Don't Blame the Gabrielle Giffords Attack on Overheated Rhetoric

Reader Comments
Back to blog

The ruling Tea Party militias know that the leading Christian patriots Sarah Palin and Gabrielle Giffords, like Ronald Reagan and John Kennedy, serve the American People by the sacred laws of their God and Country.
And they know that the failed attempts to blame the Tea Party militias, Palin and other leading social and economic Conservatives for this assassination attempt on Giffords' life are intended to instigate fear and distrust of the popular social and economic conservatives, who are seizing political control of the House and Senate.
Everyone in World knows that this failed assassin, Jared Loughner, is a Neo-Marxist Jew, whose has listed the "Communist Manifesto" as one of his favorite books. As such, he has been much inspired the notorious rhetoric of such zealots as Abaham Foxman, Ben-Ami, Simon Greer, the insidious lobbyists of National Jewish Democratic Council, the Israel Lobby, and their Neo-Marxist propagandists in the news media.

Practical of OH: "Here are just a FEW quotes found in just a few minutes. Find ANYTHING nearly as vitriolic on the left. Come on. I want to see it."
Okay.
Roland Martin:
"Obama’s critics keep blasting him for Chicago-style politics. So, fine. Channel your inner Al Capone and go gangsta against your foes. Let ‘em know that if they aren’t with you, they are against you, and will pay the price."
David Bourgeois:
"You've given it your best shot, you've tried numerous times to talk with the Republicans, to negotiate, to meet them halfway on every single matter before the American people. But they hate you for many reasons. It's time you break kneecaps. It's time to destroy the Republican Party. They don't deserve a seat at the table when all they want to do is score political points by being the Party of No."
Ted Rall:
"...no meaningful political change has ever taken place without violence or the credible threat of violence."
Dylan Ratigan:
"Are things in our country so bad that it might actually be time for a revolution?" Ratigan asked. "The answer obviously is yes," he added, and "the only question is how to do it."
Frances Fox Piven:
"An effective movement of the unemployed will have to look something like the strikes and riots that have spread across Greece in response to the austerity measures forced on the Greek government by the European Union, or like the student protests that recently spread with lightning speed across England in response to the prospect of greatly increased school fees."
Oh, let's forget quotes and get right to the action:
New Black Panthers voter intimidation (2008 election)
More New Black Panther ranting: "You want freedom? You gonna have to kill some crackers"
SEIU raid on a "Union-busting union"
SEIU beating of Kenneth Gladney
Oh, heck... let's just look at the 9,000+ violent acts committed by unions since 1975

Or, for a really nice summary of leftist violent rhetoric:

Take your hypocisy and shove it.

Your quotation, "I think that these folks have been so mislead that there is no turning back, and no way of intelligently refuting their misinformed nonsense through the course of conversation".
Please explain to us, the reason Obama sealed all of his personal records per his VERY FIRST EXECUTIVE ORDER #13489?
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2304500/posts
No other "president" in the history of the United States has done this.
Yes. Please tell us your "viable" explaination!

What is truly disgusting about this is how the left couldn't wait for the bodies to get cold before trying to take political advantage. I mean a nine year old girl is dead and that doesn't make them take pause? Do they hate Sarah Palin so much that they will even stoop this low? It says far more about the character of the lowlife politicians using this tragedy than it ever will about her.
The most ludricous thing about this whole affair ids the murderer as described by people who knew him would hardly be expected to have seen Palin's website let alone take orders from her.
It's funny that when conservatives blame the media for social ills the left attacks and ridicules them.
Leave the first admendment alone, this wasn't yelling fire in a theater.

Birthers, there is something to be scared of !!! I thought movie of Bush's death was more scary. Fort Hood shooting ignored by liberals.
Nov. 2 elections will continue for folks don't like what barry and super majority Democrat Congress did...

Bill Hedges of MO 9:28PM January 10, 2011

To assume that the radio hosts and news commentators will cease using violent rhetoric is naive. I had to travel to New Mexico and Arizona 3 to 4 months a year since 2008 om business. I reside in California and call it home. In the SW I often heard folks scared to death of " Death Panels", Obamas settlement camps, Obama not being a citizen, Obama being Muslim and a terrorist,ect.
Once, at an Applebees in Artesia, N.M, I tried to explain to some Tea Partiers that Obama was not the Anti-Christ, but the couple admantly explained to me that thier Reverend told them that Obama was the Anti Christ.
I think that these folks have been so mislead that there is no turning back, and no way of intelligently refuting their misinformed nonsense through the course of conversation.
I am a vet who fought for my country, and the current state of open bigotry and misinformed rhetoric that currently exists in this country truly frightens me.

The heated rhetoric probably serves as an escape valve if anything. We have had more and more heated arguments over the last thirty years but we have not had more and more violence. In fact, if you take the time to check, you will see we have had less violence. Most of the violence occurred before the internet and cable news and before we had Rush and other conservatives on the radio. All of this provides people an access for their frustration. I can tell you I personally become very angry when I watch CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC. It is these alternate sources of news that gives me hope and makes me feel positive about being an American. It angers me when I hear a fool like that Arizona Sheriff make some outrageous comment, but it isn't long before my conservative friends nail him and show him for what he is, a partisan hack. This is what this country is about. Thank God we have these outlets or this country would pull apart at the seems!!!

No wonder you think Bush caused recession. barry ignored polls against obamacare. Why pelosi and barry never explain obamacare. Why Nov. 2.
You face more Nov. 2. Your agenda faied with the people and now you go nuts with this tragedy...

Bill Hedges of MO 8:13PM January 10, 2011

I like the right wing saying that Hitler was a commie cause the official name of his party was the Nationalist Socialists. They were financed by the corporate and industral barons in Germany. (Sound like a political party in this country?) The Nazis (Nationalist Socialists) were in league with big business and gace big business slave labor.

Ralph of IN 7:53PM January 10, 2011

were you the brainiac who wrote John Boehners remark that the Health Care Bill would be akin to 'Armaggedon' and that Ohio Rep. Steve Driehaus could be a “dead man” (if he voted yes the Health Care Bill)? Boy that's a good way to drag the unstable religious mental cases out of their caves.
Your guy Boehner joined the teeming hordes of right wingers in making veiled (and not so veiled) threats against the progressives of this country.
Did you ever think about the possible result? Or were your people too concerned about the 'Win' to be concerned that some loon would think the right wing politicians and media were giving them sanction to commit violent acts against liberals or democrats?
There are thousands of headlined articles archived on the internet voicing concern about the violent rhetoric of the right wing toward the left over the past 10 years. And I haven't heard anything but minimizing, denial and excuses from the whole lot of you.
