1 Pretty sure I read that all  on Friday night...maybe from Michele Malkin's site(s)?

2 At least we all know the Moslem Brotherhood had nothing to do with it.

3 Don't forget the sniper shooters in DC area -- John Allen Muhammad or whatever his name was... originally we were told to be on the look out for an angry white male type. That pre-dated the tea party but since all tea party types are angry white males, well you get the point.

4 Of course - and then the truth comes out and...crickets.
On a side note. I live (for now) in the wonderful facist state of Illinois and have noticed something verrrry interesting - spot after spot for The One airing on TV. In his home state. A blue state. What does this tell you?

5 No no, it's just sensationalistic journalists. Oh, and SQUIRREL!

6 Barack Obama is a stuttering clusterf*ck of a miserable tyrant.

I love that story about the 21 people burning their feet at the Tony Robbins seminar, "Awaken The Burn Victim Within."

8 A friend of a friend keeps reminding me Paterno was a Republican. Paterno made two political contributions in 2008: $1,000 to Sestak and $250 to Obama. But it's always a Republican who is at fault.

9 Good work, Gabe.

10 Wait. The MSM and the Left have an agenda?

11 One error, Loughner was not apolitical, he was a 9-11 truther.

His mother is also a member of SEIU.

12 Those three guys who got shot at the movie while protecting their girlfriends? Male chauvinist homophobes.

/you know someone will say this sooner or later

13 @4 -- Illinois has some competitive House races...they're trying to get Tammy Duckworth elected on Obama's coattails.

Where in Illinois?  I haven't really seen any up here near Chicago.

15 Now you understand why the assassination  of JFK will perpetually be a conspiracy.
You see, Lee Harvey Oswald was leftest. He defected to the Soviet Union and was pro-Catsro.
The left will never accept the fact that their hero was murdered by one of their own.

16

Retroactive Tea Partiers... John Wayne Gacy...no, nevermind, he was a Democrat supporter.  Charles Whitman... no wait, he had a brain tumor.

 

Hmmm, give us time, we'll find one.

17 It mirrors being a Jew, i.e., any time something bad happens or a child goes missing, time for a pogrom. Also, I had heard Loughner shot Giffords because she supposedly didn't support Pelosi's leadership position?

18 Gabe forgot one. The loser who shot up a gym in PA. Turned out he was an Obama supporter.

19 Next you'll be telling me that water is wet.

20 It's almost like they have an agenda or something.  <<<<<

Well, when you are the communications team for the Democratic Party, it could be called an agenda.  Just not subject to FEC rules.

21 Baraka Hussein on the Cambridge police:  "The police acted stupidly."

Baraka Hussein on the Ft. Hood muzzie killer:  "We musn't jump to conclusions."  (After his shout-out to Chief Dances With Goats, or whoever)

You are 100% correct.  The only Republican Paterno ever gave money to was his son who ran for Congress in 2004.

31 ABC = Always Blame Conservatives

32 Dear gawd, we saw a bumper sticker over the weekend that said "Are you better off now than in 2008?  YES!  Obama 2012"

If I'd had a baseball bat I'd be in jail now for assaulting the car.

33 Well, I am in DuPage as well.. I must not be paying attention!  Or, watching different stations.

I must admit this time of year I do not watch the majot networks much.  Last night was HBO and AMC. (Longmire!)

34 Is it just me, or is it odd that the media's go-to suspect in these things is always, always on the conservative side of the political spectrum. It's almost like they have an agenda or something.


As I posted Saturday, the MFM has a matrix built into their computer code that always returns a value of "conservative Republican Teaparty racist" every time something bad happens.



That includes a hot day.

35 The other day I saw a guy with a "don't tread on me" sticker - on a PICK UP TRUCK!! - roll through a stop sign.  No full stop or nothin!!

In other words, he was a closeted Republican. 

 

And Jim Jones was a big Right-Winger, with all of his talk about wealth redistribution, and People's Temples....

46 Our tea party always leaves whatever place we're having a rally cleaner than when we arrived.

Our local Occutards....just the opposite.

Remember the trash and filth on the Mall after Teh Won's inauguration?  I asked my husband's libtard idiot 26 year-old niece if she left any trash when she was there and she just gave me her typical ugly scowl.

Heh.

47 I hear Karla Homolka isn't  all that fond of the Canadian healthcare system these days.  So even though her crimes are like 20 years old.....

48

Don't forget the source of it all:

Lee Harvey Oswald was supposed to be a Right Wing Texas Nut and it turned out he was a communist Castroite who had lived in the USSR

49 The fact that the lede was "we may have something significant" that the pink hairdo weirdo insane clown pussy was is telling in the media nutsacks minds. I think Ross wanted his wienie.

50 You see, Lee Harvey Oswald was leftist. He defected to the Soviet Union and was pro-Catsro.
The left will never accept the fact that their hero was murdered by one of their own.

Ever read the book Legacy of Ashes? It's about all the failures of the CIA from its inception. (The organization was left-infiltrated from the start.)

JFK's CIA tried many, many times to assassinate Fidel Castro. From what we know about LHO, it seems pretty obvious that Castro got tired of dodging would-be assassins and decided to return the favor--with more success, obviously.

But the Organized Left will keep making up their own "facts."

51 This exact list with -links- and -dates- would be a good list to keep up to date just so other morons can reference it.

52

What the MSM is expecting the that Zombie Jefferson will come back...

 

They KNOW that they are taking our Liberty, and know that in the past, Americans have fought for that Liberty.... so they are making a Logical connection.

 

And if they continue to press, they will eventualy be correct.

Sorry, I left out homophobe as well.

54 Don't forget the lefty Unibomber.

I don't remember back then to remember what they thought his motives were. They certainly didn't pick environmentalism. They thought he was anti-Universities, I guess. (Although they spelled it "Unabomber" for some reason.)

The DC sniper is really the sine qua non of this phenomenon.

55 I don't suppose Brian Ross checked the OWS sites to see if there were any James Holmes as members.

56 The Left does love to project on to others.  Fact is that history's most ruthless regimes are of the Left.

57 John Wilkes Booth, really REALLY hated big government. 

58 Ted Bundy did work for the Republican Party, IIRC.

Then again, he does get the rep for being the "smart" serial killer.

It is run by the Koch brothers and full of nothing but strait white male oppressors who are oppressing the masses with their hetero-normative and anglo-normative and andro-normative oppression! Sure they may parade out their Uncle Tom "Oreo" sellout house slaves, but it is really all about violently oppressing the peace-loving, non-hierarchical, communities like "Occupy" who only want to take back everthhing that belongs to them from the evil businesses and corporations because those evil oppressors didn't creat anything but only stole from the people just like Obama said and he wouldn't lie because he is an African metrosexual who is in touch with his feminine side! Those evil oppressors send out their pigs to oppress us and they also lie about us and Daddy won't give me a new iPad because he wants to steal from the people because he is an unrepentant strait white male oppressor and won't pay for my abortions and the lattes for my non-heirarchical and matriarchical commune!

Former FBI profiler Clint Van Zandt is positing that Holmes was a functional schizophrenic who was set off when he failed (spectacularly, it's said) an exam before immediately dropping out of school four weeks before the shooting.  When you think of Holmes's mother's immediate response at the news of the shooting, there may be something to that.

No, his target was Giffords (and yes, for some reason we forget all the people who actually died that day).  But, in brief, he hated her because he was a Democrat and didn't feel that she paid enough attention to him and his crazy ideas.

99 The issue is that the MFM can't consider the possibility that the people who break laws are the ones who want other people constrained by laws.  That is: the people who commit these kinds of atrocities actually tend to be people who want *you* to have more rules, while they intend to ignore them completely.

It is true that SEIU does enslave many people against their will. However, I think Loughner's involvement with Giffords was in large part due to his mother's involvement with the Democrat party.

Whether she was or wasn't part of the 96% that voted in the SEIU, the fact that she was a member should have been reported.

111 You know that any time there's a shooting like this the MFM googles the person's name and Tea Party. They are obsessed with trying to find a link. And don't forget that some web site Sarah Palin had was responsible for the Gifford's shooting

112 John Wilkes Booth, really REALLY hated big government. AND he was an actor... just like Ronald Reagan!

113 Loughner at the time of his crime was too crazy to be called political. Before he broke from reality, he was a leftist, but that's neither here nor there. It's my understanding that he targeted Giffords because she was his rep and she hadn't responded to his crazy letters and his presence at other Giffords events in a way that satisfied him, more like the crazies who try to kill other celebrities who ignore them. It seemed like he could've fixated on anyone...if he'd been a music fan before he went bonkers, he might've fixated on a musician, or something like that.

114 Polynikes, nothing says poser more then crappy, "tactical" magazines.

My husband just returned from a camp out with our troop.  I told him a member of Change.org was on MSDNC and claimed that "thousands of Boy Scouts and Eagle Scouts (our son in an Eagle) across the country are clamoring to allow gay troop leaders."  Really?  We certainly haven't heard of any.

Now, first: Even if BSA wanted to let her be Den Mother, they can't, because that opens the door to others.

Second: BSA isn't preventing her from being involved.  She can still show up to den meetings in an unofficial capacity, she can show up to pack meetings in the same way.  She can still help the kid with his scouting projects and such.  The only things she can't do are be a Den Mother, the Pack Leader, or have any other official position of authority.

If she has a problem with that, she and the other gay parents can start up the Gay Scouts of America and do whatever they want.  They (should) have no right to force their wishes on the private organization with which they voluntarily associate.

Yes... J.W. Booth, Ronald Reagan, OJ... I'm beginning to see the pattern. 

134 Don't forget to add that a certain fill-in blogger accused Bachmann, a strong Tea Party supporter, of something she did not do.

135 Seriously, if it wasn't for the internet, alot of these things would have gone unanswered.  Especially, the mobies at the tea party events carrying nasty signs and then turning out to be nasty socialists.

136 Do not forget that in the Loughner case, Dupnik threw gasoline on the fire with his "vitriol" statement.

@115... It's my understanding that he targeted Giffords because she was his rep and she hadn't responded to his crazy letters and his presence at other Giffords events in a way that satisfied him, more like the crazies who try to kill other celebrities who ignore them...

 

There might be another reason. One of the 'ettes posted a couple of links here a few weeks back that  the Giffords shooting was a hit on the judge that was ruling   on a suit that involved the transfer of confiscated drug monies into  high-ranking officials private accounts,  and that JL  was a pawn.

 

Not sure how much truth to give that theory, but  given this administration's penchant for theft  and underhanded dealings, I wouldn't be surprised.

Compton is mostly Hispanic these days and they don't vote.  If you go up to Santa Monica and the west side, that's where you'll find more Obama stickers than anywhere else.

142 why is Rush talking about this?

143 Suspect charged with arson for sub Miami fire By Sam Fellman - Staff writer Posted : Monday Jul 23, 2012 10:43:55 EDT Federal authorities on Monday charged a Portsmouth, N.H., man with “willfully and maliciously” setting the devastating May 23 fire onboard the attack submarine Miami at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Maine. Casey James Fury, a 24-year-old shipyard worker, admitted to twice setting fire to the sub and was set to appear later in the day in U.S. District Court in Portland, Maine, on two counts of arson, according to the court docket. The May 23 fire raged out of control for hours, causing $400 million in damages. The Navy is now weighing whether to save the Los Angeles-class boat. ???? What's with all these sick fucks. One kills 12 in Colorado and one sets fire to a billion dollar Sub?

144 Eric Holder's DOJ hard at doing what Eric Holder does best ...

Even though the Justice Department spent millions of dollars on the case, it was dropped for lack of evidence to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. The three defendants who pleaded guilty will receive the opportunity to retract their pleas.

Just 11 months ago, federal prosecutors dropped similar accusations against owners of HawaiiÂ’s Aloun Farms, whose tactics were used to keep foreign workers in their service. The case was dropped after the lead prosecutor misstated the law in front of a grand jury. The same team of federal prosecutors handled the Global Horizons case.

145 Snerdley reads the comments.

Regressives think that right-wingers are aggressive by nature for a few reasons.     In no particular order:

 

1) We support gun ownership and our right to bear arms.  Since we want to be allowed to own and use guns, we must be violent.

 

 

2) We are more likely to be pro-life.  This would seem contra-indicative, but the regressives associate "pro-life" with "patriarchal control of the female reproductive system," which they extend to mean,     "men    who   rape their girlfriends and wives (and sisters and daughters)."      It's hyperbolic in the extreme, which is why it's a regressive mainstay.

 

 

3) We are more likely to be religious, or to hold some kind of religious belief.   Similar to our likelihood to be pro-life, regressives assume that "religious belief" equals "male oppression of      women."       Since conservative men are all "angry white males"   (ignoring that conservative views are held by men and women of all races and creeds), then religious belief is a violent act.   Unless your muslim;    see    #6 for more on that.

 

 

4) We are more likely to be unabashedly ominivorous.     Since we like to eat meat -- especially bacon --    we're violent and cruel because we support killing animals.

 

 

5) We are more likely to be strident in our opposition to illegal immigration.   Regressives interpret this as, "CONSERVATIVES WANT TO    STARVE,    DESTROY,      AND    KILL BROWN PEOPLE."    That's as stupid as it sounds, but it's what they believe.   Forget that many of us are descended from LEGAL immigrants of all colors, shapes and sizes.   They ignore the illegality and simply assume we're anti-humanity.

 

6) We are more likely to be strident in our opposition to militant Islam, and we're not shy about calling Islamist extremists "terrorists."    Our penchant to call a terrorist a terrorist makes us violent, because we use violent rhetoric    that demeans a cultural group (Muslims).      Forget that we're not talking    about every Muslim, only those who take part in terrorist acts.   The fact that terrorist acts taken by Muslims are the dominant image most Westerners have of Muslims is the fault of the remaining muslims who don't stand up and say, "Those whackjobs don't speak for me."

 

 

7) Since we support the use of fossil fuels and existing energy sources    and disavow the junk science of "global climate change," we're violent against Mother Earth.      Regressives view our support for oil, coal, fracking, etc, as tantamount to     rape;      we're guilty of    violently penetrating the Earth and    taking what we want to satisfy our     selfish    needs.           Our opposition to funding failing industries with    no staying power in the market is EEEEVIL.          The fact that conservatives would welcome a "cleaner" alternative       to existing energy sources       if it were   affordable, easy to use, and abundant means nothing.

 

 

    We respect     our armed forces, and we support them in their fight all around the globe, even if we don't support the fight itself.    To regressives, this makes us warmongers.  

 

 

Because of all of these reasons -- and no doubt many more -- it's de rigeur for regressives to automatically assume that conservatives are     more likely to commit evil, violent acts than their own regressive brethren.    They     conveniently ignore that conservatives     actually have MORALS,    believe in things like right and wrong,     rewards and     consequences,        personal responsibility, and the basic right of all people to strive for a better life.   

151 There might be another reason. One of the 'ettes posted a couple of links here a few weeks back that the Giffords shooting was a hit on the judge that was ruling on a suit that involved the transfer of confiscated drug monies into high-ranking officials private accounts, and that JL was a pawn.

154 OT:  Holy crap, something I thought was true cause I heard it so much turned out not to be:  Shamelessly stolen from Insty;

>>>>   

It’s an urban legend that the government launched the Internet. The myth is that the Pentagon created the Internet to keep its communications lines up even in a nuclear strike. The truth is a more interesting story about how innovation happens—and about how hard it is to build successful technology companies even once the government gets out of the way. . . .

If the government didnÂ’t invent the Internet, who did? Vinton Cerf developed the TCP/IP protocol, the InternetÂ’s backbone, and Tim Berners-Lee gets credit for hyperlinks. But full credit goes to the company where Mr. Taylor worked after leaving ARPA: Xerox. It was at the Xerox PARC labs in Silicon Valley in the 1970s that the Ethernet was developed to link different computer networks. Researchers there also developed the first personal computer (the Xerox Alto) and the graphical user interface that still drives computer usage today.  <<<<<

I don't remember back then to remember what they thought his motives were. They certainly didn't pick environmentalism. They thought he was anti-Universities, I guess. (Although they spelled it "Unabomber" for some reason.)

They also thought he was after the airlines, so the "a" is for airlines. Long form: University and airlines bomber.

"spot after spot for The One airing on TV. In his home state. A blue state. What does this tell you?"

 

That about half the money (that Obama doesn't have) being spent on those ads is going into the pockets of Obama cronies. Or his campaign is being run by idiots. Or both.

The trip was made through entirely "blue" states, and almost all of them "dark blue". I was expecting to be assaulted by Obama stickers, posters, etc everywhere I wentt, much as I was in '08. I was surprised and encouraged that I wasn't. Not that many or any of these states will flip, but that Zero's popular vote total will be reduced signifigantly.

It's why I identify with Rush so well.  He obviously didn't read comic books as a kid just like I didn't read them either.   I know my parents wanted  me to get my mind around the idea that books were the way to go.  If I wanted to read comic books they made me buy them myself.  If I was interested in  a book, they'd buy it for me.

 

I know nothing of early comic book history (or any comic book history, for that matter).

175 I see a fair number of Obama stickers here in Minneapolis, but 95% of them are from 2008. The reason we don't see the Obama 2012 sticker so much is that a Chevy Volt comes with it.

You cannot create a values vacuum and hope for good things to happen. I may not be terribly happy with how our SoCon brethren approach things, but I have a fair bit of common ground with them on the idea of basic cultural values and traditions, mostly because I've studied enough history to know what happens when you chuck 'em out the window. For the record though, 'The American Conservative' is the most laughably mislabeled venue EVER. Just sayin', folks, just sayin'...

Speaking of Rush, I had a small FB victory over the weekend.

 

Someone posted a link to a blog article about  "how stupid Rush is to not know Batman mythology and think Bane was  made up specifically to be a homonym with Bain."

 

It was a relatively active  posting, with several of   his other liberal friends joining with the "OMGWTF Rush is dumb!" responses.

 

I linked directly to the  DNC spox who blurted out  earlier in the week (several days before Rush said it) about the Bain / Bane comparisons  that they felt were necessary to make.

 

Zero comments since.

 

And this  guy  is so probama  I'm a little amazed that he even let my post stay up.

211 Oh, how many chip fabs did the government own?

Just curious.

212 You gotta be nuts to put a Republican sticker on your car. In 2008 I put a McCain sign in my front yard (more anti-O than pro-McC), and my house was vandalized as a result. There are still traces of the grafitti. I had planned to volunteer to drive people to vote and my wife was so frightened by the vandalization that she refused to let me. On election day she was also afraid to go to the polls, and thus the vandals won a vote against the O.

At the time I reported the event to the police and to the local McCain HQ. They were aware that a lot of this was going on. The local paper finally ran a little story about all the McC signs that were being stolen or vandalized, and the next day they got a call about an O sign that had swastikas spray painted on it. Of course, the papers were all over that like stink on a hog. Could it have been a false-flag op? Why, no, who would think something like that, especially since the call went to the papers almost before the paint was dry. /

Yes, the DSM is the left's alternative to the legal system where nearly every human action has been criminalized, just in case the gov't needs to lock you up. 

The DSM will eventually label every human interaction as being a sign of potential mental instability and create a reason for institutionalization for the trouble-makes that slipped the legal net.  I think the DSM committee is using AoSHQ as a testing ground.

221 Unabomber's last kill(?) was a center-right forestry industry advocate. This was the high point in the lefts abuse of the Endangered Species Protection Act; spotted owl, fairy shrimp, red-bellied turtle.

Leftist front groups led the 90's lawfare attacks on small, family owned lumber companies. Earth First! was active in the arson and sabotage of forestry harvesting equipment, sawmill facilities and tree spiking (intent to harm machines and workers operating milling equipment.)

BlackOrchid - the fact that they still have not gone the way of The Gateway Stores serves as little more than a measure of the "extreme partisanship" of the fan-folk.

 

I mean, do they actually sell anything at these stores that you can't get anywhere else?  Even online?

 

Are they only there to provide face-to-face technical support?

227 228 And that is the problem - their tech support is so god-awful. They really are just shady cell phone stores now. I want them CLOSED. The Gateway Stores were way better. These are shiny traps. Everyone should just go in there to play Angry Birds for free with dirty hands.

What I am contending is that ARPANet was effectively the prototype for the Internet, that it was funded by ARPA, and that most of the hardware used was funded by the government - either by ARPA or other DOD entities.  Granted IBM built the Q32, SDS the 940 but under government contract. Indeed there were some off-the-shelf computers and devices. Nevertheless, the program was funded and directed by the government.

231 On Giuteau:


Guiteau then obtained a law license in Chicago, based on an extremely casual bar exam. He used his money to start a law firm in Chicago based on fraudulent recommendations from virtually every prominent American family of the day.[citation needed] He was not successful. He argued only one case in court, the bulk of his business being in bill collecting. Most of his cases resulted in enraged clients and judicial criticism



sounds familiar.

232 It took the attempted assassination of Reagan to get him to allow the promotion of US gun control laws as "necessary for our own good". As if gun control laws would either prevent assassinations (and attempts) or prevent guns from being used by criminals to victimize the unarmed.

Norway's mass death tragedy happened despite their gun control laws. Although Norwegians can own hunting rifles, those weren't what killed all the summer camp youth massacred by outlawed automatic weapons and outlawed modified semi-automatic into automatic guns without police consent, and by outlawed high powered caliber hand guns.

No need to say "that happened over there; this over here, no parallel at all." Mexico outlaws all civilian firearms, and their disproportionately grotesque suffering is caused by being unarmed against their organized crime (including their government), the aggressors meeting no effective civilian opposition. When civilians are not permitted to be armed for their own security, not armed to secure their home and their neighborhood and their business, then they are all victimized by their government aided terrorists.

The point remains clear that the best armed citizenry (being the Swiss) enjoy the lowest rate of firearm violence and crime, as made evident in US regions that support the Second Amendment.

233 I want them CLOSED. The Gateway Stores were way better. These are shiny traps. Everyone should just go in there to play Angry Birds for free with dirty hands.

who wants to bet leftnuts that prosecutors will not seek the death penalty?

 

This current one has sought the death penalty several times.

I think they said....6 times before?

But she will be term limited out, by the end of the year, and her replacement could decide to not follow through with it.

236 ...and don't forget that the public is warned not to jump to any conclusions just because someone yelled, "Allahu Akbar!" before they blew up a building, because the real reason for them doing such a thing is infinitely more nuanced than just that one thing.

237 Dear gawd, we saw a bumper sticker over the weekend that said "Are you better off now than in 2008? YES! Obama 2012" That's because they were gubmint leech employees.

238 Buy 'provided' you mean sent out RFQs to private contractors who used off-the-shelf equipment made by private corporations, including Honeywell, right?

That's what you meant?

Oh, snap!

 

That's like me telling our IT department that I need a software module that tracks how much screen time a particular account has been displayed per month.  Then they spend a couple of days programming it and I issue a memo saying, "Jeff Creates New Software Module."

239 226

Read the Unabomer Manifesto, then adjust the plot line intersections on zombies chart.

240 Problem is, 90% of the media represents but 20% of the populace. How about 20% liberal and 80% anything else as the standard.Also, the media needs to be reminded that they are Public Servants and are expected to give the unvarnished truth, penalties otherwise. While I'm at it, how about all of us get to vote  on Obamacare during the election?

241 How about the Holocaust shooter, didn't they try to peg that on the Tea Party somehow?

242 "If he has a connection to OWS it will be VERY damning. The Batman movie is overtly anti-OWS." Not really. The OWS/Black Bloc would endorse mass murder of very wealthy people (but not if very wealthy liberals were targeted), and maybe even the mass murder of people going to see a movie like "Occupy Unmasked," but not ordinary theater-goers for watching a mainstream blockbuster movie. It would not reflect badly on OWS because the OWS movement does not endorse what he did. There were no giggles from the left when this happened. It's not like when a Muslim terrorist carries out an attack and there's lots of behind-the-scenes high fiving by "moderate" Muslims.

243 The Unabomber was more left than right. However, he wrote a very long manifesto, so it was easy for the MFM to cherry pick out a few short phrases that sounded right-wing, so they could portray him as a right-wing kook.

244 Whenever I get a wild hair to make a leap of faith, I try to walk on water:  It's less painful that way.

245

Would you let your child spend the weekend with Michael Jackson?

 

You tell me.  Are we talking full on butt-sex or hand job or maybe just a little BJ?  'Cause that'll tell my lawyer how much to ask for in mental damages. . .

I apologize for the tone of my remarks.

247 Hey, where there's smoke, there's fire, and you can hardly see for the smoke.  All those fine journalists wouldn't be accusing the Tea Party of these crimes if they weren't guilty of something.  We just haven't figured out what, yet.

248 Posted by: Daryl Herbert

Dream on,  Daryl.

249 Let's not forget Emanual Cleaver accusing the tea party protesters, outside the Capitol Building, of saying the "N" word about 150 times.  Amazingly, Andrew Breitbard offered a huge reward for anyone who could come up with video of it and they just couldn't and none of the video of the event, there was quite a bit, showed it at all. 

You'd think, after all the failures, someone would wise up and say the tea party just isn't violent.

250 Unibomber had Owl Gore's book.

251 The Tuscon shooting could have been prevented.  Many people noticed his behavior and reported it.  But, everyone was afraid of violating his civil rights, so Loughner get his chance to go nuts and kill a bunch of people.

252 You forgot about the guy who burned down his house and crashed a plane into rented URS offices in Austin. He was supposedly right wing until they found his manifesto that quotes Marx in a positive light.

253

<blockquote>FLASHBACK: When the Tucson shooting occurred, it was immediately blamed on Tea Party rhetoric. In fact, Loughner was <strike>a-political & insane</strike>.</blockquote>Correction: <a href="AZ">AZ'>http://www.wnd.com/?pageId=249429">AZ Shooter is Leftist-terrorist Bill Ayers disciple</a><blockquote>"Jared Lee Loughner, the suspected gunman in Saturday's Arizona shooting, attended a high school that is part of a network in which teachers are trained and provided resources by a liberal group founded by Weatherman terrorist Bill Ayers and funded by President Obama..."</blockquote>I eagerly await the MSMÂ’s strong denunciation of ObamaÂ’s violent-indocrination campaigns.

Own him, Leftists. He's all yours.

254 Then they spend a couple of days programming it and I issue a memo saying, "Jeff Creates New Software Module." In fairness, Lord Jeff took the initiative in creating the software module.

255

[FLASHBACK: When the Tucson shooting occurred, it was immediately blamed on Tea Party rhetoric. In fact, Loughner was a-political & insane.]

Correction: AZ Shooter is Leftist-terrorist Bill Ayers disciple

"Jared Lee Loughner, the suspected gunman in Saturday's Arizona shooting, attended a high school that is part of a network in which teachers are trained and provided resources by a liberal group founded by Weatherman terrorist Bill Ayers and funded by President Obama..."

I eagerly await the MSMÂ’s strong denunciation of ObamaÂ’s violent-indocrination campaigns.

Own him, Leftists. He's all yours.

 

256 I actually did read the Unabomber manifesto back when it came out, so I suppose I need a refresher. Alas, I rarely get my books returned when I lend them out.

257 They keep hoping they've found the right wing extremist they've been warning about for all these years and it keeps not being one - and is often a lefty. Killer after psycho, they end up being fans of Marx, pot smokers, Occupy members, radical leftists, and so on. Never once is this an indictment of leftist ideology or rhetoric.
Every time the press insists that each event is an indictment of the right, until they have to admit they were wrong. Over and over again. From the census worker they said was killed by government haters to this loon, every single instance is proof of decades of slander, and always they're wrong.

258 "The Unabomber wasn't really leftie, but anarchy and anti-tech."
He sounds like freaking Al Gore, how he's not more left leaning than anything else I cannot guess. These days he'd be a hero.

259 Obama is a stuttering clusterf*ck of a miserable failure.

260 Sure bet that James Holmes was at "Occupy Denver" multiple times. Somebody scour the pictures and video of "Occupy Denver" Dollars to donuts, he was there.

261 Loghner was heavily influenced by the movie Zeitgeist which all the OWS types are always raving about. He wasn't apolitical.

262 "It's almost like they have an agenda or something." Whaaaa????????

263 Obvious corollary of the Pauline Kael Effect: 1. The media is predominantly so far left they make George McGovern look like a centrist. 2. Groupthink: they think of themselves as always correct. 3. Anyone with views opposite theirs must be nucking futz. 4. Ergo (I just adore the word "ergo", doesn't it sound officious?), the monstrously violent, evil wackjobs of this modern world must be right-wing nutboys.

264

FLASHBACK: When the Tucson shooting occurred, it was immediately blamed on Tea Party rhetoric. In fact, Loughner was a-political & insane.

___________________ 

What's more, Loughner had been stalking Giffords for several years before the shooting, because he felt she had disrespected him when they exchanged some words at one of her local meet-and-greets in Tucson.  In his diary, Loughner expressed his desire and intent to kill Giffords -- years before the Tea Party even existed.

265 you forget the immediate aftermath of the jfk assassination.

266 ATTN: RayJ

Was the Kennedy assassination the first time the media falsely blamed conservatives for an act of violence?  I remember too, that the entire city of Dallas was demonized as a city of hate after the assassination.

And, the media has NO problem with conspiracy theories, if the theories are promoted by Leftists.  And the leftwing conspiracy theorists in JFK's assassination were first out of the gate.  I've read alot of the this stuff and I can't think of one conspiracy from the right.

267       John Wilkes Booth was pro-Slavery Southern sympathizer when the Republican party consisted entirely of Northerners. He was definitely a member of the Democrat's party.
      In Europe, the definition of left and right are different from what they are here. Right wing means nationalist, left wing internationalist. Hitler was a big government socialist but also a German nationalist. The name of his party was the National Socialist German Workers Party. What distinguished him from the left was only his nationalism. His view would be closest to Left wing supporters of "buy American" in this country, his tactics like those of the Occupiers or SEIU. He was the very opposite of American Conservatives or Tea Partiers. Actually his views were close to those of Stalin, who was a Communist but also a Russian nationalist, which is why his pact with the USSR which started WW2 was a natural alignment.

268 Brian Ross is a convicted felon. So is Brian Ross. So is Brian Ross.

269 The killer of Robert Kennedy was a Pro-Palestinian terrorist.
