For what it's worth, "vitriol" in the mouth of a Leftwingtard always means "anything a Republican might say".
If you say "I love babies", Leftwingtards will call that "vitriol".
Now, for the other term ~ it's "Jewish". Something like 8 people got shot, 2 of them now reported as dead, 1 is Jewish and so is the Congresswoman. I usually think it's quite normal to examine any apparent assassination attempt against Jewish person to see if there is a "Jewish angle" to the event.
Apparently "Jared" may also be Jewish ~ or a whole bunch of people think he is ~ but so far that hasn't been relevant to the discussion ~ until you get to the fact the Congresswoman "may be Jewish". There's a lot of consternation on that part because her mother isn't Jewish! (NOTE: That actually doesn't matter when it comes to questions of anti-semitic attacks on people with Jewish forebears because anti-semites don't really care).
What we do have is that a lady who believed herself to be Jewish and who is a member of Congress was SHOT by a Leftwing nutcase! She voted for someone other than Nancy Pelosi for Minority Leader.
There are Democrats who don't want any Jews in Congress to stray from the reservation ~ and earlier last year the most famous "reservation jumper", now Majority Leader Eric Cantor, was subjected to a couple of violent acts including a bullet fired into his campaign office.
I think there's some meat in the anti-semitic angle and I do hope they can find the folks who used this kid to shoot that member of Congress.
Something seemed off to me in the reporting of this yesterday- compared with other awful moments we’ve seen play accross our screens. I haven’t put my finger on it yet- but I kept having this sense of something being very different.
I switched to CNN and even some MSNBC when I couldn’t deal with Shep anymore..and “it” was everywhere.
The few times I could get onto FR I kept seeing these bizarre headlines- Jane Fonda condemning the right, Krugman blaming the right, WaPo blaming the right, the sheriff of Pima County blaming the right.
All vitriol, all the time. FROM THE LEFT.
Up is down, black is white...
I’m acquainted with anti-semites..they come in a variety of colors, shapes and sizes. A peculiar bonding of otherwise disparate people.
It’s interesting you mention the Cantor thing. I don’t recall the media blaming the dems for their anti-GOP/anti-Bush/anti-conservative rhetoric and stirring up violence. They just ssaid “nothing to see here, this guy is just a total loon”. Well, the same thing happened here, unfortunately this guy was able to do something and not just make threats.
