NY Tea Party Leader: Arizona Shootings Deplorable

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...

The narrative of the hateful left
The Murder of six people, the shooting of twelve more, including Congresswoman Giffords, and the politization of the incident: 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...

Chris Matthews: Hardball: Tea Party Under Fire Over Arizona Tragedy
Below is the video and transcript of my interview with Judson Phillips, founder of Tea Party Nation. If people on the right and Sarah Palin and so forth are responsible for all of this and this vitriolic Rhetoric is so pitched, how come this isn't happening every day? Why is it the vast exception to the rule? There's no logic in any of the assertions they're making. None. Chris Matthews: That was Rush Limbaugh responding to the Giffords shooting and overheated Rhetoric swirling around. How doe...

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...

NBC News Guest: Obama Was Born For This Moment
This is your lefty ‘Obama butt-kissing' moment of the day. Politics Daily's Melinda Henneberger says that, in the wake of the tragedy that occurred this weekend when our country needs to heal, that Obama was born for this very moment: This is the moment that he was born for. He has campaigned on and talked all along about the need to take the Toxicity out of the discourse about how we have to be able to talk to each other without questioning one another's motivations. So I think this could...

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 A WHOLE lot more at the link. ...

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
