One – Sarah Palin’s map was nothing out of the ordinary:

When this controversy first broke out last March, I identified two similar maps produced by Democrats, one from the DLC in 2004 and one from the DCCC in 2009. Both maps used bullseyes to target Republicans. Neither map raised any eyebrows at the time on the left or the right.

To date, Fox News (and Sarah Palin herself) have mentioned the existence of these maps, but the MSM has refused to do so. Reports from CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, the Washington Post, the NY Times–all presented stories focused on Palin’s map and failed to place it in context by reporting on the Democratic maps. By doing so (to this moment), the media unfairly singled out Palin and the Tea Party for abuse.

Two – Jared Loughner’s fixation on Rep. Giffords pre-dated the Tea Party and Sarah Palin

By Sunday afternoon it was known via a court filing that Loughner’s fixation on Giffords dated back to 2007. This is well before the Tea Party existed and before anyone in the lower 48 had heard of Sarah Palin. Whatever excuse the press may have had for mentioning Palin and the Tea Party initially, it was no longer justifiable by Sunday afternoon.

And yet the media didn’t let a little thing like metaphysical impossibility stop them from associating Palin with the killings. After all, why should the half-dimensional arrow of time spoil a good controversy? I saw lots of conservative blogs making this point Sunday. Perhaps it was noted by the networks, but if so it was only in passing.

Three – Jared Loughner’s verifiable ideological commitments are on the left

Hey liberals! Don't let facts get in the way of a smear!

Keep going full tilt and let everyone know exactly who you are!

I hope you do!
 
:eusa_boohoo:

What you continue to overlook is that everyone knows what Sarah Palin is and they have since McCain disagreed with her hatred in that townhall.

She is a dumb tool.
 
Guilty conscience? You guys remind me of the poor defense attorney tasked with defending the indefensible. It is not a specific single thing, it is an atmosphere of anti-government and anti Obama that is the cause of so much renewed violence and hatred of government. You libertarians are even worse than conservatives when it comes to this nonsense. You live in a fantasyland in which because you are doing OK everything is fine with the world - with no consideration of the whys or the structure that supports you.

"As the president said in Tucson, we lack not just civil discourse, but honest discourse. Much of last week’s televised bloviation was dishonest, dedicated to the pious, feel-good sentiment that both sides are equally culpable for the rage of the past two years. To construct this false equivalency, every left-leaning Web site and Democratic politician’s record was dutifully culled for incendiary invective. If that’s the standard, then both sides are equally at fault — rhetoric can indeed be as violent on the left as on the right.

But that sidesteps the issue. This isn’t about angry blog posts or verbal fisticuffs. Since Obama’s ascension, we’ve seen repeated incidents of political violence. Just a short list would include the 2009 killing of three Pittsburgh police officers by a neo-Nazi Obama-hater; last year’s murder-suicide kamikaze attack on an I.R.S. office in Austin, Tex.; and the California police shootout with an assailant plotting to attack an obscure liberal foundation obsessively vilified by Beck." http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/16/opinion/16rich.html?_r=1&scp=1&sq=frank rich&st=Search

"The anti-tax arguments of conservatives and libertarians also rely heavily on denying the connection between the people and their government. They do not want us to see public money as “our” money being spent for “our” benefit. Grover Norquist, for instance, rankles when people refer to the government as “we.” When the interviewer Terry Gross pointed out to him that “The Bush tax cuts would cost us about $1.1 trillion over the next 10 years, and we're going to be hundreds of billions of dollars in debt.” He responded by saying: “Well, there's a very interesting use of the word 'we.' Every time you use the word 'we,' you meant the government, and I tend to use the word 'we' to mean the American people and to speak of the government as the government.” " http://www.governmentisgood.com/articles.php?aid=17&p=7

"That is why they equate Sean Hannity with Keith Olbermann. That is why most celebrate an ever loosening of gun control laws; that is why they act as if &#8220;entitlement&#8221; programs are socialistic; that is why they campaign militantly against financial and corporate regulation in the name of a pure market that has never existed anywhere; that is why they speak in the name of a single, bellicose God for all Americans rather than a society of deep pluralism; that is why they resist unemployment insurance for the lower middle class; and that is why they push the filibuster envelope to the most extreme degree in the history of the country." <a href="http://contemporarycondition.blogspot.com/2011/01/radical-right-extreme-right-and.html">Read article here.</a>

Barack Obama has survived a multi-year firestorm of anti-Obama media attacks on him. Why? Because he has the strength and brains and character to withstand it.

Sarah Palin is going down in flames in the same sort of firestorm from the anti-Palin media. Why? Because she doesn't have the strength and brains and character to withstand it.

Only the strong survive and no one is getting a pass. Quit whining about it.

What you continue to overlook is that everyone in the country has seen and recognized the lies perpetrated by the media about this tragedy. Instead of focusing on the victims, they created millions more 'victims' by lying about a tragedy for political point scoring. They fooled no one.... except those who are incapable of seeing anything other than their own partisan bullshit.

I am surprised that you are one of those people, Sarah. It isn't about Palin. It's about the bullshit and lies from the MSM. Do you find it acceptable for the media to keep repeating those lies? Do you even know they are lies?
 
Three Exculpatory Facts the MSM Continues to Overlook in the Arizona Shootings

Just admit it.

This whole thread was an excuse so you could use the word "Exculpatory"

Thinking liberals and lefties agree with you, incidently.

The source of the vitriol is BIPARTISAN.

I know you cannot admit that we agree with you, but really, that's not our problem, that's your problem.

lol ...

It's certainly bipartisan but you will have no luck getting to the OP to own up to anything.

However, interestingly enough depending on how much stock you put in polls about half the country assigns some blame to the political and pundit rhetoric for the Arizona shooting.

It's no wonder the Malkin's of the world are losing their Cheerios over this.

It is the dishonesty contained within the MSM that makes it partisan. Own it. It is your side. Less than an hour after the shooting, the NYT was running with it being a 'right wing extremist'. Less than an hour! Jack shit about the victims, absolutely no facts, just their stupid 'speculation' masquerading as fact. And not one of our board's intelligent liberals has the balls to call out the liberal media for it. Not one.

This is not a bipartisan shitpile. This one is down to the liberals. Your media. Hold them to a higher standard.

And... for the record, I would absolutely be calling out the right wing media had they started this shitpile. But they didn't.

Claiming the left did not and continues to attack Palin claiming she was responsible is a lie. We have all the major Networks to prove it. We have numerous Democratic Congresspeople to prove it. We have a petition started to charge her with a crime to prove it. We have the GLARING fact that in 2004 and 2009 Democrats used the EXACT same bullseyes on Republicans they were targeting and not a peep from the Media or the left over it to prove it.

Bipartisan my ass. As for the claim half of the population thinks Palin is guilty, you may want to rethink that claim.

Cheap shots at the opposition (are we allowed to call them opponent these days, or is that too mean?).... are entertaining... but not terribly accurate. If we are gonna hold the 'opposition' to a standard, we really need to maintain that standard ourselves.

Frankly, I don't care who cast the first stone.

Long before the shooting I've been saying that our media and 24 the hour outrage cycle is out of control and playing a role in tearing this country apart. I'm glad these people are having their feet held to the fire.

Palin took down the map and I guarantee you won't be hearing that shoot em up rhetoric from her (her trademark schtick) anytime soon,

so she's essentially, albeit tacitly, admitted it was wrong. She should at least have the character to admit it out loud.

FROM YOUR LINK.


question...... Premise being , how much to you blame the following....

A map on Sarah Palin's website that marked 20 Congressional districts, including the District represented by the Congresswoman who was shot, with an image that looked like the cross hairs of a gun?

Great Deal 19%
Moderate amount 16 %
NOT MUCH 15%
NOT AT ALL 44%
No opinion 5%

If we lump the moderate with the great we get 35 percent.
If we lump the Not much with the Not at all we get 59%
I would suggest the no opinion goes with the second group.

Further when asked if Harsh Rhetoric might cause a similar incident in the future only 25 percent said Very Likely.

You need to learn how to read for comprehension as I made no claim about Palin.

However, since you bring it up Palin is reaping what she sowed. Between the map and Giffords' public complaint about it did you really expect that she wasn't going to have to answer some tough questions?

Palin played with fire and got burned.

No, of course you don't..... it would be a tad inconvenient for your political views for you to 'care' about why this shitstorm kicked off.

And, so have I. Big fucking deal. The problem is you aren't holding the liberal media's feet to the fire. Y'all are ignoring the inconvenient truth and bitching about how Palin has reacted. Bad form. Failing the 'honest' test.

I'm not blaming Palin. I said she's reaping what she sowed. She chose to put up the map ... she chose to ignore Congresswoman Giffords and now she has to deal with the backlash because of what unfortunately happened two Saturday's ago. Sucks but thems the breaks.
