Arizona Democrat Gabrielle Giffords was placed on Sarah Palin's "target map"

It is tragic. But, a judge is part of criminal justice /law enforcement. There are inherent risks for not only police officers, but judges as well. Judges have been the victims of violence since the birth of our nation.

What you are ignoring is the violent imagery and rhetoric by Palin and Jesse Kelly directed at Democrats running for political office.

TRY to imagine your mother, wife or daughter running for office and having that violent imagery and rhetoric directed at her. It would at least create anxiety and at worst it creates terror. No one willing to serve their country should be subjected to that ignorant and partisan hatred.

IMO this is indefensible.

"They noted that Giffords' tea party-backed opponent, Jesse Kelly, held a fundraiser at a shooting range in which he invited supporters to "help remove Gabrielle Giffords from office" by shooting an M-16 rifle with him."

i never ignored it, when the poster first came out i was against it

what YOU are ignoring is any violent imagery and rhetoric by the left and acting as if only the right is spouting the hate talk

further, you sick fucks want to use this horrible tragedy to bash palin and the tea party....you guys are flat out blaming them for the deaths and horrible injuries...you are trying to make a connection and its flat out dishonest because you have idea what this guys motives are and you ignore that there is also this rhetoric on the left, you dishonestly want to make out as if only the right is to blame

you are the kind of people who are ratcheting up the rhetoric, you're the people the sheriff was referring to....
 
Absolutely! That's why I was wondering why Yurt was so quick to call him a republican. Judgepedia.org has his bio and it doesn't mention party affiliation.

i meant conservative....and he may well be republican...are you claiming judges can't vote?

are you denying that judges have political leanings...

:palm:
 
There ya go Yurtie, webbway wants Obama killed.

You call him out now, hear?

you would have a point if i had never called webbway out on his disgusting hate talk before, unfortunately for you, i call him out nearly everytime he posts his over the top vitriol crap like he just posted and honestly i often don't click his threads...

you, however, never call out anyone on your side

nice fail christie :)

Probably because my side isn't calling for anybody's death.

Big fail, yurtie..

I said before any of this happened what Palin did with her map using gun sights was irresponsible and dangerous. The politicizing of this violence was done BEFORE the bullets were fired by Palin and Jesse Kelly's sick promotion: “Get on target for victory. Help remove Gabrielle Giffords from office. Shoot a fully a automatic M16 with Jesse Kelley” There is no place for that from someone who ran for Vice President and a political opponent in an election. The violent images and rhetoric have metastasized since the Tea Party came on the scene

This will finally end the Sarah Palin for president fantasies. The woman is sick, dangerous, immature and dumber than dogshit.

Big fail, yurtie..

does drawing bullseyes equate to "calling for death"?......then I guess the left is as guilty as Palin.....

Thanks for mentioning the Daily Kos. And remind me again where I blamed Palin.

It's always Dead Democrats

For the past 100 years, there have been a number of political assassinations in this nation. All of the dead are Democrats.

It's always democrats who end up dying. I'll list them below.

* OllieGarkey's diary :: ::
*

Anton Cermak, 1933, mayor of Chicago, murdered in Miami when shot by the attempted assassin of FDR.

Huey Long, 1935, Governor of Louisiana.

Albert Patterson, 1954, Attorney-General Elect of Alabama.

John F. Kennedy 1963, president of the United States.

Robert F Kennedy 1968, Candidate for President of the United States.

Harvey Milk 1978, first elected openly homosexual man.

George Moscone 1978, mayor of San Fransisco, friend of Harvey Milk.

Leo Ryan, 1978, US Congressman murdered by fanatic cultists in Guyana.

Allard K. Lowenstein, 1980, Former Democratic Congressman.

Tommy Burks, 1998, Tennessee Senator murdered by his republican opponent.

James E. Davis, 2003, democratic councilman murdered in New York City Hall.

Bill Gwatney, 2008, chairmen of the Arkansas Democratic Party, murdered at party headquarters in Little Rock.

John Thornton mayor of Washington Park, Illinois.

And now an attempt on Congresswoman Giffords.

It was a terrorist attack, a political attack, and the part of the continued history of right wing political violence in the United States.

This is the reality of right wing activism.

Edit:

There are countless more dead liberals. Fizziks rightly pointed out: Martin Luther King. And Medgar Evars and the rest of the martyrs of the civil rights movement should be listed as the victims of right wing terror.

From PJBurke:

Alan Berg was not a politician, but rather an outspoken liberal on the radio in the days before media consolidation gave a small cabal the opportunity to banish the liberal viewpoint from the talk radio airwaves altogether.

Alan Berg was gunned down in his own driveway by white nationalists:
Wikipedia
 
..."Giffords defeated "tea party" candidate Jesse Kelly by just 4,000 votes.

In a typically heated congressional campaign in the recent, hyper-partisan midterm elections, Kelly blamed Giffords for supporting President Obama's healthcare overhaul and for her more liberal views on immigration reform, a sore subject in Arizona, a border state whose efforts to halt illegal immigration have drawn condemnation from liberals and the federal government.

On Saturday, Giffords was shot in the head..."

Palin should be indicted for incitement to murder.
The charge would not stick but it might make the stupid woman and her even stupider followers think for a nano second.

What the fuck is "indicated" you fuckwad?

Maybe you should be indited for all the idiocy that Great Britain has and is doing.
 
what a sad state of affairs that assholes like bfgrn are using this terrible tragedy to try and smear people and score political points

The REAL politicizing took place BEFORE the tragedy when Palin and Kelly politicized violence against a Democrat running for office.

Now that the bullets have done their horrible damage, it's too late for Palin to offer her condolences.
