.. the link to rhetoric and violence doesn't end with the Palin and her tea party. It extends to the political leadership of Arizona and the Republican Party, who have fomented laws and policies that logically lead to violence. Starting with the anti-immigrant SB 1070 and banning ethnic studies, leaders like Governor Jan Brewer, and Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio have to take as much responsibility for this violence as Palin and her cohorts. All their condolences ring hollow because of their callous inflammatory rhetoric and romanticization of guns and "Second Amendment remedies". Arizona is burning. It is Ground Zero for this extreme far-right, and their corporate, multi-billionaire sponsors. In the words of Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik in responding to political mood leading to the shooting shooting, "Arizona I think has become the capital. We have become the mecca for prejudice and bigotry."
In the hours after the shooting, some right wing elements seem to have created fake social networking pages in order to associate Loughner with the Left. The full story about the mental state and political motivations for the shooter will hopefully come to light soon. The attempt to paint this suspect as a leftist continues the far-right's use of anti-communism and anti-democratic rhetoric to cover-up their own role in continuing the hate until its logical violent conclusion.
It was Giffords father, 75-year-old Spencer Giffords, who wept when asked if his 40-year-old daughter had any enemies, and answered, "Yeah," to The New York Post, "The whole tea party."
This shooting marks a dangerous and sad day for our country. It's up to the American people to say, "Enough" to the hate, the racism, incitement to violence and the fascist-like behavior of anti-government thugs. Political violence and assassination has no place in our democracy.

The Communist Party should still be in their perpetual “moment of silence” for the 100 million people communism killed last century.
Shut up.

Hey, commies! Guess what? I hated your guts in the 1960s and I hate your guts today. Communism is and always has been about oppression and death and destruction, and all three are its stock in trade.
“ROTFL!!! We never should have let the commies surrender. We should have taken them all out.”
No kidding. They would have done no less to us.
Indeed, CPUSA now exists solely to preserve the fiction that they are a small radical organization with no influence.
That pretty well cinches it.
Like I said... they are all communists. They do not even try to hide it any longer.

You think the Democrats are Communists? It's worse than that. The Communists are Democrats.
