No, not kidding. That's low even for FOX. I am certainly no FOX fan, well I do like their comedic reports, but this is news. On the rare occasion that they do report it, they generally treat it with some dignity.
I'm not saying specifically Sarah Palin.............I'm including her contributions with a large number of people who are very loud and vocal in terms of violent language and imagery........yet she does share some of the responsibility (as do THEY) because she's made those kinds of statements in many public venues. Even though the man hasn't so far said anything about Palin, that doesn't mean that he didn't "hear" her as part of the many voices who seem to encourage violent language and actions to get attention. The man could have just believed that his derranged thinking had been validated by many of the voices he hear talking in the political arena.
When you have some evidence that this individual even knows who Palin is, get back to us.
Are you talking about those carrying sign depicting presidents as Hitler, or sign with images of a president being strung up in a noose, or signs with imagery of a target on a president?
Or maybe imagery of bullseyes and "target lists", like this;
Why subject anyone (yes even Palin) to a smear. There is no evidence this guy even knows who Palin is. Yes, yes we all know that doesn't stop the radical left from trying, but there is no reason for the rest of us to get sucked in.
On the other hand ... If a Detroit Muslim put a map on the web w/crosshairs on 20 politicians (with the header: We've diagnosed the problem ... help us prescribe the solution), then one of them got shot, where would he be sitting right now?
Indeed ... This is simply one more unbelievable example of how excessively fearful the DINO Libs are of the Taxed Enough Already Organization and of course that "Lil' Ole Foxey Lady" Palin !!!
It is truly pathetic that these worrisome folks will not recognize the facts in any friggin issue ... political or otherwise !
Isn't it pitiful that a select few of the looney lib blokes have such one track minds as the ones we are hearing from regarding this thread !
Please y'all ... act like you got some "smarts" for once in your lives !
Thanks Y'ALL & have a wonderful Sunday / Old Sgt. Lamar
Its now up to you to provide evidence that the shooter was inspired or encouraged by Palin's words.
I'm offering my OPINON. IMO, common sense tells me that the very loud voices out there in radio, TV, and the Internet contributed to the synergistic effect demonstrated by the actions of this mentally disturbed person.
Now, it's up to you to prove that Palin contributed in no way to such synergy, or you can simply say that it's your OPINON that Palin shares no responsibility.

That might depend upon what else he or she had advocated.

So basically you're saying that it's Sarah Palin even if the shooter never thought of her, quoted her, or even followed her based upon this limited evidence we have seen thus far. Enough. All we know thus far is that this young man was quite disturbed. To reach this level of mental illness, he hardly needed a Sarah Palin. The disturbed mind finds twisted meaning in the innocent and doesn't need a legitimate reason. We've seen this in history in people such as John Hinckley, the Ft Hood shooter, Joseph Stack (flew plane into IRS building), etc.
