I'll give you some credit Jaime, still humping along on the approved story line you guys had ready before Gabby even got to the hospital even days after it's been shown to be false. You, and those like you, are nauseating bottom-feeders who are doing nothing but exactly what you claim the "Right" is doing; demonizing half the country because they don't agree with you and escalating tension. Let's ignore all the facts about the vitrol from the left in America (moveon.org, etc), lets make up facts that Gabby was targeted because she was a Democrat (the gunman has NEVER said that), lets try one more time to blame Limbaugh for all the evil in the world ignoring the rhetoric that comes from Democratic congressmen and media personalities. You're nothing but another partisan hack trying to cash in on a horrific tragedy with the same types of personal attacks you claim the other side used to stir up anger. But hey... you're a liberal so of course it's ok.

Using violent rhetoric fires up people emotionally. It makes them angry and unable to reason...its like rallying a lynch mob to do their dirty bidding! Limbaugh and Palin are two of the in the country worst for using negative violent words against others for their own benefit. People in this country are just sick of it turning into such a negative campaign. You can't even tell what politicians stand for anymore through the dishonest violent hatred filled campaigning. And its ALL parties who do it and its all for greed and money to keep the rich richer and the poor poorer. So many people just want to move to Canada anymore...its just time to get a passport and move to Canada where your tax dollars actually benefit you! I'd rather pay a straight up 40% tax because when you figure our income taxes, sale taxes, auto taxes, property taxes, medical insurance and bills, college tuition and interest paid back on college loans....it is WAY more than 40% of our income to have things many countries provide for their citizens! Capitalism NEVER self adjusts when the people running it work together to keep raping the American public. But to stop anything from benefiting the people, they've used terms like socialism and tied it to Hitler! Making Americans SO against wanting their tax dollars to benefit everyone. Poll people in Sweden and Canada....they are among the healthiest happiest people in the world! Whereas, since the Bush regime American life expectancy has gone DOWN for the first time in centuries as people lose their homes, can't afford medical insurance or medical care. Those facts speak for themselves!

What part of insane do you not understand? How could Rush Limbaugh or Sarah Palin be responsible for him living out an imaginary civil war? Have you listened to his rants, do you know his reasons for doing this? For all you know, he completely disagreed with all conservative ideology and would have pulled the trigger on them given the opportunity. I don't know you and I can can tell that you are a pathetic individual for trying to politically leverage a tragedy, which would have happened no matter if Rush Limbaugh or Sarah Palin existed or not.
