It's been an interesting week in partisan politics in America.
Over the weekend there was a horrible shooting committed by a deranged lunatic who apparently had a strange obsession with a congresswoman for at least 3 years. The victims of this horrific shooting included a 9 year old little girl.
Within minutes of the shooting, I was astonished to witness virtually the entire Democratic Party - from their politicians, to their mainstream media outlets (such as Paul Krugman of the NY Times), on down to the rank and file - queerly and sickly attempting to blame the incident on, generally, the Tea Party, and, most specifically, Sarah Palin.
From those first minutes after the shooting, and for days afterwards, these Democrats were attempting to say that Americans need to censor themselves, or be censored by the government, in order to "tone down" their rhetoric. They need to be pressured to watch what they say, because the rhetoric from the Tea Party movement and its sympathizers has now caused someone to murder people. They claimed that the Tea Party movement and Sarah Palin now have "blood on their hands".
I shouldn't have been astonished. It has been a propaganda tactic, talking point, and obsessively-pushed theme for a long time from the Left that the Tea Party movement is on the brink of violence. That its membership is a bunch of racist terrorists who are trying to incite political violence. They have actually invented racial incidents out of thin air in order to smear Tea Party events, because they are frustrated they have no real evience to back up their prejudices against ordinary Americans.
And each and every time something happens (Times Square bombing, death of a Kentucky census worker, etc etc etc), they instantly leap to say that the Tea Partiers are guilty.
And in each and every case, the Tea Party has been guilty of nothing. The only thing the Tea Party has ever been guilty of is providing an outlet for average Americans to voice their disapproval at things going on in their government.
But no matter how many times they make total fools of themselves, the Democrats and Leftists refuse to give up this despicable smear tactic.
This latest attempt to incriminate the Tea Partiers has been exposed as having absolutely zero basis in fact, yet I see no apologies from these scummy Democrats. Instead, they are now actually attacking Sarah Palin again, for responding to their disgraceful attempt to politicize this tragedy. She is trying to "make this all about her". No, you asswipes, YOU tried to make this about her, and she is calling you out for your reprehensible tactics. And she is CORRECT.
Her response was right-on:

A hardcore partisan Democrat sheriff in Arizona joined the mob of laughable Democrats trying to pin this on the Tea Party movement. On top of this sheriff being 100% in error, it turns out that had the sheriff actually been doing his job he probably could have stopped this lunatic from committing this mass murder in the first place.
No, the lunatic shooter had nothing to do with Sarah Palin, the Tea Party movement, Rush Limbaugh, etc etc. He did happen to be someone into left-wing punk rock bands such as Anti-Flag, as well as anti-American 9/11 conspiracy documentaries such as Loose Change. But mostly he was just a nut who should have been in a mental institution long ago.
What is most disturbing about the Democrats' scummy partisan political reaction to this tragic shooting is that MAINSTREAM Leftists and Democrats have once again revealed their contempt for one of the primary principles behind the whole idea of AMERICA. That is, freedom of speech. They don't like what Tea Partiers have to say about health care legislation, so they become obsessed with trying to smear average Americans, who dare to voice concerns about their government, as "dangerous". And to tell them that if they don't watch what they say they will actually cause people to DIE!
I was relieved to see that President Obama's remarks about this incident were far better than most of what we saw from his party.
Most of what I saw from Democrats and the American Left was nothing short of an anti-American assault on our First Amendment and most Americans' core values. They should be ashamed of themselves.
I now have one more reason to reject voting for a Democrat in the near future.
