So? If he has some actual evidence, I’m all ears. Otherwise, he’s just another guy with an opinion. And his opinion is couched in weasel words about how children are being raised. Won’t someone think of the children is usually the butt of jokes around here.
I want him to wait a day and I don’t want a police official speculating to the media about any political motivations of a suspect while an investigation is ongoing.
What do you mean “yet again”? When have people ever not been encouraged to think things through before they act. Bush even took a moment to think, after 9/11 (hurp-a-durpily).
And what happens if you wait 'till tomorrow to blame somebody? Seriously. Name a consequence.
Conspiracy much?
There is no evidence this is a second amendment solution. None. Chill homies.
But I saw it mentioned on another forum that she “voted for Obamacare,” which to some might make a “Second Amendment solution” warranted.
Not that this is actually political; probably no more than John Hinckley, Jr., shooting Reagan was political. More of a voices-in-the-head thing.
Never mind the part about the children. Yes, it’s an opinion, but it’s an opinion of a law enforcement official who is familiar with the community in which this occurred.
But as for the actual evidence, well copious amounts have been provided in this thread, from Beck doing a skit in which he poisons Pelosi to suggestions that a loss at the ballot box should be dealt with by exercise of firearms.
Nah, you’re just a guy who won’t accept the simplest hypothesis as a starting point. In GD you mention YouTube, weird books as likely starting points. What’s the penetrance of that shit compared to Fox News and rightwing radio?
You’re flailing madly now because you don’t like where the hypothesis leads.
Intellectual cowardice does not become you, john. You’re supposed to be one of those good, honorable co nservatives. How about showing that by at least acknowledging that there’s an epidemic of rw hate speech sweeping the nation?
No, it is political, inasmuch as right-wing vitriol helped steer this delusional guy to commit these murders.
Pretty much always has been, of one stripe or another, centered on one or another political outrage committed by godless degenerates. Or, in another word, “progress”. And Beck, Palin, that ilk, don’t so much advocate violence as they flirt with it, coyly, indirectly. It strokes the “tough guy” glands of middle aged fools who should know better, like they are men of action, rugged patriots.
But this guy? So far, he reads like a proto-typical early adult onset schizophrenic. Like from Central Casting., and there’s no blaming anybody for crazy, not even him. Free will doesn’t matter if the wires are all shorted out.
Sometimes anger is a useful thing. The trick is to direct it in the right direction. As far as GWB and Iraq, that dog won’t hunt for me. None of his “facts” bore out, starting with WMD and the link with Bin Laden. Bush doesn’t even belong in this discussion.
Still, tangled, shorting wires respond unfavorably when you prod them around repeatedly using a crescent wrench.
As such, any shock the prodder receives is well deserved, even if the prodder is too damned stupid to know he’s acting recklessly.
Apparantly, the nine year old girl who was killed today was born on 9/11/01.
Maybe those pointing thier fingers at Palin, should look at The Daily Kos instead
No conspiracy is necessary in order for a nutter to be inspired by political media rhetoric.
Um, so what? Nothing in that post was indicative of violence. All the guy said was that he would no longer support her. That’s not the same thing as saying, “If she wins, we’ll settle this with the second amendment.”
Sure, why not? I can call them all sorts of foul shit too, if I think they deserve it.
You found a post from some unafilliated nut job on their site. However, I would like to point out that they themselves (the Kos site) did not make a habit of themselves calling for any sort of “gun related activities” in any of their OWN “official” writings or statements, unlike Palin’s site, or the inane ramblings of Beck - both of which have made a habit of invoking Rambo type macho bullshit (the idea of either of those pansies being macho gives me the giggles).
After all, WHO has made it a well known habit of using gun type rhetoric over the past several years???
The article you link to is full of lies, chief among them:
Two lies there, and that’s just the opening paragraph.
Lie #1: Daily KOS didn’t write the article. It looks like it’s part of a blog from someone writing as BoyBlue, which is hosted by Daily KOS or perhaps even published by KOS, but not written by them. The Hillbuzz article attempts to get people to draw the conclusion that Daily KOS wrote the article.
Lie #2: The word dead is used only once in the article, In a sentence nearly identical to the blog headline.
You’re right, I’m sure a story that ran two days ago as follows could never have had an impact
**“My CongressWOMAN voted against Nancy Pelosi! And is now DEAD to me!” **
Yeah, that attempt to blame kos, or equate it to Palin putting gun sights on people, is pretty lame.
Was it not posted on the Daily Kos website?
In the same way that comments are posted on news sites.
