During a discussion on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” Tuesday, the panel conceded that conservatives and Tea Party activists were unfairly scapegoated in the wake of Jared Lee Loughner’s shooting spree in Tucson, Ariz., which killed six and left Rep. Gabrielle Giffords fighting for her life after a gunshot wound to the head. Mark Halperin of Time just thinks conservatives shouldn’t bother defending themselves, so as to avoid further political escalation.
“Obviously, the initial reaction was so offensive to conservatives it has united everybody from Rush Limbaugh to David Brooks this morning, who wrote a very, very compelling piece that the scapegoating was an offensive act,” Joe Scarborough said during a discussion about the politicization of the tragedy.
Despite claiming the media had behaved “pretty well so far,” Halperin seemed to agree with Scarborough’s assertion that “a shooting was turned into fodder to attack conservatives.” But he seemed to find more fault with how conservatives reacted to unfair attacks than with the original accusations.
“I just want to single out one thing. I think the media and the politicians have behaved pretty well so far.I’m worried about the anger of the right-wing commentariat,” Halperin said. “Fox and George Will and other conservatives are in some cases justifiably upset at liberals, but they’re turning this back into the standard operating procedure of ‘all this is war and fodder for content’ rather than trying to bring the country together.”
“Wait a second,” Scarborough responded. “I think they would say that you have that backwards, that a shooting was turned into fodder to attack conservatives.”
Halperin: “And, I already made that criticism, as well. they’re right, but rather than seizing on it and turning the other cheek, they’re back at their war stations. that’s not going to help us.”
The conversation then pivoted from a discussion of the actual facts to yet another lecture on rhetoric, with Scarborough hoping conservatives see it as a “wake-up call” on rhetoric even though he had just established that there was no connection between rhetoric and the shooting.
Damn the Leftist Torpedos. Full speed ahead. They are on the run.

And What they did to Sarah Palin was disgusting! They should give her a very public apology. Hell, they owe us all an apology!
What this jackass from Time did was basically say, hey, you guys didn't have anything to do with it, but suck it up and stop complaining.
As for Scarborough, he is about as much a conservative as Elizabeth Hasselbeck! He can go ahead and tone down his rhetoric, but I will not be toning down mine!
If there is an atmosphere of hate out there, it has been fostered by the liberal democrats! THEY can suck it up and take it. They deserve it!
If Obama Care becomes law then Doctors would buy that crap.
Yes, conservatives should keep fighting by Queensbury rules while libs bring a knife - or a gun (to paraphrase obama).
We should just take it.
We shouldn’t defend ourselves.
God forbid we go on the offensive (or rather self-defensive).
We should be quiet, shut up, and let the left define the converstaion.
In short, we should keep on losing.
Well NOT THIS CONSERVATIVE, you blithering idiots at Time /spit!

Wrong. If conservatives shut up, it will be taken as an admission of guilt. And the Democrats will pick up the ball and run with it.
Hey Halperin - I am turning my other cheek - and I fart in your general direction!
Mr. Halperin, who pals around with George Stephanopoulos
There’s an old political maxim that if you turn the other cheek, it will get smacked too.
Classic example of “ The rules apply to those of the right, while we on the left do whatever the F8ck we want, while mocking you rule followers”

The leftist politboro may be getting uncomfortable with the blowback they’re getting from this little character assassination exercise. Unless the shooter can be coached to mumble something complimentary about Palin, their media minions are likely to start backing off.
“I just want to single out one thing. I think the media and the politicians have behaved pretty well so far.I’m worried about the anger of the right-wing commentariat,” Halperin said.
Halperin should not get his wish. Conservatives should pursue this to the nth degree.
I heard a story about a boxer who became a Christian. Some guy walked up and smacked him in the face, the boxer didn’t respond. The guy smacked the boxer again, still no response. The guy smacked the boxer for a third time. The boxer put the guy on the ground. When he came to, the guy said, “Hey, you’re a Christian. You’re supposed to turn the other cheek.” The boxer said, “I ran out of cheeks”.
I think we may have run out of cheeks.
`Sweet Home America’
Hope Mark Halperin will remember, America don’t need him around anyhow.
Sorry folks but since the tea party is ow on the scene we demand equal treatment so you folks are not going to get away with what you have tried to do.It is you folks who look very bad right now not us! Turn the other cheek I think not it is better to show how much you people lie to anyone with 2 brain cells.
Those who desire to preserve, protect, and defend our natural rights have no reason to feel guilt, nothing to feel ashamed about, and no reason to apologize for or to change their rhetoric. Natural rights are God-given, and so are our natural duties to preserve, protect, defend them. From these rights and duties we derive out perfect rights, such as self-defense and rebellion against a tyrannical government. Perfect rights permit the use of force to preserve, protect, and defend those rights which we have a duty to preserve, protect, and defend. When libtards want us to stop speaking out against tyranny, they want us to disobey God.
