Tragedy in Arizona Bound to Happen

The tragedy today in Arizona was bound to happen.  And you can lay the blame squarely at the feet of Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh and the rest of the liars who have filled impressionable people's heads full of vitriolic rhetoric laced with hatred.
These people may not have pulled the trigger today that killed six people including a federal judge, an innocent nine-year-old child and left a Democratic Congresswoman in critical condition; but they are just as guilty as the man who did. 
They have spent the last two years playing on the emotions of people, leading them to believe that the government and Democrats in particular cannot be trusted...that they are conspiring to create a Socialist state and that Obama is nothing but another Hitler, all to advance their own greedy agendas.
All it takes is one slightly off-center individual to be pushed over the edge by those kinds of remarks.  Now it has happened and lives are shattered.

In countries where ''freedom of Speech'' is REGULATED, that means you cant go around saying anything and everything you want to say in public if it has the potential to cause subversion or chaos or hatred or conflict this sort of thing wouldnt happen. If it did and some idiot decides to get stupid and say stupid things, he gets locked up. The moral of the story is, keep your mouth shut in public and keep your stupid ideas to yourself.

Sorry, but I get really riled up when people get hurt...especially when a child dies or lives are shattered by sheer stupidity...

And this was sheer stupidity fueled by hatred of the right toward our government and Democrats in particular.

That says it all, Kristy.

Guns have only one purpose and that is to kill. The excuse that they are needed for the militia is nonsense. We don't have militias. We provide arms and uniforms to the reserves and National Guard and eliminated the state militias long ago. The excuse that guns are needed for "personal protection" is bull-pucky. Man up and use your fists if you have to. For protection at home, sign up with ADT or another alarm system. Keep a nine-iron next to the door like me. But, as I said, we are Cowboy Nation, so it won't ever change.

You are right, jd. The fact that the Consitution gives people the right to bear arms will keep it from ever getting to first base.

It is so true that violent rhetoric leads to violent actions.

Of course it does; but try telling that to the nutcases over on Blogster.

Something was wrong there.He purchased the gun legally.
Wrong:He should not able to purchased a gun for he had a criminal record I believe and did not get along with the law enforcement.
Something is wrong with this picture.
He was mental Yea so they say.
Beck and Rush are nothing but idiots.
Very sad and hope that All Americans are sad to hear this.

No man with his history should ever have access to a gun.

Another sad commentary on the human condition. It takes only one person to degrade us all.
comment by solitaire on Jan 9, 2011 7:18 AM ()
And it takes only person making a statement that if we can't settle it at the ballot box that we will settle it with guns to push someone like this man over the edge.

If you give a man a gun, he will eventually shoot something. If you allow a mentally ill man to have one, eventually you have shot something (or someone).

True, but more tolerance for the opposing view could certainly have helped.
reply by redimpala on Jan 9, 2011 9:49 AM ()
Not one of them has issued a statement condemning this horrific shooting. Utterly disgraceful!!
comment by marta on Jan 8, 2011 9:55 PM ()
Don't expect them to, either.

The ARE a disgrace to the word "citizen". I have just been waiting for something like this to happen because of their continued encouragement for citizens to rise up in revolt.
