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...

Tea party group fundraises off of Giffords shootings
Stay classy, Tea Party:
Tea Party Express raising money in aftermath of Arizona shooting
The Tea Party Express, a California-based conservative political action committee, sent out a letter to supporters Monday requesting donations in reaction to Saturday’s shooting at a political event in Tucson, Arizona that claimed six lives.
“It is quite clear that liberals are trying to exploit this shooting for their own political benefit, and they used deception and dishonesty to try and sme...

Andrew Klavan writes about The Hateful Left
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
Calls for softer tone in politics gets cool reception
By Ed Stoddard
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....
PAPER: America's elite hijacked massacre to take revenge on Sarah Palin...
On a sunny Saturday morning outside the local Safeway in Tucson, Arizona, a man pulls out a powerful Handgun, opens fire - and engulfs the U.S. in a political firestorm. Six people were killed on Saturday, including a nine-year-old girl. But it was the fact that the target was a Democratic congresswoman - who is fighting for her life - which has sparked such a furious row, not, as one might expect, over the nature of America’s Gun Laws, but over the vitriolic nature...

Insanity Defense Difficult for Loughner
Jared Loughner's mugshot. (CBS) (AP) WASHINGTON - In an earlier time, the emerging portrait of a deeply troubled young man might have given Jared Loughner's lawyers the basis of an insanity defense. But John Hinckley's successful insanity claim after shooting President Ronald Reagan led Congress to raise the bar, making the task harder. The Justice Department has not said whether it will seek the death penalty against Loughner, the suspect in the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and the dea...

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

In the wake of the tragic shooting in Tuscon, Ariz. that left six dead and 14 injured, including Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, Fox News President Roger Ailes is saying that his network and others in politics and the media need to "tone it down."
In an interview with Russell Simmons, published today by Simmons' website Global Grind, Ailes addressed the tragedy and the partisan Rhetoric some say is to blame for the incident.
Ailes to some extent defended...
Pic of the day: The overheated rhetoric of the Tea Party that lead to Arizona shooting
These Tea Party folk are unhinged. Oh, did I just say tea party? I actually meant these guys (via moonbattery):
Anyone recall anything even remotely similar to such things at tea parties? Yeah - me neither. And I've documented a whole lot of them here on this blog. Plus, from Instapundit: "DEATH THREATS AGAINST BUSH AT ProtestS IGNORED FOR YEARS."Also from Michelle Malkin: The Progressive “climate of hate:” An illustrated primer, 2000-2010

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...

The exploitive rhetoric of tragedy
Some see no problem with fueling a mass panic over our 'political discourse' and using the deadly actions of a twisted soul as an excuse to tell political opponents to shut up. After all, unlike Sarah Palin's absurdly infamous Facebook map with crosshairs on Congressional Districts that some pundits have blamed for the violence, we have some evidence — suspect Jared Lee Loughner's own words — that these books were a direct influence on him. And to listen to partisan ghouls such as Ke...

Dem Rep - Don't Use Term "Job Killing" In Obamacare Repeal Bill
Here we go, from Democratic House Rep. Chellie Pingree of Maryland, writing at HuffPo (emphasis mine), who claims that the ObamaCare Repeal bill must be renamed in the wake for the Gabrielle Giffords shooting:
As I write this, the motivation behind the shooting of my friend Gabby Giffords and eleven others isn't clear. We don't know what prompted the shooter to show up at Gabby's Congress on Your Corner at a Tucson Grocery Store with a semiautomatic pistol and the motivation to kill innocent pe...
Criminalizing Politics Delay Sentenced to Three Years for Money Laundering
Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay has been sentenced to three years in Prison for a Money Laundering conviction.
Ralph Reed explained last week how this is a case of criminalizing politics.
The facts surrounding DeLay’s conviction are a yawner for those operating in the world of political Fundraising. Texas, like 22 other states, prohibits corporate contributions to state Candidates, though political committees can use those funds (known by the shorthand of “soft money”) for adminis
