It is extremely logical. If all that is true, he was obsessed for a long time and only needed to believe that his impulses were "OK" on some level which Palin's rhetoric provided.

Palin's culpable for this result.
Right. All a sociopathic murderer needs is a "little push and permission".

If you will read my previous posts, you'll see that I have "admitted that Palin was wrong to have released that illustration". My issue is one with those who feel that she should be arrested and charged as an accessory to the shooting.


I've been one of the biggest Palin detractors on this forum so knock it off with the "you people" bs.
Meh. You want to refer to it, link to it. I'm not going to guess what you are referring to out of billions of articles on the internet.

I shall indeed continue to refer to "you people" who want to excuse Palin for what she's done with her violent rhetoric, though I appreciate that you've been a detractor in the past.

So do you believe that Palin should be arrested and charged as an accessory to murder?

We don't even know at this point whether he paid any attention to the former gov. or not. Again, there is no mention of her made in his political rantings.

Oh man. Now YOU do the googling. It's very true. Sociopaths operate that way.

It's not so hard to find. Type in the right keywords and it will be at the top of the page.

I am not excusing Palin's rhetoric. Sorry that legal and Consititutional nuances are beyond your grasp.

One more time, my responses are towards those who believe that she should be arrested and charged as an accessory to murder.

I wouldn't want to see the 4th amendment destroyed in such a way....or in any way.

I believe, as I have stated, that had ANY OTHER citizen released that graphic, they would be charged with a crime and treated as a terrorist. I believe Palin should be treated the same as you or I, should we create a graphic showing crosshairs on politicians and advising people to "reload".

I've managed to restrain myself from creating such a graphic. Why couldn't Palin? Why is she excused from exercising such self-restraint? You or I wouldn't ever be allowed to board a plane, had we created that map. We'd be on the FBI watch lists for sure if not already being questioned.

I want Palin and everyone else responsible for that map treated like any other citizen making death threats to politicians.

.
Is it totally necessary to be rude and snide? Really? Are you proud of yourself for that amazing zinger?

Is this how you would conduct a face to face conversation?

If you read some of the info on him, I doubt he needed permission for his impulses...where is proof Palin's rhetoric gave him that OK? I just cannot stand people that have to jump on the bandwagon for whatever reason and they have no clue why they are jumping...So why did he shoot the rest of the people? and I also cannot believe I am defending that....thing...Meaning Palin...

Oh, I see now. He'd be just another law abiding young man if it weren't for SP. Got it.
