"I'm old enough to remember the poison political climate in this country after Clinton was elected, and that led to the Oklahoma City bombing."
Good, then you are also old enough to educate yourself. Motivation for the OC bombing was the Ruby Ridge massacre and the unjustifiable armed assault on the Branch Dividians in which 21 innocent children perished.
Bush Sr gets credit for Ruby Ridge.
McVeigh and Nichols have blood on their hands, but so does Bush Sr and Clinton.
"Beck, Limbaugh, Palin, Angle, Bachman and the whole lot of them on the extreme right have used gun metaphors and quasi-violent revolutionary rhetoric to demonize people and organizations that they dislike."
Seriously?
"“If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun,”
Why are the RW pundits the ones so desperately trying to deflect and say "it's not my fault". The LW pundits don't seem to be saying that. The fact is, both sides do it, only the left seems to be acknowledging that and apologize for it. As an aside, O'Reilly, the "Oracle of Tides", last night ended his show with a letter from an Elementary School kid saying how smart he is. Maybe he is smarter than a 5th grader, seems to me I knew about the moon and tides in the 5th grade, but perhaps my memory is getting foggy.
You really need to change where you get your "news". The left started immediately after the incident.
You do realize that you have used "bottom feeders", "gutter-snipes", and "creepy" in one sentence to make the point of how we should tone down the rhetoric?
Giffords made the following statement:
“The way she has it depicted is that she has the crosshairs of a gunsight over our district,” Giffords said. “When people do that they’ve got to realize there’s consequences to that action.”I don't blame Palin for the murders or shootings but all need to take a step back and look at the way they handle themselves.
Do you have a link to this?
What murders is Giffords talking about???
Lol, you are saying you don't want to limit speech. Well only limit speech you don't like.
Yes...that is how it works.
Free speech actually means speech we like....
