Tea Party not to blame in Rep. Giffords' shooting
 The Illinois Tea Party Patriots' website’s home page asked for people of faith to pray for Arizona Representative Gabrielle Giffords, the six Victims who were murdered, the injured, and their families. It also requested that we pray for the safety of all elected officials, including President Obama. Giffords was shot in the head on Saturday while hosting a “Congress on Your Corner” get together in front of a store in Tucson, Arizona.  The shooting was a tragic and se...

A rush to judgment in Arizona
Image by Getty Images via @daylife Howard Kurtz: ... This isn't about a nearly year-old Sarah Palin map; it's about a lone nutjob who doesn't value human life. It would be nice if we briefly put aside partisan differences and came together with sympathy and support for Gabby Giffords and the other Victims, rather than opening rhetorical fire ourselves.At least there are some in the media who are acting responsibly. It is too bad they are underrepresented. Related articles Staffer: Palin Rheto...

Tucson Shooter and the Violent Rhetoric in the "Communist Manifesto"
Liberals who have attempted to exploit the tragedy in Arizona for political gain by trying to connect Sarah Palin to the shooting should be ashamed of themselves. At this point, we have more reason to blame the revolutionary writings of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels for what happened....

Yet in a YouTube page believed ...

Yes, it is a fact that Kelly was supported by the Tea Party movement. Yes, it is a fact that Immigration is a major political issue in Arizona. All of those facts that were fed into online reports and T...

Breeding Men Who Riot
James Delingpole of the London Telegraph does not mince words: “The Arizona shootings were like Kwanzaa come early for America’s liberal fascists:” How sick do you have to be to start making political capital out of the killing of six people including a nine-year old girl, long before anyone has the remotest clue what the murderer’s motives were, or his political affiliations, or his state of mind? Not sick at all, to judge by the response of so many US Tweeters in the imme...

GOP Senator: Rhetoric Needs To Be Toned Down After Giffords Shooting
No official motive has been given for the shooting in Tucson, Arizona that left six people dead and 14 others, including Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, wounded, but many are looking to the heated political Rhetoric prevalent on Talk Radio and Cable Television as at least a contributing factor.

"There is a ...

What did we learn from the Arizona tragedy?
After reading all the blogs and newspaper articles yesterday and today about the tragedy in Arizona, I feel as though everyone is having the same argument they did back in March and April of 2010 that was rehashed from years before. In other words, they're regressing, instead of what we should be doing--progressing. As Nicole Coulter at Conservatives 4 Palin writes, "As Victims still fight to survive, and as families mourn, we who love and support Gov. Palin feel dual pangs of sadness. We w...

Arizona shootings: Will Barack Obama stand up to the Lefts shameful exploitation of a national tragedy?
Some hot-headed figures on the Left have wasted no time in exploiting the barbaric shooting of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and 17 others in Tucson yesterday, which claimed at least six lives, and using these tragic events as a political battering ram.
