The Arizona Tragedy and the Politics of Blood Libel
Your attempt to exploit a tragedy to advance your far left ideology is so transparent that you're actually proving Sarah Palin's point. What's worse the Left continues to engage in blood libel even after they've been caught at it.
And marshall calls me a brainwashed clown...
AceOfSpades, I guess this means Glenn Beck was right all along about the lunacy of the left.
I am not "the left". I am not the mechanical parrot that spews 100% unaltered right wing views. You don't deviate an inch from the GOP party line fed to you. Also, your blatant hypocrisy is astounding. You and your cohorts will exploit anything for political gain. This right wing meme you've caught is a cancer that will turn this country and society in general into a third world cesspool.
Sure, whatever seriously at least I can recognize I have a bias, you apparently seem to suffer from the same thing as the mainstream media. You are hyperpartisan and can't even realize that fact.
You just said something extremely outrageous and you don't even realize that fact. You seem to think I hate you. Got news for you marshall, I don't hate you, it is stupid to hate someone over a difference of opinion if anything I feel sorry for you, whomever your teachers were they sure didn't teach you to think for yourself.

It amazes me how quick the liberals were to blame and condemn conservatives in the immediate aftermath of the shooting in Tucson and yet remained so totally blind to the fact that they were speaking the same vitriol they were accusing the people on the right of speaking.
It seems to me that the left was so eager to play their liberal-slant blame game after this tragedy that they were successfully able to dispose of any sense of objectivity. I've been thinking that maybe modern-day liberals have defined their own ethics by their own hostile feelings, and perhaps without even realizing it.

As far as I have been able to see, it was the fault of mental illness and taking internet conspiracy theories too far that led to this tragedy. The media will seize upon anything, of course. I wonder what the history books will say about this whole event 5-10 years down the line when everybody has calmed down and engaged in moral outrage about something else

@ Vigilans: Exactly, the main culprit was his mental illness and the fact that he internalized some conspiracy theories. Anyone who internalizes to that extent is vulnerable to internalizing just about anything, yet I've said this a million times and people still wanna blame the right. It's hopeless, people will never get it.
Right-wingers on average probably have more guns, and would likely be more willing to use them. So, that is probably not a good idea.

I wish I could have said it surprised me, but actually JetLag I wasn't surprised one bit. It fits the entire narative the left had been trying to create. They probably already had the stories written with <Insert name here> for the person that ended up being the supposed victim of right wing extremism. They have been looking for anything they can to try to censor Limbaugh and now Fox News, Palin, etc. as well.
They just seriously underestimated the intelligence of the American people and the facts proved their little narative to be the bs it was.
The really sad thing is that the liberal left is completely indoctrinated into their ideology as we all have seen here on this board. Their little death blow against Conservatives backfired and proved that I wasn't just spewing hot air about the left.
Actually, I think the average individual would have more to fear from liberals getting their hands on firearms than Conservatives whom actually own firearms and/or getting their hands on firearms. It seems liberals like marshall would be too prone to just going on a shooting spree instead of thinking something through rationally.
In this entire exchange, I didn't feel a rage where I wanted to kill someone, sure I was initially angry, who wouldn't be. After I thought about it for a time I found I actually pity him and feel sorry for him. I seriously think that whomever his teachers were in school they didn't teach him to think for himself but brainwashed him instead. I'm holding onto hope that he can learn that he isn't looking at the situation rationally.
Calling xenon far-left . Reminds me of Chavez and gang when they parrot things like "far-right" anytime someone disagrees with them. Hehe, now that I come to notice the likes of Inuyasha and with all my experience with Chavez' minions it is funny seeing how similar they are to each other. Chavez fans also believe their State TV channel is the only valid source for news. Hmnn.
It is funny to see conservatives trying to score political points by blaming the liberals for doing so. You know, it is pretty hard to exploit the martyrdom card, while at the same trivializing the words 'blood libel' and also while blaming the victims for not having enough security. Oh well, I guess it is actually very easy to pull such non-sense, seeing how conservatives turned out to be zombies that get fed anything.

How about V for Vendetta for starters?
In a post to the list-serv Journolist, an online meeting place for liberal journalists, Spitz wrote that she would “Laugh loudly like a maniac and watch his eyes bug out” as Limbaugh writhed in torment.
In boasting that she would gleefully watch a man die in front of her eyes, Spitz seemed to shock even herself. “I never knew I had this much hate in me,” she wrote. “But he deserves it.”

MIKE MALLOY: It took these filthy Republicans about 48 hours- 72 hours to come up with the "Oh, yeah, well, you know, we're getting bad phone calls too, yes we are."
And then this Boner [sic], this John Boner [sic] standing there. These guys created this. They created this atmosphere. They did it because Limbaugh and Beck told them to. [...]
Well, keep it up boys, just keep it up, um except for one thing: you rat bastards are going to cause another Murrah federal building explosion, you are. And then - what is Beck - maybe at that point Beck will do the honorable thing and blow his brains out.
Maybe at that point, Limbaugh will do the honorable thing and just gobble up enough - enough Viagra that he becomes absolutely rigid and keels over dead.
Maybe then O'Reilly will just drink a vat of that poison he spews out on America every night and choke to death! Because that's what's gonna to happen, that's what they are pushing these right-wing, nut case, fringe, militia jerk-wads to doing!

I have no doubt of that. If Vexcabular for Vendetta there pesters for more vitriolic verbosity to satisfy his voracity for volumes of vengeful vocabulary, would you mind continuing to provide more examples? I get tired from just reading that which is ubiquitous upon Wrong Planet itself.

Oh it gets better, the left uses taxpayer money to put people like Ms. Spitz on the air. She works at NPR, which receives taxpayer money.

I can't help but be amused that the argument of this being some giant political metaphor is still going on. For s**ts and giggles I'm now going to create a conspiracy theory.
The liberals organized the entire tragedy in order to appear as victims and discredit Sara Palin and the tea party movement
Also Sara Palin is a Reptilian Shapeshifter, possibly the very one who directed the chem trail planes that destroyed the USS Maine thereby sparking the Spanish-American War, which in turn indirectly led to the re-discovery of Humanity's ancient rivals and former gods, the Coelacanth, who had successfully hidden their existence for millenia

Well, why of course the left uses taxpayer money to finance their propaganda. Didn't you know, the left is, by sheer definition, "politically correct" and "inoffensive", so of course they ought to be financed compulsorily by all citizens to hear their messages of "peace" and "love" and "tolerance", right? They can't really be considered biased because their bias is the one accepted unanimously by themselves as the right form of bias.

Apparently some on the left are thinking of blaming pro-lifers for an Abortion Doctor's behavior... This Abortion Doctor is facing murder charges if I remember correctly.
