FOR every action in politics today, theres an overwhelming and opposite reaction.
Last week, the reaction came from conservative politicians who bridled at suggestions in the media that Jared L. Loughner may have been influenced by right-wing rhetoric and talk radio when he killed six people and gravely wounded Representative Gabrielle Giffords in a rampage on Jan. 8 in Tucson. In her video address on Wednesday, Sarah Palin said that journalists and pundits should not manufacture a blood libel that serves only to incite the very hatred and violence that they purport to condemn.
The question left unanswered: which journalists and pundits?
While there was plenty of debate in newspapers, and on radio and television about the effects of a toxic politic environment, most of the direct accusations against conservative talk radio and pundits were leveled by people online, not members of the mainstream media.
Keith Olbermann, the MSNBC host and reliable bête noire of conservative pundits, used the opportunity to recall his own use of a violent image when describing the candidacy of then-Senator Hillary Clinton: It sounded as if it was a call to physical violence. It was wrong then. It is even more wrong tonight. I apologize for it again, and I urge politicians and commentators and citizens of every political conviction to use my comment as a means to recognize the insidiousness of violent imagery.
But on the Web, where anonymity often reigns, the blame game was much more pointed. In The Huffington Post, Gary Hart wrote about attacks on liberals and concluded that today we have seen the results of this rhetoric.
On Ms. Palins Facebook wall, thousands of supporters and detractors argued about whether she and other right-wing voices had any culpability in the shootings.

Zach Osler (video at link): [pp] Zeitgeist Movement had a PROFOUND effect on shooter and how he saw the world

The Zeitgeist Movement is basically a global Marxism one:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Zeitgeist_Movement
**************************************************
Concepts advocated by the Zeitgeist Movement
* Management of the Earth's Natural Resources: Once surveyed, the Earth's natural resources will no longer be privately owned. They will be managed according to general sustainability principles of preservation, recycling and optimization.
* No Money, Barter, Trade or Property: The monetary value of commodities does not represent the actual physical supply of natural resources, or their utilitarian value, which is integral to the success of the type of sustainable global society that the Zeitgeist Movement advocates. Income is a requirement for individuals to sustain life in a monetary system, so this in turn creates the need for commodities to be continuously bought and sold and for goods to be continuously produced, in order to make sure that the operation of social functions is maintained. This, combined with competition over market share, creates an abundance of goods that usually exceeds the demand for them, which in turn depletes natural resources and may create excessive waste.
Furthermore, the profit motive inherent in a monetary system, creates an incentive to increase profits regardless of the impact on human beings or the environment. When labor is displaced or outsourced, it either removes a laborer's source of sustenance, or takes advantage of inexpensive laborers. Certain manufacturers and corporations have been noted to contaminate the environment by dumping their by-products and waste materials, instead of disposing of them properly, in order to save money. Other manufacturers have been known to take advantage of a process called planned obsolescence in order to increase sales of their products over time. With universal access to goods and services provided by a sustainable means of production based on resource availability, optimization and preservation, these problems of a monetary economy can be overcome.
* Automation: Machine automation is more productive than human labor and replaces the need for people to perform repetitive and tedious tasks.
* Technological Unification of the Earth: Globally networked technological infrastructure is required to monitor planetary resources in real time, and theoretically make the most efficient use of them in solving planetary problems.
* Scientific Methodology: Decision making regarding the methods of production, what goods and services are to be provided, city planning and resource optimization, preservation and recycling will be arrived at by analysing relevant trends and data, via use of the scientific method.
* Sustainable City Systems: Utilizing a systemic approach for a sustainable global society, city systems may act as microcosm to the global network of technological infrastructure. The city system can incorporate all manufacturing, goods and services that people will use on a daily basis within the city limits. The city system may also utilize a cybernetic central computer to monitor energy and resource supply, usage and other relevant data in real time, relaying this information to other city systems that make up the macrocosm of the technologically unified globe.
Given that the screw ball was a lefty, perhaps he shot Giffords because she, being a Conservative Blue Dog democrat, wasnt left enough for him.
That's an outright lie. Within hours the media was all naming names, the same names, all in perfect synchronization.
Ah, yes, the MSM penchant for hiding behind false and offsetting equivalencies!

Hello NY Times - look no further than your own glass house. Paul Krugman still works there.
Should one of these names become part of a future violent act again Palin, will the left point fingers at itself for inaction?
They'll be too busy celebrating. Like a rape victim, she brought it on herself, doncha know.

Actually, the preferred term is Obama Run Government Assisted State Media ... or O.R.G.A.S.M.
The Times seems to forget that it was their own Paul Krugman who led the charge putting the blood libel out there.
Here's a link to the first one:
That's an outright lie.
Correct. CNN and Yahoo were among the SRM cabal touting the SarahPAC map. I noticed these two without even searching. I just stumbled across them.
