Tucson

With all the accusations being leveled a Sarah Palin, I feel it’s necessary to remind some people about some facts. Have you forgotten the violent rhetoric of the past 8 years?

Facebook groups calling for the murder of George Bush, Dick Cheney, and Sarah Palin. Slogans such as “Kill Bush” and “Abort Sarah Palin”. A movie called “Death of a President” depicting the assassination of a sitting President, George Bush. Celebrities such as Gore Vidal lamenting that he didn’t murder Bush. Madonna screaming on stage that she wants to ”kick Sarah Palin’s a--” and Sandra Bernhard on stage hoping that Sarah Palin gets gang-raped. And I can’t even begin to list the disgusting and graphic protest signs, posters and internet games produced during Bush’s presidency.

All of these things were glossed over or made light of by the media. When conservatives were appalled and called for apologies we were told to “lighten up” and “it’s Free Speech”.

Now, all of the sudden, it’s the Right that is responsible for all the violent rhetoric? Now the Left is trying to blame Glen Beck, Rush Limbaugh, and Sarah Palin.

The shooting in Tucson is a tragedy, but the only one responsible is Jared Loughner
