Monday, January 10, 2011 8:41:05 PM The witch hunt is trolling for answers to insanity. However - as all net-surfers will attest - it's a mudslinging world and at least some of the splatter needs to stick to the hate mongers. Whip up a frenzy and then wonder why some fruit buys a Glock. |

Monday, January 10, 2011 6:49:03 PM The map is just a stupid and weak attempt to point the finger, but I think we should all agree that Palin is not a good candidate for political office :) |

Monday, January 10, 2011 6:14:36 PM "You see no correlation with her constant gun imagery and and her attacks on all things democrat with this crazy guy?" the only think I'm speaking of is the map with targets on it- since that seems to be what everyone is focused on. No reasonable person would interpret that as a call to carry out political assassinations- and you can't go around worrying how crazy people might interpret what you have to say. As for other rhetoric- I've definitely heard poo come out of her mouth that crosses the line, as I mentioned in the post to which you are referring. The pervasive theme in her rhetoric that anyone who opposes her point of view is somehow "anti-American" or "pro-terrorist" is certainly dangerous- I'd argue that is far more dangerous than the stupid map. It think it's appropriate to turn a critical eye towards violence in political rhetoric in general- I find it in poor taste that some are trying to score political points with that map. |

Monday, January 10, 2011 4:49:04 PM @Madest So you think Obama has solved the racial barrier? If so you need to get out of your house more and actually turn on some form of news. Either way, I don't care what "talking heads" say. The only news source that is reliable is the American Free Press. Everything else has a bias or is controlled by people in favor of a one world government. Ive said it once I'll say it again, get rid of your tunnel vision and spread your criticism to your democrat buddies just like you do with the republicans. |

Monday, January 10, 2011 2:14:24 PM Let me clarify. I spoke to more than one black person, that said they believe Obama was going to pay off all their debt because they are black. That's what I meant. I said better than equal. I didn't imply any racism. |

Monday, January 10, 2011 1:31:18 PM Hightech, I hope you are aware that it's the talking heads on the right and their minions who claim democrats see Obama as "the messiah". You won't find people on the left who think that or even talk like that. Who says messiah? It's democrats who lack belief in God. Certainly there were repressed Americans who felt that Obamas election broke a barrier and would bring the races together. Clearly it hasn't because the talking heads on the right have brain washed you into spouting the crap they want you to believe. |

Monday, January 10, 2011 1:18:40 PM @Madest ...and Obama has a following of just a bunch of blacks, illegals and college kids...so whats your point? (Of course this is a bad summarization, but this just shows you how bad your last statement sounds) He has created an atmosphere so his "followers" see him as the messiah. Of course he is no such thing, not even close, but that is another discussion. Just stop talking dude, your comments are getting more retarded by the minute. |

Monday, January 10, 2011 1:04:26 PM awww sbleez wtf? Really? You see no correlation with her constant gun imagery and and her attacks on all things democrat with this crazy guy? Her followers have a screw loose. Sarah is retarded personified and she has a following. Her base consists mostly of gun collecting idiots, anti-government extremists and inbred hillbillies who she purposely riles by talking contemptuously to the president and 1st lady, labels everyone that disagrees with her as an enemy, mocks every democratic policy that comes out and feeds her base subliminal messages with crosshairs and slogans like "don't retreat reload!" She built a scene that was bound to happen. The only good that could come out of this situation is the nation will turn their collective back on this nitwit and I never have to hear her opinion on anything ever again. |

Monday, January 10, 2011 11:58:33 AM I have to agree with you CrakrJak- not just about Madest, but about those on the left in general who are trying to use this tragedy as an opportunity to attack Palin. She has said things that suggest she's OK with the use of violence against those with whom she disagrees (such as when she said she "doesn't know" if people who bomb abortion clinics are terrorists), but the stupid map everyone is referring to was pretty innocent. |
