Limbaugh: Tucson assassin has Democrat's "FULL SUPPORT"
Rush Limbaugh continued to push back against Democrats’ criticism of violent rhetoric in connection with the Tucson shootings, suggesting that the suspected shooter, Jared Loughner, was smirking in his latest photo for a reason.

"What Mr. Loughner knows is that he has the full support of a major political party in this country. He's sitting there in jail. He knows what's going on, he knows that...the Democrat party is attempting to find anybody but him to blame. He knows if he plays his cards right, he's just a victim. He's the latest in a never-ending parade of victims brought about by the unfairness of America...That smiling mug shot -- this guy clearly understands he's getting all the attention and he understands he's got a political party doing everything it can, plus a local sheriff doing everything that they can to make sure he's not convicted of murder - but something lesser."

4. LIke Politico does who gave him a mouthpiece.?
Politico is financed by Robert Allbritton, chairman and chief executive of Allbritton Communications, which owns television stations in Washington, D.C., and elsewhere, all affiliated with the Disney-owned ABC network.

Politico is a partner with several news outlets that co-report and distribute its video, print, and audio content. Partners include CBS News,<6> Allbritton Communications's ABC station WJLA and cable channel TBD TV, radio station WTOP-FM,<8> and Yahoo! News election coverage



How Politico, and its star reporter, are hurting America
A major profile paints an unsettling portrait of Mike Allen, hotshot Politico reporter, as a sycophant to the elite

6. Actually, Media Matters, a progressive media watchdog group, also "gave him a mouthpiece"

I support these incidents being publicized.

9. I do too ignoring someone that has so much power is foolish
Contact his advertisers suggesting boycott of their goods and get him off Armed Forces Radio/TV
by contacting your representatives.

2. Hey, Rushbo--we're the ones ACTUALLY condemning the attacks
Edited on Wed Jan-12-11 04:05 AM by NuclearDem
Sarah Palin hasn't condemned it.

You haven't condemned it.

Glenn Beck "condemned it"...but have you seen his website?

Roger Ailes didn't condemn it.

Most Repugs in Congress have giving a passing condemnation before politicizing it.

And you'd think six people dead, including a little girl, and the attempted assassination of a colleague would cause AT LEAST some misty eyes in our new Speaker of the House, who cries whenever his goddamn orange juice comes in the wrong sippy cup. But no! Not even a tear.

Shut the fuck up, you lard ass. There's a special place in hell for people like you.
