The point is: This is what "Second Amendment Remedies" and "watering the Tree of Liberty" look like. |
|
Or "voting from the rooftops" and all other such odious incitements to violence.
It would be virtually impossible to prove causation, that right wing incendiary rhetoric directly caused this shooter's actions. The true believers would deny it even if the shooter had notebooks filled with text saying he was doing Sarah Palin's bidding in "taking back" the congressional seat with his own crosshairs.
The point is, that all the stuff these people have been talking about, here is what it actually is, this is what it looks like. A 9 year old girl, old men and women, shot up dead and bleeding on the pavement.
This is what is being advocated.

2. NO Tyrants Died that Day, just Innocents |
|
The tyrants were nowhere near the site.
So your premise is faulty, and the conclusions even moreso.

3. No, because to these "tree of liberty" types, Gifford and all Dems are the tyrants. |
|
More so because she voted for the health care bill.

5. at best, they want to use violent, provocative imagery without actually provoking anyone to violence |
|
like the typical selfish brats they are, they want all the rights and none of the responsibilities.
at worst, they are secretly lusting for exactly the results we have seen. they gain by assassination with a patina of plausible deniability.

6. Empowerment through firearms. |
|
To water the tree of liberty or settle a personal grievance or just blindly lash out.
Freedom Is Messy and Worth Ten Thousand Tragedies.
Or some such horseshit.

17. You are empowered to shoot people with them. Solely upon your whim to do so. |

12. Hey backseat mod, you've now posted this point multiple places in the thread. |
|
Go ahead and alert and make your case if you feel it's in the wrong place, but you should probably cease your derailment, although the thread bumps are appreciated!

Their incitement to violence sparked the fire - and they know it works. They know what time it is now and are deflecting as fast as they can - trying to look reasonable the whole time.

18. No, it's what paranoid schizo looks like |
|
Although I do believe Palin and others should be prosecuted for inciting terror
Then again, DHS and people like Republican Rep. Peter King incite terror all the time
