But only Sarah Palin put 20 Democratic members of Congress in her crosshairs, and only Sarah Palin bragged that 18 are now gone, leaving Rep. Giffords and Rep. Nick Rahall of West Virginia.Someone has to say it. There has been an astonishing acceleration of violent right wing rhetoric. At the same time, the mainstream media has come to accept armed revolution (second amendment remedies) and violence as legitimate political discourse instead of calling it out as behavior that crosses a very dangerous line. In the past week alone, incendiary devices were received at the offices of the Democratic Secretary of Homeland Security and the Democratic Governor of Maryland.This is what Sarah Palin and others like her have wrought with their violent and vitriolic rhetoric that literally places gun sights on people who don't agree with their extreme views.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.

yeah, right, because there has never been any nasty rhetoric spewed by the left in this country...oh, wait:

Oops, guess that dioesn't count, because the fucking vulture media can't stretch it to indict Palin or conservatives somehow.
Give me a fucking break, the lengths this disgusting excuse for a media will go to try and destroy this woman is beyond the pale.
There is absolutely ZERO indication that this nutjob was a Palinite or even a conservative, but since when does that stop the media from jumping to baseless conclusions? (oh wait, when the perp is a muslim, then of course, "we must not rush to judgement or make blanket accusations").
Bullshit.
Goebbels would be right proud.
