The references to the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City in 1995 echoed in other ways. That horror, which killed 168 people including many children, helped then-President Bill Clinton stigmatize extreme anti-government rhetoric and re-energize his presidency at a time when Newt Gingrich and conservative Republicans were riding high in Congress.
One veteran Democratic operative, who blames overheated rhetoric for the shooting, said President Barack Obama should carefully but forcefully do what his predecessor did.
"They need to deftly pin this on the tea partiers," said the Democrat. "Just like the Clinton White House deftly pinned the Oklahoma City bombing on the militia and anti-government people."

Violence and politics merge in Arizona
Dems are beyond pathetic and beneath contempt for trying to use a tragedy that has nothing to do with politics on the tea party and Republicans to silence opposing voices.
Now who couldda seen that coming??? /s
We already know what the democrats are - the question is why don’t the republicans squash this bull$hit right now?

I hate violence. REAL TEA Partiers abhor un-necessary violence...we all know that.
That being said, IF Obama DOES try to pin 5his on us, and IF he succeeds, and IF our rights to free speech, assembly, or even our right to exist is threatened, at what point to we say “That’s it!”, roll up our sleeves, and start “Operation Take Out The Trash”?
Is there a definitive point where ‘enough is enough.?
They don’t need to “urge” anything. The Kenyan loves to blame everything on Americans. It’s what he does best.
They find themselves losing ground since November 2nd, so they’re going to try to pull the whole house down. They’ve done it before. When they win, it’s “we won.” When they lose, they head down to the basement with their cans of gasoline.
So Obama should deftly pin this on the tea party????
Do facts matter? Does the fact that this guy appears to be leftist if he thinks of politics at all matter? Does the fact that he is not associated with politicians or the tea party matter????
I am shocked at the news coverage. Most of the news coverage is about the political rhetoric, talk radio, cable news shout shows and such. The fact that a deranged man killed six people and left others fighting for their lives is taking a back seat to the MSM wanting to make a political statement out of this tragedy.
Clearly facts don’t matter. I guess we’ll see what Obama says next. Remember Bill Clinton made his speech about the “voices of hatred” coming from talk radio after Oklahoma City. See if Obama does anything similar. And if he does, he should be called out on it. A non-political deranged shooter should not be framed as having made a political statement when he clearly was not doing that.
The shooter was a time bomb waiting to go off. The left will do or exploit anything to forward their agenda.
“We already know what the democrats are - the question is why don’t the republicans squash this bull$hit right now?”
They are trying, but the MSM suppresses it. From the article (note the tone!):
“Some Republicans have scrambled to portray alleged shooter Jared Lee Loughner as an unbalanced loner, and pointed to a high school classmate’s account that, four years ago, he had left-wing views. Democrats are framing his attack as the tragic-but-inevitable end result of a right-wing political culture that has become radicalized since President Obama’s election. “
Is it me? I decided to visit Daily Kos to see what kind of vitriol and what kind of spin they are putting on yesterday’s tragic events. I expected to see something slamming conservatives, or blaming Sarah Palin or George Bush somehow. Instead, their home page is devoid of any editorials about the entire incident. Could it be that they know that when the truth comes out, one of their readers - one of there own - will be behind the event, and so they are ducking for cover? Am I projecting too much, or are the beginning to realize that they are about to be exposed?
They can’t. They found a 2007 letter from the congresswoman to the suspect thanking him for attending her rally.
The left is revealing how evil they are as they call for using the murders of American citizens to falsely libel the Tea Party movement for political gain.
at first, he will try to portray himself as floating majestically about the fray, his brilliant mind singularly able to perceive the subtle nuances at work in this hopelessly complex moral dilemma.
his rampant narcissism won’t allow him NOT to.
after a few days or a week of that, he will say that everyone who disagrees with him a child murderer.
we have seen this movie before.
With a progressive Sheriff in charge of interrogations of this man I feel comfortable that he will not be “brainwashed”...>sarc
He’s been planning this event since 2007. The left has committed suicide by blowing themselves up. Even Holder can’t cover this up.
