Home Grown Terrorist: Republican / Tea Party Movement.

Nonsense. The fringes of the left (from where yesterday's mass murdering lunatic seems to have come from) are just as unacceptable as the fringes of the right. I'm personally sick of the jabbering of BOTH !!!

Hold on there Rodney!

First of all let me clarify that my politics are pretty much weighted to the left of center. That being said, I want you to know I take extreme exception to the careless and sloppy method used in your hastily posted, inaccurate, mini- article.

In the first place, you posted your comments almost 12 hours after the tragic event, yet you still obviously had not followed up on the facts contained in the copious news reports about what happened.

As we all now know, the Congresswoman did survive the gunshot. By 2:06 PM (EST) I had posted; 3rd UPDATE!!: Congresswoman Gifford Seriously Wounded and in Surgery from Tucson, AZ Shooting! in comment #4 in the thread for that article, I reported that at 2:58 PM, a hospital spokesperson confirmed Rep. Gifford was in surgery, and was expected to survive. I posted that report 4 minutes later at 3:02 PM.

So, Rodney, how is it that at 1:07AM Sunday, 10 hours later, you posted a comment that a Congressperson has died?

More important than that, why is it you were so quick to blame this event on the Republicans, the Tea Party and the Klu Klux Clan? Don't you realize that by doing that you are acting exactly like the Right Wing Fringnuts, who regularly blast out blame without thinking?!

The fact of the matter are that this whacko was an avowed left Winger, he had worked for Gifford,and he is a regular contributor to the DAILY KOS. The landmark of Left Wingnut rantings.

btw, regarding your statement "The tea-party motive and goals, from there growing actions appears to be much larger than this action." in addition to being inaccurate in context and meaning, "there" as used in this sentence is spelled "their".

Also, it's common practice to capitalize American, even when it is being used in the term "American politics".

While I disgree with putting them on a homegrown terrorist list, they have done more than enough fanning of the flames to cause some of the violence going on.

Jerry, since he adored Hitler I would say that hate was a clear motivation...one thing I didn´t know was that Giffords is Jewish.

The right is not fringe, just backwards, slow, racist, cowards that insights violence and division through force. Cowards that don't play fear, the win at any and all cost.

Flattery will get you nowhere Rodney

Rodney, my oops. At first I thought you were going to impune the "rev Al Sharpton" for being responsible for the killing of 2 jews and torching their store in new york. Then I realized, WAIT, sharpton is black and 'they' were jews. His inflammatory rhetoric that started the riot must, then, be O.K. Don't you agree?

Don't try to blame Democrats for spreading hate. That is a definition from the "Republican Party and Tea Baggers." The only message that comes out of their mouth is let's get them, Obama was portrayed as communist and terrorist before he got elected, lies and lies to incite fear...shame on GOPs to start all this...Don't get confused with the parties...

But make no mistake, we are and will never be in fear of racist, wicked, dumb, backward leaning fools.

Stop laying all the blame at the feet of the liberals

I can't wait until the Rod pushes to ban Mein Kampf and the Communist Manifesto-maybe not in my lifetime. That would be taking a REAL stand instead of his plastic posturing.

Yes republican party and the tea-party is the cause for those death! Yes the republican party and the tea-party are attempting to wash there hands clean of this blood shed.

and Yoda said to Luke..."So certain are you"

Idiotic is when the republican party and the tea-party work in concert to plant the seed of hate into the mines of there members,

The last time the seeds of hate we're planted into the mines of there members..The Mine collapsed

Disregarding the lousy grammar, the Rod almost sounds like the shooter.

Wait a minute! Please don't say both parties, one party is more likely. I don't see these "hate" speeches coming from both sides. I agree that this person who committed these crimes is unhinged and obviously have mental problems, however, people like these are often called by something, somebody or an ideology. All we need is some people to say hate and approve hate and gun revenge to lead these people to deadly outcomes. The GOP party has to take responsibility and stop extreme views and violence acceptance. It is too late to start trying to blame the other side.

The shooter is obviously a mentally ill person, the problem with that is that the media that advocates "hate" speeches may incite a "hate" mood that may in turn give an unhinged person the "reason" (in their minds) to kill. Yes, we can't blame any of the people like Sarah Palin, O'Reilly, Glenn Beck and others for these shootings, however, saying things like "reloading", "Focus on some government people", "the communists are taking over", "terrorists and aliens live in the white house", "antichrists are ruling over America..." and other silly things may be silly to me but so true to the mentally ill. We have to take responsibility on what we say and do and not try to shy away from the truth...

The Teapublican Party was bought and paid for by the corporate oligarchs: the Koch Brothers.

If you ask me, based on what I have observed in my lifetime, the middle class died during the reagan administration.

When poverty level is double minimum wage, what we call middle class today, is what we use to call the lower class. what we use to call lower upper or upper middle is now upper lower class or the working class(indentured servitude at it's best)

I couldn't agree with you more. The Republicanan party has removed the middle class of Americans. The class that traditionally was the backbone that neld the country together. Now that they successfully have destroyed that segment of life I guess it falls to the rich to support everyone else, because no one else has money. Rich folks; did your parents ever tell you that if your wish was to have all the money in the world it would make you poor, because no one would have money to buy your goods. Congradualations dummys now other countries are buying us out and they are the new rich, the new leaders of our country.
