Rush, Beck, Coulter, and Palin all culpable for inciting assasination

"TUCSON, Ariz. – Rep. Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona was shot in the head Saturday when an assailant opened fire outside a grocery store during a meeting with constituents, killing a 9-year-old boy and a federal judge and wounding several others in a rampage that rattled the nation.

Giffords was among at least 10 people wounded, and the hospital said her outlook was "optimistic" and that she was responding to commands from doctors. The hospital said a 9-year-old child was among the killed, and a U.S. Marshal said a federal judge was also fatally shot in the attack."

Judge and 9 year old boy murdered. This woman was guilty of being a Democrat in a corporatist state, but she still deserves the protection of the rule of law in a civil society.

***** Where the hell is the Department of Justice? Can our government be more lax in upholding its duties? ***** Congress will now investigate the underwear drawer of Obama though.

2. They'll distance themselves
They'll distance themselves from the shooter, knowing full well they're the ones who incited this guy. I'm not saying the shooter is innocent, but he had plenty of thoughts put in his head. They'll be doing anything to keep this guy's mouth shut.

3. Yep, the get-away driver does time just like the bank robbers
They can try to distance themselves but that should not make any difference in the eyes of the law. Unless we're in a lawless land -which it seems we are.

Nobody should be above the law, not even wealthy conservatives.

6. glad to see this mentioned
"For example, we're on Sarah Palin's targeted list, but the thing is, that the way that she has it depicted has the crosshairs of a gun sight over our district. When people do that, they have to realize that there are consequences to that action," Giffords said in an interview with MSNBC.

14. Palin offers condolences after the murders she incited:
"Giffords herself has drawn the ire of the right, especially for her support of the health care bill from politicians like Sarah Palin.

Her Tucson office was vandalized a few hours after the House vote to approve the health care law in March, with someone either kicking or shooting out a glass door and window. In an interview after the vandalism, Giffords referred to the animosity against her by conservatives. Palin listed Giffords' seat as one of the top "targets" in the midterm elections because of the lawmakers' support for the health care law.

"For example, we're on Sarah Palin's targeted list, but the thing is, that the way that she has it depicted has the crosshairs of a gun sight over our district. When people do that, they have to realize that there are consequences to that action," Giffords said in an interview with MSNBC.

In the hours after the shooting, Palin issued a statement in which she expressed her "sincere condolences" to the family of Giffords and the other victims."

9. PROOF would imply an investigation, right?
You want PROOF before looking into an obvious dynamic? You really think REPUBLICANS would need PROOF to sick a Ken Starr on some fucking BULLSHIT??????????????????

11. I'm hearing she was tough on immigration
Why would tea partiers have angst towards someone with that position.

Secondly, who was the shooter? Please post if anyone knows.

12. they've been inciting every day for years, intentionally devolving society so it is blind to the
economic rape that is happening to them and why it is happening to them

we've become (some of us) a nation of mindless self-defeating reactive zombies that follow the dog whistles of this reactionary crew

15. They have no place on the airwaves.
They degrade the public discourse; they provoke violence. Beck especially.

16. They incite violence -is right. Coulter, Hannity, and Savage too
They are promoted and given undeserved spots, with good signal. They get far too many hours and have far too many advertisers - for the ratings they have. Even with all the promotion, they don't have the ratings they should get.

17. if he was a Beck, Hannity, Limabugh or Paul zombie I'd agree with you.
That doesn't appear to be the truth.

Are you saying the killer was a liberal? Or was he more like the haters commenting on this murderous act like he's doing good work?
