So -- someone who is in a State that is totally discontiguous with the States surrounding the atrocity -- and who holds no public office -- "allowed" the tragedy to happen?

It is far more likely that CNN and its leftist spew contributed substantially to the abominable act...

If I recall correctly, during the campaign, the left posted Sarah Palin’s image with a noose around her neck.

I second the call. After seeing the AP story today, the cowardly post by Krugman (he wouldn’t allow comments), and what a bunch of others are saying (Herr Olbermann, Eugene Robinson), these guys are pushing the First Amendment right of freedom of political speech to the limit.

They are advocating the overthrow of the country by what they are saying.

We also need to decide or reiterate what it is the news media is supposed to actually do in this society. They have mutated into a treasonous monster. They have taken sides. They have taken a common asset (the airwaves and print) and butchered it.

Is there a reason why you are avoiding all these Sarah Palin threads?

Crow-ly on CNN just got put in her place by of all people Lamar Alexander. He brought up the fact the shooter loved the burning of the flag, the communist manifesto and mien kampf. The old Crow however did not even bat an eye when confronted with reality and continued with her false reporting.

What a load of crap. They use the target metaphor all the time. Heck we use it in sports too. Someone is a recruiting “target” for instance but that doesn’t mean we want our fans to shoot them.

Fox reporting that the shooter had ties to an anti-semitic fringe group...’American Renaissance’. And that snippet came from DHS.

No facts were cited by DHS. It sounds like just more leftist spin - this time under the guise of Federal (Feral?) Government credentials.

If this is more than unsubstantiated innuendo, DHS has an obligation to provide facts before they try to stir up more hate and mistrust.

CNN should do a little digging, instead of resorting to tired cliches.

Here's what I found after some digging: Did "Conscious Dreaming" Cause a Psychotic Break? ("Conscience dreams were a great study" -Loughner)

And those people should not be listened to who keep saying the voice of the people is the voice of God, since the riotousness of the crowd is always very close to madness.

The logic is mind boggling. Conservatives are guilty of driving left wing extremists to mass murdering violence.

-Left wing extremists; It’s not their fault, but Palin’s?
Seriously?

The left is totally de-legitimized by anyone who bothers to check the facts behind the propaganda.

Palin needs to go on the offensive and not some wimpy tweet post. Full blown press conference naming names of those dropping hints that her “vitriol” is he reason for this tragedy. She and her family have been put in grave danger from fellow lunes like Loughner. I'll start with the first name..... Whoraldo. That clown Sheriff is next on the list.

I think the Lib media should be investigated.

Bill Ayers (1968): “Kill all the rich people! Break up their cars and apartments! Bring the revolution home, kill your parents - that’s where it’s really at!” 1969 - Ayers attempted to extort money ($20,000) from the Vietnam Moratorium Committee. When a member of the Moratorium group asked Bill Ayers what he really wanted, “To kill all rich people,” Ayers responded. When another peace activist pointed out that Ayers himself came from wealth, he answered: “Bring the war home. Kill your parents.” 1969 (December 27 to 31) – Weathermen hold a “War Council” meeting in Flint, MI. Bernardine Dohrn comments about the Charles Manson-led “Sharon Tate - LaBianca Murders” “Dig It! First they killed those pigs, then they ate dinner in the same room with them, and then they put a fork in pig Tate’s belly! Wild!

Typical lib response. Blame their political opponents. When that is revealed to be a canard, then begin the mantra “We have to understand the causes of what drives someone to doing somehting like this.”

political correspondent Jessica Yellin immediately jumped on the story before all the details about the shooter were known.

Only at the end of the segment does Wolf Blitzer ask Yellin if there any evidence that the suspected shooter was a Sarah Palin fan, read any of her websites, followed her tweets etc… to which Yellin responded “Absolutely not… none at all and there is no evidence that this was even inspired by rage over health care broadly so there is no overt connection at all between Sarah Palin, health care and (video cuts off)”

So we have to get through nearly two and a half minutes of this discussion talking about how Twitter and the we are all abuzz about how this was Palin’s fault including an old interview with Giffords saying that she felt targeted last year on;y to find out that there is no connection.

If there was no connection at all then why did Yellin bring it up.  And what would she say now that it has been revealed that the shooter is not a right-wing nut but a left wing wacko?

CNN said they were going for the middle of the political spectrum but in this case they went right for the jugular of an innocent Sarah Palin.

This is not not just liberal bias but also poor taste.
