All the authorities and the guys that knew this creep are saying politics had NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING to do with it. But nevertheless the political opportunists will milk this for all the lies they can squeeze out of it and finger point at the right...what I want to know is, you leftists that cry "It's both the left and the right": why don't you quote Davidson here and correct him? Because it fits perfectly into your mindset, that's why. Because although you say "It's both the right and the left, let's stop the finger pointing" you only say that when the finger is pointed at liberals and not at conservatives


I think that it is a good thing that this conversation is happening on a national level now-- even if it is because of something so unbelievably tragic.

It's a conversation that needs to be had and then, when the conversation is over, people of influence will hopefully be more careful of their rhetoric.


Prax, I have heard many, many comments from people on the right that were over the top-- most of them never make the news because it is common place, even expected for influential people on the right to pander to the fears, paranoia and anger of many right-winged Americans.

A lot of what I have personally heard from the likes of Limbaugh and Beck does nothing less than what I have bolded above.

Re: Radical comments.

I think President Obama called for unity, which would be a call for idiots on both sides to stop with the unnecessarily heated rhetoric.

The word Idiot as used by you is an example of heated rhetoric.

You are so deeply immersed in left wing ideology it is a natural part of your speech.

Are you hearing though the many many comments from the people on the right that are over the top? thanks for proving my point....you failed to notice the LEFT and their hate mongering of people like Palin who is notw being protrayed as an anti-semite for using the term blood libel at the time when both sides were being asked to TONE DOWN THE RHETORIC all that happened was the left ratcheted up the rhetoric!

And as usual you don't see that. Instead you want to point fingers at one side

Re: Radical comments.

JD - both sides engage in the rhetoric battle. Anyone who tries to say that one side does it more than another, has an agenda to push.
Have you ever gone to Democratic Underground and read some of the stuff there?

What I have heard and read does not accuse Palin of being anti-Semite. I have also read that those who would accuse of her of this are simply picking on her.

If there are people saying that, I will clearly state they are just fishing for something-- acting out of their prejudicial bias against Palin.

Not that they're racially prejudiced, but they are prejudiced in their thinking that Palin screws up whenever she opens her mouth.


Still, Palin's faux pas helped create this image. She is having a hard time shaking that bad image, but she created it.

No one questions Giulliani's intellectualism. Why is that?
No one questions Powell's intellectualism. Why is that?
No one questions Gingrich's intellectualism. Why is that?
No one questions Hutchinson's intellectualism. Why is that?


Palin's intellectualism is attacked and people want to call that hate speech???

Palin's intents are questioned with her poor choice of words, but she represents the extreme right in the minds of some. Could it be that in their minds', her intents were not clear?

Palin has a terrible image and the onus on her to fix it.

Democratic Underground is not mainstream and does not carry the same weight of Beck or others being over the top with their comments.

There are some on the right who are almost consistently making over the top remarks that make the mainstream-- because they are part of the mainstream media.

It's not like Beck and Limbaugh can only be picked up on my transistor radio.



I don't have an agenda to push in this discussion.
