(Sharron) Angle: Media 'inappropriately attributing blame' for Tucson shooting

[sabra]

Source: The Hill

Former Nevada Senate candidate Sharron Angle denied her campaign rhetoric helped motivate the Tucson gunman and accused the media of "finger-pointing towards political figures" to boost ratings.

Angle's suggestion during the midterm campaign that voters could pursue "Second Amendment remedies" to settle political differences with Congress has been widely criticized in the wake of the attack that left six people dead and Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) in critical condition.

"I have consistently called for reasonable political dialogue on policy issues to encourage civil political education and debate," Angle said in her first statement addressing the fallout from Saturday's attack. "Inappropriately attributing blame of a singular tragedy to achieve a political agenda is contrary to civil discourse, and is a media ploy to which I refuse to belong."

At the time, Angle said she was "speaking broadly" and not advocating violence.

SHUT THE FUCK UP. And go slink back under your rock, you cockroach.

4. Another Guilty Hate Preacher

sociopath... blame everybody else.

28. And how do you belong to a ploy?

Good grief.

5. Back, back into the dustbin of history. nt

6. Walking it back and denying her own words.

Fuck off bitch!

[Renew Deal]

7. That's pretty dishonest

But not surprising.

8. "People are really looking toward those Second Amendment remedies" - Sharon Angle

Full quote:

"People are really looking toward those Second Amendment remedies and saying, 'My goodness what can we do to turn this country around? And I'll tell you the first thing we need to do is take Harry Reid out." - Sharon Angle

Her words speak for themselves.

[zbdent]

12. and I can predict the spin ...

"Anybody with a lick of sense can understand that (Sharon Angle) was implying that we vote him out of office, not take a gun to him ..."

Well, if that's what you meant, then why didn't you STATE IT THAT WAY, YOU IDIOT????

[av8rdave]

9. I hate to use inappropriate language on a board

Go fuck yourself, you hateful, intolerant bitch!

That, by the way, was not inappropriate.

[kestrel91316]

17. Totally appropriate and deserved, IMHO. But then I have a rather sharp tongue, lol.

[av8rdave]

18. Me too....but rarely will I put it out on a public forum.

In this case, however, it seems entirely appropriate!

:hi:

[Bluenorthwest]

10. We know what you meant and so did the voters of Nevada

Who rejected your bile.

[CLANG]

11. What is "broad" about using second amendment remedies?

What does she think that means? Does it just mean buying a gun? How is that supposed to settle political differences? Shes' a LYING PIECE OF HUMAN EXCREMENT!

[goforit]

13. Sharon, then tell your tea party friends to stop sending violent emails.

[bulloney]

14. WTF?

"I have consistently called for reasonable political dialogue on policy issues to encourage civil political education and debate," Angle said in her first statement addressing the fallout from Saturday's attack.

Like, your call for Second Amendment solutions?

The stupid persists, even after the elections. And it still burns.

[kestrel91316]

15. Angle, if anybody is worse than Palin, you are - with your talk of

"second amendment solutions". You are just as guilty as she is of inciting assassination.

Fucking christofascists. In case people haven't noticed, they are using A Handmaid's Tale as their guidebook.

[bullwinkle428]

16. Who lifted the rock to let all of the snakes slither out today?

[Raschel]

19. THEY are the ones politicizing - commenting on the day the Pres will be speaking.

Horrible unrepentant, self-serving people.

[Jester Messiah]

20. Why is anybody still reporting on what this loser has to say?

Go home, loser.

[mzmolly]

21. So when she says second amendment remedies she's suggesting

what?

[BonnieJW]

22. You know, I don't think any of these cretins

directly caused the shooting in Tucson; however, they did contribute to establishing a climate where shooting someone is ok.

[fasttense]

23. They may not have pulled the trigger but they did aim the weapon.

They identified and encouraged Loughner to shoot up a Democratic event. Any event would have been ok by them.

We live in a society. That society influences our choices and decisions.

Even the crazies among us are manipulated and warped by the corporate media for fun and profit. If the ads did not make people go out and buy a product then the ads would NOT run. Ads and media influence people's behavior. Just like Angle, Sarah, Glenn, Limpballs and Fox have influenced us and as well as those with less stable personalities.

The constant drumbeat of hate, violence and dehumanization of liberals has had its affect. What conservative organization or group has been targeted by crazy gunmen? It has all been liberals who have been attacked. The media manipulation has affected us and the murderers among us.

[Plucketeer]

24. LOL!

SO........ there's a different "angle" to 2nd amendment solutions than what we thought! How handy.

you get that questionaire
I sent out to small businesses?"

[dogfacedboy]

25. Now THIS piece of garbage is making about HER, just like the Wasilla Pig did.

These assholes are out of their minds. They used the words and they used the imagery. Didn't they know that a good sized chunk of their followers are mentally defective?

[defendandprotect]

27. They know it .... but they also know they need violence to sustain their rise ....!!

[defendandprotect]

26. Think every reference to Angle should include her "second amendment remedies" ....

[progressivebydesign]

29. I have a First Amendment solution for Angle.

SHut the hell up!

[lunatica]

30. The voters spoke. Go away.
