Moving past right-wing rhetoric

Moving past right-wing rhetoric

By JOE SCARBOROUGH | 1/18/11 4:45 AM EST Updated: 1/18/11 10:00 AM EST

We get it, Sarah Palin. You’re not morally culpable for the tragic shooting in Tucson, Ariz. All of us around the “Morning Joe” table agree, even if we were stunned that you would whine about yourself on Facebook as a shattered family prepared to bury their 9-year-old girl.

The same goes for you, Glenn Beck. You’ve attacked your political opponents with words designed to inspire hatred and mind-bending conspiracy theories from fans. Calling the president a racist, Marxist and fascist may be reprehensible, but it did not lead a mentally disturbed man to take a Glock to Rep. Gabrielle Giffords’s “Congress on Your Corner” event

Good on ya, buddy. You weren’t personally responsible for the slaughter at the Safeway. Maybe you can put it on a poster at the next “Talkers” convention.

But before you and the pack of right-wing polemicists who make big bucks spewing rage on a daily basis congratulate yourselves for not being responsible for Jared Lee Loughner’s rampage, I recommend taking a deep breath. Just because the dots between violent rhetoric and violent actions don’t connect in this case doesn’t mean you can afford to ignore the possibility — or, as many fear, the inevitability — that someone else will soon draw the line between them.

Actually, someone already has. When you get a minute, Google “Byron Williams” and “Tides Foundation” to see just how thin a layer of ice Beck skates on every day.

Joe Scarborough didn’t jump any shark. You can’t jump a shark unless first you amounted to something.

I’m still waiting to hear a show in which they “spew rage.” I must be listening to the wrong station.

Scarby’s a moron.

Actually the left is responsible for the poisoned rhetoric. Look what they have been doing to Sarah Palin and her whole family for three years, and it just keeps gettig worse. If anyone has spawned a miasma of hatefulness, its the Joe Scaboroughs of America.

And take a look at the hatefulness against a female politician they exhibit? It is the SAME madness of hate for a female politician that Loughner had, there is no difference.

Joe Scarborough and Loughner drink from the same cup.

And just for the record, Obama makes distinctions on the basis of race, believes in Marx,and acts like a fascist.

Despicable comments, by the increasingly loathesome Scarborough.

Joe's offended that Palin, et al defended themselves against the left's insane and irrational accusations.

That makes you batsh*t crazy in my book, Joe. As batsh*t crazy as your friend Keith. And he fingerpaints with his own waste.

These people need to be ignored, they have crossed over that line and are totally immune from logical discourse now.

Obama is a racist, as he proves on a daily basis. Obama is a Marxist, and I pray that America will survive this clear and present danger and then erase all the damage that is done over these four terrible years. Obama is a fascist, one who wants his cronies in what is supposed to be our government to control major industrial companies in what is supposed to be a free capitalist country. The one thing Obama isn't is our president - the usurper would have to prove his constitutional eligibility before assuming that title in a meaningful manner and I'm still waiting for proof.

Scarborough still has to apologize for that outburst about the Palin babies.
