OK, so we can all agree it’s pukingly hilarious that a bunch of lefties immediately blamed Sarah Palin for the shooting of a politician and several innocent bystanders… by a deranged lefty.
And it’s no surprise that the same media who urged us to wait for all the facts when someone shouted “Allahu Akbar” before shooting the place up has immediately jumped to blame the Tea Party and Palin… again, for the actions of a deranged lefty.
And for Paul Krugman to denounce extremist rhetoric is… I don’t think there are words in the English language to describe such an act of complete unself-awareness. Again, this is in the wake of a shooting by… a deranged lefty.
And yes, of course it’s well-documented that most political violence comes from the left.
But really, at the end of the day, I just miss those halcyon days of 2004, when Bush was hung and burned in effigy and dissent was the highest form of patriotism.
UPDATE: I have to get back to productive work (if I blog too much, the terrorists win!) but I’d be remiss not to link this and this and, of course, this.
Phase 1: Sarah Palin publishes a map.
Phase 2: ???
Phase 3: Gunfire.
OK, ONE LAST UPDATE: A lot of people are calling the shooter a “left-wing pothead,” but it appears he had actually quit smoking and drinking — and then got a lot worse, culminating in the shooting. So let’s not chalk this all up to Reefer Madness, okay?

zombietime link not working, though I know that particular link well.. its a classic.
The reaction from the left is predictable and “pukingly hilarious” but every time something like this happens, there is the concern of, is it working? Are people (not already committed moonbats) actually drinking the kool aid?
Also, legislatively, you get a predictable torrent of anti-gun rhetoric after incidents like this. But now, we’re going after the 1st AND 2nd Amendment.
