After years of demonizing the left with every form of vitriol

[randr]

the right gets their collective panties in a wad over being accused of the obvious. The fact is, most of America drew the same conclusion almost immediately. Even Right wing pundits knew what was coming. The veiled violence from the right is inflaming our political process and our constitutional right for peaceful assembly is being denied by the language and actions of right wing thugs.

1. Amen!

Short, sweet, simple, and to the point. Many thanks!

[liberal N proud]

2. Even some in the media came to the same conclusion

[emulatorloo]

3. Panties aren't in a wad: They are in major DAMAGE CONTROL mode.

They are putting out as much disinformation as they can. It seems like a fairly well coordinated plan.

[randr]

4. So their panties are always in a wad?

[emulatorloo]

9. No. OTOH I think in general that 99% of their outrage is fake

- they use the fake outrage to promote political goals. Ex: DEATH PANELS!

So this is similar, they are OUTRAGED than anyone would connect their violent rhetoric against Democratic politicians to violence against a Democratic politician.

[tridim]

11. Which probably means they had a plan devised well in advance.

THAT speaks volumes about their party.

Their radio/TV wing got exactly what they wanted with this shooting. They knew it was coming. That is fucking sick.

[emulatorloo]

13. Not necessarily, Throw together a few talking points, and fax it far and wide.

[Fleshdancer]

5. I am outraged over their outrage.

Heaven forbid Democrats get pissed over one of our own taking a bullet through the head!!! Now the other side is claiming we're the problem? These people are sick.

[emulatorloo]

10. "I am outraged that you would connect my violent rhretoric againt Democrats with a violent attack on

a Democrat."

6. The specific talk we should be centered around are the kill words:

kill, shoot, eliminate, 2nd Amendment solution. Don't allow the pundits to frame this in a general way.

[Poboy]

7. The talking points are to blame Dems for this too!

"With Barney Frank saying he'd rather talk to furniture, than to talk to the tea partiers at town halls, its no wonder people are pissed off!"

What the fuck.

[unblock]

12. in barney's defense,

he said he wasn't interested in talking to furniture either.


but to the right wing, tolerating the existence of a homosexual is every bit as violent and extreme as murder.
i mean it's really just a policy difference, right?

:wtf:

[Poboy]

17. There is no need for defense of Frank on this.

Its a fucking desperate, irrelevent, out of left field line of crap meant to misdirect and conflate. Its fucking infuriating.
Lets blame this on the gay dude through some manufactured connection.

[devilgrrl]

8. There are some on DU who would dispute that - they think the left is just as bad.

Despite not being able provide one credible shred of evidence to prove their assertions.

[nashville_brook]

14. you are quite correct.

and it's really disheartening.

[EstimatedProphet]

15. Yes, there are freepers everywhere it seems

[nashville_brook]

16. couldn't agree more.
