Yes! You can't continually spout off about the violent overthrow of the government and NOT think that someone who is mentally unable to recognize rhetoric is NOT going to see it as a realistic call to arms.
It's more than fair. Conservative spent the past decade blaming everything on Bill Clinton and some of them still do to this day.
Liberals never used a public forum to threaten to overthrow a government, declare themselves sovereign citizens or other crazy stuff that would be considered treason talk by a sane person.
It's time to not only tone things down but hold those accountable.
Palin has blood on her hands, and she knows it.
Yes. Vtirol and hate = violence
Yes.
Yes, Palin is part of what contributed to creating the downward spiral that made this guy think he was being rational.
The other contributers are the Tea Party, MSM, Gun-culture, and the folks that saw this kid going slowly into a dark psychotic space and doing very little to help him. Mental illness is a very real thing.
I would say yes. She's always using propaganda and cross hairs on her website to show who she was targeting.
Yes. I'll quote others for this:
Sarah Palin rummages online frantically erasing her rabble-rousing Tweets like a Stalinist trimming non-persons out of photos. - Roger Ebert
I'll say this, if your first instinct after hearing about a tragedy is to scrub yr websites, you have a problem as a political movement. - digby56
Absofuckinglutely.
It's fair!
Absolutely. She and everyone who uses that violent imagery has blood on their hands. They knew what they are doing and did it on purpose and are not sitting back playing the victims.
To exclusively blame them, no V that wouldn't be right at all. That would be a gross simplification. Is she responsible for the things she implies as a figure in the media? Most certainly. She knows that though. I'm sure her spin doctors are working full force to get her out of this tempest.
Yep. Playing it by their rules. So often, they speak about corrupt American Morals, or our deplorable culture.
Had there been even the slightest link to hip hop, or video games... they'd do a special report on it.
But when it comes full circle, to their gun right advocacy, hate speech, or plenty of evidence on their blogs & twitters... they need to be held accountable. Yes, we have free speech. But we need to be taken to task when one talks like Hitler.
