I worry about the political repercussions of these media attacks.

It is a terrible tragedy - seeing that nine-year-old girl's parents was very moving. I pray for all the victims and their loved ones.

But the left will desecrate the memories of all of these people by trying to pin the blame on conservatives and constitutionalists.

If it had been a Muslim who did this (think Fort Hood massacre), the only stories we would have heard would have been about fear of a “backlash” against Muslims.

Seems that the media strains to see a link between the Tea Party and violence, but nowhere else.

One difference between this and Oklahoma City: McVeigh, nut case that he was, was an easier tie-in to right wing causes. His specific complaint was the Waco fiasco. A lot of us on the right were upset about that incident too - but we’re not murderers.

This guy strikes me as just a plain, non-ideological nut.

The attempt to criminalize conservatism is nothing new, and politically it doesn't work very well. How well did it work for Clinton to blame OK City on Rush? Let's remember this in November 2012 and teach them another lesson. Their vicious hatred will be punished.

BTW, it only gets worse from here. I fear the jelly spines of the Republicans more than anything else. They have neither courage nor integrity.

I think it is quite reasonable to do some searching to find Leftwingtard sites that carried news of the attack on the Congresswoman BEFORE it happened.

That happened last Spring when Leftwingtard bloggers were describing verbal assaults on black Congresscritters by TEA Party folks BEFORE those black Congresscritters had left the House Office Building.

This time it involves several murders. All you gotta' do is find one instance.

It's probably going to involve just two words "Congresswoman shot"

Might even be a story about that posted 24 hours before the event.

I just listened to the woman that helped hold Jared down after the attack. She was on an attack herself about the right wing causing this. Her words were something along the lines of the right and the right wing radio and the republican’s trying to pass some bill have to stop.

Loughner supposedly had written contact with Congresswoman Giffords in 2007 over something he wasn’t happy with at that time...(can’t give a source on this other than I heard it on FoxNews)...this was long before the first tea party or townhall meeting...

I have no doubt that we’re paying hand picked democrat party attorneys to coach everyone down there.

I’m also concerned that all the judges have been recused from working on the case. They can’t even sign search warrants involving this case.

It doesn’t help to have people like Shepherd Smith who, while interviewing Patricia Maisch, allowed her to indict the “right” for this massacre and declare something needs to be done about them. Any admiration I might have felt for this woman disappeared immediately.

I think every time I consider how much trouble our country is in, I soon find that it is much worse than I had thought.

Some days it seems that we are walking uphill in sand.

I think that ass-hats like the Tuscon sheriff are like farts. When they first hit a room they can be tough to deal with, but in time, they simply fade away.

I also think that the Tuscon sheriff looks goofy with his combover.

That's a real possibility. I read something along those lines yesterday.

"this has been going on for 40 years now...more or less"

I'm sure that's right. I was watching footage on the History Channel of the aftermath of the JFK assassination. The media was talking to some guy on the streets of NY right after it was reported that Kennedy was shot, and he blamed "Right Wingers" for the assassination, clearly before he even knew anything about it.

Obama’s first response to the gulf oil spill was to send attorneys.

It’s the “media’s” way of telling Americans that they are a bunch of morons for throwing out the commies.

I agree. But it is a little different this time. There is a personalized target (ala alinsky in Sarah Palin). The left is still pizzed off that her daughter made the finals in DWTS and her Alaska series on TLC is doing so well. The MSM (or as someone else put it, MFM) is desperately looking for a shovel with which to bury our dear Sarah. They seem to think that this event will be a most effective tool.

What they seem to miss is all of the prayers that were offered up as soon as the news broke. God will determine what happens next just as he saved this woman from the bullets. And I think he might just guide this thing in a direction that liberals will not like.

Please continue to pray for rep Giffords, the Palin family(Bristol in particular since she is moving to AZ) and our country. This will come out on the side of goodness and right.

President Obama: OFFENDER NUMERO UNO

I was against President Obama’s rhetoric especially for a President.

1. “hostage takers” , when the hostage takers are going to harm
the hostage you have to do something

explaining the tax package at a press conference in DECEMBER 2010

2. the Republicans have to sit in the back of the bus

3. punish your enemies

Agreed. He's a Hinckley.

It is worth contemplating, when you consider that Xlintoon’s Presidency was on the ropes before the Al Queda attack in OKC. The Xlintoon’s War Room was a remarkable p.r. imprinting instrument, and BJ got his message out and formed public opinion. After that his presidency flourished to the point where he was able to survive perjury, rape, and treason.

Obamao does not have a War Room to compete with Xlintoon, but he does have 100% of the lamestream media with him (Fox News will sit this one out). They will portray anyone even remotely opposed to Rats as potential spree killers, and the mindless drones sitting in front of their televisions will believe it.

This horrific tragedy by a deranged leftist will be the turning point for Bammy. With his sanctimonious blatherings, I expect his poll numbers to climb steadily frm this point on.

I think the left’s attack on Palin is remarkably like an old style witch hunt...literally.

They will. Anyone can see the Euro Trash Media for what it is at this point.
