Disgusting… Media Determined to Pin Shooting on Palin Despite the Fact That “Liberal” Killer Was Targeting Giffords Since 2007

Disgusting.
The state-run leftist media is determined to take Sarah Palin down after the tragedy in Tucson this past weekend. The democrat-media complex wants to pin the shootings on Palin and the tea party despite that fact that the young leftist killer had been targeting Rep. Gabrielle Giffords since 2007.
Here’s the latest on Yahoo:
They won’t be happy until she’s dead and gone.
Yahoo reported:
Within an hour of Saturday’s tragic shooting in Arizona, the Twittersphere had quickly seized on a map put out by Sarah Palin’s political action committee last year that had gun-sight images over the congressional districts of House Democrats she wanted to win for the GOP in 2010.
Among her targets: Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona, who was critically wounded by a gunman Saturday. His motives, authorities say, are not fully known. But friends of the suspect, Jared Loughner, have suggested that he had held a grudge for at least three years against Giffords dating back to when he met her in 2007.
Still, some believe that incendiary rhetoric like Palin’s bears some responsibility in the tragedy. Giffords herself had previously raised concerns about Palin’s map: “The way that she has it depicted has the cross hairs of a gun sight over our district. When people do that, they have got to realize there are consequences to that action.”
On Sunday,the Senate’s No. 2 Democrat, Dick Durbin, cited the Palin map as a sign of the “toxic rhetoric” that has come to define national politics in recent years. He said he was not making a direct connection between Palin and the shootings.
As Franklin Graham said, the left is inciting hatred.

Oh for God’s sake give it a rest already. I have no use for Democrats, but shooting someone is the last thing I would even think of looking at that map. These leftists are unhinged … bat guano crazy …
Nanna1 commented:
I too have heard the left until I’m sick of it. They aren’t helping their place in the political world, because anyone with the brains of a gnat will be able to see it’s all lies. Susrely the public can see the stupidity of it all. Palin, Rush, Beck and even reading the Constitution has been blamed. How can people with one iota of a brain not see the ignorance in all of the left’s charges.
FU*K OBAMA commented:
Sarah Palin singlehandedly stopped Obamacare for several months by telling the people what is in it, namely Death Pannels. Her truthful barage kept the progressives from furthering their agenda before the next congress took over.
God Bless Sarah Palin!
Sean R. commented:
Giffords herself had previously raised concerns about Palin’s map: “The way that she has it depicted has the cross hairs of a gun sight over our district. When people do that, they have got to realize there are consequences to that action.”
If Giffords was concerned about her safety, why did she have no security? Could it be that that she only CLAIMED to be concerned about the map as a way to score political points against the hated Sarah Palin?
If Giffords thought that Sarah Palin was contributing to a climate of violence in Arizona, wouldn’t Giffords have brought security to protect not only herself but also her constituents?
If Giffords had brought armed security, they could have killed Loughner before he shot so many innocent bystanders. If Giffords believed that Sarah Palin had made things more dangerous in Arizona, didn’t Giffords have a responsibility to mitigate that danger?

PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY
No matter what someone tells you to do, no matter what you THINK someone told you to do, no matter who the media says told you to do something, YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR CHOICES AND ACTIONS.
Personal responsibility — where has it gone?

To quote Hillary Clinton:
(April 28, 2003 at the annual Democratic Party Jefferson-Jackson-Bailey Day fund raising dinner in Connecticut. )
“We are Americans and we have a right to debate and disagree with any administration!”
Al Gore — Feb 8,2004
In a withering critique of the Bush administration, former Vice President Al Gore on Sunday accused the president of betraying the country by using the Sept. 11 attacks as a justification for the invasion of Iraq.
“He betrayed this country!” Mr. Gore shouted into the microphone at a rally of Tennessee Democrats here in a stuffy hotel ballroom. “He played on our fears. He took America on an ill-conceived foreign adventure dangerous to our troops, an adventure preordained and planned before 9/11 ever took place.”

This whole weekend “reporting” was one big long Sarah Palin hate fest that borders on being a snuff film fantasy of the main stream reporters.
Zipity commented:
Anyone care to dispute that if Sarah Palin is now assassinated by a crazed Lefty, that they will roll out the tactic that used to be used on rape victims….. “she was asking for it, what with her violent speech and all….”
coolidgerules commented:
Their little putsch-thingy is not going as well as it should have after Oblahblah’s election. This is all they have left. I suspect now they are going to beat a dead horse on gun-control. Then, after that, they will spend more time on ways to restrict our first amendment rights. They are an easy, lazy bunch of ignoramuses to figure out.
We are not out of the woods yet. It will get worse. Buckle up. They (commies) have come way too far and are out in the open now.
PS- I think that this deranged lunatic in AZ was used for something really bad. It stinks to high heaven. The shark was jumped too quickly……..almost orchestrated
olm commented:
I hope Sarah Palin has excellent security, same with Beck.
The left is and has been inciting hate and I really do believe this nutjob is the tip of the iceberg.

Libs have no sense of irony or hypocrisy. That’s why they have no problem with Bambi having been advised by this guy:
(per Wikipedia)
Emanuel is known for his “take-no-prisoners style” that has earned him the nickname “Rahmbo.”[21] Emanuel is said to have sent a dead fish in a box to a pollster who was late delivering polling results.[17] On the night after the 1996 election, “Emanuel was so angry at the president’s enemies that he stood up at a celebratory dinner with colleagues from the campaign, grabbed a steak knife and began rattling off a list of betrayers, shouting ‘Dead! … Dead! … Dead!’ and plunging the knife into the table after every name.

Holly Bailey and about 60 others should be sued by Palin for slaner/libel.

“His motives, authorities say, are not fully known.”
Which means that they really are known and don’t fit the progressive narrative. And the longer the truth is not reported, the longer left wing wackos can blame Sarah Palin with impunity.

God bless this man and his family. My God continue to give the peace and strength they need to sustain them. I just cannot imagine the pain.
He really does not sound like a Democrat, and from what I have read, the congress person was not much of a Democrat either. If she was the target, and I am not sure that Judge Roll wasn’t the intended target, she may have been viewed as the perfect sacrificial lamb to take down the Tea Party and Sarah Palin, rush, and glenn. They sure jumped on it like white on rice, as if a concerted effort.
One thing we know about progressives all through history….they overshoot and overplay their hand.
We’ve been hearing about how fractured the party was and about the intense infighting for over a year now. I think it may be worse than what we imagined.
There is a report of a wife of a white house advisor found in a burned out car today. What is going on with the democrats?

Geez, people. Jim, maybe you should stick that notice at the top of each page, adding a script that keeps it on the page like a pop-up ad even when someone scrolls down. Maybe make it blinking, with a row of marquee lights around it? People obviously don’t read anything but the headline of a post.

pete t (#19): “The right, just like the nazis have long been inciting hate. Then hate when called out for it. Pathetic.”
I guess you missed the fact that those on your side of the political aisle decided to feed their irrational hatred for Republicans by utilizing this tragedy to slander all members of the GOP. I didn’t think it was possible, but I actually think less of you and the rest of the Left (including the mainstream media) based on your disgusting actions the past couple of days. If you had any shame, you’d feel bad for acting this way, but you don’t, do you? Yet, you and the rest of your fellow sanctimonious Leftists pretend that you’re actually nice people that care about this country and your fellow Americans. The hypocrisy is astounding to me.
See, you, like many of the other simpletons on the Left side of the political aisle, are lying, using the tragic deaths of your fellow Americans to gain political advantage, and trying to incite hate against everyone that opposes your idiotic agenda. I guess it’s fine when the “inciting hate” is done by your side, right? This tragic incident involving the shooting of Rep. Giffords and others is just the latest example in which those on your side are trying to blame the Right for the actions of an obviously mentally insane kid whose overall political ideology and beliefs are much more in line with Left-wingers like yourself than any conservative. That’s a fact, so deal with it.
If you think my comments about you and other liberals are mean and unfair, take a look at what you and your fellow liberals post on this site about conservatives multiple times each day, including the comments above in which you compared us to Nazis. Frankly, some of us are getting aggravated by you and your ilk trying to project your personal deficiencies, including your self loathing, onto all conservatives. We know you and too many of your Left-wing brethren are filled with hate, but it doesn’t mean that those of us on the Right share that personal weakness with you. Because the vast majority of us simply do not. If we did, your side wouldn’t have to repeatedly leverage horrible tragedies in an attempt to construct false linkages between the tragedies and conservatives, would you? You and the rest of your ilk engaging in this type of hateful behavior make me sick.

Yahoo summary:
“Some people think Palin influenced the killer. We’re not saying Palin is responsible for the killer. Or that Palin’s actions in any way motivated the killer. Oh, sure, some people are associating Palin with the killer. But WE would NEVER associate Palin with the killer. See, Palin, has nothing to do with the killer. Palin’s map had nothing to do with the killer. Durbin may think Palin has something to do with the killer, but we certainly don’t think Palin had anything to do with the killer. Oh, and by the way…
Palin…
Killer…”
Pavlovian association accomplished.
It has nothing to do with evidence or the facts of the article. At a very animalistic level, if an article mentions Palin and the killer often enough, the association is made, whether it is rational or not. And that association is powerful enough to make the public salivate at the sound of the political bell. This may not concern you when the target is just someone on our side. But what happens when the target is you?

This is a defining moment for the media — NOT for Sarah Palin.
Palin had NO connections whatsoever to Loughner — NONE. There’s no way anybody could read Palin’s site as a suggestion that people go out and shoot her political enemies, and there seems to be almost NO chance that Loughner ever read anything Palin ever wrote, so there’s the question of how in hell Palin was supposed to have goaded or inspired this Loughner freak to shoot Giffords (particularly when Loughner was apparently thinking of killing Giffords as far back as 2007, long before Palin was even known to most of the country).

Perhaps the troll-in-training isn’t aware that it doesn’t require a 6 week class on Greek history in some community college in the middle of South Carolina to deploy the phrase ‘molon labe’, just support for 2nd Amendment issues.
