Sorry For poor video.
This Link is a little more nonpartisan
and less " Ah Ha " then how fox news tells it.

1. He was out of line

but I think I can understand where he is coming from but now he's given faux and the teabaggers the "proof" they need that the left is violent and they are not. Although if it had been a tea bagger yelling that, it would have been applauded most likely and they would not have been arrested.

2. And people wonder why the shooting;

Of a nobody prince of something triggered the first World War.

3. Geez. How unfortunate.

The poor person was probably still distraught. I'm sure that some allowances will be made, but what an awful thing to say.

[molly77]

14. Baggers are protected. How many neo nazi KKK groups have been

investigated. But anti war? Quakers? FBI will have you under surveillance. Fascists.

[Buzz Clik]

16. Death threats are frowned upon.

[Grassy Knoll]

4. Free country , But.....

WTF was a teabagger there to begin with if
it wasn't to stir the shit and bring up gun rights.

[maritimer]

5. Not to defend the comment BUT

Beck can talk about killing Michael Moore on TV- with his bare hands- and that's OK? No investigation, no FCC fine, no nada?

For cripe's sake there is a double standard when it comes to discourse in this nation and the right wing has had and will continue to have the favorable side of it, unless we put a stop to it now.

How to do that, I have no damned idea- and I'm not alone there.

6. +1. nt

12. Yeah, why isn't Palin arrested yet??

SHe can whine all she wants and probably didn't mean it. But I doubt that this guy means it too. He shouldn't have been arrested. Again failure of those who are mentally ill.

[Lint Head]

7. This is bound to happen when you shoot someone in the back.

[flamingdem]

10. good point! nt

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

8. But Beck, Palin and Limbaugh NOT arrested for inciting threats

and the media venerates them while criminalizing him.

[russspeakeasy]

11. This is the way it has been since ronnie raygun and will

probably remain until they are called out by the msm..Fat
chance.

9. I think he shouldn't have been participating in debates so soon after being traumatized.

He has to be going through a lot of anger and fear and shock from being a victim of a shooting massacre. He should be given a break and the media should not be exploiting these people by throwing them into the spotlight under emotional pressure to debate idiot gun nuts.

[earthbone]

15. right on,

that guy should not have been there.who's idea was that ?

[BrotherLove]

13. Anyone know exactly what the Tea Party person said?

[sunnystarr]

17. Yes this is what was reported ...

So it was inevitable that the conversation would eventually turn to politics. It did, toward the end, with Amanpour leading a discussion on a very touchy but obvious topic: gun control.

That's where the atmosphere turned tense. When Tucson Tea Party founder Trent Humphries rose to suggest that any conversation about gun control should be put off until after the funerals for all the victims, witnesses say Fuller became agitated. Two told KGUN9 News that finally, Fuller took a picture of Humphries, and said, "You're dead."

When State Rep. Terri Proud (R-Tucson) rose to explain and clarify current and proposed gun legislation in the state, several people groaned or booed her. One of those booing, according to several witnesses, was Fuller. Witnesses sitting near Fuller told KGUN9 News that Fuller was making them feel very uncomfortable.

The event wrapped up a short time later. Deputies then escorted Fuller from the room. As he was being led off, Fuller shouted loudly to the room at large. Several witnesses said that what they thought they heard him shout was, "You're all whores!"

18. Google Trent Humphries. He gave an interview to the Guardian claiming

Tea Party was the victim in Arizona shooting.

This does not excuse what the REAL victim said at the townhall. But it gives some background.

[AlbertCat]

19. rose to explain and clarify current and proposed gun legislation in the state,

Gun nuts do it again.

See, like religion, when the sacred gun is mentioned, all logic flies out the window.

"Our gun,
who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy name..."

Y'see... every individual is wholly responsible for his or hers own safely. No need for community or civics, just individuals walking around in bell jars...with a gun. It's the only way to be truly free.


Glenn Beck can do one of his little skits on National TV where he poisons Nancy Pelosi's wine.... but that's just for fun. That didn't involve the sacred gun.

20. It's all about protecting their ass

This guy had been shot in the knee after a traumatic attack. Being a bit emotional after that is to be expected, saying things they should not say is in no way surprising

But to a teabagger even mentioning this is probably seen as defending his actions.

Worse, they can use this (and already are) as an "example" of left wing violence, thus justifying their own previous violent rhetoric.

Because the important thing i snot stopping the violence as far as the tea baggers are concerned. It's making sure they can spin this to their advantage.

Gods I am getting sick of these people.
