The unseemly rush to blame Sarah Palin, the Tea Party and Republicans for murder in Arizona
Daily Telegraph ^ | January 9, 2011 | Toby Harnden

Posted on 01/09/2011 2:25:48 AM PST by Cincinatus' Wife

Paul Krugman of the “New York Times” suggests darkly that Giffords was shot because she was “a Democrat who survived what was otherwise a GOP sweep in Arizona” and “violent acts are what happen when you create a climate of hate” (those reponsible for such a climate being, of course, Republicans).

[snip]

Jane Fonda pins it on Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck and the Tea Party.

Even the local sheriff (a Democrat) has been getting in on the act. Sheriff Clarence Dupnik (a Democrat) said:

"When you look at unbalanced people, how they respond to the vitriol that comes out of certain mouths about tearing down the government. The anger, the hatred, the bigotry that goes on in this country is getting to be outrageous. And, unfortunately, Arizona I think has become sort of the capital. We have become the Mecca for prejudice and bigotry."

[snip]

what are the facts we know so far? From what we know about Loughner, he was a deeply disturbed young man who railed about literacy rates, spoke of flag burning and creating a new currency.

Former classmates talk of “nonsensical outbursts” and a person “on his own planet”. ....My colleague Jon Swaine has a summary here of the raving of a person who most people would judge to be a complete nutcase even if he hadn’t gone out and shot people.

Oh, and another former classmate said he was “left wing, quite liberal”. .................

[snip]

This is highly inconvenient for certain people on the Left so they ignore it. They would much prefer the shooter to have been a white male in his 50s, the description the sheriff gave of a second person of interest (we’ll see if such a person materialises) but they’ll still try to make hay with a weirdo like Loughner.

"violent acts are what happen when you create a climate of hate"

LOL

Yes, that's right; look at all the inner-city festering boils inhabited by the "Obama Money" crowds out to "get whitey", and it's not something the State Run Media would admit.

It IS the Party who says OTHERS are the ones who created this mess, i.e., "Blame Bush", "Blame White Rich Bastards", and now "Blame Palin".

Derangement is a requirement to be a Democrat, and fostering a "I got Rights" is the common theme.

They show you who they fear.

They lie because the truth would reveal their true causes and their goals.

They call you what they in truth are and say you do what they in truth do.

This is nothing new to The Left.

EVERY event that occurs, most due to their philosophies' cause, is attempted to IMMEDIATELY be used to point the finger at the oppostion. Especially true, is that this is one of the Alinsky-style ways to effect support for Radical Marxism acceptance.

I want a Democrat Ku Ku Clock. It could have charachters from the left and the media that come out of holes and Ku Ku on the hour and half hour. Then I would never need to watch tv news again.

They’ve blamed those people for every terrorist attack since dear leader came into office, so why should we be surprised anymore?

Heck, I bet Jane Fonda herself could committ a terrorist act and they’d still find a way to blame it on “right-wing terrorism”.

Yeah, what about Clinton and Barky’s “targetted tax cuts”?

...and “violent acts are what happen when you create a climate of hate”...

True...and this was a LIBERAL, incited by the hate from the left. Liberals everyone, and the Daily Kos in particular owe the victims and their families more apologies than they could utter in a lifetime. When will the left cut back on their hate speech? From Obama on down liberals have been calling for violence. When will the MSM denounce Obama for his hate speech?

I know, trick question...liberals and the MSM will never utter the truth if it doesn't fit their meme.

“I guess being an ‘enlightened liberal’ makes one a mind reader.”

Liberals are brilliant, really really smart, bright, intellectual, intelligent geniuses whose brilliance is difficult to imagine because they’re all so brilliant, really really smart, bright, intellectual, intelligent geniuses, dontch know, ya know?

This is the ‘Wellstone Memorial’ on steroids.

True. But will the apolitical middle get it? How many will venture beyond the headlines?

One thing the liberals do well is propaganda, which is a big reason why I love Sarah. She's fighting them straight up, calling them the "Lamestream media" --to their face. No one has ever done that. I suspect she will be the only high-profile Republican to call them out on this.

Ironic that the balance to the U.S. MSM is a British news source. Damn the MSM, their agenda crystallizes with each passing day.

When they should be concentrating on this deranged shooter, they instead want to vilify their usual targets. That sherriff last night made me sick with his soapbox statements. Sure he was distraught and I understand that...but to insinuate fault lies with talk radio, etc., had me steaming.

And note that the authorities said that the murderer wasn’t cooperating. They’re probably “marching him off into namby-pamby land” to understand what could have motivated him. If this had happened in Philly, they’d have had those details. You betcha.

If Sarah Palin is to be blamed for this, then Al Gore is responsible for the murders committed by the Unabomber; especially since the Unabomger had an annotated copy of Gore's Earth in the Balance in his cabin.

People are “missing” something important. Nobody is talking about the BUSH-APPOINTED FEDERAL JUDGE that was killed. Why would a Tea Party Person take him down? Duh!

“But above all it is a reflection of the Left’s declining power in America, at a time when the nation is moving strongly to the Right. As Gallup’s recent survey showed, conservatives now outnumber liberals by nearly 2.5 to 1.”

The above is why the left wants so badly to push immigration ‘reform’ (i.e. amnesty). They don’t care about the will of the people. If the will of the people is contrary to their ideology and opposed to their designs on power they will try to get around that in any way possible. One way is to try to alter demographics.

What’s really going to be unseemly is when the first presstitute whiner is shot in retribution for the hate lies.

Now that will really be unseemly

Very good point! Further, I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to put together a montage of quotes by democrats and leftist media that are quite inflammatory and appear to incite violence. Didn't some leftist media guy make a comment about killing Cheney not long ago?
