Markos Blames Palin for Giffords Shooting—There’s Just 1 Problem: Kos Put a Bulls Eye on Giffords

Markos Moulitsas, doing the “Right Wingers Are Responsible for This Violent Act!”

Naturally, putting a bulls eye on someone isn’t actually violent rhetoric. Stuff like this is just invoked by soulless ghouls to make a cheap political point. If you want actual violent rhetoric, you’d have to to go . . . well, Kos himself:

That said, I feel nothing over the death of merceneries. [sic] They aren’t in Iraq because of orders, or because they are there trying to help the people make Iraq a better place. They are there to wage war for profit. Screw them.

Now that’s violent rhetoric!

UPDATE: Let me be triply clear in case you somehow missed the point: the post does not actually blame Kos for encouraging the shooting. The post blames Kos for being a smear-artist douchebag for blaming Palin for the shooting.

It’s not a subtle distinction . . .

UPDATE x2: Paul Krugman joins the army of scumbags who blame this on Palin while ignoring the identical behavior from Kos.

Typical douchebaggery.

I have an interesting theory about this Markos fool..it took him less than FIVE minutes after the shooting to bring up Sarah’s “Take back the 20” poster..here is my question, did ANYONE here after the shooting think for ONE second to connect the two..of course not..but Markos did, in fact, he already had that flyer on hand..why did he need it..here is my theory, he KNEW something like this would happen, he knew what those idiots had posted on his site two days before the shooting, so he tries to divert attention away from himself and his sick site and puts it on Sarah Palin..someone should investigate his site and see if the shooter ever visited it..what that fool wrote two days before the shooting was some pretty hateful stuff, perhaps the shooter used it as motivation
