Did liberals like Congressman Raul Grijalva, Arizona Democrat, Markos, Moulitsas, and Andrew Sullivan speak too soon for the sake of hoping that the Tucson shooter could have had a tea party or a right of center affiliation? From all of their statements today, both said and written, it sure seems like it.
"It is hard because you're in the middle of shock but at the same time you have to as members of Congress, our speaker, our leadership has to understand that the tone and tenor of what we say as elected officials and how we debate, and how that discourse happens has to contribute to a place where it is civil it is human and it is protective of each other," said Congressman Grijalva.
Mr. Grijalva made these remarks during a CNN interview at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, when conficting reports about fellow Arizona Democrat Rep. Gabriel Giffords were being broadcasted. The Arizona Congressman was brought on to discuss the political ramifications of the shooting of not only Ms. Giffords but also more than a dozen others (at least 5 of whom have died).
"There is a lesson to be learned, and it's a horrible lesson, and it is that people listen to us. We need to set the example. That we can disagree in a way that is not mean spirited, hateful and so full of anger that people feel that they have some sort of permission to treat their elected officials as fodder. I don't think that's the way it should be. So, the lesson to be learned is that what we say matters and how we say it matters, and how act it absolutely matters."

And in 1963 as well, the leftist attacks blaming the right for the assassination started before Kennedy was cold.
This is straight out of the Lefts playbook. It’s a kind of damage control and projection. They now know it’s one of their own. They can’t change that.Their own words and blogs will convict them. The language of the Left is always strident, pugnacious and militant.It’s always a whole lot of fun to rant about ‘’the struggle’’ and ‘’fight oppression’’, ‘’off the pigs’’ , Bill Ayers should be happy about something like this. Until it happens that somebody actually does and then it’s project this right away on to your opponents and hope the public buys it.

The same liberals who thought putting cross-hairs on a picture of Dubya and captioning it “snipers wanted” and showing it on nationwide TV was a fine idea?
Those liberals?
I must be having the same trouble with the FR server that you are. Can’t tell whether your post made it because the thing keeps timing out...meh.
That's why not only the cops should be armed.
This sheriff is just perpetuating the very kind of hatred that
resulted in what happened today. NOT helpful...not helpful at all!
He needs to shut up and just enforce the law.
“There is a lesson to be learned, and it’s a horrible lesson, and it is that people listen to us. We need to set the example. “
Yeh, start with not stealing food and money from our children, obeying the Constitution and not robbing us of our freedom.
You people best start listening to us.
That’s the lesson, you left wing freak.

It takes a lot of nerve for the political death dancers to throw mud at Palin and the Tea Party who has never called for the death of anyone. The Left constantly threatens violence and death to their opponents on TV and on radio.
Right now they are threatening to strip their political opposition of what few constitutional rights we have remaining after two years of them in power.
Republicans had best get loud and mean to make the Democrats back off what they are about to do to the Americans who voted them into power. Marxists are no teddy bears and elected opposition leaders are not safe from them either.

Oh yes... see my post below these... I despise the left... I will not do business with them or let them near me. I mean... I have a deep down seething disdain for their evil... and they are 100% brimstone certified!

I believe that FR was under a Denial of Service attack... seems better this morning. What we posted needed repeating anyway! ;-)

Further proof of what I stated! Thanks!

The shooter was a liberal/democrat.But the mainstream media lies and says that Conservatives like Palin and Beck made this liberal shoot these people. These are actions of pure evil by the democrat media. The democrat mainstream is lying. The media is lying to destroy Palin,conservatives, and freedom of speech by just shouting evil lies from a trillion media outlets.
As I’ve said before the democrat mainstream media is the center of evil in the world. Can anyone agree with me now as they see how they are lying now?This is no surprise as all marxist/democrats are evil.
Hey, we can turn around this liberal smear machine. Jared Loughner just needs to rename himself Muhammed Abdul. Suddenly, no one but Muhammed will be at fault with no influence from any other sources.
