Minnesota politicians send wishes to Rep. Gabrielle Giffords

“I want people in Minnesota armed and dangerous on this issue of the energy tax because we need to fight back. Thomas Jefferson told us ‘having a revolution every now and then is a good thing,’ and the people — we the people — are going to have to fight back hard if we’re not going to lose our country.” -Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN), March 2009.

Would Ms. Bachmann please now disavow and apologize for this comment?

Bachmann sends condolences? She was asking for this to happen! Why isn’t she celebrating now that she has had her wish of violence against her “liberal, socialist” opponents has come true?

jonerik You are the sick one. You are so jaded that you can not believe that there is any good in any one. How sad for you that you at a time like this must spit out your political hatred. My heart goes out to the people hurting in AZ and to you that you might get a heart.

I’m sick?!!!

Where were you when John F. Kennedy was assassinated? How many people have to be killed by the utterly sick right wing in this country before people like you think this is some aberration?

Take a look at just part of the record, you bozo!

I’m sure you consider yourself an “independent voter” too. Open your eyes man!!

Get a clue, jonerik.

Sirhan Sirhan was a Palestinian
James Earl Ray was a paid hitman (LBJ)
Lee Harvey Oswald was a communist sympathizer
‘Squeaky’ Fromme was a radical leftist
Sara Jane Moore was a radical leftist
John Hinckley was a non-partisan nutcase

Did I miss anybody? Any right-wing nuts on that list? hmmm.

By all accounts this shooter has the same mental illness as your governor. Only he wasn’t on meds.

Words have consequences. For the first time in history we have actual government leaders convincing the nutjobs that their paranoia is real. There are nutjobs on both sides Dennis, but never before have the political leaders of one major party given them the excuse to act.

Bachmann tells the government is setting up re-education camps
Bachmann says congress has actual anti-Americans
Palin says that Obama is actively trying to destroy America
There is a difference between radicals and an actual movement with a world wide cable channel reinforcing their hate.

Now, for your list Dennis. Let’s start a little more recently, shall we:

Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols

The following are all from last year alone!
The “Taxed Enough Already” guy who flew his plane into the IRS building in Texas
The guy who walked into the Unitarian Church in Tennessee and opened fire
The guy who assassinated Dr. Tiller
Byron Williams set out to kill at the Tides foundation for Glen Beck
Several right wingers arrested for threatening to kill congresspeople
Hutaree’s arrested for plotting to overthrow the gov’t
Literally hundreds of acts of violence against democrats after health care vote

Alec, your ambiguous list is moot.

I think you’re going to learn that he was a liberal (and gay) who was mad at the congresswoman because she was too conservative for his tastes.

Dennis –
Martin Luther King was killed by LBJ?
If you have proof of this I’m sure we would all love to see it. But I suspect we won’t.
just like all the other assertions and accusations you have leveled against Mark Ritchie or Al Franken – baseless – without substance – Dennis you are an ass and a shameless fraud.
And I believe – until you can prove otherwise – that monkeys fly out your butt.

The jury is still out on whether Lee Harvey Oswald (who was not a Communist sympathizer) and Sirhan Sirhan acted alone. The likely co-conspirators are all right wing, from the CIA to the Cuban exiles or maybe the mob. James Earl Ray was a paid assassin for the right. There has never been any left wing or liberal counterpart to what you have now with the tea party, having highly visible elected officials or former elected officials urging people to violence and major media outlets giving them a platform. Glen Beck and Rush Limbaugh and other hatemongers filling in the spaces. The tea party is a violent movement bent on overthrow of the government, but doing it one elected person at a time.

Of course Oswald was a communist sympathizer. He tried to defect to the soviet union, he married a russian wife, and he had connections to Cuba.

The MLK family themselves along with Jesse Jackson, have said that they believe King’s murder had been orchestrated by the Johnson administration. Dexter King maintained that “Army intelligence, CIA, FBI” were responsible for his father’s death, and when asked by commentator Forest Sawyer whether he believed “Lyndon Johnson was part of a plot to kill [his] father,” he responded, “I do.”

And let us not forget Sharron Angle’s famous words about “2nd Amendment remedies”. Then when challanged to take back those words, she walked off. It is Sharron Angle, Sarah Palin, and Mcihele Bachmann, who have said vitriolic words that someone out there with half a brain would take litterally!! And did!

Words have consequences. When they are spoken as such, the media should immedeately pounce on thse people and challange them. Especially after the near assassination of a member of Congress. Not to mention 6 other people murdered in cold blood that included a 9 year old girl. What did she do to deserve her fate??

If I were Sarah Palin and Michele Bachman, I would be afraid to be seen in public. These two have said mean things in the past that have tarnished them in the eyes of public opinion.

If I were Barack Obama, I would be apologizing for the following:

“A Republican majority in Congress would mean “hand-to-hand combat” on Capitol Hill for the next two years, threatening policies Democrats have enacted to stabilize the economy,” — Obama, October 6, 2010

“If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun,”— Obama in July 2008

“Here’s the problem: It’s almost like they’ve got — they’ve got a bomb strapped to them and they’ve got their hand on the trigger. You don’t want them to blow up. But you’ve got to kind of talk them, ease that finger off the trigger.” —Obama on banks, March 2009

“I want you to argue with them and get in their face!”— Barack Obama, September 2008

“We’re gonna punish our enemies and we’re gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us.”— Obama to Latinos, October 2010

“I don’t want to quell anger. I think people are right to be angry! I’m angry!” Obama on ACORN Mobs, March 2010 “We talk to these folks… so I know whose ass to kick.“ — Obama on the private sector, June 2010

So your point, Dennis, is what? Oswald is another “liberal” with violent tendencies because he was a communist sympathizer? Some people have accused Johnson of being behind Oswald too. Proof, por favor?

Obama apologize? What a laugh! I’d like to see your proof that Obama made any of those comments or that you just didn;t lift these comments out of context. People sometimes say they are “angry” to make a rhetorical point with their audience. Barack Obama is anything but “angry”. Not in a league with you and your fellow right wing crank racist haters. Bachmann, Palin, Limbaugh and Beck never say they are angry. But their violent word and thoughts belie their smiling faces.

You and all of your hater friends approve of bullying tactics, Dennis, including making threats and intimidating office holders. Like the mobs last year in Washington when the Health Care vote was going on. LIke the “town mob” meetings of Bachmann. I’m sure you there in spirit if not in person.

Again, words have consequences.

And on March 22, 2010, just hours after Rep. Giffords cast her vote in favor of health care reform, a vandal jumped a gate and smashed the glass front door of her Arizona office.

It was just days later that the now infamous map featuring Rep. Giffords’ district in the crosshairs was posted by Sarah Palin’s PAC. In announcing the map, Palin issued a chilling tweet urging her supporters “Don’t retreat. Instead — reload!” Incredulously, through a spokesperson, Sarah Palin is denying that the crosshairs on her map targeting 20 Democrats who voted against health care reform represents gun sights.

As if the crosshairs weren’t clear enough, Jesse Kelley, Rep. Giffords’ Republican opponent in a hard fought race for reelection held an event two months later that makes the stakes all too clear. He asked supporters to donate $50 in order to “shoot a fully automatic M16″ to “get on target” and help “remove Gabrielle Giffords.” Sarah Palin subsequently praised Jesse Kelly on Fox Business News saying: “I don’t feel worthy to lace his combat boots.”
