details are ...
Leftists Attack Parents Of Murdered 9-Year-Old
How low will some people stoop to play at partisan politics by exploiting the weekends tragic events? Weve already seen the bar set pretty damn low by elements of the media and some public officials, yet its hard to imagine how much further anyone can go than to verbally attack the parents of the slain 9 year old Christina Taylor Green . Seeing the couple on Dateline NBC last night, my first inclination was to grit my teeth and ask what kind of parent is ready to go on national...
Jared Loughner, the Face of Deranged, Murderous Evil A Registered Independent Who Never Voted in 2010
Today, deranged gunman Jared Loughner appeared in federal court for the first time since the Arizona Sageway massacre where 6 people were murdered and numerous others injured including US Rep Gabby Giffords. As if this loner screw ball was not deranged enough, he appeared in court today with a shaved head as was reported that he smirked during the proceedings .
“Yes, I am Jared Lee Loughner,” said Loughner, with a freshly shaved head, when the Judge Lawrence Anderson asked
Tea Party Chair recalls the hate speech she endured during her own campaign
Article sent to [email protected] (read the full thing here):
ORLANDO â One of the first things that Peg Dunmire thought of when she heard about the tragic shootings in Tucson, Arizona that critically injured a local congresswoman was the final day of her own campaign for Congress last November. On that single day, Dunmire and her staff and supporters watched uncomfortably as four men followed them from one event to the next.
It was Election Day, and Dunmire
Global Warming Part II: It Really Doesn't Matter What The Facts Are; The Important Thing Is That Our Theory Is Vindicated No Ma
Allah makes a good point that deserves underscoring. Former Senator Bob Kerrey just made the claim that he doesn't know what Loughner's politics are (they're sort of pro-Matrix), and further, that we shouldn't read much into his politics whatever they are.
That said, he's pretty sure it's the right's fault. No one can say what drove Loughner violently mad; but we're pretty confident it's anger caused by the Tea Party at ObamaCare.
Here''s Allah on that:

Shooting response has partisan tinge
Even as congressional officials made a solemn Bipartisan show of unity at the Capitol on Monday for Victims of Saturday’s Tucson, Ariz., massacre, they returned to partisan gamesmanship over the need for a legislative response to the attempted Assassination of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and the killing of six others.
The contrast between official events — a moment of silence in the still, cold morning air on the front steps on the east side of the Capitol; a prayer service in the his...
The Left Never Wastes a Tragedy
Ben Johnson, FloydReports.com
The Left never stands so tall as when it stands upon dead bodies. Whether it is Bill Clinton blaming the Oklahoma City bombing on Rush Limbaugh, Democratic mayors suing gun manufacturers after school shootings in Arkansas and Colorado, Democrats turning Senator Paul Wellstone’s memorial into a campaign rally, or Cindy Sheehan vastly overstaying her 15 minutes of fame, the Left never lets a tragedy pass without blaming it on its political enemies and pushing ...
The Progressive Climate of Hate
From Michelle Malkin:
The Tucson massacre ghouls who are now trying to criminalize Conservatism have forced our hand.
They need to be reminded. You need to be reminded.
Confront them. Don’t be cowed into silence.
And don’t let the media whitewash the sins of the hypocritical Left in theirnaked attempt to suppress the law-abiding, constitutionally-protected, peaceful, vigorous Political Speech of the Right.
They want to play tu quo que in the middle of a national traged
Sarah Palin: I hate violence
On his radio program on Monday, Glenn Beck described an email exchange with Sarah Palin over Saturday's tragedy in Tuscon. Beck said there was no evidence that Jared Lee Loughner, the alleged shooter, was directed by political Rhetoric and motivations. "The media continues to toss blame around but they didn't get it right," Beck said during the program, stating that the media have "no evidence, you don't have the full story, you don't know what's going on!" He mentioned that Palin had reached ou...

From the moment I wake, to my drive into work, to my very work emails, it’s difficult being a conservative and not killing people.
For example, I woke up this morning and turned on the local news, but only to hear about a statewide effort to stop texting and driving. Quote the news anchor, “Police are targeting those that text and drive.” Whoa, I think to myself...

DALLAS | Mon Jan 10, 2011 7:21pm EST
DALLAS (Reuters) - Calls to reset the tone of politics in the aftermath of Saturday's shooting rampage in Arizona got short shrift on Talk Radio and elsewhere as left and right traded blame for the massacre.
From the right, Bloggers and pundits labeled suspected shooter Jared Lee Loughner a "leftist" while critics of conservative super-star Sarah Palin accused her of creating a combustible political atmosphere with her behavior and Rhetoric....

The Lefts Misfire
Attempts by America’s liberal establishment to turn the shooting of Democratic Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords into a indictment of right-wing fanaticism (and of the Tea Party movement in particular) appear to be backfiring badly. For starters, the facts that have emerged so far regarding Jared Lee Loughner - the alleged perpetrator of the Tucson killing spree - suggest that he lacked sufficient mental clarity to have formed anything resembling a rational ideology. On top of t...

Connecticut Claims Public Option Could Save State Up To $355 Million In 2014
The Affordable Care Act does not establish a national public option like many progressive would have hoped, but it does allow states to form their own public plans. Today’s Politico’s Pulse reports that Connecticut is aiming to do just that, and a new report from a state board to the General Assembly argues that such an option could save Connecticut Taxpayers up to $355 million in 2014.

Your Opinions
On Saturday, Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords was targeted and shot in the head during a mass meeting with voters. During the contentious Elections last fall, her opponent, Jesse Kelly, held fund-raisers where he urged supporters to help remove Giffords from office by joining him to shoot a fully loaded M-16 rifle (Page 1A, Jan. 9).
Hate Speech proclaimed by politicians and political pundits riles up the violent to violence. Those politicians and pundits can't escape charges of complicity. Ther...
