Tell Sarah Palin: Violent threats have consequences

[Omaha Steve]

Sarah Palin has a special responsibility and opportunity in the wake of the attempted assassination of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. For it was Sarah Palin and Sarah Palin alone who earlier put the crosshairs of a gun on Rep. Giffords.

But so far, rather than signaling a willingness to change her language going forward, Palin controversially labeled our calls to renounce violent eliminationist rhetoric as "blood libel" -- a term which itself invokes a long and violent history of anti-semitism.1

Let us be clear. We do not know why the shooter targeted Rep. Giffords. Sarah Palin did not arm him or pull the trigger. We do not know if the shooter admired, loathed or ignored Sarah Palin. We will eventually know, and that will be a different accounting.

But only Sarah Palin put 20 Democratic members of Congress in her crosshairs, and only Sarah Palin bragged that 18 are now gone, leaving Rep. Giffords and Rep. Nick Rahall of West Virginia.

And does that mean anything or is that fail too?

In November of 2009, a staffer fearing for Rep. Giffords' safety called authorities after a visitor dropped a handgun during another "Congress on your Corner" event at a local Safeway in her district.

And on March 22, 2010, just hours after Rep. Giffords cast her vote in favor of health care reform, a vandal jumped a gate and smashed the glass front door of her Arizona office.


Nah, nothing to see here move along

7. Grow up? This was over? You are't serious are you now?

She never apologized. And a Congresswoman lies in rehabilitation because of a deranged man who we know little about, MAYBE because the Right-controled media doesn't want the quitter known as Failin to be put in a bad light

Grow up huh, aye, you should look in the mirror.

4. Obama and the Democrats are Tyranical Facist, Commie, Socialists who

plan to destroy America, enslave the American people, kill granny, take you guns, support the terrorists, want to convert you kids to Islam, and make you marry a person of the same sex.

BUT apparently ... the right wing doesn't think any of those "facts", repeated endlessly, accompanied with violent rhetoric, could ever lead a deranged individual to try and kill a few of those "Tyrants".

Na, could never happen.

The right wing search for its next Timothy McVea continues ...
