Try this argument for those that insist that violent rhetoric does not lead to violence.

Just say, so in your opinion it would be OK for the right to continue to spout all of the violent rhetoric that they've been doing the first two Obama years all thruout the next two Obama years? How many more shootings need to occur during the next two years before you would start wondering whether there is a link? How many more people need to die for you?

1. Change the next 2 Obama years

with the next 6 Obama years and see how they react.

2. Most agree it does but some think it has not been proven definitively in this case

Facts matter to some

3. have you not bothered to read the study I linked for you?

that indicates political rhetoric incites political violence in unstable individuals?

facts do matter to some but in this case you seem to choose to ignore them and pretend they haven't been pointed out to you.

4. dude - the authorities are calling it an "assassination."

get out from the GOP rock, smell the cofee and face the facts. you are wrong on this one, too, stray cat.

5. It's not ok but it might also not be the cause of the shooting.

The question is are we directly attributing Sarah Palin for this shooting? Or are we generically criticizing her recognizing she may be irrelevant to this case?

6. Nutcases listen to the violent rhetoric, too. The more violent the

rhetoric, the more nutcases will be provoked to action.
