Neither 'side' has a monopoly on hate.

Oh, but one side has a major Jones on for finding it where it doesn't exist.

Pathetic CNN is in full-on burn-Palin-at-the-stake mode this afternoon.  Had to sit through a half hour (in the barber chair) of what they call 'news', including a phone interview with a Pennsylvania representative (D, of course) saying that publishing political images with 'crosshairs' should be a federal crime and he was going to introduce legislation to make it so as soon as the House reconvenes.  Of course, after that half hour of ad hominen attacks, made without a shred of evidence to support them, in the last sentence from a 'special' report from a DC correspondent, she mentions, OBTW, we still don't know the perpetrator's political leanings or whether they had anything to do with the attack.  So the preceding half hour was just a bunch of unjustified pointless bashing of someone we don't like, because we can, I guess.  What douchebags.

Another fine example of fact-free moralizing (by the Chicago Sun Times).

A good take-down of some of the idiocy and hypocrisy on the left.

I just wish Palin's web team would have left that 'cross-hairs' page up - they had nothing to be ashamed of and no reason to take it down, though I realize, politically speaking, there was no 'good' option.  The leftards would jump on either decision, and have not proven me wrong.

Probably the best assessment of the media/left feeding frenzy going on I've read so far.  And the most pointedly valid comeback.

Yeah, after all this outcry its somewhat ironic that the shooter is generally being described by his classmates as a left wing pothead. Looks like lots of foot in mouth to go around.

The night news crew (NBC local affiliate, anyway) has gotten the talking points memo - the meme is to be 'Crosshairs vs. Compassion'.  In other words, 'Whatever the motive involved in this shooting,whether it has anything to do with political 'vitriol' or not, it has ignited a debate about political vitriol, so we're going to focus on the debate we've chosen to believe we've successfully ignited with our blood libel'.

What a crock of intellectually dishonest dogshit.  Not unlike the 'Doesn't matter if the Killian memos are fake, it's the questions the fake documents raise that matter' garbage.  The people pushing this blood libel have no shame.

Best destruction of Sheriff Dupnik's irrational political commentary.

I think Sarah Palin has to answer why she put REp Giffords district at "crosshairs". This iis an open incitement to violence and there is no excuse for this conduct. To trat political adversaries as enemies to be put at the cross hairs of a gun sight is to say the very least uncivilised.

Bahu:

It's not an open incitement of violence.  Crosshairs are a symbol used by many as indicators of a location.  Only a person with limited intelligence would connect her image and the shooting.  By the way, the DailyKos and other lefty outlets also "targeted" Giffords, but I don't see you obsessing over them.  Why is that?

Once again, the shooter was a nut, and after that he was a liberal nut.  I'm not blaming the left but the fact is the guy is liberal.  I doubt he cared for anything Palin said.  

This is a map from a democrat.  You won't see this in the news though.

A calming voice of reason.  Thank you Smoothseas.

Too Bad - Heil was affirmation that Hitler really was a left wingnut!

One thing I have found with the idiots in the MSM - they will push the stupidity of hate from the left blaming the right - but they will not print any evidence that indicates perhaps the wingnut was left.  As Smoothseas and DrJBHL bott pointed out - crazy is crazy.  They do not belong to an ideology as they do not have that much rational capacity. 

Which makes our local pundits a lot smarter than any of the idiots in the MSM.

Why did/do you not demand the same of the DNC?  2004?  Hypocrite?
