Fire Up the Cauldron of Tar for Liberals’ Witch Hunt of Sarah Palin… Hate-Filled Liberal Journalists & Bloggers Exploiting AZ Shootout to Destroy Palin
Posted By Vicki McClure Davidson on January 11, 2011
Liberals are on a vicious witch hunt to try to connect Sarah Palin to the Tucson, Arizona murders without evidence - tar and feathers, anyone?
Liberal news media, pundits, moronic Hollywood celebrities, and bloggers have fired up the statist cauldron brimming with bubbling tar, have stacked their sacks of feathers, and are out to “get” Sarah Palin for the tragic mass murder shooting that happened in Tucson, Arizona over the weekend. Chaos and gunfire left Rep. Gabrielle Giffords near death, six others dead, including Federal Judge John Roll, and many others wounded.
No matter that gunman Jared Loughner has a history of reported disturbing behavior and likely has a mental illness, perhaps schizophrenia — he was even kicked out of college and rejected by the military. His parents were instructed to get him psychological help — not sure if they ever did.
No matter that he dressed in black, ignored neighbors when they greeted him, had few friends, and setup a Satanic shrine at his home. Mcnorman’s Weblog has creepy photos.
No matter that it appears that he was either part of or associated himself with/had a kinship with an anti-Jewish hate group — Rep. Giffords is Jewish.
No matter that he didn’t vote in the November mid-term elections, is a registered independent, one of his favorite books is “Communist Manifesto” (another is Hitler’s “Mein Kampf”) and according to acquaintances, rarely discussed politics, but preferred philosophy.
No matter that he had disliked Rep. Giffords, thinking her stupid, and expressed his hatred of her as far back as 2007 (long before just about anyone outside of Alaska had ever heard of Sarah Palin).
No matter any of that, according to liberals and the Obama-bot media.
Screw the facts and screw the evidence — Sarah Palin is to blame because, uh, WE WANT HER TO BE GUILTY.
Some of the most frightening, soulless liberals (hellooo, irrelevant Hollywood!) seem to just want her dead.
Fire up the cauldron, get the feathers — let’s have a liberal witch hunt and bring down Sarah Palin.
As Alinsky-ites and statists know, one should “Never let a crisis go to waste.” Some liberals are positively tingling about these gruesome murders as yet another opportunity for them to try to destroy Sarah Palin.
Thankfully, most Americans aren’t falling for it — despite the best efforts of the left-wing media and media-hogging, liberal law enforcement like Sheriff Clarence Dupnik to additionally smear and falsely implicate conservatives, tea party members, Rush Limbaugh, and illegal immigration opponents.
Martin Knight at RedState nails it: Are Liberal Journalists And Bloggers Trying To Have Sarah Palin Assassinated? In A Word, Yes.:
From the moment John McCain unveiled her as his choice of running mate in 2008, Sarah Palin has become a hate-figure to vast swathes – and all evidence points to – a significant majority, of the Left. Her very existence inarguably sends liberals, from the tonier and sophisticated precincts where New York Times journalists congregate to the scatological feverswamps of the DailyKos, into paroxysms of near-homicidal rage. They don’t just hate her, they hate her husband (who has been accused of impregnating his own daughter), her children, her parents and any and all of her associates and supporters.
Frankly, it is beyond question that the vast overwhelming majority of liberals wish the woman had never been born, and, to be even more candid, it is also inarguable that should there be an incident, whether accidental or deliberate, where the lady were to lose her life, there would be celebrating and glasses raised in toasts to whatever (or whoever) brought it about from the comments sections of the Huffington Post to the newsrooms of MSNBC.
Which brings us to the recent tragic incident in Tucson where an obviously crazed Jared Lee Loughner opened fire on a constituent event with Democratic Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, shooting her in the head and outright killing a Federal Judge and others, including a 9 year old girl.
Despite there being no evidence that this incident involved politics in any way as opposed to an obviously mentally disturbed individual, or that if it involved politics, that Jared Loughner was in any way affiliated with Right, and specifically that he was influenced in any way by the writings and speeches of Sarah Palin, liberal journalists and columnists in the nation’s most prestigious newspapers, celebrities and liberal bloggers did not wait for Giffords to finish being stabilized before pointing the finger of blame squarely at Sarah Palin and her “rhetoric”. This even while most of them are acknowledging that this may have nothing to do with politics and that there is no evidence that Jared Loughner had ever given Sarah Palin a second thought.
In fact, the evidence is that this was a personal attack based on what Loughner must obviously have considered a personal sleight. According to Loughner’s friend from high school, he had personally met with Congresswoman Giffords in 2007 (well before Sarah Palin was a household name) with questions reflecting his rather warped political views (seemingly influenced by both the Communist Manifesto and Mein Kampf) and had come away unhappy with the encounter. Considering that mentally disturbed individuals tend to become obsessed and focus on perceived sleights and grow them to monumental proportions, this is most likely what prompted what happened in Tucson.
But from Paul Krugman of the New York Times drawing a direct causal link between Sarah Palin’s innocuous graphic targeting vulnerable Democrats (including Giffords) to defeat at the polls and the shooting, to Michael Daly of the NY Daily News asserting in his article headline that “Rep. Gabrielle Giffords’ blood Is On Sarah Palin’s Hands …“ to Markos Moulitsas’ obviously gleeful “Mission Accomplished, Sarah Palin” tweet, and Wolf Blitzer giving serious air time on CNN to the idea that the attack on Gabrielle Giffords was as a direct result of Sarah Palin’s rhetoric in opposition to the Obama agenda, there seems to be a concerted effort in the “mainstream” media to try and convict Sarah Palin of Jared Loughner’s actions.
Already, in the comments sections of the New York Times, New York Daily News and numerous other “mainstream” newsmedia outlets’ websites, liberal commenters are calling for Sarah Palin’s arrest and the seizure of her assets. Others are darkly hinting that she should be made to “suffer” the same fate as Rep. Giffords – for which they hold Palin responsible – with not much condemnation from other liberal commenters.
Which is what leads me to believe that this isn’t the typical liberal leap to reap a political benefit from others’ personal tragedy, but using the same logic as used by Markos Moulitsas, Paul Krugman, Michael Daly et al. an attempt to pre-justify an attack on the lives of Sarah Palin and members of her family. According to liberal journalists and bloggers, Sarah Palin – via her uniquely incendiary murder-inducing rhetoric – is personally responsible for Jared Loughner’s attack on Rep. Giffords.
Well then, what could be more incendiary than asserting that one is directly responsible for the death of a 9 year old girl, the death of a Federal Judge and the shooting of a Congresswoman in the head? By their own logic, this would certainly lead to an individual – convinced by Daly, Moulitsas et al that Sarah Palin has gotten away with murder – purchasing a gun, leveling it at Sarah Palin, perhaps when she’s at a book signing, or lounging at the pool with her husband and children, and opening fire.
I would certainly hope that this is not what Michael Daly, Markos Moulitsas, Paul Krugman, Jane Fonda, etc. are hoping for deep down. But given their own presumably sincere belief that “reckless” political speech leads to violence, and given the unseemly speed with which they have recklessly decided to heap responsibility on Sarah Palin with no facts to back them up and many to count against them, I am forced to conclude that they are, at best, neutral, and at worst, desirous of Sarah Palin being subjected to serious (even fatal) bodily harm.
Rep. Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona was shot and nearly killed while at a public event in Tucson, Arizona - liberals are blaming Sarah Palin
From CBS News, Jared Lee Loughner a Registered Independent; Didn’t Vote in 2010:
For what it’s worth, the Washington Post reports that 22-year-old alleged Tucson shooter Jared Lee Loughner is a registered independent.
Six people were left dead and 14 injured, including Democratic Rep. Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona, after a gunman believed to have been Loughner open fired at town hall-style meeting on Saturday at a grocery store in Tucson, Ariz.
Though the evidence seems to indicate Loughner lacks a fixed ideology (outside of anti-government sentiment) and may be mentally unstable, many have drawn conclusions about his political leanings. Some have cast him as a conservative and blamed Sarah Palin and Tea Party influences for his actions, while others have cast him as a “lunatic liberal.”
Loughner himself isn’t talking. But the record shows that he registered as an independent in 2006, according to the Pima County Registrar of Voters, and did not vote in 2010.
Bryce Tierney, a friend of Loughner’s, told Mother Jones magazine that Loughner doesn’t have any specific political or ideological bent. “It wasn’t like he was in a certain party or went to rallies,” he said. “It’s not like he’d go on political rants.”
