Congresswoman Giffords Targeted – Palin, Angle, Tea Baggers – Accesories before the FACT?

Melanie Nathan- Jan 08, 2011.  (Updated 1-09-10)  A terrible day for Democrats, Tucson, Arizona, and all of the USA. The shooting of Congress woman Gabrielle Giffords is unspeakable and as she lays in surgery barely clinging to life, and while a 21 year old is held in custody; with at least 5 others dead and more wounded, we can only provide some provocative and persuasive conjecture.

An indictment upon “Second amendment remedies” for a gun toting Arizona.   SarahPAC ‘s solution immortalized – in a PDF version -will she stand with her rhetoric -  self-righteous incitement of murder?  Maybe too soon to diagnose – but thanks Palin et al  for the stormy CLIMATE- the “Perfect Storm”       Palin dare NOT come out and say she is sorry about the shooting of AZ Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and twelve others.

Coincidence? As the Republicans waste the time of the Country and the coffers of the tax payer to  try to change Healthcare reform – at all and any costs.

Melanie Nathan, January 09-2011- Revisionism dies with Twitter and Facebook captures of hate and incitement;  the evidence is all there and the FBI should not leave this stone unturned.

LezGetReal wrote a piece earlier Sunday,  by Bridgette P. LaVictoire, Sarah Palin, Tea Party, Right Wing Trying To Run From Rhetoric, AZ Shooting – “In the wake of the Arizona shooting deaths of six, there has been a lot made about the motives of Jared Lee Loughner, the alleged shooter, and a lot of people pushing back against the anger that is coming from people directed towards the Right over their rhetoric.” Also critically injured in the shooting is Congresswoman Gaby Giffords.  (Gabrielle Giffords- D-AZ)

When people in the media-eye speak on controversial and inflammatory issues and attach gun-like symbols and metaphoric language to the argument – using words like “bulls eye” and “target” – how do they expect people on the fringe -  the  lose-cannon- crazy people to react?

License via freedom of speech does not derogate from ‘responsibility of speech.’  Sarah Palin was a vice presidential candidate who was chosen by the Arizona Senator, John McCain – Clearly that very ‘legitimacy’ – exacerbates  the responsibility.

When people speak Palin talk, further evidenced by the Twitter capture from Palin’s twitter account, they cannot change what they have done nor hide behind their revisionism.   This graphic below shows that no matter how much Palin and Gang try to escape the truth it is embedded in every twitter, You-Tube and Facebook capture.  When people on the fringe enter the milieu of hate and rhetoric, fueled by incitement, tantamount to a finger on the red button,  they cannot erase the history  such as that which led to yesterday’s massacre, because we the watchers will hold them accountable.

Palin’s rhetoric and those who follow, are fueling homegrown terrorism of  Oklahoma proposrtions. This could be perceived as an invitation to a civil war of ideas having translated from twitter violence into street violence such as what we saw yesterday.

Sadly it has taken the lives of six human beings to bring this message. We cannot tolerate any more rhetoric that kills and we all saw it coming.   We as a nation must stand up to Palin type gangsterism – and while there is potential for retaliation that could lead to more violence, the Obama administration must look further into the tentacles of the rhetoric and where it has led.

Today the FBI in a Press Conference said they do not perceive any further threats out there. But they are dead wrong- as long as the hate remains unattended – (damage done)  and as long as the rhetoric continues (damage to be done) – there is a danger presented by every single person on the fringes of sanity.

Look at the message from Palin below; and note that now that number 19 is down – whats about her target number 20?

If Domestic Terrorism charges are filed the FBI must look into all that lead up to this attack – and that would include the above compelling evidence of incitement.  Ms. Palin attempted to remove all visible evidence – but bloggers and others have had these captured images stored on hard drives for months, aware that a tragedy like this was bound to happen.

After all 2 +2 = 4!
