    I still say you know who the left fears the most in 2012 by looking at how they are acting now.

    It's all Sarah Palin hate. Seriously you'd think she was the actual shooter the way they are acting in regards to her.

    Of all the Republicans they fear her running in 2012 the most.

    Because she did far worse than kill Obama. She hurt him. And she intends to go on hurting him. She will leave him the way he left her; the way he left him--a failed candidate, a footnote in history. Buried alive....buried alive....

    Meh. The left has PDS, the right has ODS. All it really tells is that idiots don't favor one side.

    Isn't that amazing?

    She's one of the least electable potential candidates, but just the mention of her name makes them shit their pants.

    That's one of the things I love about her. Well, that and her MILFishness.

    I don't think you can really call it ODS. Obama really does suck as president.

    They said on the radio this morning that Congresswoman Giffords is responding very well and that she will most likely be able to return to office.

    I'd say that district is as safe as a someone under FBI investigation's is in New Orleans now.

    two things from a GMA interview with dude's friend:

    Gotta suck for the blame-gamers.

    Isn't that what Jenee said several pages back?

    Guess we're gonna need a law calling for control of speech in documentaries now.

    The sad thing is, like everything else in this world, there is some good in Zeitgist and it makes a lot of people think and it's turned some people's lives around for the better. But, then there are other people who are looking for an excuse to blame someone else for the sad predicament that is their lives and have to strike back at someone.

    The first time I heard about this two or three years ago, I knew it was only a matter of time before someone was hurt.

    It's okay. Chris Matthews has already concluded that it's Rush and Palins fault.

    There is a report on Fox that says Pima County Sheriff's Department will be releasing Loughner's prior arrest record.

    Dupnik is screwed.

    The hate began well before the 2000 election.

    One can point to the impeachment of Bill Clinton. Or the attacks on Reagan. Or the attacks on Carter or on Nixon's resignation.

    The conflict between left and right goes much further than your assertion.

    I would like more information on the number of death threats he made and why he wasn't locked up for any of them.

    Yeah, but there's something different about it now. Something more visceral or personal. Ronald Reagan and Tip O'Neill could share a drink after work. Nancy Pelosi couldn't even stand being in the same room as W.

    Well, that was a little anticlimatic, eh?

    Not seeing any death threats listed. Is this it?

    Apparently the guy was stopped for running a red light and was let go for it, then ran away from his old man with a black bag, I assume it was his hardware.

    Dupnik made his real errors with his running off at the mouth after all of this. I am a believer of giving people a chance but in light of hearing of the death threats and nothing happening I have to attribute that to some pretty poor judgment.

    A stop light is one thing, threatening bodily harm is another ballgame entirely.

    edit: after Sokar's link....

    Huh, no mention of threats there..... :chris:

    I guess Dupnik isn't screwed, then.

    How does it feel to be wrong so often?

    It's probably not a viable solution, but I wouldn't say it sucked.
