      This topic should be banned from this forum. The original poster did exactly what he wanted to do....polarize the individuals here, and break it down tho the same tired argument that we are all too familiar with "I hate Obama and all Democrats"...." I hate Bush and all Republicans". This is supposed to be a place to go to escape all that crap. We know it's there, but who in Hell wants to discuss it here? Let it continue, and it will ruin this excellent Browns forum. Don't get sucked in.

        Reading all of the defensive arguments in favor of Jared Lee Loughner would make you think that Shep and Heck' are close friends with him; they probably have him on their friends list on facebook.

            On one hand, I don't want anybody to point fingers at anybody. On the other, I hope it wakes us all up to how dangerous our discourse has become. We're like warring gangs, saying ridiculous and immature things like "pinko commi party!!"

              Nobody would DREAM of suggesting that it's "equal," I hope. There is no left wing equivalent to the Tea Party. Whatever the original motives were (Republicans aren't conservative enough?), it's old, angry white people who want things the way they were in the 1950s. Palin blatantly taps into the anger and xenophobia of most older, mostly Middle American white people... which is patently pathetic given their place in the food chain.

                Shep, your attack on Sarah Palin is old. The murderer was a mentally ill leftist druggie.

                It has nothing to do with Palin. Read up on the bullet points that the Daily Kos used on one of their

                political maps. Well, they've pulled it now, I think.

                Mentally ill, violent people don't need a freakin somebody to make them act out.

                Where was all this asinine blame when Reagan was shot?

                It has nothing to do with Tea Parties. I've been to them. You and Heck have NOT.

                At least you libs didn't blame it on Sarah Palin's little son Trig, or her daughter Bristol.

                Not sure why I'd blame Trig or Bristol, neither of whom I have anything against. But their mother is a dangerous person playing a dangerous game poking dangerous people into dangerous action.

                That said, I have zero idea what's in the head of a guy who does something like that, and I don't want to blame Palin in any direct way. But it has brought to light how Palin fueled the racist, xenophobic rage of older white conservatives who feel like they aren't land barons anymore (or trailer barons, mostly), to the point they were throwing things through windows at the offices of lawmakers who supported healthcare reform.

                But no... I don't support directly blaming her. But she needs to go home and stay there.

                  Shep there is no denying that your friend is a left wing nut job. He had to of been provoked by conservative ideals and those in the tea party who dont not want your leader obama to turn this country into a socialist state.

                  Your role reversal doesn't carry weight. Only drug induced lefty nut jobs do this kind of crap.

                    By the way, I'll go back to not talking politics. I don't hate Republicans at all -- both of my brother in laws (one just died last year) are GOPers and I love them both like crazy. Several of my best friends here in 50/50 Ventura County are conservative leaning, although more Indie.

                    I don't even hate Palin. I just think she's dangerous. I'll bow out.

                        Shep - what you did, was to take the political opportunity to lambast Palin, on the back of

                        a hideous murder and crime. She should stay home and keep quiet because she's dangerous.... ????????????

                        Because she isn't like you, and speaks her mind, and knows what she's talking about, moreso now by far since

                        she was thrust into the national liimelight?

                        The truth is, that this dishonest sheriff was a Democrat. And the mother of the insane murderer

                        worked for the county he was in. And he influenced people who complained about her son to

                        back off and leave him alone. Because his mother worked for the county. What I don't know,

                        is if the mayor was a Dem - I suppose so.

                        Dems flock together like a bunch of dangerous, aggressive buzzards.

                        The sheriff is to blame here. He played politics with the issue of this really insane murderer and his mom.

                        and really, with most all the folks in his county. The left has pushed the "discourse" way, way, way over the edge

                        of sincerity and decency. And now, like the old Soviet Union, you libs fabricate lies against Palin and Republicans and the tea

                        partiers,, totally 100 percent unsubstantiated, out of spite and hate over losing the last midterm election.

                        Hey, really, Shep. Do you blame Sarah Palin and the tea partiers for the Manson murders? Think about it before

                        you go off the deep end, and emote stuff you really don't mean.

                          Sarah Palin is not to blame for this. Putting the crosshairs on people's districts is a dumb idea, but it had nothing to do with this. She has nothing to do with this. Neither do metaphors.

                          But if anyone can name me a mainstream Democratic or liberal politician or staffer who suggested that we use violence against our political enemies as a means to achieve political objectives or in the event an election doesn't go our way, I'm all ears.

                          (Jeopardy theme music....)

                          And if you think that list of Obama lines is a counterpoint to what something like what Sharron Angle said, you've got to be kidding. It just proves that you've got nothing, and you're really, really stretching.

                                  But that's just some clown on Yahoo. Might as well be on this board.

                                  You can find plenty of examples of Republican politicians actually suggesting political violence, and within the last year. I'd like to see you defend those.

                                    Post some.

                                    More "serious" than Obama reaching out to the lunatic by paraphrasing a racist line from a movie.

                                    And try to keep a straight face as you accuse whoever it is of sedition or assisting in murder.

                                    I'm sure Media Matters and Bernie Goldberg have lists.

                                      I did.

                                      And Obama reaching out to the lunatic? What are you talking about? And why do I suspect that this is you mischaracterizing something he said, then twisting it, then saying it proves something?

                                        Here's a good post from Kevin Drum:

                                        From George Packer, who notes (correctly) that he called out the left for its ugly rhetoric in the runup to the Iraq War, on where today's ugly rhetoric mostly comes from:

                                        "In fact, there is no balance—none whatsoever. Only one side has made the rhetoric of armed revolt against an oppressive tyranny the guiding spirit of its grassroots movement and its midterm campaign. Only one side routinely invokes the Second Amendment as a form of swagger and intimidation, not-so-coyly conflating rights with threats. Only one side’s activists bring guns to democratic political gatherings. Only one side has a popular national TV host who uses his platform to indoctrinate viewers in the conviction that the President is an alien, totalitarian menace to the country. Only one side fills the AM waves with rage and incendiary falsehoods. Only one side has an iconic leader, with a devoted grassroots following, who can’t stop using violent imagery and dividing her countrymen into us and them, real and fake. Any sentient American knows which side that is; to argue otherwise is disingenuous."

                                        This is too obviously true to need much defense. I don't really blame conservatives for being upset at liberals trying pin the blame for the Giffords shooting on them, but the furious defensiveness of their counterattack says all that needs to be said about how uncomfortable they are with their own recent history. The big difference between right and left, as I and others have noted repeatedly, isn't just in the amount of violent rhetoric, but its source. On the liberal side, it only occasionally comes from movement leaders. On the right, it regularly does. It comes from opinion leaders, political leaders, and media leaders, and the more heated they get, the more popular they get. As David Corn says, "Republicans have institutionalized their side's craziness." This is the big difference between the two sides, and the right could really stand to engage in a wee bit of soul searching over this.

                                          Shep - what you did, was to take the political opportunity to lambast Palin, on the back of

                                          a hideous murder and crime. She should stay home and keep quiet because she's dangerous.... ????????????

                                          Because she isn't like you, and speaks her mind, and knows what she's talking about, moreso now by far since

                                          she was thrust into the national liimelight?

                                          The truth is, that this dishonest sheriff was a Democrat. And the mother of the insane murderer

                                          worked for the county he was in. And he influenced people who complained about her son to

                                          back off and leave him alone. Because his mother worked for the county. What I don't know,

                                          is if the mayor was a Dem - I suppose so.

                                          Dems flock together like a bunch of dangerous, aggressive buzzards.

                                          The sheriff is to blame here. He played politics with the issue of this really insane murderer and his mom.

                                          and really, with most all the folks in his county. The left has pushed the "discourse" way, way, way over the edge

                                          of sincerity and decency. And now, like the old Soviet Union, you libs fabricate lies against Palin and Republicans and the tea

                                          partiers,, totally 100 percent unsubstantiated, out of spite and hate over losing the last midterm election.

                                          Hey, really, Shep. Do you blame Sarah Palin and the tea partiers for the Manson murders? Think about it before

                                          you go off the deep end, and emote stuff you really don't mean.

                                          Oh, I mean it... and I'm right: Sarah Palin is inciting people who are already batshit crazy in the name of xenophobia and racism disguised as "old time values." The right wing of the right wing has been doing that for decades (as taught by Lee Atwater), doing what's right by the rich and big business by hoodwinking "the common man" into voting against gays, minorities, and any other paper tiger issue they can dream up.

                                          But now it's getting into dangerous, incendiary rhetoric. Palin just needed a core and she found it in the Tea Party that most of the GOP hates. It's WAY too right wing to ever touch the invaluable "middle," where most of America actually dwells. The fringes just yell louder.
