I disagree, she is a public figure, responsible for the blabber that comes out of her mouth.

That's a "set up"??

NO.

She should have been "hammered" by her own party each time she made another of these neocon anti-American rabble rousing violence inducing statements....where WERE they????
Name ONE violence inducing statement that she's made. And here's a towel to wipe the foam from your mouth.....

For a member of Congress to urge armed resistance against lawful actions of the US government crosses the line. Her speech is sedition, and (according to section 2383 of title 18 of the US Code), she is not only subject to being locked up for ten years, but she is “incapable of holding any office under the United States.â€
Where do you get "armed resistance" out of this? Fighting back can take many forms, from contacting your representative to voting the bums out. And the actions of the US government regarding the census pertain to only counting heads, not the questionnaire that she was referring to. The US government is crossing the line in asking all those questions on the census.

You're the one sounding a tad crazy on this one.

Yes, she's responsible for what she says, and for any consequences. But as of yet, we have nothing to go on to say that this census worker's death was a consequence of Bachmann's rhetoric.

I took for granted that anyone with any sense would understand that I was pointing out Bachmann's fear mongering type of rhetoric. This is about Bachmann's inciting violence. Why didn't you get that? That's right, that would entail some critical thinking skills.

I would think that critical thinking skills would also demand that there be some sort of link between Bachmann's rhetoric and this man's killers. Oops, we don't know who the killers were, we don't know why they murdered this man. Therefore, in a critical analysis, we don't have any way of knowing if Bachmann's rhetoric was connected in any way to this man's death.
