"if there was a muslim in detroit who put up a map with crosshairs over congressmen."
Did you mean suppose instead of "if". "If that Muslim in Detroit then went on television and held public rallies advocating his supporters to Get locked and Loaded, to get on target to remove these congressmen, and when they fire they should Reload and Come Again.... and one of those congressmen got shot...(and the gunman tried to reload and come again actually) would that Muslim still be walking the streets a free man right now?" In our PC country, he probably would be free and the media would be chomping at the bits to defend him. "Would there be any question as to a portion of blame, or whether an investigation had to be launched?" If the person were shot by a Muslim, maybe so. But Muslims should not be blamed before the investigation. If it turned out to be a Buddhist, it would be a big shit storm. Oh, and what about the bullseye the Daily Kos put on her. That count for anything or is it "different"? I would think that the shooter was a reader of that site more than redstate. "Please." I concur. Please. "BTW whether US wants to face it or not, the question of the Tea Party and the GOP inciting this violence is the most asked question worldwide, including on Facebook." Not this shit again. Over and over again, this has been debunked. The only people questioning it left wing pundits, the media, and their drones. The rhetoric of violence doesn't exist. Tainting the tea party movement with the charge of racism is proving to be an effective strategy for Democrats. There is no evidence that tea party adherents are any more racist than other Republicans, and indeed many other Americans. But getting them to spend their time purging their ranks and having candidates distance themselves should help Democrats win in November. Having ones opponent rebut charges of racism is far better than discussing joblessness. - Mary Frances Berry Look up Mary Frances Berry. You'll see that she is not a right winger. BTW, facebook? Really? "You will recall that analysts from both sides decried that rhetoric and warned that more radical members of these parties could take this seriously because of the authority figures that were making those statements. I even saw a segment on BBC World talking about the slant that US politics were taking after this rally where guys showed up armed to the teeth." Nope. Don't recall that at all. I remember a lot of incidents of SIEU thugs attacking and trying to intimidate tea party attendees and town hall attendees. BBC? Really? The organization where the chief admitted they are too liberal and need to change. I can see why you would use them. "I cannot believe that regardless of what the motivations were, after something like this has happened one cannot look at that rhetoric, hear it and read it, and say that it is still ok." Oh, the Tea Party did have something to do with. She was a blue dog who became even more conservative due to the movement. She wanted to be re-elected. The shooter could not accept voting as his only recourse. Just cause you wanted it to be a tea party supporter doing the shooting, doesn't make is so. J - Most people prefer to believe that their leaders are just and fair, even in the face of evidence to the contrary, because once a citizen acknowledges that the government under which he lives is lying and corrupt, the citizen has to choose what he or she will do about it. To take action in the face of corrupt government entails risks of harm to life and loved ones. To choose to do nothing is to surrender one's self-image of standing for principles. Most people do not have the courage to face that choice. Hence, most propaganda is not designed to fool the critical thinker but only to give moral cowards an excuse not to think at all - Michael Rivero ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:333034 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
