You know, I'd completely accept the argument that comments like this aren't representative of the tea party if the leadership from all the groups immediately condemned that kind of behavior, but guess what--they don't. You can try to spin this stuff any way you want, but at the end of the day, if you don't condemn it, you might as well be supporting it. Turning around and trying to attack someone for raising the issue or concerns is the biggest lack of character I can imagine. Give me a break.
Democrat Lyndon LaRouche weighs in on shooting and leftmedia attacks on Sarah Palin
[CENTER][/CENTER]
LaRouche: To Blame Sarah Palin for the Shooting of Rep. Giffords is a Crime
Lyndon LaRouche said today that the version of the story about the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords in Tucson, Arizona on Saturday presented thus far is not believable. On the one hand, it is clear that the perpetrator who was apprehended is a nutty kid. On the other hand, the targeting of Sarah Palin is a tip off that the story is a fake and that someone is using the kid who carried out the shooting.
There is a widespread effort on the part of the press to attempt to make a hero out of a woman, Rep. Giffords, who had the wrong policy on health care. An attempt is being made to use the case to attack Sarah Palin, who had targeted Giffords and 19 other Congressmen for defeat in the last election because of their vote for Obama's Nazi health bill.
LaRouche said that this is a tip off that something is phony in the story being put forward now by people who support the Obama T-4 policy. Giffords was on the wrong side morally. The kid who shot her and others is clearly a nut, a psychotic. But his action is now being used to attack Sarah Palin, who did nothing wrong in targeting supporters, including Giffords, of the Obama health bill for defeat in the last election.
LaRouche said that anyone who attacks Sarah Palin is implicitly pro-Hitler.
He emphasized that the following distinction needs to be made. First, there has to be a further investigation of what happened. This includes the question as to whether the gunman acted alone or whether the other individual caught on surveillance tapes played some role in the events.
And second, the press build up of the attack on Sarah Palin is a tipoff that something is phony, that the attack is being used to promote something else.
The attack itself is a criminal atrocity. Then you have what the press is doing as an official line. LaRouche said that what the press is doing in attacking Sarah Palin is as bad a crime as the crime itself. It is criminal to try to put blame on people who are anti-genocide. The events in Arizona were not caused by people who attacked a pro-genocide policy. The actions of a nut case are being used to build up a witchhunt against people who correctly oppose the murderous, genocide policy epitomized by the Obama T-4 policy.
In effect there are two crimes. First the crime against the Congresswoman and second the crime against Sarah Palin.
LaRouche said it is a toss up as to which is a worse crime. Somebody is trying to use a crime as an after the fact justification for a pro-genocide line. The attack on Sarah Palin is the fraud. The Congresswoman's support for Obama's health policy was wrong.
Lyndon LaRouche is a nut, and his political positions are pretty much the opposite of mainstream politics on most issues. He might run for office as a democrat (over and over and over--it's a free country and no one can stop him from putting his name in the hat) but he's never once even won a primary. Here's the difference --the R's had nuts win their primaries in the last election, and supported them as candidates in the general. LaRouche couldn't win a primary for rodent control officer in dog patch Arkansas. The dem's have condemned his actions every time he rears his ugly head--they've REFUSED TO SEAT the tiny number of delegates he's won in any election he's been a candidate in. He is NOT part of the democratic party.

or air america's Rhodes doing it again, bringing up the kill-Bush idea in a skit aired in May 05.

CHRIS MATTHEWS: You guys see Live and Let Die, the great Bond film with Yaphet Kotto as the bad guy, Mr. Big? In the end they jam a big CO2 pellet in his face and he blew up. I have to tell you, Rush Limbaugh is looking more and more like Mr. Big, and at some point somebody’s going to jam a CO2 pellet into his head and he’s going to explode like a giant blimp. That day may come. Not yet. But we’ll be there to watch. I think he’s Mr. Big, I think Yaphet Kotto. Are you watching, Rush?
Get off your high horses lefties.
After all, it was the left wing nut jobs of the 60's who started the violent vitriol.

maddow, "someone assasinate Bush now, please"
Those are media personalities, and I'm not a fan of any of them. Was it right? Absolutely not. But here's the huge difference that you're deftly avoiding--name one elected official who's campaigned with violent rhetoric against the tea party or the republicans. The point you're missing (or you get it, and this is more of a game to you than real life) is that when you run or are elected to a higher office, you're supposed to be a statesman. You're supposed to be a leader and a grown up. You DO set the tone of the debate, and an example for the people you represent. This kind of nastiness and just...vulgar, mean, coarse behavior, is why my family wound up leaving the republican party--that and the way they've moved off the end of the earth on kookiness. Now it's turned dangerous because one side will say anything to try to win--appeal to the lowest common denominator for a vote. The worst part? They're taking zero responsibility for their actions. That isn't a leader.
The part that amazes me? I'm not all that surprised that this woman said what she said about Keith Olbermann. There are lots of nuts in the world, and people say dumb things. What floors me is that in light of the tragedy that just happened, and how callous her remarks were in that context, NO ONE from the tea party is stepping up to say this type of behavior is wrong, and they're trying to turn the whole thing around to blame someone else. If my kids do that, they're in a world of trouble. You want to run the country? Then show a little more character than my 12 year olds. This debate is scary and sick.
The left and left-wng media has done nothing but campaign with violent rhetoric against the tea party.
