I think it’s already apparent that BoyBlue is not Loughner.
The point is that this “hate speech” could have inspired the shooter. Isn’t that what you’ve heard all day from lefties that all the Tea Party rhetoric pushed one of us wack jobs over the edge and he opened fire?
If it wasn’t Sarah Palin’s crosshairs, perhaps it was this left wing hate speech that pushed this lunatic over the edge and caused this rampage.
Just using their tactics against them, what’s good for the goose is good for the gander.
Homosexual, Leftist, SOB, child murderer and would be assassin.
Hang the bastard.
“Just using their tactics against them, whats good for the goose is good for the gander.”
Aren’t conservatives supposed to be better that that?
I took some screenshots of blueboy’s threats earlier today.
I doubt anyone here is suggesting that. This is more of a counter against KOS for claiming Sarah Palin's use of "bullseye" prompted the attempted assassination (see post 4). Meanwhile, it appears the shooter was a leftwing lunatic, as most of these weirdos turn out to be.
Thanks.

Unabomber essay urges attacks on 'techno-industrial system'
July 27, 2002 | By Dan Eggen, Dominic Gates, Washington Post
In an article published this spring by Green Anarchy, a radical environmental newsletter, [unabomber Ted] Kaczynski calls on revolutionaries to "eliminate the entire techno-industrial system" by "hitting where it hurts" and disparages the activities of most radicals as "pointless."
******************************************************
From the Wall Street Journal
NOVEMBER 24, 2007
Oswald was a dedicated communist who had defected to the Soviet Union in 1959 out of disgust with American capitalism. After becoming disillusioned with Soviet life, he returned to the U.S. in 1962. In early 1963, he bought a scoped rifle through the mail and soon used it to fire a shot (which missed) at retired general Edwin Walker, the head of the John Birch Society in Dallas. In the summer of 1963, Oswald was active in street demonstrations in support of Castro. In September 1963, he visited the Soviet and Cuban embassies in Mexico City seeking a travel visa that would allow him to travel to Cuba.
Oswald was among the radicals of the time who saw Third World revolutionaries like Castro as the wave of the communist future. He was well aware of Kennedy's efforts to overthrow Castro's regime. As a Senate investigative committee suggested in 1975, Oswald shot Kennedy to interrupt his administration's plans to assassinate Castro or to overthrow his regime in Cuba.
Ignoring Oswald's communist links, journalists and political leaders quickly claimed the president was a martyr to civil rights. Earl Warren said that Kennedy had "suffered martyrdom as a result of the hatred and bitterness that has been injected into the life of our nation by bigots." Martin Luther King said the assassination had to be viewed against the backdrop of violence against civil rights marchers in the South. James Reston wrote in the New York Times that "something in the nation itself, some strain of madness and violence, had destroyed the highest symbol of law and order."
The consensus opinion was that Kennedy was a victim of hate and bigotry, a casualty of his support for civil rights. The Cold War and Kennedy's ongoing feud with Castro were rarely mentioned as factors behind the assassination. The reasons? Mrs. Kennedy wanted her husband remembered as a modern-day Abraham Lincoln. Lyndon Johnson feared complicating relations with the Soviet Union. Liberals feared a replay of the McCarthy period, when the Wisconsin senator inflamed public opinion about fears of domestic communism.
Whose says conservatives aren’t supposed to fight back? You go right ahead if you want to, I’m certainly not going too.
Good job .

Arent conservatives supposed to be better that that?

You’re missing the point.
The assertion that it’s always the Tea Party or talk radio or “right wing hate speech” that’s dangerous and leads to violence, etc. is ridiculous.
If their ridiculous claims about such speech are true, then it must be true about them as well.
We, as conservatives believe that the individuals alone are responsible for their crimes.
We’re just pointing out what hypocrites they are, they had a bullseye on the Congress woman in 2008, are they responsible for the shooting today? No, is Sarah Palin responsible for the shooting today? No, but there’s literally THOUSANDS of posts on various websites blaming Palin, Beck, Limbaugh, and FreeRepublic for the shooting.
The left are the KINGS of hate speech and violent rhetoric, and this is a good time to point it out while they’re pointing the finger at us.
yes i am fully aware. VERY bad timing on my part. (0+ / 0-)as the understatement of the year. but how was i supposed to know? and i am letting go of my anger at Giffords for helping the media create an anti-Pelosi and anti-111th Congress meme by being one of NINETEEN Democrats who failed to vote for my girl Nancy for Minority Leader. I am OF COURSE sooo glad Giffords looks like she will recover and i so hope she recovers quickly to get back on the horse and and back to representing us. but i still am not happy about her vote against Pelosi.
The freepers, teabaggers, and repugs in general are just trying to preliminarily deflect any blame when it is inevitably found out that this assassin has ties and/or sympathies to the far right. and they know this. i am SURE this killer voted for that fascist fuckball, Jesse Kelly. and i am SURE he's a registered repug.
Not a single issue voter, but if I was, gay rights would be it. I just want Democrats to be tough. And I wish Obama were tougher. That's all. I'm a proud gay!
Daily Kos are hypocrites?
Who knew! They’re pretty stupid too.
