…for the next two years, a Democrat congress person will be the most impotent political force on earth. Only a mad leftist would think such a per son to be a viable target. but i repeat myself.

Thanks for the clarity. I forwarded this to Rush, hope there’s a mention along with Eric’s post. I haven’t read any other points of view like these two on the subject of the shooting and the left’s view of who to blame.

are spewing this rhetoric everywhere I look today. This topic dominated discussions on townhall.com, despite the fact that none of the articles dealt directly with this topic. Likewise it is on facebook, twitter, and others.
We expect such chicanery from the trolls, even the lefty blogs, but for the “news media” to engage in this kind of deliberate misinformation, aimed at scoring short term political points…or worse, actively trying to incite violence themselves. This is beyond partisan journalism or journalistic malpractice, this is journalistic malfeasance.
Have we really reached this level of vitriolic hatred? Are our “news” outlets really trying to inspire a civil war? How can any of these organizations justify such behavior?
America, it is evident that forces of political revolution are trying to take advantage of this event to start something they have desired for some time and aren’t thinking of the best interests of the public as a whole, only their ideology. Completely irresponsible and wontan disregard for public safety is the only way to describe this.

“Vengeance is MINE”.

The minute we as human being’s even remotely consider acting with vengeance in mind, we leave ourselves wide open to pure evil. It doesn’t matter how much we justify our actions as a means to some end.

Evil exists in it all the same.

Oh, LUR, I believe that most of us as conservatives are able to keep this truth in mind. I pray that we will, for the sake of our nation. But I have to admit that I wonder some times if our progressive counterparts see the evil for what it is.

The comparison here is awful. Emma Goldman had earlier actually plotted an assassination attempt on a businessman (the plot was unsuccessfully executed by her lover). It was part and parcel of Goldman’s political strategy (specifically her “propaganda of the deed”), and so married to her ongoing pro-anarchist rhetoric it wasn’t such a leap for a student of hers to try his hand at political violence at the highest level. Additionally, Czolgosz had actually met Goldman and had tried to get into her circle (Goldman though he was police spy).

Yesterday’s assassin never mentioned Sarah Palin as far as we currently know, and almost certainly didn’t venture up to Wasilla to get close to her. Sarah Palin of course has no history of attempting to kill anyone, no history of advocating such a thing outside of some common idioms, and instead has embraced omnipresent publicity and supporting primary challenges of moderate Republicans as her main political tactic.

Anyway, I get what you’re trying to do. But Goldman absolutely WAS partially responsible for Czolgosz’s actions in a way Palin was evidently not. So while I think you’re using lefty “heroes” against them to prove hypocrisy that shows Palin’s innocence, I think you’re accomplishing the opposite: the comparison doesn’t work and makes Palin way, way more culpable than she is via the analogy with Goldman/Czolgosz. You’re also excusing Goldman’s words and actions in a way that I disagree with entirely.

There must be 10 million people who listen to them. Yet, by the Left’s logic of lunacy they inspire their listeners to violence. If that were true, one out of 10 million is not much of a success story. Of course, it isn’t true by any measure including that of percentages.

We have also endured a countless stream of talking heads bemoaning the heated rhetoric between Right and Left. Yet, I see no civil war with casualties mounting. Just isolated incidents of minor assault, which, if they were tallied, are instigated by the Left 90%+ of the time.

Listening to the talking heads one would think there were as many battles between Right and Left as there are youth soccer league games.

We actually live in a very civil country. So far.

The left hasn’t displayed such analytical prowess since their brilliant observations on the Duke rape “case”.

Durbin on TV refers to Palin, “putting crosshairs on congressional districts . . . .” but conviently forgets it was Obama, Biden & McCaskill over the last several months who came out with the true hateful rhetoric, practically begging their followers to engage in violence against Republicans.

1) On October 25th on Univision, our wonderful President told Hispanics that they had to “punish” their Republican “enemies”;

2) On October 5, our wonder President said that if the Republicans won control of the House, there would be “hand-to-hand combat” on Capitol Hill;

3) Biden said on October 6th, that he wanted to “strangle” Republicans; and

4) SEN-A-TOR Claire McCaskill said after the election that if the Republicans kept objecting to confiscatory taxes, then it was time to get out the “pitchforks.”

But that’s the Alinskyite approach for Democrats: blame the other side for the very conduct you engage in every day. The Democrat leadership are a bunch of hypocrites. And it appears to have backfired on them: a nut went after one of their own. You certainly got the lion’s share of blood on your hands Democrats.

Meghan Kelley of FOX News, who just forced the Sheriff that accused talk radio of being the perpetrator to admit that that commentary was his POLITICAL opinion. The internet has given this Country that which was lacking for far too long the TRUTH!

Emma Goldman was an awful, awful person. So were/are the vast majority of left-wing anarchists. Right wing anarchists, as crazy as they may be, usually don’t send mail bombs to embassies, assassinate public officials, or toss molotov cocktails in the streets of Greece.

It’s fair to criticize left wing hypocrisy over the target thing, but the target map/rhetoric absolutely should not be defended. It was completely irresponsible, even though it is quite clear that Palin/Tea Party types had absolutely nothing to do with the tragedy in Arizona.

It’s another Joe Stack incident basically, and it’s a shame that the people that jumped the gun aren’t going to be held accountable for their false accusations.

The reflexive pretence of the American word police never ceases to astound.

This instant draw to entirely appropriate uses of “targets” and “target lists” (both words and symbols by Palin and others) without a hint of the type of sermonizing we’ve grown accustomed to with respect to the varied and common bifurcated contexts of words such as “Jihad” is not out of character for modern American Left. Even the hint of intellectual consistency might give them a rash.

For the record, the nuts don’t own the language.

is that “well, no one was actually shot when those were posted, so what’s your point?”
The point is simple; you (leftists) are hypocrites. If ever there was any doubt about where I stood on the political spectrum (which there never has been), it’s certainly been erased by now.

were we the surly cantankerous bushwhackers they claim, then they would fear us. being so cerebral, we are not feared, in a visceral sense, that is. but sulk not lads! we are the political curmudgeons! quick to vengence and impossilble to dissuade, ill tempered and stupid at the polls! and when the 2012 tally is a shelacking of even greater proportions than 2010, then maybe they will shut up!!!

…and J.D. Salinger’s clear culpability in the death of John Lennon. At least these people were actually mentioned by the shooter.

1. Because they can.
2. Because the science is settled.
3. because Republicans are mean spirited.
4. Because Republicans used to whip Negroes. And still whip Mexicans.
5. Because Christians are hypocrites and want to establish a theocracy, abetted by some Jews who don’t know any better.
6. Because America is synonymous with all kind of phobias, not to mention dreams of conquest and domination.
7. Because fairness demands that the constitutional principle of redistributive justice be affirmed in the face of rampant Conservative obstructionism.

These are universal truths. These things are taught in the schools. It is the duty of the press and the television comedians to repeat them as opportunities arise.

convinced one of the Left’s lunatic, commie supporters to shoot a Dem Congresswoman. This guy was sick and Godless and, as such, many on the Left should know exactly the rage he kept inside himself.

The Left is screaming because they know he was one of their own.

The linked Verum Serum article uses the MSM/Left designation of the Unicode Character “POSITION INDICATOR (U+2316) as “gun-sights” (“Granted these are bulls-eyes instead of gun-sights…”). I think we are really walking on thin ice (an apt term here in the South today) when we accept the Left’s terminology without question. We can’t let them set the terms of the “debate”, or we lose. You know, a lie is around the world and all that.

Others on RS have already pointed out this particular egregious mis-use of the Unicode terminology, we have a duty to try and get the truth to catch up to the lie.

These filthy degenerates at the KOS and so forth do the same thing and pretend to be innocent. Is it no wonder why some people even care to read such garbage. Why is Palin making all the news, why aren’t the media focused on KOS and the other dem groups?

The scum at MSNBC have already ranted about Palin on Hardball and Ed Schultz is bloviating the same nonsense. MSNBC needs decency standards as do many lib radio jerkies. Its just like 1995 Oklahoma City bombing. At least Obama had a respectful message in comparison to Clinton’s mistake.
