Dem Leader Clyburn Ties AZ Shooting To Sharron Angle Statement
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 01/09/2011 7:06:32 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Citing no evidence that the Arizona shooter had ever heard of Sharron Angle of Nevada or her remarks about Second Amdendment remedies, a top Dem leader has nevertheless tied the shootings to Angle's statement.

Rep. James Clyburn, third in the House Dem leadership, made his allegation on Fox News Sunday today. He began with a general statment, then made a specific accusation.

JAMES CLYBURN: I think that what is happened here is that the vitriol has gotten so elevated until people feel emboldened by this. And people who are a little less than stable, and people aren't thinking for themselves are so easily influenced, they go out and do things that all of us pay a great price for.

Brett Baier, subbing for Chris Wallace, then read to Clyburn a statement from Tea Party leader Judson Phillips predicting that the left would blame the shootings on the Tea Party movement. That didn't deter Clyburn, who proceeded to tie the shootings directly to Sharron Angle.

Clyburn is the one inciting violence against innocent people with his rants.

Exactly right! All of this twisted unseemly rhetoric about who is responsibile for a single madman's actions, solely for crass political purposes, is thousands times worse potential 'incitement' of other madmen, than what Clyburn attributes to Angle here.

Gosh, I'm confused. I thought it was Sarah Palin's fault.

Clyburn is just a typical clueless Dem racist scumbag.

If he'd said anything different (for example, something that made some sense), then I might be surprised.

If any harm comes to Angle because of this moron’s statements, the blame needs to be placed squarely on his shoulders. He should be tried and thrown in jail where he belongs.

“Ignoring the fact that Giffords was a strong supporter of the second amendment, this disgusting bigot dishonors the dead and wounded by lying about the intentions of the killer.”

Dem leader James Clyburn is the new American Racist. He is the Southern early 20th Century Democrat of the 21th Century. These blacks live to hate another race.

Vitriol? If they want to see vitriol, they ought to read some of Bennett’s editorial cartoons in the Chattanooga Times - Free Press!

Thank you. Giffords is a Joan of Arc to the left. We have people on these sites continually saying how pro-gun, pro-life, and moderate she is. She is identical to Grijalva excepting in appearance. But the press down here has always built her into a moderate so she could be elected in a swing district. They did that with Ruth Bader Ginzburg. Some moderate. She was a former ACLU member.

He’s not alone. This is a coordinated effort to push this theory.

When a Muslim shoots up an army base you can’t even mention his religion. But some random nutcase shoots a Democrat and nonsense is becoming fact as long as it is the right who can be blamed.

So vitriol is the new talking point...

While they pretend there no no labels of war criminal for Bush, no movies about assassinations of Bush...no books about assignations of Bush...

So, it was Sharron Angle that prompted this creep to revere the Communist Manifesto?

Angle is a Christian while Loughner complained that he was given a "mini-Bible" by a military recruiter:

On MySpace, Loughner complained that when he joined the military, he was given a ‘mini-Bible’ despite telling a recruiter that he was an atheist.

Don’t expect anything else from the hard corps leftists. Their reactions are completely predictable and have become pretty threadbare. Only committed kool aid drinkers pay any attention to them.

Clyburn is the one who made the false accusations about having had Tea Party demonstrators hurl racist epithets in his direction as he walked outside the Capitol.

Lying POS...
