IF, AS THE NEW YORK TIMES ASSERTS with respect to the Tucson shootings, “it is legitimate to hold Republicans and particularly their most virulent supporters in the media responsible for the gale of anger that has produced the vast majority of these threats,” why isn’t it legitimate to hold the Democrats responsible for the acts of their most virulent supporters?

THE MEDIA misses a good opportunity to keep quiet. “What this moment [the Tucson shootings] does teach is that the media scolds have a clear agenda ... and will consistently miss opportunities to wisely keep quiet.
WE CAN BE FREE of the crooks and buffoons in goverment. “And if that isn’t enticing enough, imagine how being unable to take Social Security money to cover budget gaps would restrain Congressional spending.”

OH, MY: “[W]e've had some incidents where TSA authorities think that congresspeople should be treated like everybody else." - Rep. James Clyburn, D-SC.

Easily the most positive news I've heard about the TSA ....
ANOTHER EPISODE OF “THE FIREWALL” WITH BILL WHITTLE

SO MUCH FOR THE FIRST AND SECOND AMENDMENTS: Democrats move to limit guns, threatening language in shooting's wake.
WHITHER OBAMACARE FUNDING? “Democrat Earl Pomeroy's vote for the health care bill may have cost him his seat in Congress, but it also earned him a job on K Street.... The congressman is merely the latest lucky winner in the Great Health Care Cash-out, a tawdry spectacle that further sullies Washington's lobbying culture, and also demolishes President Obama's insistent claims that his health care push was a battle against the special interests.”
MEMORIAL SERVICES for those slain in Tucson begin tonight and continue tomorrow - and of course politicians will attend en masse. On the radio, I heard the question asked: “ What do you want to hear them say?”

My answer - nothing. I want to hear the sound of silence.
FROM THE EMAIL: Those who don’t learn history ....

"The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be
refilled,public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of
officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the
assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome
become bankrupt. People must again learn to work,
instead of living on public assistance."

- Cicero (55 BC)

... are compelled to relive it.
HEH. He’s a Democratic political operative. Just not a very good one.
AND THEY CLAIM Republicans are violent ....
