Clyburn blames conservative rhetoric for Giffords shooting (Rat blames Sharron Angle, Tea Party)
McClatchy ^ | 2011-01-09 | James Rosen

WASHINGTON -- Rep. Jim Clyburn on Sunday said Sharron Angle's endorsement of "Second Amendment remedies" in her losing Nevada campaign against Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid contributed to the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.

Clyburn, the House assistant Democratic leader, said of Giffords' alleged assailant, Jared Lee Loughner: "It seems like this gentleman was not satisfied with the way the election came out. "There's no way you cannot make that connection (with Angle's rhetoric) unless you want to be stupid."

Somewhat off-topic, Obama, in his remarks, mentioned Gabby and said: “she was a friend of mine.” This is shortly after he said she was injured (and by implication alive). He had hours to get something ready, and they still goof it up?

Okay, is it Sarah Palin’s fault or Michelle Bachmann’s or Rush Limbaugh’s or Glenn Beck’s or Sharron Angle...?

That will be determined daily by the toss of the official "blame dart".

Clyburn should know that we will not be made the scapegoats for this tragedy. And we will continue to speak up. He’s already branded his political opposition as “racist”, which is one of the things which poisons the political atmosphere. The problem is that some politicians will spread falsehoods, if it helps their cause.

Clyburn is the Democrat disaster in my state. Lindsey Graham is trying very hard to be the Republican disaster in my state. Like having two large boils on your rear.

Rep. Clyburn (Jerk-SC) continues his shark-jumping rhetoric.
I see no reason to ever host this “Most-High of African-Americans” on a news or opinion show again.

And I read that Jared had worked on Gabby’s campaign, how does that make him upset about the result of the election?

I love the way the leftist politicians and the leftist press are trying to paint the Arizona tragedy as a crisis. They actually feel threatened, not so much by the supposed crisis itself but by the sentiment America is developing against the left.They seek to deflect that sentiment with the Arizona tragedy, when in fact more statements of violence come from Obama himself ( They bring a knife, we bring a gun), and violent incidents have been perpetrated by the SEIU ( Town Meetings)and by Obama supporters.

( Remember what happended to Louisianna Governer Bobby Jindals chief of fundraising staff Allee Bautsch, who was beaten so hard along with her boyfriend by Obama supporters that both needed reconstructive surgery, because they were wearing Sarah Palin buttons.)[http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2492136/posts] et seq.

Yet the left says nothing of the true context of the violent speech of Obama, Al Sharpton or Michelle Bachman? What a laugh.

These leftist idjits do not fool America one bit. They are desperate and on the way out IMHO. And they know it.

I heard in an interview with Fox News yesterday that Clyburn is also trying to use this tragedy as leverage to obtain special treatment for Congressional members from TSA so they won’t have to go through the groping that we the people must endure. I think America has had about enough of the elitist attitude of Congress.

What about the Republican that was killed? Didn't he count?

Are you kidding? It has been determined that it is okay for liberals to murder Republicans and call for the murder of Republicans. Remember when Spike Lee called for the murder of Bush with a 44 Bulldog? Or when Democrats put a target over Bush on a poster?

The World is turning Upside Down!

Liberals believe in Nothing except their Own Gains and Power on Earth!

Conservatives believe in GOD, doing Good, being Morally Straight, in Freedom and Equality for All and in the Gifts Given by Our Forefathers;AMERICA,Our FREEDOMS and Our National Gifts supported by Our Christian America’s Strengths!

Our National Media has become a Pathetic Replication of Hitler’s Propaganda Machines! Just as we saw in Iraq, Cuba, Russia, Libya, Venezuela and every other TinPot Despot’s Sphere of Influence!

Diane Sawyer, Brian Williams, Katie Colonic are nothing more than High Priced Call Girls doing precisely what they are Told and they dont give a SH*T about America’s Future or Ours!
