It's amusing in a sad way to see Newt and the lot of them lashing out, like cornered rabid rats.

2. It is making them mad
I fear what they will do to regain that control.

3. Indeed.
The mad Scientist giddily yelled "It's alive!" until he realized that it was indeed, alive.


Indeed.

5. they don't give a flying f*** about Gabrielle or the other victims
they're hysterical over how it damages their political lives and since they've relied on lies and implied violence and upheaval for some time now, I'd have to say it's affecting them a LOT

15. Seems to be pure set-up to make it look like Dems are after her
No mention of the child murdered, no mention of any of the 20 victims for that matter. Just how it's horrible that politicos are capitalizing on the tragedy.


http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-20028020-503544.html

Beck said he wrote to Palin urging her to look into security measures in the wake of the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and others because "there are nutjobs on all sides." He told listeners he gave the former Alaska governor the name of the security firm he uses.

"Sarah, as you know, peace is always the answer. I know you are felling the same heat, if not much more on this," Beck said he wrote.

"I hate violence," Beck quotes Palin as having responded. "I hate war. Our children will not have peace if politicos just capitalize on this."

During the program, Beck decried suggestions that certain conservative commentators - including himself, Palin and Rush Limbaugh - have increased the risk of violence against lawmakers through inflammatory rhetoric.

"And I (Glenn Beck) will make sure they won't"

9. I expect that they have been trying to dig up dirt on that Sheriff.
It's already been mentioned that he's a liberal.

11. "War" has made those mofos LOTS of money


so they figured they'd bring some "War" imagery here and play with it. They've been giddily waving their guns around, talking about "enemies," putting out hit lists, spreading lies and hate about their opponents, disrupting the political process, carrying arms to political rallies, just JUBILANT that they had their base all pumped up to "fight" this all-consuming "War" against Obama and health care reform and anything else they deem a "target."


But none of the blowhards - from Oxybag to Bloody Beck - knows anything about war.

You can't contain REAL wars once they start.

You can tell your troops "don't shoot yet" but all it takes is one first shot.

And RADIORWANDA -aka - American media - have played too fast and loose with their war imagery.

Most Americans are disgusted. And most of them are smart enough to realize that the only acceptable response today is condolence and sympathy, not defensive blather and projection.

They FAIL

12. The narrative isn't too out of hand for them. Idiots supposedly on the left
are breaking their necks to diffuse accountability right along with the corporate media.

Not much will stick, we'll see to it.

17. Unfortunately, they look like they're controlling it pretty well...
Most of the lies and misinformation they've been spreading for the last 3 days are what their weak-minded constituency will accept as truth for the rest of their lives.
