The victims think so:
"Fuller said in an interview with The New York Times last week that he had trouble sleeping after he was wounded. Fuller repeatedly denounced the "Tea Party crime syndicate'' in the interview, saying he placed some of the blame for the shooting on Sarah Palin and other Republican leaders for creating a toxic atmosphere."Is the Tea Party Crime Syndicate responsible for the Arizona shooter?
The Conservative powerbase has brainwashed their pawns to systematically silence anyone who doesn't agree with them (ie, Liberals, Democrats, etc.).
Please do everything you can to remove the hateful 'Party of "No"' before they become too powerful. The ultimate goal of "Conservatives" is to dictate what you can read, who you will marry, how you will vote, when you will attend which church, what you may say, etc., etc., etc....
I am one of many former Republicans, scared off by the irrational, hate-filled, lying, fear-mongering, neoCon "loon-fringe", who have hijacked the GOP...
====================
Is Sarah Palin getting the message? An astonishing 250,000 people signed a petition asking Palin to renounce the use of crosshairs and other gun imagery and do her part to tone down the violent political rhetoric in this country.
Her reply? She released a video in which, carefully reading from a teleprompter, she lashed out at those who dared to question her use of violent imagery, calling us "reprehensible." Rather than signaling a willingness to change her language going forward, Palin controversially labeled our calls to renounce violent eliminationist rhetoric as "blood libel" 鈥?a term which itself invokes a long and violent history of anti-semitism.1
In the face of a tragedy that has rocked our nation, Palin 鈥?who put the crosshairs on Rep. Giffords for her vote in support of healthcare 鈥?is calling herself the victim.
Palin's eagerness to invoke this type of rhetoric is precisely why her crosshairs image has become symbolic of the violent language used far too often by rightwing politicians and media outlets 鈥?language that is starting to be seriously questioned by many media figures and political leaders of both parties.
The media is finally picking up on the connection between the kind of extreme rhetoric validated by Palin and the toxic environment which provokes political violence. Please help build our call and help make this tragedy a watershed moment for changing the poisonous political climate in this country.Is the Tea Party Crime Syndicate responsible for the Arizona shooter?
