GRACIE...you and Cologal should check out the New York Times which has long editorial today on Palin and how she is hiding out and talking to Beck. OR...this mornings front page of the New York Daily News showing pictures of Palin, Beck and Coulter and directly placing blame..OR have you watched CNN and Anderson Cooper who had Bill Maher on DIRECTLY correlating the shooting to ONLY right wingers.

Yes, the forum has not shown a pretty face in this thing, and I have posted a number of times saying it had nothing to do with any party and was a mentally unbalanced man..period....HOWEVER, in all fairness, the guns are truely aimed .

As I said in another post, this is a quote from the President of the United States in Philadelphia...

“If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun,” Obama said at a Philadelphia fundraiser Friday night. “Because from what I understand folks in Philly like a good brawl. I’ve seen Eagles fans.”

He was speaking of Republicans who will try and defeat him when he said that....was he responsible then for any violence, say the Black Panthers practicing thuggery at the polls ?

I say NO.....he had absolutely nothing to do with that...those words did not turn those people into thugs.

The point is this was the work of ONE man....what provoked him..I have no idea, nor does anyone on here nor the editors of those newspapers. We hear this crazy rhetoric about what causes stuff all the time...who caused all the other shootings that have occured in the political realm over the years ?

BUT...it must be noted that the comment that the media has NOT twisted this is not correct at all !!

The rhetoric is not the problem...the twisting of facts and the out of context articles and comments that are used to fill up the need for 24 hour news is what prompts so much of this. We now criticize MEDIA OUTLETS for being too left..too right, etc. The media..those who we trust to bring us information and nobody talks about that...I have brought this subject up here a number of times with no luck. The media is not REPORTING..they are MAKING the news anymore.

Don't be misled however, this tragedy is being used for political purposes !

PS: You might be interested in how that bastion of good grace and non confrontational talk, Mr. Keith Olbermann handled it on MSNBC....
