VIDEO: Gabrielle Giffords Talked About Sarah Palins Target List
Incredibly eerie in retrospect. Here’s what Gifford said on March 25, 2010… “…for example, we’re on Sarah Palin’s targeted list, but the thing is that the way that she has it depicted has the crosshairs of a gun sight over our district, and when people do that, they’ve gotta realize there are consequences to that action.” This was in response to Giffords’ door being shattered by somebody after the Palin target list popped up. And here’...

Can Breitbart learn to laugh at himself?
Probably not.  Humor is not given much value -- or leg room -- on the right. The Hill reports: Daily Kos founder Markos Moulitsas tweeted this early Saturday: "Mission Accomplished, Sarah Palin." The tweet included a link to Palin's target map. Kos also recycled a clip of Giffords reacting to the map on MSNBC, where she warned Palin of potential consequences to such visuals. "The way that she has it depicted, has the crosshairs of a gun sight over our district,"...

Remember This? Of Course Not.
In case you happen to be Facebook friends with a women’s studies Professor, the content of whose latest posts we can only guess, ask her to remember the years 2002 to around 2007. This was the run-up to the Iraq War—its planning, execution, and escalation. These years also just so happened to coincide with an era of extended dementia, an orgy of the most vile, childish, callous work of the Activist Left, a time when violent radical Rhetoric reached its most rabid masturbatory peak. Rem...

High court turns away appeal from birther leader
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court has rejected an appeal from a lawyer who has been in the forefront of the challenge to President Barack Obama’s Citizenship. The High Court on Monday did not comment in refusing to hear the appeal filed by California lawyer and dentist Orly Taitz. She was contesting a $20,000 fine for filing what a Federal Judge determined was a frivolous Lawsuit. The suit was filed on behalf of Army Capt. Connie Rhodes, who sought to avoid Deployment to Iraq by cl...

Get Progressively Trained
As someone who has been involved somewhat in the punditry circuit (for lack of a better term), I have been asked by progressive friends what I think is needed for the Left to compete with the Right, not so much in the war of ideas, as idea distribution. To begin with, we need people who can confidently promote progressive values on television and radio. While the last decade has seen the creation and expansion of progressive Think Tanks, Air America Radio (an incubator of such talent as Rachel ...

Flashback of the Day
"I mean, this is a situation where -- I mean, people don't -- they really need to realize that the Rhetoric and firing people up and, you know, even things, for example, we're on Sarah Palin's targeted list. But the thing is that the way that she has it depicted has the crosshairs of a gunsight over our district. When people do that, they've gotta realize there's consequences to that action." -- Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ), in a MSNBC interview earlier this year. ...

The Blood of Eden
Pollock's "The Deep" I caught sight of my reflection I caught it in the window I saw the darkness in my heart I saw the signs of my undoing They had been there from the start So many American bodies are sprayed with blood, their own, their lover’s, their mother’s and father’s, their brother’s and sister’s. Oh we are so certain of our innocence, but we are a nation tattooed in crimson, eyes to belly, with Jackson Pollock’s The Deep. We called it a N...

PICK YOUR FALLACY: EITHER PALIN IS TO BLAME OR EVERYONE IS TO BLAME Look, it's not as if I'll shed a tear if Sarah Palin continues to take heat for including Gabrielle Giffords on her crosshair map -- she's gotten away with so much poisonous Rhetoric for so long, Rhetoric that's actually harming the country, that a wave of genuinely bad press coverage that she can't dodge or explain away would be karmically appropriate. And yet I continue to suspect that she had nothing to do with the Tucson s...

Some Brief Thoughts on the Tuscon Shooting: Left Shows Intent by Capitalizing on Arizona Attack
by the Left Coast Rebel Two days ago, Right Klik alerted me to the Arizona shooting that left a congresswoman in critical condition, six dead -- including a Federal Judge -- and thirteen injured. As we talked on the phone, I asked him if our Leader would take advantage of the shooting and try to pin the incident on the right, à la Bill Clinton in the 1990s and the Oklahoma City bombing. Well, give it time for the Obamanation, but his media-henchmen sure did a knockout job over the weekend. Be...

Clarence Dupnik, Arizona Sheriff, Criticized By Sen. Jon Kyl Over Shooting Comments (VIDEO)
WASHINGTON -- Some of the most pointed comments in the wake of Saturday's tragic shooting in Arizona regarding the dangers of vitriolic political discourse have come from Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik, who said his state has "become the mecca for prejudice and Bigotry." As a consequence of speaking out, Dupnik is now coming under attack, with a Talk Radio host even calling for his Resignation. "When you look at unbalanced people, how they respond to the vitriol that comes out of certain ...

A HORRIBLE MOMENT, AND THE BLOGOSPHERE IS MAKING IT WORSE I've been away from computers since yesterday morning and I learned about the Arizona massacre from the Sunday print New York Times. At that point I really didn't want to get online, because I knew what was coming, and I was exactly right: the shooter is mostly crazy and, though clearly influenced by angry right-wing Rhetoric, in a political gray area. Our side is essentially Keith on the Shooting

Kathleen Parker's Days on Parker Spitzer May Be Numbered
Photo: CNN CNN is considering replacing Kathleen Parker on Parker Spitzer, according to the Wall Street Journal. The network is struggling to increase its rapidly declining evening audience, and Parker Spitzer hasn't been able to significantly build its audience since it debuted three months ago. CNN currently trails Fox News and MSNBC in Ratings throughout the evening. At an investor conference last week, Phil Kent, chief executive of CNN parent Turner Broadcasting, said: "We still think that...

Would You Let Your Son Be A Princess Boy?
This popular post was first published on January 3, 2011. In times past, if a person exhibited persistent delusions, doctors and scientists would try to cure the person of their delusions. A person who saw themselves as an animal or a different gender or a different person needed to be cured of their delusions and made to accept reality: that a human is not really a rabbit, that a boy is not really a girl, and that Joe Smith down the street is not really the president of the United States. In ...

Egypt Threatens to De-Gift Giant Central Park Obelisk
Photo: Hulton Archive/Getty Images Over a hundred years after Egypt gave New York a 71-foot-tall ancient obelisk in "an attempt to cultivate trade relations between the two countries," the country has decided it might want it back, even though we're pretty sure it's ours now. The condition of Cleopatra's Needle, which has sat in Central Park since 1881, recently caught the attention of the Secretary General of Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities, Zahi Hawass. According to a letter he sent t...

Fair and Balanced Fox News abruptly cuts away from Tucson vigil after mourner mentions Sarah Palin
The Fox News Channel abruptly cut to commercial after a mourner attending a Tuscon, Arizona vigil for those killed in Saturday's shootings mentioned Fox employee Sarah Palin as one of the culprits behind a rising tide of violent Rhetoric in US politics and media. As they awaited the beginning of a Pima County Sheriff's Department Press Conference, Fox News host Shep Smith cued a live video from the vigil for Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ), who sustained a bullet wound to the head and was amon...

As I was saying.
These people are not patriots, they are crazy. Believe it or not — I slept through this one. I’ve been sick here the last few days. Ny-Quill and much sleep. Anyhow, Fox News, MSNBC, and CNN are all reporting about the shooter in AZ. HotAir.com also has an excellent round up, as does Memeornadum. You can expect that Fox News and the rest of the liberal media outlets will spin this as left or right. Truth is, it is neither — it is our sick media driven society that is causing th...
