Posted on January 9, 2011 at 1:41amBeck, Palin and Limbaugh need to stop with this ‘take the high road’ strategy and start suing the h*ll out of some of these Liberals for slander.

Posted on January 9, 2011 at 3:14amI have a feeling it will be the families that lost loved ones that will be doing the sueing.
Palin is done, finished, never will be taken as a serious candidate after this.
Done.
Never.
No matter how the right wing tries to spin this.
McCain never denounced her violent rhetoric either, saying it was ‘just political & didnt mean anything’. He will eat those words. It looks very, very bad for both of them here in Arizona.
Sarah Palin, the Cheerleader of Violence(tm)
Forever branded.
Even though Sarahpac took down this poster of violence today.
She is finished.

Posted on January 9, 2011 at 9:43amWhitetea, you are truly blind and ignorant! And I feel sorry for you, very sorry for you! No matter, the guy was a leftist, no matter his favorite books include The Communist Manifesto and Mein Kampf, leftist titles indeed, and railed against our Constiution for the most part. No matter, that Vann Jones, Trumpka and Piven openly call for violent social revolution, no the truth just escapes you totally! No Matter, the Daily Kos, said just two days ago that Gabby was DEAD to them for voting against Pelosi, nah, all that didn’t happen. You are looking through your glass onion, with rose colored glasses, and you go off about Palin…you are a piece of work! However, I continue to pray to Jesus Christ, for your soul, Amen.

Posted on January 9, 2011 at 1:29amThe jump to Sarah Palin was a cheap shot. I am glad that Wolf did ask if there was any link known and force them to say “NO” on the air. We live in a different world now. When I was young, someone said they were going to kill you, it meant an as%whippin’ in the parking lot after school. Now, the sanctity of life is lost to many of the youth. The sheriff should not have made conclusions before an full investigation. Rhetoric is freedom of speech, from both sides, unless it directs others to violently attack others. I mourn for the Representative, the Judge but also for all of those US citizens killed along the border.

Posted on January 9, 2011 at 2:41amWell, why aren‘t they talking about the actual KILLER’S facebook, myspace, and youtube? There should be plenty there, especially when you add in the scrubbed bit from the Daily Kos and his former friend’s twitter info. Why Sarah at all? It’s ridiculous the way they extrapolate when ANYTHING bad happens. And hey, if it didn‘t happen they’ll just make something up.
Why use this tragic event to denigrate somone who had nothing whatsoever to do with it. The guy probably never paid a second of attention to anything about Sarah Palin–he’s gay and on top of that too busy “conscience dreaming.” Why must they always do this pile on? Conservatives, successful people, Christians…in Palin’s case, probably jealousy. I know that lady is just as upset as anyone else about what happened in Tucson today and her name shouldn’t even be involved unless she was contacted for comment!

Posted on January 9, 2011 at 2:30amDo you listen to Beck? I know it‘s inside us already otherwise we wouldn’t care enough to be involved. But as for Glenn Beck, I think the man is a Godsend, maybe literally. I‘m not saying he’s perfect or anything like that. What I am saying is he brings clarity. He unabashedly talks about God and what is good about America, what our country was founded on, who made us great and why. He helps people think about how we can get back to who Americans really are when you strip away all the extraneous day in day out stuff that keeps us too busy to think straight. He has contributed in a huge way to keeping the frustration level tamped down and helped people realize they need to refocus it and do something positive with it, whether calling/writing congress people, improving themselves, improving their community. He offers insight, research direction and FACTS and covers the stuff many people might never hear otherwise because our media has failed us terribly. It’s a much better source than Jon Stewart or Steven Colbert! I figure if just one person‘s life turns around for the better because they realized by listening to him that they are not alone or there’s another way to do something than to strike out with anger, or they help someone else, I feel he’s done a good thing. I don’t agree 100% but that’s OK, we’re usually on the same page. I’ll listen as long as I can because he feels like a friend, one who is actually paying attention to the world around them and has ideas on how to make it better that really work. Much like yourself!

Posted on January 9, 2011 at 1:31amIt is the left wing media that spews hatred in our nation, it is the left wing media that has divided our nation. Palin has nothing at all to do with this, and the sherriff is speaking out of line when he blames radio, for he would be talking about conservative. The sherriff needs to read the rantings a little better. He doesn’t have any idea why this young man went off his rocker, but probably been getting there for a number of years, and perhaps fried his brain with drugs so that logic no longer lived in his brain. I do wish people would stop blaming, the left is full of hate and all you have to do is read their blogs which make little more sense than the ramblings of the young man that went out to kill people. I like to read the comments of those who have sympathy for those shot and for their families and are in prayer for them, they are the ones who are true Americans.

What we are finding out, this was on Fox this a.m., is that videos posted on his youtube and myspace accounts link him to American Renaissance, an ultra-conservative “anti-ZOG and anti-semitic” group. His postings include these views: abortion is terrorism, unconstitutional/treasonous government, conspiracy theorist, near top of his concerns: “mentally deficient” immigrants, “retarded,” anti-immigration, need to return to the gold standard… The first step to solving the problem of violence is admitting it.

Posted on January 9, 2011 at 1:49amI can’t even watch these chicks. I mean, look at the still shot. If those don’t look like a couple of pi$$ed off biotches…
I’m willing to give them the benefit of the doubt though, just the same. What they REALLY were trying to say is that the all the nasty, over-the-top rhetoric about Palin coming from their side was just getting the lefties and other assorted nutjobs all fired up, thus creating an atmosphere which is conducive to a tragic event like this…that this guy just hated the more conservative political women in general, so he picked the closest one (whom he called “stupid and unintelligent” a few years ago after speaking with her), right? They’re hacked off about that, right? No?
I pray foremost for the Congresswoman to pull through and be good as new eventually; secondly for all those families who lost loved ones and those who are hurt or hurting, then the for the rest of us. This deeply affects us all. If I wasn’t feeling a bit reactionary toward all the insults and vitriole (as well as outright BS) coming from the other side I wouldn’t even be posting anything other than condolences. That’s all this calls for–that and coming together to support each other. But no, the left is trying to tear us apart instead. WHY?!?

Posted on January 9, 2011 at 1:49amWait until theY stop blaming Glenn and Palin and start blaming the Internet…here‘s some info for you in case you didn’t know…can you say “back door” sneaky tricks to get a National ID Card!!!!
President Obama is planning to hand the U.S. Commerce Department authority over a forthcoming cybersecurity effort to create an Internet ID for Americans.
It’s “the absolute perfect spot in the U.S. government“ to centralize efforts toward creating an ”identity ecosystem” for the Internet, White House Cybersecurity Coordinator Howard Schmidt said.
That news, first reported by CNET, effectively pushes the department to the forefront of the issue, beating out other potential candidates including the National Security Agency and the Department of Homeland Security. The move also is likely to please privacy and civil liberties groups that have raised concerns in the past over the dual roles of police and intelligence agencies.
The Obama administration is currently drafting what it’s calling the National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace, which Locke said will be released by the president in the next few months.
“We are not talking about a national ID card,” Locke said at the Stanford event. “We are not talking about a government-controlled system. What we are talking about is enhancing online security and privacy and reducing and perhaps even eliminating the need to memorize a dozen passwords, through creation and use of more trusted digital identities.”
SURE…WE BELIEVE THAT!?!?

I haven’t seen him in person since ’07 in a sign language class … He was a political radical & met Giffords once before in ’07, asked her a question & he told me she was “stupid & unintelligent”

Posted on January 9, 2011 at 2:32amwhitetea party..please stop. you, i and all the lil libs KNOW this had NOTHING to do with palin, rush glenn or anything else. CNN and the rest of the liberals always try to put the blame on us. they tried it with the irs bombing-communist. they tried it with the attempted time square bombing-muslim terrorist. they reflexivly blame us because in the end they KNOW that the left is far more violent and vitriolic than we are and that fact is easily prooveable. you will take any comment that has nothing to do with anything and make it into some big thing. while at the same time completly ignore or dismiss ACTUAL THREATS from the left. you stick to the pc mantra and fact never come into play. im not suprised the left is trying to blame us, im suprised it took them so long. so when this is prooven to be a left winger the left will still proceed by saying the ‘evil right drove this poor man to this terrible end’. theleft is nothing if not totally predictable, which is why they loose

Posted on January 9, 2011 at 3:56amThe left are desperate.
They must be really REALLY afraid of the political power of conservatives.
And the attacks on Sarah Palin show me they are panicked that she will become president in 2012. If not then how do you explain one Lefty after another willing to trash their own reputation with bald faced lies, such as Eugene Robinson’s claim that “almost all violent rhetoric comes from the right”?
If voter fraud and the corruption of the political process has failed to keep the left safe, then I am frightened about what they may be tempted to do outside of the political process to keep power from slipping from their fingers.

Posted on January 9, 2011 at 8:26amThese are not “news reporters”. They do not report news or facts. They report rumors in an attempt to be the “breaking story”. They don’t know why this guy murdered so many people, they don’t know what the agenda was here. What they do know is that they hate Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Tea Party members, and conservatives in general, so those are the people who must be responsible for this.
It doesn’t matter to these “news reporters” that they are wrong about their facts. They don’t really “know” why, or who was involved. It doesn’t matter to them that they are only muddying the situationa or making it worse, only that they are flapping their gums in front of the camera for the precious five or ten seconds allotted.
And quite truthfully, one of these days, people are going to wake up and see how much garbage these “news reporters” are spewing out and they will be left high and dry. That’s why people listen to Glenn and others.

Until a few years ago, I was a Dem. But when I watched what the left was doing during Obama’s campaign, I switched to Repub, because what the left was doing, was NOT what I stood for nor believed in. I was estatic that we had a black man running for Prez, finally we had come so far in our country. But then I watched, listened, and actually became afraid. A black man as Prez…YES. But not this one. Obama frightened me, it was so obvious that he hated this country. Our country, yours and mine. Up until Obama came on the scene, we had worked out our differences, but now the hate became more important. The division of Americans. The country being pulled apart, and being moved backwards in time, and orchestrated by our now President. The left have always been awake and have done their best to ruin our country, while the right has just awoken and are fighting back to save our country.
The killings in Arizona is the work of a very mentally ill man. Not left, not right, just very sick. I am not blaming anyone for these killings except for Jared Loughner. We will one dy know what was in his mind, but for now, can we not put aside our differences for just a little while? I mean you no harm. Why do you want to harm me?

So now we know, a George Soros site fomented the hatred against her all for voting against Nancy Pelosi. Now that we know the actual facts one must ask is Nancy responsible for this kind of hatred? Since the writer and shooter were gay, are gay’s responsible? Olberman, Schultz and many others in the left wing nut media spew hate daily, are they responsible? The fact us a left wing extremist committed this act and left wing extremists in the media blamed it on peaceful conservatives. The left is sick. It is perverted and I want to know why those reprobates who blamed this on the Tea Party and Beck still have a job? We have to assume that MSNBC supports this line of thinking. Maybe it should be shut down.

Posted on January 9, 2011 at 12:02pm@SCBIKERCHICK… You are probably right about there not being another suspect and how they are trying to take the focus off the communist shooter. Much like when JFK was killed by a communist shooter. You would never know it though with people like Oliver Stone(communist) taking the scent off of communism. America needs to have a real conversation about how the left is destroying America and how they ginn up the mentally unstable and haters to do their dirty work.

Posted on January 9, 2011 at 9:37pmNo one should be saying anything about this except to say how sorry they are for the people who were killed or wounded and their family and friends. Anything else is just wrong. I feel deeply sorry for all the people directly affected by this shooting. I especially feel for the parents of the young girl, who was killed. There are no words that can give these people their loved ones back, and no words that can give them comfort. I hope that their faith can help them get through their pain. Let all the talk of blame cease and let everyone who believes in prayer do just that. Pray for those people.
