The Republic shall fall….
Glenn Beck to Sarah Palin: “But please look into protection for your family. An attempt on you could bring the republic down.”
Wow.
The mug shot of Jared Lee Loughner has been released. It would appear that, prior to the assassination attempt, he shaved his head. Prior photos showed him with a head of full curly hair, and then a nicely trimmed head of hair. Is he a skinhead? Maybe, given the association of that white supremacist group, but we don’t know that for sure yet. To me, the more important aspect of this photo is the eyes and smile. Crazy, evil, or both?
This is what we call an Admission.
“I told all of our guys, shut up, tone it down, make your argument intellectually. You don’t have to do it with bombast. I hope the other side does that.” — Fox News Chairman Roger Ailes, in an interview with Global Grind, seemingly admitting that his various collection of “news” anchors have engaged in violent […]

Via TPM: “We can confirm that there was a threat against Senator Bennet’s office and that the FBI working with the Capitol Police have arrested the individual responsible for the threat.

Overreaction
Should Republicans and conservatives be shamed for their violent rhetoric? Sure. Should Sarah Palin be forever condemned until she, without excuse, apologizes for her hate speech and illustrations? Absolutely. Should it be outlawed? Of course not.
The Noise Machine Sputters
The furious spinning on the right isn’t taking hold in the discussion on the Giffords shooting.
This Year’s Eagles Season Was Like…
…an unexpected present. Some crazy doodad from the Brookstone catalog that you would never buy for yourself but when pressed, you admit to lusting after.
This Doesn’t Surprise Me
The whacked out pseudo-Christian Westboro Baptist Church plans to protest the funerals of the 6 people who were murdered yesterday during the assassination attempt on Rep. Gabby Giffords. Plus, Bill Colley on WGMD seems to prove our point about talk radio rhetoric.
Pumping Up The Volume
As our faithful readers are aware I have been warning that Somebody Is Going To Be Hurt for quite a while. What happened yesterday didn’t surprise me. I’d been expecting it. The fact that it happened in Arizona… again, not a surprise. What is surprising is how quickly everyone moved to define the shooter’s politics […]
