Is it that ...What point are you trying to make MF?<br /><br />Is it that heated criticism is the same as not so veiled threats of taking violent action (2nd amendment solutions)?<br />or is it that you see both sides to be doing it so that makes it ok or at least not worth railing against?<br /><br />I wonder why you posted here again and did not go off dispensing your pearls of medical advice to others.The Loraxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13361004494346338824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8448663046375322498.post-73153342501696686962011-01-08T22:25:14.777-06:002011-01-08T22:25:14.777-06:00Would it be fair to say Asa Seeley and Robert Pick...Would it be fair to say Asa Seeley and Robert Pickett were influenced by the left's heated criticisms of George Bush?Montgomery Flangenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8448663046375322498.post-9385672932222384792011-01-08T22:16:09.934-06:002011-01-08T22:16:09.934-06:00@M.

You'...I don't understand your response Clem. You'll note I began "This is reactionary I admit it" You did see that right?<br /><br />Did I suggest my rant would help? Is that my goal? What's your goal? Personally, I think it can help because some people look at every little item in isolation, but when brought together it means something more. I think it can help because words matter, but the right wing (and Ill assume you're among them based on your attempts at defense) likes to say the worst possible things and suggest the worst possible things, and then say, I can't believe this happened I think Im getting the vapors.<br /><br />Also I did not suggest that every shooting is due to the right wing (but I love how you missed the point). Im sure that you are aware that I didnt make that point, but then throw out a high school massacre by high school kids as comparable to a political massacre (you realize people died right?). Actually there are comparisons, a couple of probably mentally distressed verbally tormented teenagers go off and commit murder. Hmm, words matter. Im not blaming the victims, just pointing out that words matter. Right wing talking heads talk smack all the fucking time, something is bound to happen.<br /><br />For the record, we have been building toward this. Gifford was the target of violent attacks previously (though not on her person). Having an Obama sticker on your car justifies ramming you off the road. Work for the census in Kentucky, you might get strung up. But none of that matters and Rush Beck etal should be praised with their 'take the country back' talking points. Let's bury our heads in the sand and simply feel bad for the families of the dead as the bodies pile up.The Loraxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13361004494346338824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8448663046375322498.post-54391334372503882642011-01-08T19:25:34.070-06:002011-01-08T19:25:34.070-06:00BTW, the Sarah Palin poster you put in your piece....BTW, the Sarah Palin poster you put in your piece... it already notes that three members of the list are retiring... "17 more to go!" it says. Wouldn't it be refreshing then if you could hold your breath long enough to suggest 4 down and 16 to go?? But wait, as of this writing Gabrielle is still among the living. Perhaps a lot to hope for - but she could resume her post.<br /><br />But what I really wanted to suggest is that regardless of the right wing hyperbole, this is a horrible thing. What I'm trying to figure is how your rant is going to help?<br /><br />As for "the same" whackos shooting up used sports equipment stores... <br /><br />Nope... its a different set of whackos who shoot up McDonalds restaurants, Columbine highschool, and other venues.Clemnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8448663046375322498.post-78284709125670450842011-01-08T17:51:01.187-06:002011-01-08T17:51:01.187-06:00Don't see the connection Jim.

Definitely. <br /><br />So you conclude that he was not inspired by the the never stream of right wing rhetoric of hatred?<br /><br />I think your conclusion is weak.<br /><br />When a whack job shoots up an abortion clinic and it turns out they had mental problems and thought the government had a UFO in Area 51, it is still on the church leaders constantly referring to abortion as murder and saving babies that share the blame. (I mean you don't see these same whackos shooting up a used sports equipment store.)The Loraxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13361004494346338824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8448663046375322498.post-28807870866361754562011-01-08T17:36:25.391-06:002011-01-08T17:36:25.391-06:00A few more facts, some of which don't square s...A few more facts, some of which don't square so easily with the attempt to brand him as inspired by Republicans:<br /><br />http://lonelyconservative.com/2011/01/a-look-at-jared-lee-loughner-az-shooter/Lippardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16826768452963498005noreply@blogger.com
