Hate Speech, Gabby Gifford and Democrat Hypocrisy

With the left falling all over  themselves trying to demonize Trump for his numerous off the cuff and non-politically correct comments, the left can not help itself railing against hate speech, even though it is so much the pot calling the kettle black. All one needs to do is look at the hateful and racist comments by Black Lives Matter, which is the only group in these contemporary times, who's real hate toward the white race and the police who's rhetoric has actually resulted in the shooting death of numerous police officers; just like slavery and eugenics,  real hate always comes from Democrats.

The Democrats' cry of Trump hate speech, has resulted in the left trying to lead us back to 2011when Democrats tried to reason that the wounding Rep Gabby Giffords and shooting deaths of 6 others by  a paranoid schizophrenic, was the result of political rhetoric by Sarah Palin, which they demonized as hate speech (apparently hoping that their trumping up of Sarah Palin hate speech was soundly debunked by facts of the case).  For one thing the murderer not only had a long standing hatred of Rep.Giffords, but also President Bush (43). The point being that the hate speech against President Bush while in office was legendary in it's vitriol; Top 10 Examples Of Liberal Hate 
(5) Bush Derangement Syndrome: Before it fades into history, the liberal hatred of President Bush should be recalled. Codepink, Michael Moore, rap stars and Hollywood comedians hurled vitriol against the President. A movie was made about his assassination. But as an example of violent rhetoric, special attention should be given to remarks made by New York State Comptroller Alan Hevesi, who later apologized for describing fellow Democrat Sen. Charles Schumer as “the man who, how do I phrase this diplomatically, who will put a bullet between the President’s eyes if he could get away with it.”

 
The idea that any political rhetoric led to the shooting of Gabby Gifford is in itself hate speech by the left. The truth is the murderer of 6 people, that also shot Gifford was a paranoid schizophrenic who had threatened to kill Gifford 4 years prior the the shooting and of course well before Sarah Palin's political rhetoric. Further the same murderer also killed judge John Roll (nominated by President George H.W. Bush), a individual liberty/ limited government (Constitutional Liberal) that was often compared to Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. This placed Judge Roll in direct opposition to the Obama Juggernaut, as he had already forced the rewriting of a far less intrusive Brady Bill than originally written (weakening the federal DOJ bullying for states to conform to the Brady Bill) and had already given a 'preliminary ruling' against a case that would have permitted Holder's Federal DOJ to seize citizens' assets without cause. Judge Roll has also received many death threats, usually from the left, which led to the belief by many that Roll was just as possible a target of the shooter as Gifford. Was Judge John Roll the actual target of the Giffords' shooting?
 
Perhaps those making that charge have forgotten the hatefulness and violent words coming from their own. Top 10 Examples Of Liberal Hate
"(1) Palin Derangement Syndrome: The Left’s obsessive hatred of Sarah Palin is well-chronicled and is often accompanied by violent rhetoric. Let these three examples suffice: (1) Keith Halloran, a New Hampshire Democratic candidate, said on a Facebook thread that he wished Palin had been aboard the Alaska plane that crashed, killing five including Sen. Ted Stevens; (2) Another New Hampshire Democrat, Timothy Horrigan resigned from the state legislature after writing this gem on Facebook: “Well a dead Palin wd be even more dangerous than a live one.. . . she is all about her myth & if she was dead she cldn’t commit any more gaffes”; and (3) foul-mouthed comedian Sandra Bernhard warned Palin she would be “gang-raped by my big black brothers” if she tried coming to New York."

Let's Take a Timeout to Bury Our Dead

The below letter to the editor appeared in the Santa Cruz Sentinel on January 11, 2011. It is typical of the hatred, vitriol and toxic rhetoric that the left is so quick to blame the right for (there was also an onslaught of letters and blogs wishing Sarah Palin had been shot instead) . Further, it serves not to enlighten, but to continue an onslaught of hate and personal attacks against a public figure that is at worst a political hack. While I find Sarah Palin grinding to listen to, I have never been able to understand what it is about her that gets the left so unhinged. Gordon Salisbury letter below contains no solace or even recognition of the pain our nation is feeling by the loss of a public figure taken by a mad man; it only serves to perpetrate hate. Ms Salisbury is so hateful, she dares tell us that any public display of condolences by Sarah Palin in regards to Gabrielle Giffords as self serving, then browbeats Sarah Palin for the unlikelihood of her not attending any of the funerals. Again, this is typical of the left becoming irrational and unhinged anytime the name Sarah Palin is mentioned. Let's take at timeout on this banter so we can bury our dead.

Palin's condolences self serving, disgusting.

It was disgusting to read Sarah Palin's unsolicited, self serving offer of condolences to Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and her family. The assailant was apparently a deranged young man angry at the government. No person has done more than Palin to foster ignorance, hatred and reverence for guns and bullets in out culture. Her pestilence was unleashed on our nation by Arizona's own Sen McCain. I'm sure the maverick senator would find a way to clear his calender for a funeral or two. I'll bet Palin is too busy. Gordon Salisbury

This is my response,a shorter version of my previous blog article, Politcal Hack Krugman Says Never Mind the Facts.

Stop blaming the right

Reading Gordon Salisberry's letter blaming Sarah Palin for the six murders and attempted assassination of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, one has to wonder how the left could have so much hate that they would use this horrible tragedy to try and score political points. The truth is no one knows why a psychotic like Jared Loughner would do anything. What is known is Loughner has been obsessed with Giffords since 2007, long before any of the political rhetoric by Sarah Palin. But that hasn't stopped the likes of Paul Krugman and others on the left to hope and pray, not for peace for the families, but that they can use this to their political advantage. From krugmaniswrong.com, "The Arizona shooter was an anti-Semitic, Marxist, atheist, left-wing anarchist, yet somehow the liberal establishment says the right wing media is still at fault."

Liberals put Rep. Gabrielle Giffords in their “sights” long before Sarah Palin

The left has been up in arms implying that map by Sarah Palin showing targeted states and legislatures (including Gabrielle Giffords) for the 2010 election was provocation for her attempted assassination. But in an informative article by Drew Zahn, of the Worldnetdaily Look Who Else Put 'Bull's-eye' on Giffords, Zahn points out the due to Giffords yes vote on a 2008 deregulation bill back by AT&T, the Daily KOS founder, Markos Moulitsas, placed Giffords on his “target list.”

In a 2008 Daily Kos post, Moulitsas listed Giffords as one of dozens of representatives with "a bull's-eye on their district" for being a "bad apple" Democrat.” Further there is the Democrats 2004 Targeting map, which looks identical to Palin's map



The Daily KOS also posted a one of the blog's diary writers, identifying himself as "BoyBlue", berating Gifford saying she is “now dead to me.” The post was dated Jan 6, 2011 and was removed after Gifford’s shooting.

“Today, just a little while ago, I saw on Andrea Mitchell Reports that Giffords voted against Nancy Pelosi as our minority leader. … Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords is dead to me now.”

After the shooting "BoyBlue" left this rambling accusatory post after apologizing for his previous post.

“However, I have to offer a heartfelt 'f--- you' to the right-wing blogs," he writes, "for even mentioning my username here in any connection to that unspeakable and unthinkable horror."

Sorry BlueBoy, but you can't put the smoke back in the box just by sounding indignant.

By now the American people have become used to the hypocritical rantings of the left that have for years tried to paint the conservative right and Tea Party as violent with absolutely no evidence, when it has always been the left that has called out for violent revolution, including the murder and assassination of those had hinder their agenda. With typical liberal hyperbole they rant against that for which they are the most guilty, using revisionists history to try and hide their hypocrisy. But of all things it is the internet that has been their downfall; as it's hard to deny history when it's just a click away and staring you in the face.
