Of course, the fact that Sarah Palin had absolutely nothing to do with the shooting spree that killed 6 people by a left-wing pothead…
But, since when did facts matter to these unhinged loons?

NBC Bay Area reported:
Despite President Obama’s speech about healing, shared responsibility and shared pain, conservative pundit Sarah Palin is plastered, unflatteringly, along one San Francisco street (so far).
The posters — found and publisehd by SFist.com — espouse “Enrage them with fear until they feel justified in their violence.”
Granted, Palin has brought even more spotlight on herself with a recent diatribe against “irresponsible journalists.”
Maybe the president’s message stressing the strength of our words and how we use them will stick … like a poster to a wall.
And, of course, the state-run media finds absolutely nothing wrong with this vile attack on conservative Sarah Palin.

Love the way they call it her “diatribe.” Biased much?
bellez commented:
Since when is defending yourself against HACKS a diatribe? She spoke alittle long for my attention span but she was Eloquent, Informed, On “Target” and very Presidential .No one came to her defense in GOP and NO ONE is being put through the fire more than her & remained faithful to God & Country..We almost don’t deserve her..I have registered many NEW voters past yr..PALIN-2012..
Khan Krum commented:
And what is this “fear” mentioned? The only side that regularly uses fear (and hatred, e.g., “punish your enemies!”) is the one on which al-Bama is captain (Cap’n Kickass). I think that psychologists call this “projection”, i.e., deranged people project onto others things they themselves believe and feel.
I fear things like cultural suicide and sovereign bankruptcy, but I feared that before I even knew who Sarah Palin was. No, I feel enthusiastic that Sarah is on our side and with people and ideology like hers we can avoid the things I fear.
Mikey commented:
I’ll tell you what folks, this is getting downright scary. Please pray for Palin’s safety. She deserves NONE of this. When you get attacked for ideology, we have become a lawless nation.

Those people that the left attack the most are the people they are most afraid of and are the most effective conservatives.
donh commented:
This is why the President’s speech is so morally bankrupt. It is nothing but a good cop bad cop routine. Obama masks the violant intimidating thuggery of the left by posing himself above it all with a message of civility. Everyone in his party knows he does not mean it. Everyone below Obama plays the bad cop on Obama’s orders . His brown shirt agents in the media do everything they can to inspire assassinations of political enemies by fringe thugs like Jarred. Once again these fascist try to hide their fascism by projecting the very behavior they are guilty of onto their political opponents . These are horribly deranged people who will walk up to an innocent person and shout “you murderer” as they stab away at the person’s heart.
NeoKong commented:
What the hell was that supposed to mean….? Because she defends herself there is more invitation to attack her ?
The right-wing can never match the hate and anger that spews from the left.
Strawbungle commented:
The other day CNN was interviewing some woman who said it was her “gut feeling” that hostile dialog was behind the shooting.
Inflammatory negative conversations appears to be the catchphrase.
The CNN host was asking all kinds of leading questions trying to elicit statements.
This flaky woman ended up bashing Sarah Palin for saying “blood libel” and says it is not a conciliatory word. She said that she has a background in mental health (as a patient?) and people are sometimes influenced.
I guess people are free to attack Sarah Palin however they like but she needs to be conciliatory.
FGT commented:
Isn’t this incendiary rhetoric?
Oh silly me, I spoke stupidly, only the right can engage in incendiary rhetoric.
Much like racisim.
Mrs. X commented:
“And, of course, the state-run media finds absolutely nothing wrong with this vile attack on conservative Sarah Palin.”
They don’t–because they agree with these lunatics. They hate all conservatives, and especially those who speak out against their agenda.
I pray for the entire Palin family.

This is the state that has a budget shortfall of about $28 BILLION dollars.
Since 2001, for every 1 job they gained in government, they lost 5.96 jobs in the public sector (O. C. Register)
This state is the home of Hollywood, the highest concentration of people on earth that righteously and sanctimoniously decry violence around the world while simultaneously producing one blockbuster shoot ‘em up, blow ‘em up film after the other.
This is the state, where in the City Council of Berkley, they regularly vote against positions taken by the federal government around the world, as if their personal boundaries have no limits.
This is the state, where in San Francisco, in the Tenderloin District, they have a festival where people perform sex acts on one another in public all day long.
Remember these behaviors, because when their state fails financially, they are going to come to the US Government for a bailout. Be ready to remind your congressional representatives of these behaviors as you demand they vote NO on bailing out California.
Let them drink the wine from their vineyards and eat the produce they prevented the farmers from growing in order to save the environment. Let them sit in theatres all day long and watch the films they produce that glorify very good looking shallow people with superficial values and hypocritical behavior.
Let them put up posters about what they don’t like all day long – but NEVER allow them to have one cent from the federal treasury after the pompous asses have plundered their own treasury and driven themselves into financial oblivion.
REMEMBER them in the rising of the sun and its going down.
REMEMBER them In the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter.
We will indeed remember them.

“Left wing pothead”? That’s hilarious. What, are you channeling Reefer Madness? Loughner’s an anarcho-Randian nihilist — just like Ayn Rand’s favorite serial killer, William Hickman. There’s not a damn thing “left-wing” about him.

Mikey,
When they allow a man to sit in the White House knowing there is a strong possibility he isn’t natural born or possibly even American we are beyond a lawless nation. We are living in third world despotism. I hope God punishes those that have feigned ignorance and have allowed it to happen. Do you hear that Congress, Supreme Court, Military, FOX NEWS FAIR AND BALANCED?
Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.

MN Jim commented:
The left’s tactics are looking more and more like those of the “Religion of Peace”:
Start a fight with someone who is not fighting back; tell lies to advance your goal, accuse the other side of what you have done, complain loudly about the smallest issue.
Doober commented:
I share the same concern for Palin’s safety. I hope she has finally realized how dangerous the left is and gets a body guard. It’s only a matter of time before one of these Democrats tries to kill her.
She is a threat to them, because Palin represents millions of Americans. She is a true symbol of freedom, of the American spirit and that is why the left hates her.
Drider commented:
Hahahah, I seriously love the way the Bolshevik minds work.So predictable, I hope they keep it up.I know I will hatre them and all that they stand for until the day I die.
No speech will alter the obvious agenda of Obama and minions,even a smidge.Let Krauthammer and FOX continue to try and breath some false premise that these people can change.I’m not interested in politics forcing a politician to veer slightly to reach their objectives instead of taking a bee line to it, it ends up at the same destination.
I’m fully invested in the complete destruction of the agenda that has been inflicted on the country and I won’t stop for one minute to play nicey nice about it.
Peter Warner commented:
I’d like to see a larger photo of those posters, to get a sense of the scale, quality and placement. It looks perhaps like they are being glued on top of some other color posters, and they could be any size- as small as paperback books, for example.
Best regards, Peter Warner.

@#21 Patman
Big difference! Obama is a socialist who is destroying the country and has the power to destroy even further! He is guilty of being the second worst president of all time and the great divider who is full of lies and deceit and always does the wrong thing for the nation. You can count on him and his regime to spin and do whatever they think can benefit them and only them ALL of the time. The most anti-American president in the history of this country. If Obama was around and has power during the 1760′s and 1770′s, does anyone believe he would have been part of the founders, or do you think he would have been part of the monarchy ruling the country that we had to take? With all my heart I say the latter.
Sarah Palin is a public figure but a private citizen who has very little power. She can rally the right, raise money and help people get elected but she can’t right laws, she can’t raise taxes, she can control the country through fiats, she can’t start wars, she can’t order your children to die in foreign countries, she can’t piss away billions of tax dollars, she can’t contribute to the national debt, she has no real power except for what people give her. She isn’t to blame for any of this. She is the innocent one here! If Sarah Palin had power during the 1760′s and 1770′s, anyone think she would be part of the founding of this great country or part of the oppressive ruling class? Without a doubt she would have been a founder and probably would have been one of the second, third or forth presidents.
So, no I disagree on that completely. Neither are the same and it is a big deal for the left-wing radicals to incite violence against Sarah and to lay blame on her for nothing of her doing.
Militant Conservative commented:
in statistics the Tucson is known as an outlier. He’s WAAAAAAAAY outside the standard of normal.
As for the looney left in San Fran. They are a sanctuary city after all.
I am comforted by the thought that most of the left is afraid of guns let alone would they own them. Note I said most not all. Remember inanimate objects are capable of shooting/ driving (SUV) themselves.
FEAR is the lefts calling card. powder is dry

This link (www.zombietime.com/zomblog/?p=621) will take you to a collection of literally hundreds of photos of liberal protesters calling for GWB’s death and showing him hung, shot and burned.
It should be the end of any call for civility from the left. Since this didn’t bother any of them in the least, they have no credibility now. These photos are truly shocking and very strongly contradict any claims that Republicans supply the “lion’s share” of “hate speech.”

Matt Osborne (#18): “‘Left wing pothead’? That’s hilarious. What, are you channeling Reefer Madness?”
That’s how he was described by an acquaintance so the only thing “hilarious” is your ignorance, which is on display for all to see. Too bad you didn’t check news reports to learn this before you posted here, Matt. Here you go:
http://tinyurl.com/33jpt97
Matt Osborne (#18): “Loughner’s an anarcho-Randian nihilist — just like Ayn Rand’s favorite serial killer, William Hickman. There’s not a damn thing “left-wing” about him.
Really? “Not a damn thing”? Talk about a meaningless and unbelievably dishonest claim considering the available evidence about Loughner. Why are you lying so openly? The most pathetic action on your part is that you are ignoring the documented facts about Loughner and his beliefs, while at the same time tossing out an Ayn Rand reference because he had her on his reading list? Why didn’t you mention “The Communist Manifesto” then? Probably because it wasn’t convenient to the narrative dishonestly put forth by your side that he was a conservative.
Let’s review just some of the details that have come out about Loughner over the last few days while your side and your allies in the mainstream media were trying to make Loughner a Right-winger when he’s obviously much aligned with the Left. He was called “Left wing” by multiple acquaintances, he despises Christianity and religion, despises the Constitution, burns the American flag, laughs at abortion, believes 9/11 was an “inside job,” believes that the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are “war crimes,” and supported John Kerry in 2004 (though he was still too young to vote at the time). Sounds like a lot was “left-wing” about him, Matt. Feel free to review the different news stories posted online by various media sources that report all of these details. These details were provided by Loughner’s acquaintances, but I guess you know more about him than they do, right? At best you can say that he was simply crazy and not motivated by politics — and that may be true — but calling him “left-wing” appears to be accurate, too.
Perhaps you should be more informed before you post your ignorance on a blog for all to see. Or maybe you’re just in denial. After all, you were told for several days by so many Lefties and the mainstream media that he was a Right-winger inspired to violence by the Tea Party and Sarah Palin so how can the opposite be true, right? Congratulations, you’re the perfect puppet for the Left.

Henry Hawkins commented:
The left, especially its media wing, would love nothing better than to find out that someone who could be tied in some way to conservatism or the Republican Party got so mad at their increasingly baseless storylines and narratives, they had gone out and committed some violent act. The anti-conservative narrative is meant to sway independents leftward. A violent act by someone on the right would be a welcome bonus. It is incumbent on conservatives to remain calm – not ignore our many justified complaints and concerns about the direction of our country, but remain calm in how we hold them and push forth our own agenda. We must remember what happened on November 2, 2010, and we must refuse to be made to feel like we’re far to the rear in today’s arrangement of political power. Not so. By virtue of the Tea Party and the American voter, we have begun a revolution of sorts. We have taken over the US House, minimized the Dem majority in the US Senate, taken over a majority of governorships, and a majority of state congresses.
We are kicking ass.
Do not let the nonsense that was spun from the AZ shooting anger you – it was the whining cries of a dying force, the leftwing media. Do not let attacks on our elected and cultural leaders anger you – as political tactics they are desperate and wholly ineffectual and have boomeranged* on the attackers. The left wing attack media forced its own champion, Obama, to slap them back down on national TV. Be assured much infighting is going on behind the scenes. Their edifice is cracking. This is not something that winning teams do. Were it a football game, this was a turnover, a fumble. Witness how Obama has been forced to let go his A Team and is replacing top advisors left and right. Winning teams don’t bench good players and send in subs. We have instituted a Republican House and our chances for a Republican Senate in 2012 are good. The prospect for a Republican White House in 2012 is good, especially since unemployment and the economy would need a virtual miracle to recover enough by the summer of 2012, just 18 months away, to save an Obama 2nd term.
Be calm. Know the we are winning, literally kicking ass. This isn’t football game, though that’s a useful analogy. A football game lasts 3 hours. The real ‘game’ is measured in 2 and 4 year blocks. Be patient. Mark our grievances well, but do not let them weaken our hearts with anger. Play smart first, emotional second. The ‘game’ started in 2008 and ends in 2012. It is halftime and we’re up 30-0. And if we lose 31-30 come 2012 – that is, if the new Republican congress does not enact the Tea Party fiscal revolution, does not abandon RINO-ish relapses of judgment and governances, does not shred Obamacare, does not secure the borders and reform immigration law, and instead reverts to the profligate spending and RINO-isms of recent years, we will not have lost, because the bottom line is we have learned the skill of the peaceful exertion of power through our votes and we have shown we will exercise it until we get what we want.

This is exactly what the left is doing to the right, not the other way around, except the right refuses to oblige, and it is ticking off the left to no end.

The above posters put me in mind of the “Judenrein” propaganda of the Nazis in WWII. Except now it’s “Palinrein” and the calls for cleansing opponents come from the 2011 American Left.
It horrifies me that the Left in this country have spiritually degenerated to such a degree.

SO AND SAUL ALINSKY 6
[“When you are trying to communicate and can’t find the point in the
experience of the other party at which he can receive and understand,
then, you must create the experience for him.”
In other words, you know what s/he SHOULD be experiencing, so you have carte-blanche to ‘create’ what you are already sure should be there. Thus, among other things, the unending series of ‘symbolic incidents’ that are designed for no other purpose than to convince large numbers of people (modern communications technologies are far more efficient in pulling this gambit on masses of people rather than the slow one-person-at-a-time approach) that derange a democratic politics, derailing it from a ‘politics of substance’ and rendering it merely a ‘politics of symbolism’ and ‘appearances’.
The SO community will be familiar with this phenomenon, even if at least at the beginning its origins and precise causal dynamics were not clear. Having made up their minds what SHOULD be ‘there’ (because they believed it was there OR because the wanted and needed it to be there) then advocates and ‘experts’ made the Alinsky-ite pressure-moves on legislators who were eager to have such ‘cover’.
And so in the Mania Regimes of DoVi and SO you see a ‘politics of appearances’ rather than substance mutate into a ‘legislation of appearances’ rather than substance: in terms of the what the statistics and ‘stories’ claimed, in terms of the purported monsters that were committing them (whether a few hardened recidivists or millions of lumpish unripes, take your pick) … there is no ‘there’ there.
And from a ‘legislation of appearances’ rather than substance you mutate further into a ‘jurisprudence of appearances’ rather than substance, by way of a ‘law enforcement of appearances’ rather than substance.
And the whole thing becomes a hall of mirrors. Only lethally so.]
iow: the useful idiots they be will continue to put THEIR words in OUR mouths until they get freedom of speech legislated aka: SHARIA LAW..

The last desperate effort of a failing political party.

re: [No different than the “JOKER/Obama” posters]
au contraire, but there is..
Obama Joker artist unmasked: A fellow Chicagoan
[Bored during his winter school break, Firas Alkhateeb, a senior history
major at the University of Illinois, crafted the picture of Obama with the
recognizable clown makeup using Adobe's Photoshop software.
Alkhateeb had been tinkering with the program to improve the looks of photos he had taken on his clunky Kodak camera. The Joker project was his grandest undertaking yet. Using a tutorial he'd found online about how to "Jokerize" portraits, he downloaded the October 23 Time Magazine cover of Obama and began digitally painting over it.
Four or five hours later, he happily had his product.
Obama-joker-time On Jan. 18, Alkhateeb uploaded the image to photo-sharing site Flickr (shown at right). Over the next two months, he amassed just a couple thousand hits, he said.
Then the counter exploded after a still-anonymous rogue famously found
his image, digitally removed the references to Time Magazine, captioned
the picture with the word "socialism" and hung printed copies around L.A.,
making headlines.]
not to mention or these or these nor this..

Reading the message on the poster, I can’t help but realize that these libs are the masters of “turnspeak” — or else they are entirely unaware of the irony of this message. They are, in doing what they are doing, following the words of this message to the letter, and have been for years.
“Enrage them with fear until they feel justified in their violence.”
That’s EXACTLY what the left is doing right now to their base. “Blood Libel” was a phrase used most appropriately by Palin.
http://yidwithlid.blogspot.com/2011/01/whats-problem-with-sarah-palin-using.html
“Turnspeak” means they do what they do, then they turn around and say that their targets are the ones doing what they are doing. These people have no shame.
