Media: Blood thirsty jews

This is one of the cruelest ironies of recent times.

The Arizona shooter was obsessed about the meaning of words. He made Youtube videos about them and even asked a question to about one to Rep. Giffords just before he shot her in the head.

Immediately, people in the media started questioning whether violent words had anything to do with it. And they focused on politicians like Sarah Palin and others who have used violent rhetoric in the past to question whether they share any of the blame.

After only a few days of media coverage, polls showed that most people thought Palin did not deserve any of the blame for this. And not a shred of evidence proves that the shooter was actually influenced by her (even if rhetoric by people like her may make things generally more likely to happen).

So what does Sarah Palin do?

She unnecessarily issues a videotape of her defending herself and uses another term that has stirred up much controversy -- blood libel (a term used by Christians to accuse Jews of kidnapping and murdering children for their blood so they could drink it.

To Sarah Palin, being criticized for her words is like Christians accusing Jews of kidnapping and murdering children for their blood so they could drink it.

I guess to her the media are a bunch of "blood thirsty Jews"???

Palin backs away from her bullseye targets, denies they were meant to incite violence

The assassination attempt against a US Representative after she was targeted by Sarah Palin's PAC will likely lead to no change at all on the political front. And that is unfortunate.

Now, Palin's reps claim the target on Rep. Gabrielle Giffords was really a "surveyor's symbol."

This, in spite of tweeting "don't retreat, instead - RELOAD!"

Words have meaning. When you target someone and that someone is shot, there should be consequences.

Violent rhetoric leads to shooting of member of Congress

Sarah Palin ran an ad through her PAC targeting 20 people. Three of them retired. 16 were defeated. And the one who won?

She was just shot in the head by a lunatic with an automatic weapon.

This is not a coincidence. When people in positions of power use dangerous rhetoric to incite violence, there are people out there willing to carry it out for them.

As for Tea Party favorite Sharon Angle, who herself was narrowly defeated by Senator Harry Reid, her call was this:

"You know, our Founding Fathers, they put that Second Amendment in there for a good reason and that was for the people to protect themselves against a tyrannical government. And in fact Thomas Jefferson said it's good for a country to have a revolution every 20 years. I hope that's not where we're going, but, you know, if this Congress keeps going the way it is, people are really looking toward those Second Amendment remedies and saying my goodness what can we do to turn this country around? I'll tell you the first thing we need to do is take Harry Reid out."

Hey, idiots: PEOPLE ARE LISTENING to this stupidity!
