Bill Clinton Says Republicans Must Tone Down the Political Rhetoric

Republicans to tone down the political and hateful rhetoric? Liberal Democrats should look at the mirror more often.............

(BBC) Former President Bill Clinton has told the BBC the US political climate must change after the shooting of a US Congresswoman and others in Arizona.

"No-one intends to do anything that encourages this sort of behaviour," he said. But political rhetoric "falls on the unhinged and the hinged alike".

Some commentators suggest the vitriolic political rhetoric in the US may have contributed in some way to the attack.

Speaking on a trip to Haiti, Mr Clinton called on the US House of Representatives to "lead the way" in toning down the political discourse.

"We cannot be unaware of the fact that - particularly with the internet - there's this huge echo chamber out there," he said.

"This is an occasion for us to reaffirm that our political differences shouldn't degenerate into demonisation, in the sense that if you don't agree with me you're not a good American.

"I'm hoping there will be a lot of good debates that go beyond turning this into politics... about how and why it happened and what else we can do to minimise those things."

Obama Should be Blamed for Inciting Violence in America

Overall, Conservatives hold a high moral standard. However, Democrats revel in conducting that is unjust and shameful, which is contrary to justice, modesty, or good morals. It is why Republicans set the example when a member of the GOP displays an act of moral turpitude. This is not the same among Democrats. It is disengenous when the MSM purport Republican incite violence. If Republicans did incite violence, they must be taking the cue from Barack Obama. The president has been known to use ugly rhetoric to incite the Democrat base.

For instance:

Obama: “If They Bring a Knife, We Bring a Gun”

Obama to the Press: Cambridge police acted stupidly

Obama to lib supporters: “It’s time to Fight for it.”

Obama on ACORN Mobs: “I don’t want to quell anger. I think people are right to be angry! I’m angry!”

Obama on the private sector: “I want to know whose ass to kick.“

Obama to warns voters: A Republican take-over would mean “hand to hand combat”


Obama to Latino supporters: “Punish your enemies.”

Obama to democrats: “I’m itching for a fight.”

Obama at a fundraiser: "Republicans can come for the ride, but they gotta sit in back."

Obama to his supporters: “Hit Back Twice As Hard”

Therefore, the person responsible acting as a role model to incite violence because of race, creed, color, religion, national origin, sex, age or disability should be the person at the top and that is Obama.

Unlike the Fort Hood Massacre Idiots can Make Accusations because the Arizona Shooter isn't a Muslim

Since the media identified the shooter, who tried to assassinate Congresswoman Giffords, is not a Muslim, it is an all out media frenzy to make accusations and blame people without justifiable proof. Also, some of the accusations are way off base. To blame Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Palin, and the Tea Party Movement has as much claim as to blame Satan, the Easter Bunny, or Santa Claus. I can recall the Fort Hood Massacre as Obama tells the media not to jump into conclusions because the accused is a Muslim. However, this is not the case with the Arizona massacre. That doesn't count.

(ABC NEWS) The Arizona sheriff investigating the Tucson shooting that left U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords critically wounded had harsh words today for those engaging in political rhetoric, calling conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh "irresponsible" for continuing the vitriol.

Limbaugh today railed against the media and Dupnik for trying to draw a link between the heated political climate and the shooting rampage, calling the sheriff a "fool." But Dupnik stood by his assertions.

Investigators have yet to determine what motivated 22-year-old Jared Lee Loughner, described by some as appearing to be mentally unstable, to allegedly open fire on the crowd outside the Tucson Safeway. However, so far there is no evidence that he has any ties to any political group.

Never Allow a Good Crisis Go To Waste with the Arizona Massacre

Well it didn't take long for the gun control freaks to come out from the woodwork. To never allow a crisis go to waste, Liberals are using the Arizona massacre to support their own personal agenda. It is horrific and disingenuous. I don't ever recall a law abiding citizen with a conceal gun permit killing an innocent person. If Congresswoman McCarthy's husband had a gun on him, he would be alive today. Gun control will only prevent normal citizens to purchase a gun. It will not stop the bad guys from getting it.

(Politico) – One of the fiercest gun-control advocates in Congress, Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-N.Y.), pounced on the shooting massacre in Tucson Sunday, promising to introduce legislation as soon as Monday.

McCarthy ran for Congress after her husband was gunned down and her son seriously injured in a shooting in 1993 on a Long Island commuter train.

“My staff is working on looking at the different legislation fixes that we might be able to do and we might be able to introduce as early as tomorrow,” McCarthy told POLITICO in a Sunday afternoon phone interview.

Gun control activists cried it was time to reform weapons laws in the United States, almost immediately after a gunman killed six and injured 14 more, including Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, in Arizona on Saturday.

The Associated Press is Linking Blame on Congresswoman Giffords Gun Shot to Sarah Palin

In an Associated Press release of Congresswoman Giffords assassination attempt, the news organization has mentioned Sarah Palin 4 times in the article. Whether the news organization was trying to pin the shooting on Sarah Palin or not, it has brought the wack-jobs from Hollywood to blame this on Palin and other conservative talk show personalities. Jan Fonda is the first moron to come out and blame Palin and the Tea Party Movement for the shooting. Also, Jan Fonda blames Glenn Beck for the Arizona Massacre.

Giffords has drawn the ire of the right in the last year, especially from politicians like Sarah Palin over her support of the health care bill.

Her Tucson office was vandalized a few hours after the House voted to approve the health care law in March, with someone either kicking or shooting out a glass door and window. In an interview after the vandalism, Giffords referred to the animosity against her by conservatives. Palin listed Giffords’ seat as one of the top “targets” in the midterm elections because of the lawmakers’ support for the health care law.

“For example, we’re on Sarah Palin‘s targeted list, but the thing is, that the way that she has it depicted has the crosshairs of a gun sight over our district. When people do that, they have to realize that there are consequences to that action,” Giffords said in an interview with MSNBC.

In the hours after the shooting, Palin issued a statement in which she expressed her “sincere condolences” to the family of Giffords and the other victims.
