Palin will and should take the blame for her words that ignite and incite hatred.

"Rightwing extremism in the United States can be broadly divided into those groups, movements, and adherents that are primarily hate-oriented (based on hatred of particular religious, racial or ethnic groups), and those that are mainly antigovernment, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority, or rejecting government authority entirely. It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration."

You are a complete fool. WTF does a woman period have to do with events that happen today??

Guys it isn't important that we know WHY he did these things. That is pre-9/11 thinking. The important thing is that we search anyone who looks like him at airports and then bomb an unrelated state. Watch out, Colorado!

You miss the mark completly.

AC, how many people have died now from the Jan Brewer death Panel
She is a great Gov
A few.
She is a right wing nut in a right wing nut state.
Can AZ ever hang on to a Gov. that isn't dumb, crazy, crook, racist, ETC?

Right wingers make death threat against Democratic member of Congress' children
The Tea Party and its allies on the right wing (including fellow travelers in the Republican Party) took a bold new step towards the future of the Republican Party today, by making death threats against the children of Representative Louise Slaughter (D-New York). This just hours after a Tea Party leader published what he thought was the home address of Congressman Tom Perriello (D-Virginia) online. The address turned out to be that of Perriello's brother who, along with his wife, has four small children under the age of eight who could now be the target of right wing violence.
Update: There has been what appears to be an attempted act of arson at Congressman Tom Perriello's brother's home in Lynchburg, Virginia after local members of the Tea Party identified the home as that of Congressman Perriello. Congressman Perriello is married with four small children below the age of eight.

More Right Wing Death Threats
Rush Limbaugh is now using his radio show to promote hatred and rage with language that could well incite physical violence from some of his listeners.
Meanwhile, death threats are rising against Democratic public officials. Abusive calls and threats are made against the homes of prominent Democrats. Extremists call on supporters to bring guns to Washington. Enough is enough.
One House Republican leader referred to a Democratic member and said he can't go home; he's a "dead man." House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) did not mean a physical threat with this comment, but it demonstrated extremely bad judgment and further inflames very dangerous tendencies within certain extreme circles.
Republican leaders in Congress and potential Republican presidential candidates should publicly condemn Limbaugh's language and publicly call on him to cease and desist from using any incendiary language that could incite violence. They should condemn all incendiary language from anyone in right-wing media or politics.
It is repellant enough, and highly damaging to Republicans, for their supporters to use racist slurs against African-Americans, to use bigoted slurs against gay Americans and to spit on members of Congress. Shame on Republicans who refuse to strongly condemn this and limit their remarks to further inciting this behavior, or weakly criticizing it alongside incendiary rhetoric that implicitly excuses it.
When Rush Limbaugh uses language about wiping out political opponents, and language that could well incite acts of physical and criminal violence, he is taking this campaign to a whole new and darker level.
Republican leaders in Congress should condemn Limbaugh for language of hate that could well inspire violence.
Republican presidential candidates should condemn Limbaugh for language of hate.
All Republicans in positions of leadership should strongly and unequivocally condemn the hatred, the bigotry and the potential incitements to violence that are coming from extreme elements of the radical right that are now becoming voices for the Republican Party.

Horrendous, especially the 9 yr old who perished.
Guys obviously a nutcase (about whom we will know all too much in years to come). Disingenuous to pin his motives on political ideology in any normal sense.
It is however even more chilling to ponder whether that chilling map of Fallin's that AC and Mtuck have posted was any part of his motivation or planning. Though to blame republican ideology for this is like blaming John Lennon's shooting on Jody Foster.
A preliminary lesson though, could be to tone down the hyperbole in the first place. ie, not invite people to 'gun down' those with different views. Even if it is couched as tongue in cheek.
The shooter is an internet guy and wacko, who knows where his influences come from?

LEB said Show me DF where Palin said xyz people should be "taken out"
As usual, you are mind-bogglingly uninformed.
Palin said "Get on Target for Victory in November. Help remove Gabrielle Giffords
from office. Shoot a fully automatic M16 with Jesse Kelly."
Now I don't think that Palin actually wants/wanted anyone to get shot. She's just insanely careless with her words over and over and over again and has a pocket full of crazies that she is happy to have adore her and ready to shun them at any moment.
