Gloating over something like this because you think it scores political points for your side is crass. Gloating over something like this because you think it scores political points for your side at the same time you excoriate the other side for doing the same thing is hypocrisy.

Gloating over something like this because you think it scores political points for your side over things that range from unconfirmed to misleading to outright false just makes me shake my head sadly.

Speaking of "actual evidence", what evidence do you have that anyone has a "Palin-Map-Targeted-Giffords-Led-To-Shooting" theory? Please be specific.

Sarah Palin better take down that map NOW...and apologize to the Congresswoman's family and the families of the rest of the victims.

And if she doesn't....Palin, you are through.

Gloating is your word...not mine...nor my intent.

Sorry, Lefty's but you don't get free reign to seize on a tragic event to try and score your own political points and denigrate and demean people on the Right with baseless accusations.
 
The C-Span coverage of this from KGUN had some hippy screaming about Palin being guilty followed by the "community shaman"... maybe they should just stick to the bomb threat instead of the vigil.

Has anyone considered that perhaps politics has more than two sides, that there are several different political affiliations or spectrums, and that an individual could possibly could hold a nuanced position(s)?

Spectrum? Nuance? That sounds suspiciously reasonable.

You are in the wrong thread, buddy.
 
I've never seen any of those images before, because I am apolitical and don't follow politics, closely or otherwise. The only time I come in contact with politics is through happenstance. I certainly don't go about looking for it, which explains why I've not seen any of those images until I saw them here.

The reason I am here is because I happened to overhear the news program my husband was watching, and heard of the shooting. I'd have looked for a thread about it regardless of who the victim was, a school shooting, a bar brawl, any reason. I was curious, and wanted to see what was being said.

When I saw the image of Palin's PAC image, I was appalled at the cross hairs and the names attached. That I now find out others have made similar images is just as appalling to me as Palin's image. I am equally upset at all of them.

I am also tired of being lumped into some imaginary group that blames Palin for the shooting.

I blame her AND the others for over-blown, over-the-top rhetoric. Kids are taught that, even with toy guns, you don't point guns at people. Some of them don't care or don't listen, but that's the usual message parents try to impart. Don't target people, don't point weapons, real or facsimiles, at people.

Did Palin's target image incite this kid? (He's 22.) I don't know, and I rather doubt it. Is the message better or more acceptable because it probably didn't influence him? No. It is most certainly not.

Not budging, no matter how much more over-blown and fallacious rhetoric is hurled at me.

Since you're trying to shut down any discussion I want to have here, it's clear that you cannot handle it. So you should remain silent or leave.

Who's being the hypocrite now, Mr. "Hypocrisy Detector"? :rolleyes:

You haven't demonstrated that you want to do anything in this thread except shriek about everyone keeping quiet until they have facts, particularly TraneWreck, who you also insulted on a professional level.

To answer your question, the hypocrite is still you. What facts did you have about TraneWreck? You really seem unbalanced right now.

"FACTS, Counselor! FAAAAAAAAACTS, COUNSELOR! Gahhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!" You sound like a broken record. Specifically, a Yoko Ono record.

And that bothered you, why?

If the Congresswoman was shot accidentally in a hunting accident, it would still illustrate the inappropriateness of putting up a map with crosshairs targeted at politicians that included the Congresswoman's name, a map Palin refused to admit was wrong and take down.

I've not checked but it was said in this thread that Palin's staff took the map down within 30 minutes of the shooting. Think that might be an admission the map was a bad idea?
