They will report it as such but this will damage him permanently.

He thinks he's going to get a large bump over this like Clinton did after Oklahoma City.

Of course. It offers a chance to slam AZ for "hate" culture because it wants to enforce the law re: illegals.

We already see once congresswoman (D) introducing a gun control bill and others talking about restricting-even criminalizing-political speech.

If the shooter is "mentally ill" I won't be surprised if he's held up as a reason why we can't afford to eliminate ObamaCare.

There, there. All they need to do to keep MO occupied is to hide some dog biscuits all over the house. When we have to leave our house for a little while, I do this for one of my basset hounds who has a knack for opening cabinets, unzipping duffel bags and opening any childproof lids he gets his mouth on when we are away. I hide biscuits under cushions, in corners and in the bathtub. Yes, it may seem like a lot of work and the place looks like it has been ransacked by gypsies, but it keeps his mind busy and I am secure knowing he will not have eaten all the bread he got to on the counter by pushing a dining room chair from the other room to the kitchen and using it as a springboard or eaten all my husband’s prevacid or lipitor.
I have saved much money by not having to take him to the emergency vet clinic.

As for MO, she will be so busy she won’t have the time to think of any more lamebrained salad bar ideas. Plus they will help keep her choppers clean.

“This makes him look even dumber and more left-wing than ever. He could barely be bothered when 13 soldiers were shot by a Muslim, only turning up grudgingly at the arranged event later. But because a Dem politician was shot by a random nutcase and he somehow thinks he can make this his OKC moment, he’s filling up the tank of AF1 and heading out again.

I despise him.”

Well said... and you beat me to it!

This country is seriously effed up.

They fly flags half staff for a congressional aide and a judge, meanwhile brave Americans are killed by the ragheads everyday in a war we have already promised the enemy we will walk away from, and its business as usual.

Truth be told, we need to fly the flag at half staff and upside down everyday this freeloading commie Kenyan faggot and his marxist comrades continue to control the US Government.

I fear this Country has passed the point of no return,

And that hasn't been the plan all along? Look, voting communists into positions of power can have only one outcome in America. Push back. We don't do communism, period. Want to compromise with these bastards, be my guest. But, don't cry when you're thrown out of office. That's what's taking place as I type.

Exploiting the lives lost in this tragic event is deplorable, despicable, and stinks on ice. But who started it? That doesn't matter as much as who'll finish it and I'll be damned if the Left gets a pass making this a condemnation of conservatives.

These people fight dirty and will utilize/exploit whatever they can to discredit this country and it's principles.

It's not so much a 'point of no return' as much as it is a 'we're not going to take it any more' reaction. These liars have hit the wall and STILL refuse reality.

2010 was a dose, 2012 will be the knock-out punch. To his dismay, Obama will, by losing in a landslide in 2012, have brought 'fundamental change' to America he never intended. I thank him in advance.

Wasn’t that the time he gave a ‘shout out’?

Rush had it right. He IS the absolute most unqualified person of any room he enters.

You should be disgusted... the left has destroyed this once Great Nation... we are trying to rebuild it... but I do not think that what the left has evolved into (and what they have been all along) and the rest of America are compatible. I think that we may be at a crossroads.

One thing is for certain... most Americans do not want to live in the world sim these communists and malcontents have been building. I live in a disgusted state... I pray daily for our salvation... I prepare for the worst while working for the best. So far... the left is winning... you should be disgusted.

Obama's staff say he plans, at some point, to deliver a speech that soothes the nation while urging a ratcheting down of often-violent political rhetoric.

Forget it. He had his opportunity and only ratcheted UP the rhetoric since he launched his '08 campaign. This is only a move to shut up and demonize his critics.

It's not going to work for them. They've spent so much time blaming the republicans and the tea party that they forgot to introduce the country to those who have been killed. Too late now, not enough time. America doesn't know these folks, and no matter how wonderful they were, the country was never allowed to form a connection. Add to that the fact that Gabby will probably recover.....it's going to be a zero for Zero.

The media really messed up on this one.

It’s already way past the sewer that they swam in during the Wellstone memorial. The media has done the smear prep work and now Obama will do exactly what he was advised to do..make political hay on the deaths of innocents.


The Wellstone thingy didn't work out too well for them did it?

I bet this goes the same way...

I'm thoroughly disgusted.

You're not the only one. I've been stunned and angered all weekend because a tragedy was turned into a political event. And now with *the one* coming we'll be treated to his all-about-me speech. Somehow, this mess we're in has to be fixed.

Did Soetero/Obamadinnerjacket also visit Ft. Hood and pay his respects after the murders there?

Barack Hussein Muhammad obama should stay OUT of Arizona, the State that he has been trying to destroy!!!!

He wouldn’t come to Arizona to see the sad state of border security when Governor Brewer invited him. Now he has no right to come to Arizona in order to exploit the Tucson shooting tragedy for his evil purposes!!!!

This red son of a whore has every intention of doubling down on the current marxist psyop operation and winning a decisive battle in the psywar against the GOP and the capitalist system.

Its pretty clear that while W did nothing to fight back against the constant attacks of the left, the marxist in chief freeloader currently in the WH and his comrades have encouraged their followers to demonize the GOP and the right constantly, doing everything from giving them the middle finger to sending union goons to assault peaceful protesters.

The result has been a priming of the pump for political violence of an extreme nature.

While the deranged leftist psycho that attacked this harmless wife and stepmother and other innocents for no apparent reason does not appear to be influenced by this rhetoric, there are thousands out there ready to go if another attack comes.

Therefore, it is imperative that the marxist in chief IMMEDIATELY state that the Tea Party, Palin, Limbaugh, Beck, GOP etc had NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS and get the imbeciles that follow the marxist banner in check.

His failure to do so as of yet is hardly surprising, but the GOP “leadership” ought to be insisting behind the scenes that he do so rather quickly, before all hell really breaks loose.

The marxist in chief has a chance to lead and unite or continue to divide and encourage his supporters to violence.

The silence and insinuations that the right has something to do with this is completely unacceptable behavior from a POTUS.

Lets not forget his support of the violence by his cousin Odingas supporters against a democratically elected government in Kenya, a governmnet that was forced to share power at gunpoint.

This is John Brown territory here.

A supporter of the presidential challenger Raila Odinga (OBAMAS FIRST COUSIN WHO HE CAMPAIGNED FOR) in Kibera, a sprawling slum near the capital, Nairobi.

One thing is certain though...it is clear to most now that the dems and the media are corrupt to the core. I am truly frightened by what we are witnessing from them since this whole tragic shooting. If they will stoop to accusing conservatives and Tea Party folks of being complicit in a lunatic’s rampage...what won’t they stoop to? They are building a case to shut down every conservative forum, talk show and political opponent.

The man is a sociopath....it almost makes sense that he would want to take the headlines away from the other sociopath in this story....the shooter. Obama is going to destroy this country and we all know he is trying to foment some kind of violence in the streets. The media in this country is too. They are poking people on our side just trying to get a violent reaction at this point. They know everything they are pushing is a lie. It’s all part of the marxist plan to have this country in flames.

You just said it, they want conservatives to appear to be a part of the 'lunatic fringe'. This is Rules for Radicals 101. Paint them as extremists and few 'centrists' will identify with them, less will vote for them.

I think it’s gone past that at this point. The left is trying to foment a violent reaction on our side by smearing and attacking us at every turn. Hopefully..no one will take the bait. It’s what they want.
