not sure where you draw your line but this crosses mine random thoughts Send a noteboard - 10/01/2011 10:11:04 PM
There should be no presumed connection with the political climate. She is hardly the first politician in this country targeted by some mentally unstable person with a gun and there is zero reason to believe that is what motivated him. Blaming the political climate when the evidence does not warrant it is simply whoring out a tragedy to support a political agenda that is in no way related to that tragedy.

Even if he was a member of the Palin fan club you would need more then that to blame the political climate for the tragedy much less to blame the right for the political climate. the left has created a boogieman and when they heard a bump in the night they became convinced there really is something under the bed.

But what really irks me is the constant whining about tone while they continue constant personal attacks on the other side. If the media wasn’t part of the problem one would hope they would call them on it but since have allowed liberals to take over the media there isn’t much chance of that. Just more whining that there news organization they don’t control and efforts to shut them down.
