Democrat Underground Starts 'Petition To Indict Sarah Palin As An Accesory To Murder'

[USArmyRetired]

These members that just started this better think what they are doing. A published slander is a libel and libel judgments are usually much bigger. I hope DU has deep pockets. That piece of slander is going to cost especially since they have zero evidence to prove that. This is a act of desperation and pure hate towards Palin that is unheard of in modern day politics. Sarah Palin had absolutely nothing to do with this act of violence against Giffords or the other citizens that tragic day.


Pundit Press: Members of DU Start "Petition to Indict Sarah Palin as an Accessory to Murder"

In the aftermath of the Jared Loughner shootings, crazed assumptions were being thrown out by the left. From, Loughner is a crazed conservative to, Loughner is a Tea Partier out to get Democrats. The one that finally took with the left, however, was thus: sure, Jared Loughner was crazy, but people like Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin pushed him to the brink!

Did they have evidence? No. Did they have a motive to suggest their assumption? No. Was there evidence saying that they were wrong? Absolutely. Regardless, however, liberals pushed forward.

Enter Democratic Underground.

Known as a liberal bastion, "DU" is one of the biggest leftist sites on the internet. Literally minutes after news broke about the shootings in Arizona, DU members were some of the first to blindly blame Sarah Palin for the shooting. Even more stupid: members of Democratic Underground actually started a petition to "Indict Sarah Palin as an Accessory to Murder."

Here is the entire last paragraph from the written petition:

And because this incitement to violence resulted in the deaths of so many people, including a federal judge and a nine-year-old child, who were the innocent victims of what seems clearly an attack on a United States Congresswoman, Gabrielle Giffords, who survives, we believe that Sarah Palin should be made to answer in court, under oath for her egregious abuse of the precious right of Free Speech. In our humble opinion, she is criminally liable for the deaths of the victims of Jared Lee Loughner in Tucson on January 9, 2011, and for the attempted murder of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords.

Sarah Palin is a public figure. As such she does not have the same recourse in libel action as would a private individual unless she can prove that any defamatory statements against or about her were motivated by actual malice, which is almost impossible to establish.

"Answer in court"? These are some especially stupid liberals, USArmyRetired. There is no theory of criminal liability that could possibly be stretched that far. BTW, it is not slander (which is spoken) or libel. To be such, it would need to be a statement of fact, spoken with actual malice or malicious disregard for the truth, and cause Palin an economic loss.

I wouldn't get heatburn. This is so out-there, even I wouldn't want to join that dogpile.

My dear boy, this is evidence.

The location in Arizona of Congresswoman Giffords, as with the other targets, is shown on the map by a circle and the crosshairs of a rifle. The map in question is shown on many sites on the Internet. You can find it at Sarah Palin's PAC Puts Gun Sights On Democrats She's Targeting In 2010. It has been discussed by major media including the NEW YORK TIMES and the WASHINGTON POST.

The website Sarah Palin's Official PAC | SarahPAC - Sarah Palin's Official PAC posted the following language in the form of a classified advertisement:

"Sat 6/12/10. 10 a.m. Get on Target for Victory in November. Help Remove Gabrielle Giffords from office Shoot a fully automatic M16 with Jesse Kelly." The identification of an actual weapon to be used is a clear suggestion.

I'm not convinced they'd pass a DNA test to confirm they're human.

I am talking about a board member that I quoted from YOUR SIDE of the aisle claiming there is evidence Sarah Palin was somehow responsible for the shootings in Arizona.

What about him?

If the poster you quoted thinks Sarah Palin is directly responsible for the Gabrielle Giffords shooting then they have a nutbar take on it.

I'm not seeing the problem here.

OK maybe someone should start a petition to indict the punk rock group Antiflag as an accesory to murder.

Various rock bands as well as record stores, etc. have been sued civilly in connection with deaths ranging from murder to suicide. To my knowledge, no such case has ever succeeded, because there is no proof of causation. Just as there is none with Palin.

Her rhetoric may be condemnation-worthy, but t'aint criminal or tortious.

My God man, you're on to something. I hope you're wearing tin foil on your head, the CIA is definitely going to be reading the mind of someone as astute as you are. People who get it like you are the real threat to them. Also a tip, never wear clothing because the NRA has secretly learned to weave thread that records what you say and relays the conversations to Michigan Militia bases in the Upper Peninsula.

Also, don't wear shoes either because Rush Limbaugh has an army of flying kangaroos tracking the movement of everyone in the country and they have been putting GPS devices in shoes. You can wear crocs though, they can't put them in the rubber material they're made from. Pink is best, it has a dampening acoustic quality that makes it even harder to track you.

Yes, you are a very brave man. I hope you live because the few like you who see through their lies are the only faint hope we have left. Godspeed my friend...

I'd imagine their goals are as stated: to see Palin indicted.

Are you seriously gonna claim there are no wingnuts on the conservative side of the aisle, Willow? If liberals are only afflicted with 58 such people, I'd say we are winning the mental health olympics.
