The really sad part is they are defending actions that incite hatred. When a whack job politician (republican or democrat) talks about putting other politicians on a "hit list" and the uses a gun to drive the point home and something like this happens, that said person needs to understand and be held accountable for her actions.
It has no place in American politics.

THE TOP TEN RACIST RUSH LIMBAUGH QUOTES
1. “Have you ever noticed how all composite pictures of wanted criminals resemble Jesse Jackson?”
Source
No, but I’ve noticed that all racist bigots think like Rush Limbaugh. Comparing a respected black politician and minister to common criminals is Jim Crow racism. Maybe all black people look alike to him, but I’ve never seen a picture of a wanted criminal that looks like Jesse Jackson. A serial killer that looks like Rush Limbaugh on the other hand.
John Wayne Gacy
2. “Right. So you go into Darfur and you go into South Africa, you get rid of the white government there. You put sanctions on them. You stand behind Nelson Mandela — who was bankrolled by communists for a time, had the support of certain communist leaders. You go to Ethiopia. You do the same thing.”
Source
The communist connection is an old way of dealing with black leaders. They used it on Martin Luther King, they’re using it on Barack Obama and Limbaugh used it on Nelson Mandela. By siding with the racist apartheid regime over a world-wide symbol of peace and freedom, Limbaugh has shown he’s a global racist.
3. “Look, let me put it to you this way: the NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons. There, I said it.”
Source
Limbaugh is once again fear mongering and race baiting by associating professional black athletes with criminals and gangmembers. He continues the fear mongering association of good, decent, hard working African Americans as criminals.
4. “The NAACP should have riot rehearsal. They should get a liquor store and practice robberies.”
Source
Now Limbaugh is saying that an organization with a storied tradition of representing the positive black people for change in their communities are criminals and rioters. An organization that has been represented by intelligent professional African Americans, that has played a part in the Civil Rights movement and continues to be an intelligent, concerned voice for the African American community is degraded to common criminals. There you go Rush. Keep racism alive!!!!
5. “They’re 12 percent of the population. Who the hell cares?”
Source
Decent human beings care Rush. Someone out of that 12% is the President of the United States. Not caring about black people? Even George Bush wouldn’t admit to that.
6. [To an African American female caller]: “Take that bone out of your nose and call me back.”
Source
Okay, Rush, that’s classy. The old African bone in the nose stereotype. Wasn’t funny when the racist white school kids called the black kids that and it’s definitely not funny when a grown man with audience of millions of easily influenced dittoheads says it either.
7. ”I think the media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well. They’re interested in black coaches and black quarterbacks doing well. I think there’s a little hope invested in McNabb and he got a lot of credit for the performance of his team that he really didn’t deserve.”
Source
I wasn’t super offended by this, the whole black quarterback/coach thing has been going on for years in sports, but the quote was so offensive that Retired General Wesley Clarke said:
There can be no excuse for such statements. Mr. Limbaugh has the right to say whatever he wants, but ABC and ESPN have no obligation to sponsor such hateful and ignorant speech. Mr. Limbaugh should be fired immediately.
When a respected, retired general condemns the statement of a sportscaster, you know he’s gone too far.
8. Limbaugh’s many attacks on Obama.
Limbaugh has called Obama a ‘halfrican American’ has said that Obama was not Black but Arab because Kenya is an Arab region, even though Arabs are less than one percent of Kenya. Since mainstream America has become more accepting of African-Americans, Limbaugh has decided to play against its new racial fears, Arabs and Muslims. Despite the fact Obama graduated magna c#m laude from Harvard Law school, Limbaugh has called him an ‘affirmative action candidate.’ Limbaugh even has repeatedly played a song on his radio show ‘Barack the Magic Negro’ using an antiquated Jim Crow era term for Black a man who many Americans are supporting for president. Way to go Rush.
So Rush Limbaugh has managed to make racist attacks on four of the most admired and respected people of African descent in the past one hundred years, in Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, Colin Powell and Barack Obama. He has claimed that Joe the Plumber, who isn’t even a plumber is more important in this election than Colin Powell, a decorated military veteran who has served honorably in three administrations. How can the Republican party stand by this man and let their candidates appear on his show? Rush Limbaugh’s comments are so racist, they’re funny, in a Borat, Archie Bunker kind of way. What is not funny is the millions of dittoheads who listen to him, who take in and re-spout all the racist rhetoric that he spits. Limbaugh’s statements are echoed in the racist, angry Palin/McCain supporters who shout ‘kill him,’ ‘terrorist,’ ‘communist,’ ‘traitor,’ ’socialist’ and ‘off with his head.’
9. “We need segregated buses… This is Obama’s America.”
Source
Okay Limbaugh let’s take back all of the Civil Rights movement and bring segregation back. But you’re not a racist.
10. “Obama’s entire economic program is reparations.”
Source
So everything Obama is doing is a big plot to give money to Black people. Any evidence? Stop the racist fear-mongering.
THE TWO CONTESTED QUOTES
We ran these two quotes as part of our original list of ten. However, in the fall of 2009, this post surfaced in the debate that followed Limbaugh’s dismissal from an investment group attempting to purchase the St. Louis Rams. NewsOne has, as yet, not been able to determine the veracity of these quotes. We note the following for the record:
* These two quotes were both sourced to a book by Jack Huberman called “101 People Who Are Really Screwing America,” published by Nation Books in 2006. The author of this book, in turn, claims that he procured these quotes from a source which he has refused to reveal “on advice of counsel.”
* Rush Limbaugh has vigorously denied that he said these things.
In sum, NewsOne can no longer vouch for the accuracy of these quotes. Nor can we trust Limbaugh, who never denied saying the other eight racist quotes on our original list, and whose own track record of duplicity gives us pause. We keep them in our post for their news value as a controversial, and perhaps dubious attribution. Segregated, of course. Which should make some people very happy.
1. “I mean, let’s face it, we didn’t have slavery in this country for over 100 years because it was a bad thing. Quite the opposite: slavery built the South. I’m not saying we should bring it back; I’m just saying it had its merits. For one thing, the streets were safer after dark.”
Source
2. “You know who deserves a posthumous Medal of Honor? James Earl Ray [the confessed assassin of Martin Luther King]. We miss you, James. Godspeed.”
Source
BONUS QUOTES
(…because ten isn’t enough!)
“Obama is “more African in his roots than he is American” and is “behaving like an African colonial despot”
Source
How exactly does and African colonial despot behave? Trying to degrade our President by attacking his African roots?
“Obama is an angry Black guy”
Source
Was John McCain an angry white guy? Was George Bush a dumb white man? Is your hero, Dick Cheney, an evil white demon? Why are you playing off the angry Black guy stereotype to disrespect our President?
ANTI-LATINO QUOTES
“Let the unskilled jobs that take absolutely no knowledge whatsoever to do — let stupid and unskilled Mexicans do that work.”
Source
“You’re a foreigner. You shut your mouth or you get out.”
Source
“A Chavez is a Chavez. We’ve Always Had Problems with Them”

I've noticed that, too.
I always assume he's not really going to do anything violent, because in my experience, those who blow the hardest are normally the last ones to back it up.
I just figure it's Bob's way of admitting he's run out of topical arguement.

WASHINGTON -- Jared Lee Loughner, the alleged shooter of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and others on Saturday, may have ties to anti-Semitic, anti-immigration hate group American Renaissance, according to a leaked memo from the Department of Homeland Security.
It's unclear whether Loughner maintains a direct connection to the group, however, "strong suspicion is being directed" at American Renaissance in the wake of the group being referenced in Loughner's Myspace and YouTube videos, according to the memo, which was obtained by Fox News.
American Renaissance is a white nationalist group that operates under a pseudo think tank called the New Century Foundation. The group runs a magazine and conferences based on eugenics and the superiority of whites, according to Southern Poverty Law Center.

very sad and disappointing, this entire thread....
the need to blame.
the shooter was obviously troubled, perhaps even schizophrenic, yet in our society, apparently, there is no sense that there is a community to respond and help such people, they're on their own, they are treated like anyone else, and with the "rights" of everyone else, such as the right to bear arms... so tragic.
there is an interesting difference in response, one that he is an individual and responsible for his own acts, and one is that he acted out the desires of the putative [look up...] organization he associated with... in this "debate" both sides provide arguments and rebuttals...
there is no way to understand this sort of act, it is almost random, but given the conditions which we insist on living in, where the balance between individual liberty and the ability to defend that liberty, and the need and advantages of creating a "more perfect union" in which we act together as a common community, sometimes giving up some liberty to reap the benefits of acting for our mutual interests, sometimes these competing ideas fail to foresee all the consequences of their positions
here the conditions existed to create a tragedy, a tragedy made even more so by the responses evidenced on this thread, by all...
we want an explanation where there is very likely none, except a sick individual with the capability of inflicting fatal injury to others. the issued raised by these considerations are more disturbing to me than this superficial political posturing taking place here
shame on you all

Republican-Tea Bagger voters are victims of the right wing propaganda machine...The communists and nazis used similar tactics to whip the ignorant masses into carrying out their dirty deeds....Fear and hatred are the tools of the republican party and corporate spin meisters...These tactics have nothing to do with free speech and their well scripted intentions have tragic results as the tuscon shooting has proven...

LEB said:
That one is a gifted speaker who inspires and motivates people does not equate to holding responsibility for whatever illegal actions any given audience member subsequently commits. Show me where Palin specifically advocated violence as the means to accomplish a given political agenda.
What you are presenting as a defense, is plausible deniability.
Lets look at this a bit more closely, using YOUR logic.
In another thread, you went on and on about how all muslims, everywhere, were complicit in 911. And you know that for sure, because you did not see them shouting from the rooftops after 911 repudiating that terrible act, as they should have (although many of us posted many, many links that demonstrated that, in fact, they did).
In other words, you held out as evidence of sympathy to the terrorists, silence to the terrorist act. By the way, I accept that line of reasoning, I simply reject that the facts support that it was true.
So, let's apply YOUR line of reasoning to your friends in the Tea Party, Palin and Angle. You have already stipulated, under the burden of overwhelming written and video evidence, that Angle advocated multiple times, violent attacks upon the government by citizens if they did not like the outcomes of elections. Leaders of the party have admitted this, and backed away from this, as well.
What was Palin's reaction? Silence.
Well, not exactly silence. Vocal silence on the subject. However, she threw herself in even more determinedly into Angle's campaign.
On her own page, and the posters have here have seen, she set up a page with locations of congresspeople she disagreed with, with rifle crosshairs centered on them, and rhetoric echoing Angle.
So if we apply your line of reasoning to Palin, she not only passivly supports someone you describe as an idiot, but she ACTIVELY supports that person, in a call for violence, and specifically targets the person who was just shot.
Wiggle as much as you want. On some clipboard in some backroom of Palin's somewhere, a name got checked off a list.
