Arizona Shooting - Progressives, Democrats continue to Assail Conservatives and Profit; Washington Post Op-Ed suggests Libel as Result

It is unfortunate that through a tragedy, such as the Tucson shooting of moderate, second amendment, “Blue Dog” Democrat Congressional Representative, Gabrielle Gifford’s, immediately evolved into media frenzy from the left against Conservative speech, with elected officials actually profiting from the heinous crime. For example, days after details of the case began to emerge, noting the individual shooter, one Jared Loughner, was, according to classmates, was a left-leaning, “pothead”, who had made previous death threats, which were known to the AZ Sheriff, and had been “fixated” on the Congresswoman since 2007. In other words, the man who’s mug shot most resembles that of Charles Manson’s (sans hair), has zero probability of being politically motivated in any way towards any type of Conservative, Republican and/or right-wing philosophy. That hasn’t, however, stopped the professional left from profiting and continuing to politicize what has happened in Tucson.
A progressive website Care2.com sent the following email (see image) to subscribers yesterday: dated January 11, 2011, the subject: Tell Sarah Palin: Violent Threats Have Consequences!



When one clicks through to the website from the email, the rhetoric heats up:

• Target: Sarah Palin
• Sponsored by: CREDO Action
Sarah Palin has a special responsibility and opportunity in the wake of the attempted assassination of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. For it was Sarah Palin and Sarah Palin alone who earlier put the crosshairs of a gun on Rep. Giffords. And so far, Palin's response has been Facebook prayers for the victims and an official denial that her widely distributed map involved gun sights at all. That is obscene duplicity at best.

Apologists on the right are already saying that while tragic, this event was simply the result of an isolated act by a deranged individual. There have always been deranged individuals. But they have not always had easy access to guns nor have they always lived in a 24-hour-a-day media machine that promotes a toxic soup of violent attacks on political opponents.

We are heartbroken by these events and our hopes and prayers are with the victims and their families. But prayers and broken hearts are not enough.

How can anyone not be haunted by the prophetic words of Rep. Giffords herself in March 2010, after her office was vandalized, threats received, and her name and district identified by Sarah Palin in her infamous crosshairs:

"Sarah plain has the crosshairs of a gun sight over our district and when people do that, they've got to realize there are consequences to that action."

Will there be consequences?

We agree with Keith Olbermann who said last night that "Violence, or the threat of violence, has no place in our democracy."

Of interest is that, in this case, Sarah Palin is “The Target”.

The site is a political Petition website, with an obvious Progressive bent which profits from partners such as publicly funded entities: WGBH (Public Television), and of course the parent: PBS

As of the date of the email and petition sufficient evidence has come to light to make the charges contained within the email, scurrilous, if just not plain stupid.

Not to be outdone by the “professional left”, Vermont Senator, Bernard Sanders, is actually sending out fundraising emails to politically capitalize on the shootings Sanders, one must note, is a "Socialist", who votes with the Democrats 98% of the time (one has to wonder with whom he votes the other 2%.).

The LA Times today ran an article ”Loughner's ramblings appear rooted in far right”, www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation, and the Detroit Free Press (1-12-11) weighed in, http://www.freep.com, “Did politicians help pull the trigger?”

Again, the one person who is most maligned by the progressive leaning media and like-minded websites, one Sarah Palin, Social Conservative, is blamed.

The only sane op-ed to date, has come from the Washington Post, entitled “Massacre, then libel”, by (granted) Conservative Commentator, Charles KRAUTHAMMER Suffice it to say, Mr. Krauthammer has made the most solid points, sans rhetoric, to date.

The crux of the matter is that someone who was not mentally stable (obviously), committed a crime, whereby a Democrat Sheriff, up for reelection, decided to capitalize upon, regardless of the face the shooter was known to him to have made death threats and had been fixated on the Congresswoman, well before Palin, the Tea Party, etc., came on the scene. This was immediately picked up in newsrooms nationwide was “gospel”, transferred to the press, and of course, the Progressive Political Action Groups with the eye towards two thing: a) personal gain through either election and/or fundraising, and b) to take one step forward on an attempt to silence voices from the right, be they talk radio hosts, television personalities, or politicians. It is glaringly apparent, and as the days go forward, and the evidence mounts, it becomes apparent that there may very well be a backlash, only one with unintended consequences to those who had it wrong all along.

Who is Elected Democrat Sherriff Clarence Dupnik? A 28 Year Incumbent Democrat Who Used a Tragedy to Campaign.

The Man who used a tragedy for Political purposes, Dupnik, Sheriff elected in 2008 - image: website: Immigration Clearninghouse

A great deal of political rhetoric came out of the tragedy in Arizona where an obviously Manson/Hinkley-type gunman, who had been obsessed with a Congresswoman for the past three years (see ABC News Story included below), shot and wounded the Moderate Congresswoman, along with killing and wounding members of her staff as well as those attending a constituents meeting. In fact, the killer, who had a long history of psychiatric issues, had even made death threats to which the elected Sheriff, Clarence Dupnik, was aware prior to the shooting (Reuters).

Immediately after the shooting, the Sheriff, in a Press Conference, used the opportunity to begin a political campaign for reelection as he blasted high profile personalities who are Republicans or associated with the Party, such as Governor Sarah Palin of Alaska, and Rush Limbaugh, a radio personality, for their “responsibility” via right-wing rhetoric in the shooting of a moderate, gun-owning Congresswoman. Dupnik, reelected in 2008, will be up for reelection in 2012, therefore, no time like the present to take a shot at the “opposition” and throw his open border, anti immigration law constituents some “red meat”. This was immediately picked up by the MSNBC press (meaning all News outlets with the same political bent) and spun as “fact”.

Unfortunately, the facts aren’t always what is played out in the minds of those seeking to retain their political seats, or the news media that appears to support said Sheriff or has a more left of center political bent. The person who committed these crimes obviously needed help; political affiliation did not enter into the decision to shoot the Congresswoman. He was a liberal, independent, and disturbed.

As facts become available we learn that the shooter was left of center based on his progressive political philosophy taught to him during his primary school years, (The School where the shooter attended as a child was based on the philosophy and curriculum of one Bill Ayers a Progressive Professor and former domestic terrorist, whose hero was Sirhan Sirhan. It is fact, in all likelihood, those with normal psyche would never have committed such a crime, regardless of which political party or philosophy he or she subscribed.

There are, however, no excuses for the Sheriff, a duly elected official, obviously trying to make points by blasting any high profile Conservative upon which he can cast blame and, by doing so placed himself in a spotlight borne out of a tragedy. Loathsome may not be a kind enough word for this type of base behavior by a 28 year Career Democrat politician.

In the interview with ABC shown below, the scoundrel of a Sheriff, after being confronted with facts, continues to blame the “right wing” – his target, Rush Limbaugh. Above all, he remains unrepentant and stands by his twisted words. Of course, given the media, he may be doing so because he is speaking to a choir that is more interested the degradation of those on the right, regardless of facts, than they are in truth in order to push a political agenda. The Google Search for “Recall Sheriff Dupnik” is up to 26,800 results, giving rise to speculation that his base political stunt may cost him in the long run.

In this nation, in times such as these, individuals who hold seats of power of any sort, and who use them for a political platform, are actually of inciting further violence, based on their rhetoric. For the record, although a registered "Independent", the shooter, was described by high school classmates as a “liberal”, (given his Ayers curriculum, what else could one expect?.) Therefore, he was neither right wing, or left wing, merely disturbed, again, along the lines of a Manson, or Hinckley. The despicable Sheriff, and the rest of those who jumped to conclusions and were quick to point out how the “right” was responsible, in order to further a political agenda, should be exposed for the charlatans they are.

This blog article in response to political rhetoric, proposes left of center teaching (sic: progressive teaching) responsible for violence. Note, this was written before many facts were available including the Ayers connection: It is the comments written by those who follow only one or two media outlets which are most telling, as to the type of rhetoric (including violence) that the Sheriff, knowingly caused (see campaign for reelection).
