My understanding of the word "politically correct" is starting to be clouded. I don't want to get into whether you should blame Palin or not, but at the same time, there are some things that are obvious things to not do.

How can Sarah Palin release a map with goddamn crosshairs and not get in trouble? That's really the one thing that bugs me with the US. Anywhere else (well, anywhere else decent) in the world you do that, your political career is absolutely over.

ye. This is why it happened. and exactly what the context was.
Cause we're that intelligent

No, because some people with guns are that intelligent. It takes one misguided person with a gun. Not the average person thinking that this is what is called for. One person can ruin things for everyone else. Things like that map with crosshairs don't incite masses to go on bloody rampages. But they may just help nudge certain people to act instead of talk. I'm not saying Palin incited murder, but to say that a prominent public figure using crosshairs as a metaphor for her targets carries some influence.

no. they are irrelevant. Much like reading catcher in the rye made someone kill john lennon. A crosshair on a map of america does not make people go out and kill each other. no. please get some common sense.


Then I guess every citizen around the world who has ever supported a mass murdering tyrant was also just a complete bloody wretch because public figures don't have any influence over others with what they say. right?

Does no one remember the abortion doctor from kansas, tiller?

TILLER THE BABY KILLER! TILLER THE BABY KILLER! o'reilly had something like a dozen shows dedicated to TILLER THE BABY KILLER!!!!! finally someone, who watched o'reilly nightly and owned all of his books, shot the man while in church.

Does everyone remember when the california highway patrol stopped a man armed to the teeth on the highway? He was going to go kill everyone at the tides foundation. Guess who his favorite pundit was: glenn beck. Glenn beck had dedicated something like 10 of his shows to tides foundation and how they were destroying america in the span of a few months. Despite being a local left-leaning non-profit charity(local as in not national), glenn beck demonized them as the masterminds behind the downfall of america.


Don't even try and tell me that pundits don't have influence over the fringe elements of political groups.


Yah but the tone was there. And it certainly needs to be addressed so that the tone of politics is made more respectful. This could be the militant far right.

I doubt that. As much as a I loathe Palin and the rest of the far right in the US blaming this on them is extreme. Could be a Nazi, an anarchist, an anti-govt guy etc. Information is sketchy at best, and we should stop speculating.

Oh, and press conference coming up according to KOLD.


Wanna bet on it? No doubt they will bring up the crosshair map and how Sarah Palin suspiciously removed it from her website after the incident.


We can bet some e-Dollars But I doubt they will - they are too rational. They will comment on it, but I doubt they will blame anyone but the shooter and maybe co-conspirators.

Maybe in a week or so. Or if they shooter openly acknowledges doing this for Palin,

Daymu, that's brutal.

In any case, guess that'll be the permanent end of "Congressman on Your Corner", what congressman would risk it after this?

Not just that, but even assuming this woman survives without some kind of permanent disabling injury, who's gonna want to step up to the plate and replace her after this?

If "getting shot" is going to be an occupational hazard of being a Democrat in certain states from now on, we're even more in trouble than I imagined.


I wouldn't be surprised if she wanted to resign, but I'd give her massive props if she stays defiant and serves for a long time in spite of this.

I can easily see them calling out their use of crosshairs, as well as call to second amendment rights... they won't go as far as saying that it's completely their fault, and that they should be punished or put on trial or something, that's obviously ridiculous, but some of these radical ideas floating around from both sides of the fence need to be controlled. You can't just go around talking about using force, it's really really dangerous to play with fire, and that's exactly what some of these people are doing.

Well i redact my statement. I was wrong. If there are people like you. then there are certianly those who are going to kill over a political poster cause it has a crosshair on it.

I show you you're wrong and you act like a child. Thank you for your additions to this thread, they're much appreciated.

Pres. Obama
This morning, in an unspeakable tragedy, a number of Americans were shot in Tuscon, Arizona, at a constituent meeting with Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. And while we are continuing to receive information, we know that some have passed away, and that Representative Giffords is gravely wounded.
We do not yet have all the answers. What we do know is that such a senseless and terrible act of violence has no place in a free society. I ask all Americans to join me and Michelle in keeping Representative Giffords, the victims of this tragedy, and their families in our prayers.

Sarah Palin
My sincere condolences are offered to the family of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and the other victims of today's tragic shooting in Arizona.
On behalf of Todd and my family, we all pray for the victims and their families, and for peace and justice.

Its sad, shit like that wont even be talked about on the TV. Another (D) congressman from Arizona, whos name i didnt not get, said that politicians need to be more accountable for the things they say, and the way that they say it. Language used by politicians these days are extreme and can absolutely be interpreted as messages of violence

Let's see how Glenn Beck react to this.


Remember when the woman fired shots at the military base because she said it was a FEMA concentration camp something of which Glenn Beck said was a reality, he blamed the media for blaming him.

Yeah, unfortunately most of the public won't know about that graphic.

I live in her district and have met her multiple times. Giffords was a really kind person and it is a fucking shame some douche felt he had to do this. Her and plenty of other innocent people have been shot and if they live, their lives are foreever changed.
