Something changed profoundly in the aftermath of the Arizona tragedy; a sea change that should have the lib-left and their running dog mainstream media in an utter panic.
Democrats are learning the hard way that Rahm Emanuel’s famous pronouncement, “Never let a crisis go to waste” does not include getting away with blaming the mass murder of a deranged killer on the Tea Party and Talk Radio.
It will not be tolerated by the masses who recognize straight off that there is no decency in exploiting the deaths of six innocents and the wounding of 14 others, including a representative of the US House of Congress.

Oh, but can you imagine what will happen if they find something like a McCain-Palin sign in the kids garage, or (heaven forbid!) the word “ditto” somewhere on his hard drive?
I was struck and saddened by the news coverage over the weekend. Rather than having any remorse for the deaths of innocents to a madman, the MSM on more than one channel instead launched right into a debate about talk radio, Sarah Palin and gunsight imagery, the sharp political rhetoric we hear, etc.
The most fair minded talking heads have said that liberals also use incendiary rhetoric. But to me, that is completely beside the point. We should not be having this national soul searching debate about talk radio and political rhetoric at this time. The MSM and liberals have no shame, otherwise they would be very ashamed of starting this debate, rather than grieving over the tragic loss of life.
Those conservatives will be given the new “Dupnik Rights”.
Everything you say will be a crime so you better shut up.
Anything you say we do not like is a crime.
You can not have a lawyer because none are needed in totalitarianism.
and you will not be given a trial.
Paul Wellstone funeral all over again.
