Enough with the Liberal Bogey-man. Stop blaming the left for stuff the right does, as well. Stop acting like if this had been a GOP representative, we wouldn't be hearing a bizarro version of what is going on now.
Conservatives have been attacked in the past and I don't remember the media running articles claiming it was Pelosi or any other remember on the left. The Unabomber was a far left nutter and I don't remember the right blaming left wing media. When violence breaks out at some far left rally protesting what ever it is they are protesting this week I don't see an instant flood of blame directed at the left.
A democratic congressman actually blamed the republican decision to read the constitution for what happened so no nice try but the tired old pot and kettle rebuttal was a swing and a miss (as long as we are using tired clichés).
So sorry easy claim to make but you will need to actually back it up.
A terrible attack was made, people died, others were hurt, and all anyone on either side can do is get with the spinning. It isn't us, it isn't you, its everyone, so get over your illusory high ground and take some responsibility for the state of the country. Maybe think about the fact that it is significantly easier to get a gun than mental health care in America today. Maybe think about the vitriolic language used by both sides is literally designed to get people whipped into a frenzy, and some people were always going to take that too far.
Really it is turning out the guy was probably more of a lefty then anything else but I don't see anyone on the right blaming the angry rhetoric and hate mongering we see on the left. Get off your high horse and realize that the left has made it an accepted fact that most of the countries problems are caused by a toxic environment create by the right. They believe this in spite of the fact that most of them got it from left wing hate sites or the fact that ad hominem is the default attack mode for the left. See the attacks on Palin or Bush is you don’t believe.
Sorry but I don't see the constant whining on the right that we see coming from the left these days about tone. While the left is whining about how mean the right is they are launching personal attacks against them. It truly is astounding that they can embrace hypocrisy so strongly but it seems to part of the mindset.
So long as the easiest route to beating an opponent (dehumanizing them) is taken, we are open to stuff like this happening. This is the America all of us have created, and that all of us are responsible for.
Stuff like what happening? There is less then zero evidence that this guy was motivated by right wing politics so the only thing I can see happening is the left using a tragedy to support a political message (never waste a good tragedy) that cannot be supported by actual facts and making unfounded claims like yours that she was dehumanized or that is had any role in the events.
