Theme: The left's immediate reaction to the Arizona shooting proves, again, that it will not forgo any chance to exploit a tragedy ("crisis"). Minor theme: In the process, mostly through projection of its own perversions, it is setting records for hypocrisy, irrationality and unfairness.
Politico reported that after the shootings, one veteran Democratic operative said that President Obama should "deftly pin this on the tea partiers. Just like the Clinton White House deftly pinned the Oklahoma City bombing on the militia and anti-government people."
Newsweek's Jonathan Alter similarly wrote, "Can Obama Turn Tragedy Into Triumph?" "Just as Bill Clinton's response to the 1995 Oklahoma City bombings helped him recover from his defeat in the 1994 midterms, so this episode may help Obama change -- at least in the short term -- the trajectory of American politics." Clinton, said Alter, "was able to use the event to ... tamp down hate speech on talk radio."
So here we have Alter bragging about Clinton's egregious smear of conservative radio, which to him equals "hate speech," by suggesting it fueled Timothy McVeigh's homicides and urging Obama to try that same tactic against his critics today.

This is not 1995. Today conservatives have the New Media and the blogosphere. The Left is not going to get away with smearing us again.
They aren’t about to waste it but they are beginning to overplay it.
Obama told supporters today that a Republican victory in November would mean “hand to hand combat.”
The LA Times reported:
Those who have deliberately and falsely accused Limbaugh, Palin, Foxnews, etc., ought to be prosecuted. They need to pay for what they have done. I think they call it libel.
On that, you can bet your ass.
Actually, you are right! Today, these leftist suspects can expel all of their rhetoric with little effect. Isn’t it grand...heh.
Video Flashback: Some of the Left’s Angry Rhetoric

The Socialist Left and it’s Media Lap Dogs think this is going to help their agenda? The already small amount of respect I had for these people is now gone as a result of their actions.
Two words to my Republican representatives; Forget Compromise.
They aren’t about to waste it but they are beginning to overplay it.
I'm half expecting this to turn into a "Paul Wellstone" type of event.
Oberman and Matthews speak ill of Palin everynight. If something ever happened to her or a family member would they be accused of inciting violence against her? After all, their rantings may trigger a nut job to act. Would they be held responsible? They both do exactly what they accuse the right of doing—typical lefties.
They are just getting started.
The memorial rally against “hate speech” to be followed by another round of media assaults on conservatives and then massive pressure to pass anti-free speech and gun control laws.
Oh I think we’re going to see a spectacular display of leftist rage on the coffins of the victims.
Good luck passing them without the house. LOL
“They aren’t about to waste it but they are beginning to overplay it.”
Beginning? Did you say beginning? Like they haven’t been using the same tactics since time immemorial!
The Leftists’ attempt to use the ‘racist’ and ‘bigot’ labels died off really fast. I guess that screening was excluded from the daily White House - Jounolist teleconference.
Good luck passing them without the house. LOL
I think this will be a good test of the House's resolve to stand their ground, even in the face of crowd hysteria about saving our children, as presented by the left.
