Bull.

Quote:
From Chuck Todd, Mark Murray, Domenico Montanaro, and Ali Weinberg
*** The right pushes back: Well, that didn’t take long. After we wrote yesterday that the horrific shootings in Arizona offered the possibility of ushering in a more civil and responsible tone in American politics, activists and commentators on both sides refused to back down. In fact, Monday was all about trying to define the other side as out of their minds. Sad. On the right, Rush Limbaugh accused Democrats of politicizing the tragedy. “The desperate hope that the losers in November of 2010 had was that they could revitalize their political fortunes because of this unfortunate shooting of a congresswoman in Arizona,” Limbaugh said, per Roll Call. “But the left is depraved, empty and without any political substance whatsoever.” Glenn Beck added, “They are using every opportunity to convince you that Sarah Palin is dangerous.” The Tea Party Express, meanwhile, sent a fundraising solicitation entitled, “Tea Party won’t be silenced after shooting.” And the Media Research Center’s Brent Bozell argued that the media was trying to “criminalize conservatism.”

*** So does the left: On the left, the New York Times’ Bob Herbert today writes, “The vitriol that has become an integral part of our political rhetoric, most egregiously from the right, is just one of the myriad contributing factors in a society saturated in blood.” And Paul Krugman asked yesterday, “So will the Arizona massacre make our discourse less toxic? It’s really up to G.O.P. leaders. Will they accept the reality of what’s happening to America, and take a stand against eliminationist rhetoric? Or will they try to dismiss the massacre as the mere act of a deranged individual, and go on as before?”

I give you Chicago, Democratic National Covention, 1968.

You are right. I should have said 'some', and by failing to do so I impugned all. In regards to vitriol over the present tragedy, I haven't seen any from either side. I had Glenn Beck on today when I was shopping for groceries (and by 'groceries', I mean bourbon, as I am likely to get snowed in tomorrow and it keeps me warm when I shovel) and he wasn't vitriolic or inappropriate at all. I don't watch FOX or MSNBC, so I haven't seen any manipulation.

If you watched ABC, CBS or NBC, network news you saw manipulation. But you don't know what you don't know.

The Westboro Church idiots are planning to be at the funeral of the little girl. Arizona is making an attempt to keep them some distance away:

Will be hard to keep them out now that SCOTUS has ruled in their favor reguarding military funerals. A sad truth.

I didn't see any manipulation there. But, I don't have a stake in either side.

You didn't see the county sherrif state his theory/opinions regarding how this incident was sparked? It was all over the network news.

Oh, I thought you meant that the media was pointing the blame at Team R. He's nobody; I wouldn't worry about his thoughts.

Bubblehead, I have been watching the news and I am not seeing a lefty attack. Get off your high horse and learn something.

Really? I've heard the talking heads at MSNBC and CNN find ways to blame this on "hate speech" aka the opinions of those who disagree with Obama and the Progressives, every chance they have.

Heard a couple Congressmen talk about "addressing" the "hate speech" and "vitriol" I'm not on a high horse, just know how the lefties are and how they will exploit this as they have many other tragedies to further their agenda.Their agenda usually contradicts the US Constitution, therefore I am worried and everyone else should be.

Really? They said that speech against Democrats and Obama should be banned? That's outrageous. We need to do something.

Did anyone hear the former Clinton advisor state where it was important for Obama to have an OKC incident to bring the folks back to him?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pF5_33WXSRs

This was aired in November on MSNBC.


BTW with all the attention devoted to Congresswoman Giffords do you realize a Federal judge was assasinated on Saturday.

By law the accused assasin faces the death penalty.

Well it does explain why he did it. Apparently he was just a poor soul used by god to shoot a 9 year old girl to show the US that being gay is wrong.

Or something:hmmm:


Dispicable these Westboro fools:nope:
