Blame The "Daily Kos" For the Action in Arizona?

Some are wondering if incendiary rhetoric on progressive website Daily Kos is responsible for the weekend shooting that left six dead and Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) critically injured.

Just days ago, the far left website posted a column -- since removed -- slamming the conservative Democrat. The author said Giffords was “dead to me” in the post’s title and comments.

Daily Kos has mysteriously deleted that post in the wake of Saturday's shooting tragedy.

Giffords’s offense in the eyes of the Daily Kos left wing community was her relative moderation: she voted against Nancy Pelosi as speaker.

Daily Kos put target practice bullseye on Giffords

This is not the first time Giffords’s opposition to the Pelosi-Obama agenda put her under the crosshairs of the fringe left’s violent rhetoric.

As uncovered by Hillbuzz, in June of 2008 Daily Kos launched its “targeting strategy” putting a “bullseye” on Giffords’s district.

The mainstream media has thus far ignored Kos's map, instead slamming Sarah Palin for a similar map with gun optic 'crosshairs' also targeting Giffords's district last year.

The media's biased agenda is clear. They routinely, hypocritically ignore, excuse, rationalize, and ever cheer and applaud violent rhetoric when that rhetoric flows from the left.

Rabid Obama supporters violently oppose perceived enemies

These are not the only examples of disturbingly violent rhetoric from rabid Obamacrats that has helped poison today’s radicalized political climate.

Last year, Obama urged his starry-eyed backers to confront those who disagree with the President’s policies – also making a veiled reference to firearms to further intimidate political opponents:

I need you to go out and talk to your friends and talk to your neighbors. I want you to talk to them whether they are independent or whether they are Republican. I want you to argue with them and get in their face. And if they tell you that, ‘Well, we’re not sure where he stands on guns.’ I want you to say, ‘He believes in the Second Amendment.’

This is not the first time Obama has called his backers to violence. During the 2008 campaign, he told a Philadelphia crowd to fight the McCain campaign with guns:

If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun.

Given the passionate, protective support for Obama in the Democratic base, the President should be more careful with his words. An unstable leftist might misread the President’s intention as a call to shoot independents and Republicans.

Did Olbermann want Clinton dead?

The pro-Obama media also ought to tone down its violent rhetoric against Obama’s political opposition. In 2008, Keith Olbermann infamously insinuated that Hillary Clinton should be taken out by a man to clear the path for Obama. Olberman stated that Obama backers needed...

Somebody who can take her into a room and only he comes out.

Thankfully, no mentally unstable Obamacrat took Olbermann's misogynistic call for Hillary's assassination to heart.

Kool-Aid drinkers on the radical left will try desperately to assert that the communist, anarchist nutjob who shot Giffords and killed innocents acted on orders from Sarah Palin and the far right.

The truth is that both the far left and the radical right need to try a little civility.

Their constant propagandizing, sexism, and violent demagoguery continues to disgust the growing majorities of the country who reject those extremes to reside instead the postpartisan center-left and center-right.

The doubletalk in the US media beggars belief.

Nice try. But no one reads the Daily KOS. Palin, on the other hand is popular and well known and she will get the blame...along with large capacity magazines, Glen Beck and his seed bank, and Rush Limbaugh.

yup... and despite those closest to him coming out and saying he was very left-wing/liberal....

He was. And he was upset that the Republicans would try to repeal the health care plan. But so what? He was a nutcase. Nutcases sometimes kill people, sometimes they use a gun or a car or a bomb. The are extremeists in their beliefs, whether they be political, religious or whatever. You cannot legislate against them. I do not wish to blame anyone in particular, nor do I think you can.

I blame Global Warming, and Algore for causing Global Warming, and I blame Havard(sp) for producing such blow-hards as Algore and BHO.

This tragedy was the fault of a faulty mind, poor family and friend support structure, deterioration of our mental health infrastructure, and easy access to guns and more specifically guns with unnecessary increased destruction capacity features such as 30+ round clips.

Sooner or later such an incident could occur due to the current increasingly violent and polarizing partisan rhetoric but this incident appears to have nothing to do with it. Pointing left and right for blame is pointless using this incident.

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

I don't understand why the media is using a general point about the quality of political discourse to point fingers in every direction.

It's like something out of Anchorman.

What a farce. The impression that comes across is that Americans are adversarial all of the time. Just bizarre.

IF his parents knew he had guns..... they are the primary holder of blame....due to the fact, you cant completely blame crazy people for doing crazy things.

For not aborting him in the 80th trimester.
