Has anyone blamed the victim yet?
You know, if politicians like Rep. Gifford are going to continue to shove their liberal agenda down our throats then they have to expect people will resist with whatever means are available.

Has anyone in RW world made that claim yet?

1. It's slowly coming around
I heard a guy on talk radio grumble about revolution coming because of Obama shoving this or that down our throat.

8. Thats what the Tea Party is all about

They didn't like the election results in 2008, so before Obama even did a damn thing they started to 'revolt'...there are countless signs at their rallies warning about this 'armed revolt'. It's on film and can't be disputed. These people intended (we can't assume it was a bluff) to take to the streets with their guns and overthrow Obama's government.

2. Oh, I'm sure they already have.
It just hasn't been posted on the net yet.

After all, cockroaches and vermin never take responsibility for anything.

5. There was some hateful stuff said by RWers on the
internet. Stephanie Miller read some of them this morning including an opinion about the nine year old girl killed stating she would have grown up to be a liberal.

6. They'are coming close! Now Sarah's facebook page
deletes all the "critical" posts, and leaves posts that accuse the shooter of being a "liberal," a "registered democrat," and that he got his gun license in spite of his mental health status because the Sheriff is a democrate and his mother works for the local government. . .so that the shooter could engage in this massacre and "accuse" the Right!

Yes, we're getting close to complete stupidity!

The Teabaggers' troops on the ground have gone so far as to excuse the murder of that 9-year-old child, since according to them she was probably going to grow up to be a liberal anyway. (Death is what we liberals deserve anyway, isn't it? Isn't that what their puppet masters have told them over and over?) If I believed in hell, I'd be busy assuming their place in its ninth circle.

"bring this on herself". if anyone remembers that particular post, could you link it here? I was in such shock, I didn't bookmark it.

Now they're attacking a murdered child.

I listened to WGN out of Chicago very briefly. Some fool of a woman called in and wanted to know what a federal judge was doing at a political rally. The two hosts were pretty stupid. They said they did not know.

I sent them an email about the purpose of Gifford's gathering, and told them that all responsible Congress people reach out to their constituents, solve problems, answer questions, and hold town hall meetings of some type. There was nothing political about this. The judge could go to this if he wanted, because he was a citizen, too. And how did the fool of a caller know what he was doing there? Maybe he went to the store for a loaf of bread and a gallon of milk and decided to linger.

I told the hosts that they had a duty to be better informed if they were going to have a show on a radio station that reached such a wide audience.

15. That will be pretty hard to make stick seeing that the victim was on national TV
prior to the attack speaking out about the threat of violence that she faced. Gabby was mocked by the likes of Chuck Todd and his side kick. The tape that he refuses to re-air.
