Keith Ellison calls out "armed and dangerous" Michele Bachmann after Gabrielle Giffords' shooting
City Pages ^ | 1/10/11 | Hart Van Denburg

It's not at all clear yet that Jared Lee Loughner tied to kill Democratic congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords for political reasons in Arizona on Saturday.

But after the massacre that left six others dead and 13 wounded including Giffords, Democratic Rep. Keith Ellison said he thinks his GOP House colleague Michele Bachmann should tone down her "armed and dangerous" language.

"The political rhetoric has grown increasingly toxic, and making allusions (to) guns and reloading, and armed and dangerous, certainly contributes to a toxic political environment, and does have consequences," he told MPR.

Bachmann, meanwhile, has called Giffords a legislator with integrity, and a friend, and said that her "tears are flowing, and I am stunned and angered" after news that she was shot at point blank range.

Here's the overblown rhetoric that Ellison is talking about:

"I want people in Minnesota armed and dangerous on this issue of the energy tax because we need to fight back. Thomas Jefferson told us 'having a revolution every now and then is a good thing,' and the people - we the people - are going to have to fight back hard if we're not going to lose our country.

yes, but of course. But by golly Keith, when are you going to complain about jihadis planning and advocating mass murder this very day on Americans?

Another nutcase, stupid, anti-American demoRAT spouting the same, tired, worn-out crap. Hey Kieth, if THIS is all you have for America, then resign. Save the taxpayers some money. You are worthless.

I’m so glad these idiots are incapable of controlling themselves. They’re way overplaying their hand and will get burned.

If the Rats could, they would enact an “Enabling Law” to silence all opposition.

Yes, Keith the muzzie. You know, from the religion of peace. As opposed to Michelle Bachmann, of the Tea Partiers, the radical extremists.

I don’t know whether to laugh or to cry.

The liberal leftists/Marxists never cease to amaze me on how absolutely deranged they are. It is almost as though they live in a parallel universe and they are the dark side. I wish we could get rid of all of them. They are really unhappy self-haters.

They are playing to their base, but they’ve completely blown it.

By making this into a political witchhunt from the gitgo, they offended most people, not their base, who wanted to deal with the human dimensions of the tragedy, not the political.

The fallout is going to be spectacularly bad to the dems.

Managing a crisis, (thanks Rahm), means reining in your online twitter buddies, neophytes, just plain morons and dolts and allowing the political professionals to craft what is being said.

By allowing them and Jane Fonda who at last report is still simply another moronic celebrity to shape the outcome was a bad mistake.

BTW, there is some spectacular stuff from y’all on the left that should have been best not said because it can’t be unsaid now.

Hilarious rhetoric considering it comes from a member of a death cult.

This is to be expected from a moslem. He and none of his ilk respect women or recognize them as equals.

Personally I’m sick of all this BS.

No one in government is worth any more then anyone else period. If government folks want to blame someone, blame themselves. When you push more and more BS laws and intrude on the personal freedoms of folks they push folks into reacting and not everyone reacts at the polls sometimes you get these type idiots that are just looking for a reason.

The very ones who are supposedly calling for toning down, are the ones using the violent wording...
