This guy's anger was based in psychosis and brain chemical imbalances and was percolating long before anyone outside of Alask knew who Sarah Palin was and even longer before the Tea Party existed. This is yet another "let no crisis go to waste" moment for liberals. It seemed so easy to make their point until those pesky facts started getting in the way - again. If Palin is guilty of anything it is plagiarism for stealing the targeted map idea from the DLC and DCCC, both of which had maps "targeting" republicans. In fact, the DCCC map included photos of the "game", I guess so any crazy people won't make any mistakes and shoot the "wrong" person.
To be sure, it is a terrible tragedy that has been visited upon the victims, their families, and our nation. I have been praying for those people since it happened. Also, I have been praying for the victims and families of the Fort Hood shooting since it happened. It just amazes me how quickly the media pounced on Palin for this yet have still not condemned Islamic extremism for Fort Hood. Which do you think was more influential?
Even so, it WOULD be nice to rid our political discourse of such potentially violence-inducing pronouncements as:
"We have our boot on their throat" - Bobby Gibbs
"We have the opponent in the crosshairs" - Sarah Palin, thousands of upper-management employees of American companies, and countless coaches at all levels of athletic competition
"[big]Government isn't the solution to our problems. Government IS our problem" - Ronald Reagan (for some reason this seems to be considered by many an inflammatory comment so it is included here)
"If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun" - Barack Obama, and some guy in a Chicago gangster movie
We need to open our eyes and realize the daily propaganda war being waged against the conservative, freedom-loving, God-fearing people of our society. The left are constantly reporting with a "holier-than-thou" twinkle in their eye distorted and abridged stories while conveniently "forgetting" the rest of the story that makes them look as bad or worse. I really don't begrudge them their right to do it, freedom of speech and all, but when it is ABC, CBS, sometimes CNN, and always NBC and MSNBC doing it, I'm sick of their whining about FOX. It just reeks of hypocrisy.
