Violent Rhetoric Can Lead to Tragedies Like Arizona Shooting
David Brock is CEO of Media Matters, which tracks and corrects conservative misinformation in the media As we learn more about Jared Loughner, the young man allegedly responsible for the tragedy in Tucson last weekend, it seems clear that he is a mentally unstable individual whose motivations for committing such a horrific crime remain unknown. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't have a conversation about current political discourse and how it has gone too far. It is a conversation Media Matte...

John Dingell (D-MI) blames Palin, GOP for rhetoric leading to AZ shooting. Flashback: linked tea party to KKK, called radio talk
By now, many have already seen this Dingell diatribe on the floor of the House via TPM: Curiously, Dingell said: "I saw the district of Gabrielle Giffords has a crosshairs put on it. As a lifetime rifleman and shooter, I know what crosshairs signify when you put them on somebody and I know what happened.Is he talking about Palin or Daily Kos? The liberal Daily Kos put a bullseye on Giffords in 2008 (via HillBuzz): More from Henry Payne at The Michigan View: Dingell just accused Palin as an acce...

Political Discourse and the Tucson Shootings
Should the tragedy in Tucson, Arizona, where Rep. Gabrielle Giffords was gravely wounded in a Shooting Spree that left 14 injured and six dead, become a "teachable moment" about hate and polarization in American political discourse?  Yes—not because of the shooting but because of its aftermath. First there was the blame game on the left, with New York Times columnist Paul Krugman and others jumping with indecent haste to pin the shootings on right-wing and Tea Party Rhetoric. In fact, the gun...

Palin: Maximum Sarah Saturation Begets the Hillary of the Right
It is time for Sarah Palin to sit quietly for awhile,  at least a few weeks, and let others defend her.   It is time for her to let things “settle” in Tucson, because the shooting had nothing to do with her.This is not turning the other cheek that I speak of, it is to let the opposition find something else by not giving them anything more.   Every single “slight” that is published against her does not require a response from Sarah Palin FacebookCentral...

Sarah Palin Reveals the Real Victim of Tucson : Sarah Palin
I hope not to have to spend too much time on this topic.   I’ve already said my piece, the data stands on its own.   I am going to point out some of the inadvertent arguments a few pundits have brought up to disavow any responsibility for this tragedy, and how they make a really strong for argument taking some. After this shocking tragedy, I listened at first puzzled, then with concern, and now with sadness, to the irresponsible statements from people attempting to...

Will Democrat Doug Schoen Follow His Own Advice And Tell Fox News To Tamp Down Rhetorical Excess?
Fox News Democrat Doug Schoen appeared on America Live yesterday (1/1/3/11) to discuss whether or not President Obama’s Tucson Memorial Speech would end the “blame game,” as FoxNews.com put it. I doubt any of our readers would have trouble guessing who Fox News is blaming for the “blame game.” Schoen, who always seems more eager to cozy up to Conservatives than he is to advocate for Democrats, has not only overlooked Glenn Beck’s over-the-top Rhetoric, Schoen ...

Mayhem in Tucson VI: Sarah Palin and Bloody Libel
As Dan Friedman ominously wrote, They are sick people who are using blood Libel to have her killed. The whole blood Libel Controversy may be nothing more than a subterfuge. It's not inconceivable that demonizing virtually everything Palin does and says is a calculated, despicable effort by the left to inspire and instigate an Assassination attempt. How's that for tolerance and healing, Mr. Obama?...

Is Sarah Palin really 50 cent? or LeBron James?
Allow me to clarify the obvious race and sex differences before you write me off as certifiably insane. If you're familiar with hip hop music and/or the NBA, you should be able to deduce that Fiddy and Bron Bron are both black and male; but they're also enormously wealthy, entourage enabling lightning rods, which is where the Sarah Palin comparisons come in. Fiddy is reknowned for surviving 9 bullets from a would-be assassin at close range. Sarah Palin has survived many more in a figur...

America's Worst Governor
I thought for sure this title would easily go to Jerry Brown in California, but I think it will probably be won going away by former RINO Lincoln Chaffee in Rhode Island When Talk Radio hosts use harshly divisive language, "The advertisers should shut them down," Governor Lincoln Chafee said this morning. Chafee said the solution to the vitriolic Rhetoric -- which some have linked to the shooting of U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords over the weekend -- is for people to stop paying for it, including ...

By Emily Badger Miller-McCune Academics Link Violent Rhetoric With Violent Acts In the wake of Saturday's attempted Assassination of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, partisans have been quick to point fingers. Partisans have been quick in the wake of Saturday’s shooting in Tucson, Ariz., to point fingers, and to...

A House Divided, and Other Presidential Speeches About the Jews
In the video statement she issued this week, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin accused the media of Manufacturing a “blood Libel.” Her choice of words quickly became the story—”blood libel” refers to the cruel and absurd medieval belief that Jews used the blood of Christian Children to bake matzo. Many wonder how the gaffe will affect Palin’s future, with USA Today asking, “Will Sarah Palin’s use of the term ‘blood libel’ hurt her chan...

Sarah Palin 1 liberal democrats 0
Sarah Palin got dragged by the mainstream press in the Gabrielle Giffords tragedy. She was accused of somehow being responsible for Giffords’ shooting as well as the other Victims harmed in the incident. She was thousands of miles away.  She never personally targeted Giffords. She basically had absolutely nothing to do with this incident. Despite these facts, she was used  as a scapegoat and blamed so unfairly that it was obvious to a majority of  Americans. Only 28% of Adul...

Colby Hall Hires Guy Who Wants To Bone Sarah Palin To Diagram Sentences For Mediaite
Thin-skinned future Bieber biographer Colby Hall saw an opportunity to do something more important with his Mediaite doodlepage than their usual “Anderson Cooper: Hot or Not?” polls so he decided to get someone with an extensive background in textual analysis, narrative, and Rhetoric to contrast and compare President Obama’s Tucson Speech with Sarah Palin’s Borscht Belt video comedy short and tell us what the hell they were talking about. After striking out at the blood...

A day with Fox News
Scott Stinson, National Post · Friday, Jan. 14, 2011 Shortly after Barack Obama delivered his address at the Arizona memorial service on Wednesday night, the cable-news pundits weighed in. It was “remarkable and extremely effective,” one noted. “[The President] behaved,” another said, “with considerable dignity and grace.” These plaudits were not exceptional on their own — Mr. Obama rarely gives a Speech in which his oratorical skills are not salute...
