I agree with most of what you said, the part I disagreed with is your suggestion that I belive Conservatives are killing people or ever did. I belive that some Conservatives have been very illresponsable with there rhetoric in the past few years, and that TEA PARTY members have been more so than the rank and file and that the tone MAY lead people who are already off ballance to find it more acceptable to turn to violence.
When distrust and hate of government is broadcasted by "respected" people on a daily basis it has an effect, and I belvie we are seeing that effect when for example the windows of this Congresswomans office are shot out the night she voted for the Healthcare bill or when she is shot in the head just a few months later.

Probably. Do you believe that this lunatic, while reading the manifesto saw this guy's picture and thought, "Man, I gotta kill a lefty who supports gun rights and wants to balance the budget today!"?
I would ask you, do you condem promoting violence against people for promoting socialism?
Yet it was perfectly acceptable for lefties to suggest that people should kill Bush? Put it in a movie? Far more direct "rhetoric" seems to have escaped your irresponsibility meter in an attempt to use this tragedy to promote your own agenda. I find that gross. A bit of introspection may be in order.
I generally condemn all violence except in the necessary defense of your life or that of your family.
Did I say that?
As I have repeatedly said, we don't know - yet - what motivated this assassination attempt, so your strident efforts to prove it wasn't a reaction to conservative rhetoric are puzzling.
The post, you may note, has to do with "Dixie's" threatening statements posted on this board, not SarahPac's political jargon.

Was it me?
and this is true too..
Where did I suggest you "said that"? If I go by that standard, where did I say that guy is or isn't a "conservative" before you put it on the board. If somebody has to "say that" before anybody can talk about it, the board would be empty.
I'm simply asking you, do you really believe that Sarah's effort to get out the vote is what caused this kid to attempt to kill this Congressperson? Or that old man with a sign was the reason? You seem to want to believe that it is, I find that to be entirely destitute of any form of reason.

Does this not sound just like the nutbag Loughner?
So you voted to condem Dixie's statements?
I'm not voting. I think your general premise is flawed.
I believe it's a possibility, because if the suspect is insane he is devoid of reason.
I also noticed that SarahPac took down the graphic that people have questioned. What do you make of that?
No, I dont find it acceptable I condem it, and have condemed it. I find it gross. Now, having a movie where the president is killed is not necessarly saying people should kill the president, it could just be art that answers the question, "What if". It could also be a discusting film that encourages killing the presiden. I did not see the one you mention so I dont know if it encouraged or just was a "what if".

They took it down long ago because of people's emotive nonsensical response to it. I think even Sarah can sometimes cave to political correctness and other hypocritical nonsense. The same people who literally carried signs promoting the direct death of a President are now blaming "rhetoric" that they clearly take way out of context. It's almost funny, if it was so brutally hypocritical.
It could have been wrong, but I read that they just took it down yesterday.
..."An aide to Sarah Palin is defending the former Alaska governor's controversial campaign target map, saying the circles over certain districts were never meant to be gun sights. However, Palin herself described the symbol as a "bullseye."
Palin's "Take Back the 20" campaign came under renewed fire after Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) was severely injured by a gunman on Saturday. The campaign featured a map with crosshairs over Giffords' district, along with the districts of 19 other Democratic lawmakers who voted for the health-care bill.
After posting the map on her Facebook page, Palin told her Twitter followers to go there with the message "Don't Retreat -- Instead RELOAD!" At the time, Palin was accused of using unnecessarily violent rhetoric. (After Saturday's shooting, the map was taken down.)..."

So "they took it down long ago"? The report says it was taken down yesterday. Yesterday is long ago?
..."We never ever, ever intended it to be gun sights," said Rebecca Mansour, who works for Palin's political action committee, in a radio interview with conservative talk show host Tammy Bruce.
"It's a surveyor's symbol," Bruce suggested. Mansour agreed, adding that the graphic was contracted out to a professional and approved without much thought. "We never imagined, it never occurred to us that anybody would consider it violent," she said. It was simply "crosshairs that you would see on a map"...
