Some Tea Baggers Are Domestic Terrorists

The mood of right-wing Americans has turned hysterical, ugly and violent, with the help of fearmongering TV and radio pundits and Republican lawmakers. And Sarah Palin, the half-term Governor of Alaska, Fox News contributor and soon to be reality TV star,  has decided she won’t be left out of the right-wing armed and dangerous crowd, using violent infused rhetoric and apocalyptic falsehoods. On Twitter, Palin tweeted an inflammatory call to action for her followers to “reload” in their battle against Democrats and health care reform. Her tweets led her followers to her Face book page, which contained an image of a map of the U.S., showing bullseye crosshairs on the state districts of targeted Democratic lawmakers who voted for the bill. She then urges her followers to contribute cash to her SarahPac, in a first “salvo” in the battle to defeat Democrats.


Republican lawmakers were whipping groups of confused and angry teapartiers into frenzied mobs, with falsehoods and inflammatory speech. Even while the House was in session, some Republican lawmakers were seen on the Capitol building balcony waving “kill the bill” signs to the chanting tea party protesters in the streets below, after the day before, teapartiers abused, spat and hurled racial and bigoted slurs towards Democratic lawmakers.


Republican Representatives Steve King (R-IA), Michelle Bachmann (R-MN) and Louie Gohmert (R-TX), you remember Louie Gohmert the Terror Baby Conspiracy Advocate, were all busy whipping the tea baggers into a wild frenzy.   
If this didn't get you attention, the Fox New$ Channels would parade all their crazy friends and their crazy rhetoric to incite the "believers" even more.

                                           

 Rep. Gabrielle Giffords calls on Sarah Palin to remove Cross hairs Ads.














Sheriff Clarence Dupnik



Addressing the tragedy at a news conference, the sheriff said that law enforcement had reason to believe that Giffords was specifically targeted in the attack. He added that evidence suggests one suspect -- 22-year-old Jared Loughner, who is already in custody -- likely did not act alone.
"When you look at unbalanced people, how they respond to the vitriol that comes out of certain mouths about tearing down the government. The anger, the hatred, the bigotry that goes on in this country is getting to be outrageous," said the sheriff. "And unfortunately, Arizona I think has become sort of the capital. We have become the mecca for prejudice and bigotry."
When asked by a reporter if Giffords being shot could have been motivated by "prejudice and bigotry," Dupnik responded, "All I can tell you is that there's reason to believe that this individual may have a mental issue. And I think that people who are unbalanced are especially susceptible to vitriol.


One thing is abundantly clear, in the United States the Political Parties, the news Media and Pundits & Lobbyists must be very careful whom they pander to and incite. Mentally ill individuals take their words as gospel and believe it is their duties to correct the wrongs these people are ranting about. Why did Sarah Palin refused to take the cross hairs on these Democratic politicians when she was warned that trouble could ensue.Whatever her reasons were she hold some of the responsibility for what has happened.
This morning Gabrielle Gifford who was shot point blank through the brain remains in critical condition and in a medical induced coma. Her family has remained with her through out the night.
Innocent 9 years old  Christina Green was also gunned down and died. Four other victims remain in critical condition, five victims remain in serious condition. Dorothy Morris 76, Dorwin Shoddard 76, Phyllis Schneck 79 were listed among the fatalities.
