In response to the sleazy attacks by liberals attempting to shamelessly capitalize on the recent tragedy in AZ by blaming outspoken conservatives for the actions of an apparent paranoid schizophrenic, I have the following question.

If Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity are somehow responsible for the actions of Jared Loughner, how are the Beatles not responsible for the actions of the Manson Family?

From the evidence that I've seen so far, I would have to blame Jared Loughner.

The Beatles lived in a yellow submarine, so their alibi is air-tight!

Face it people, when elected leaders of influence spout off nonsense given the fact there are unstable people in the world, especially in the good old U.S. of A., you'd just increased your odds, many-times-fold, of having a manifestation of warped sorts becoming a reality, especially when you do not have enough jobs ("idle hands are the devil's tool") and a weak infrastructure to deal with mentally ill people.

You'd think any politician, radio/t.v. personality of any stripe would know better not to spout off tripe! Maybe those that live in "a cocoon of comfort from reality" are defunct and detached to the norms of everyday society. I dunno.....

What part of targeting a sitting Member of Congress for defeat advocates shooting and killing?

I posed the question hoping the same creeps who have stooped so low as to exploit the tragic incident in AZ for political gain would be able to explain why.
