So let me get this straight, a crazy guys shoots up a bunch of folks at a rally, grendle blames it on the tea party, soonerdvm jumps in with a palin ad, ect. What the heck is wrong with you people?! He was a crazy idiot! I'm suprised one of you didn't bring up obama talking about bringing a knife to a gunfight in one of his speeches. Now go ahead and burn me at the stake, I'll be thinking about the families who are heartbroken.

You do have to credit Palin for scrubbing her web site.
It's possible that the libtards could pretend that there is some sort of
causal link between people who "seem" to advocate violence against
political enemies, and those nuts who actually carry it out.

This probably didn't help.

Not the first time that sort of map has been used.

I didn't post it, I quoted it and pointed out that Palin has taken that graphic down.

And, for the record, I blame it on the batshit crazy ass who pulled the trigger. In the end, that's what matters, the guy who decided to shoot. I do not believe that anything you see or read can MAKE you become violent or stupid. If you're already so imbalanced that political hate speech, or some graphic on a website tips you over the edge and makes you start shooting, then it was just a matter of time before it happened anyway.

Care to show us where this guy has been linked to the tea party?

Reminds me of:
Bluto: What? Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!
Otter: [to Boon] Germans?
Boon: Forget it, he's rolling.

No one has said the guy was a member of the Tea Party.
What has been said is that when politicians such as Bachman, Angle,
and yes Palin, speek of second ammendment solutions to political
problems, people will quite naturally see a conection when a nut
does a nuttty thing.
Political speech is and should be protected speech in this country.
A sane politician should have sense enough to draw a few lines for herself.

This.

LC, Larkin,

Like it or not, words can have consequences.

Im sure I am not the only one here offended by the term "Tea Bagger".There are several respected members of this board who are active in the tea party movement. I would appreciate it if you would use a different term to show your ignorance of the the Tea Party movement

I am curious, though, if I were to do a search, how often I'd find terms like "libtard," "DIMocraps" "NObama" and the like in your posts.

You won't find any in mine and I agree with him.
