Arizona Congresswoman Shot in the Head at Public Event

[CaptainHaplo]

Mookie - I said examples - plural not singular. His oratory has the most in common stylistically with Adolph - who everyone can agree was a bit of a megalomaniac. You can look at Stalin, Mussilini and a few others who also presented in much the same way. Also - look at examples as Thatcher, Reagen, etc - and you see the same skill, but with a different focus. Its actually telling - some look "over the people to the future" - while others look AT the people and discuss building the future WITH THEM - not using them to simply do the job.

Tchocky - yes it is a singular interpretation. However, when the president is also the leader of his party - and his party speaks and acts in ways that demonstrate their continued goal - such as the impending gun legislation - is to further bind the rights of the people instead of solving the problems that contributed (such as state and federal governmental interference into what WAS a working mental health system at one time). A speech is all well and good - but to choose to dismiss the history - and impending acts of, the speaker and those his politics represent - is to be intentionally blind to the reality of the day.

I don't think Obama is "evil". I don't think he is the AntiChrist. But I do believe that if you actually look at what he says - in light of his history of actions and the actions of those with whom he politically has joined himself, you cannot dismiss continued actions that we see happening even after such tragedy.

Because the poster in question has a long history of never discussing anything, but rather posting diatribe and then claiming to be central on the issues. That kind of writing really doesn't offer anything.

Judgemental has nothing to do with it. If he offered actual discussion I would respond accordingly, which is exactly what I have done when he's posted on the SH3 boards. When discussing the games he is respectful and earnest, and that's exactly the way I treat him. My comments here are only related to his comments here.

Can you point to any post here in which you have ever engaged in a genuine debate?

Bottom line....since you could not offer a legitimate rebuttle, you decided to attack me personally.Again, this does not shock me or bother me really, just amuses me in addition to letting me know you had no response.Again, typical lefty behavior.

And again you show yourself to be just as typically "Righty".
He didn't attack you personally, he attacked your habit of accusing one side of wrongful behaviour when you yourself are doing exactly the same thing.

Once again, the point of my original post was the left are exploiting this tragedy for political gain, it is disgusting

And again, you have done nothing but play politics in this thread. And you're right - it is disgusting.

I've become more liberal in my years...moderate for sure, and one only listen to left wing news and radio can clearly see they're using this for political gain.....so much so that it's now beyond disgusting and a disgrace regarding the crime and pain put on so many people.

The rhetoric here needs to simmer down. I am getting tired of the same three people filling my inbox with reported posts. One is getting a warning, another is getting a time out. Stay on topic and stay away from attacking those who disagree with you, or I'll ban the lot of you.

It is nice to see Gifford is progressing in great strides.

[Bilge_Rat]

shocking event. Nice to see congresswoman Giffords is getting better.

Pretty amazing, all things considered. The human body can take some serious trauma and still pull through. I watched something on TV once about a young man who had been shot in the head with a .357, which destroyed one half of his brain. He survived and over the years the remaining half of his brain had begun to rewire itself to perform some of the functions that the other half normally handles. How awesome is that?

I can't imagine how hard this must be for the families. It's such an awful thing to happen.

Apparently the shooter hasn't lost that smirk we see in his mugshot. Reminds me of the kid a few counties up from here that killed two convenience store clerks - he was laughing all the way to his pretrial. Some things I will never understand.

Another take (rabbi) on "blood libel."

Rabbi Shmuely Boteach:

Despite the strong association of the term with collective Jewish guilt and concomitant slaughter, Sarah Palin has every right to use it. The expression may be used whenever an amorphous mass is collectively accused of being murderers or accessories to murder.

The abominable element of the blood libel is not that it was used to accuse Jews, but that it was used to accuse innocent Jews—their innocence, rather than their Jewishness, being the operative point. Had the Jews been guilty of any of these heinous acts, the charge would not have been a libel.

Who else is sick of this term already?

[CaptainHaplo]

Regardless of disparate views - I am sure we are all thrilled to hear about the ongoing recoveries of all involved. May they each continue to be blessed with the miracles they have, and may we all remember that life is precious - so take a few minutes to spend with those you love in your own lives.

The rhetoric from the progressive in chief.

Obama: “They Bring a Knife…We Bring a Gun”
Obama to His Followers: “Get in Their Faces!”
Obama on ACORN Mobs: “I don’t want to quell anger. I think people are right to be angry! I’m angry!”
Obama to His Mercenary Army: “Hit Back Twice As Hard”
Obama on the private sector: “We talk to these folks… so I know whose ass to kick.“
Obama to voters: Republican victory would mean “hand to hand combat”
Obama to libearal supporters: “It’s time to Fight for it.”
Obama to Latino supporters: “Punish your enemies.”
Obama to democrats: “I’m itching for a fight.”

Now he wants everyone to tone down.

Doctors announced that they're "confident" in the progress made in the recovery of injured Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords.

Dr. Michael Lemole, the neurosurgeon treating the Arizona lawmaker, said they "couldn't have hoped for any better improvement."

"We're confident she's making some progress now," Lemole said at a press briefing regarding the health of victims of the shooting in Tucson, Ariz.,. "She is beginning to carry out more complex sequences of events, of activities, in response to our commands -- or even spontaneously."

That's great. I hope she pulls through as good as new.

Like Olbermann's

"Worst Person in the World" segment...we have murderers and terrorist killing people and everyday someone on Fox is worse than they are...."More speech to be banned."

If you want to see actul hate speech search liberal radio host, they don't use metaphors, they use they actual words. Course because they use the words towards conservatives, I guess it's not hate speech.
