Citing no evidence that the Arizona shooter had ever heard of Sharron Angle of Nevada or her remarks about Second Amdendment remedies, a top Dem leader has nevertheless tied the shootings to Angle's statement.

Rep. James Clyburn, third in the House Dem leadership, made his allegation on Fox News Sunday today. He began with a general statment, then made a specific accusation.

JAMES CLYBURN: I think that what is happened here is that the vitriol has gotten so elevated until people feel emboldened by this. And people who are a little less than stable, and people aren't thinking for themselves are so easily influenced, they go out and do things that all of us pay a great price for.

Brett Baier, subbing for Chris Wallace, then read to Clyburn a statement from Tea Party leader Judson Phillips predicting that the left would blame the shootings on the Tea Party movement. That didn't deter Clyburn, who proceeded to tie the shootings directly to Sharron Angle.

Congressman Paul Kanjorski, the Pennsylvania Democrat, on Gov.-Elect Rick Scott: “Shoot Him”

http://spectator.org/blog/2010/11/09/kanjorski-on-gov-elect-rick-sc

“That Scott down there that’s running for governor of Florida,” Mr. Kanjorski said. “Instead of running for governor of Florida, they ought to have him [sic] and shoot him. Put him against the wall and shoot him. He stole billions of dollars from the United States government and he’s running for governor of Florida. He’s a millionaire and a billionaire. He’s no hero. He’s a damn crook. It’s just we don’t prosecute big crooks.”

He has his orders from propaganda central. Collectivists all repeat the same old lies over and over. Reality has nothing to do with the MSM anymore. An investigation is called for. This reminds me of the Payola scandal in music way back when. Or the game show fixes.

Clyburn is the one inciting violence against innocent people with his rants. Engage mind before opening mouth, Commie bastard Clyburn!

"And people who are a little less than stable, and people aren't thinking for themselves... "

In other words, "Democrats"?

vitriol

New dem buzzword.

cause of leftist shooter going nuts.

dems, poster children for vitriol.

Somehow one must blame others for ones own deficiencies.

[PLD]

The liberal pigs blame everyone but themselves..The congress woman that was shot is not like the others in the media..This accusing of others is what gets these liberals voted out of office...I think the first thing in their minds is to blame the conservatives for all of the things like this,if the truth was know every last one of these Dem's jumped for joy when this fine lady was shot..Hoping they could make a case against any conservative they can..This showes me how ignorant these people are..

[LibLieSlayer]

Angle should sue this black racist pos.

I'd venture to say most Americans are well past falling for the lies and dirty tricks used by the far left MSM, politicians and talking heads. This kind of garbage was a key element in the MASSIVE DEFEAT the Democrats suffered in November '10. Continued use of these tactics just adds nails to their coffin.

We've woken up...and we're not going back to sleep!

[highlander_UW]

And people who are a little less than stable...

The shooter was a liberal, of course he was less than stable.

[pieceofthepuzzle]

Another anti-white hateful racist. I've seen anti-minority racism, and I've seen anti-white racism. I was hoping as a society we were getting beyond all of that. People like Clyburn and our current AG illustrate that unfortunately, we are not. Further, the fact that anti-minority racism and slavery are part of our history does not in any way excuse anti-white racism. Two wrongs don't make a right, and never will. Only small people jump on a tragedy in which a 9yr. old was killed and try to use it to make political points. Pathetically sad.

"vitriol"

Yep, noticed that last night on MSNBC.

They probably had to look it up to see what it meant...

[Russ]

Clyburn didn’t get the memo. He’s supposed to be blaming Palin, not Angle. Those Dems need to get their stories straight.

[Carley]

Ignoring the fact that Giffords was a strong supporter of the second amendment, this disgusting bigot dishonors the dead and wounded by lying about the intentions of the killer.

“He has his orders from propaganda central. Collectivists all repeat the same old lies over and over. Reality has nothing to do with the MSM anymore.”

Dupnik said the same thing on TV yesterday. Even the lib reporters stared at themselves. So now they will do what Stalinists do, spread their collective guilt as far as possible.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Clyburn is a moron. This little punk is mentally disturbed. If politics was involved in this tragedy, he stated himself that he was upset because Giffords was not “progressive” enough for him. Clyburn needs to STFU and go pimp his anti-America, racist garbage somewhere else.
