The tooth fairy kind to you?

I could of course quote Aryan Brotherhood sites against the right. But I doubt they portray widely held beliefs. So I don't.

However a Sarah Palin web site? That is getting pretty main line.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxgJK...ayer_embedded#!

That is a Youtube link of tweets about Palin wishing death on her. Is Youtube now a " right wing site"

The other link provided also provides links to the things they address guess they are all right wing sites also

Maybe it is time for people to report death threats on the web. Your ISP can be traced and people can be reported.

No, we "all" don't "know" anything of the sort, nor are your statements related to reality in any way. Calm down. Nobody is trying to restrict your free speech rights, democrats are not trying to take your guns away, so get a grip, take a deep breath, and relax. Everything is going to be okay.

Police Say They Visited Tucson Suspect's Home Even Before Rampage

This is really strange. I do wonder what kind of mental illness this young man had? Whatever it was, it seems to have only onset in the last couple of months.

Schizophrenia seems likely based on his paranoia, detachment from reality, and strange way of thinking.

I wonder if this guy will get insanity plea? As long as he isn't a free man the rest of his life, I'm fine.

And anyone who insists someone is responsible for a killing when they are not should be sued for slander and libel.

The left will say this doesn't count, because its just regular people. However, they have no problem pointing out "regular people" at tea party rallies.

I am waiting to see those democrats that think all the hate is coming from the right to defend these links
Since this horrible tragedy occured, I've been watching the accusations, politicization, and finger-pointing flying fast and furiously from the left.

As far as I am concerned, this is the work of a seriously deranged young man whose behavior for several years prior to this event, was a series of red flags that were ignored by those around him. Trying to score political points by assigning blame to anything exterior to this young man is foolish and misplaced.

Strangely though, it has brought one point to the forefront that many people may not have realized prior to this.

When those on the left say hateful, terrible things about a politician or someone else who disagrees with them, wishes death and destruction upon them and their progeny, or uses inappropriate analogies, they are excercising their First Amendment rights. When someone on the right does any of the above, they are "inflamming" the general populace and inciting them to violence. Or at least, that is the way THEY see things.

The hands of those on the left are as dirty as anyone else's when it comes to hateful, disgusting rhetoric.

Those who live in glass houses......

Yeah, I know, because the people won't put up with the democrats trying to curtail speech they don't like or restrict actual "rights" we have.

Here are some statistics comparing the rate of gun deaths to type of gun law.

No source that I can see, so take with a pinch of salt.
