In reflecting on the events over the last couple of years that have led up to todays tragedy, one thing stands out....no leader of the Republican party stepped up to the plate and said, "Whoa, this is just wrong." Not one. Heaven knows they've had a plethora of opportunities....but they didn't do it.

Take a second look at the photos in Land of Enchantment's diary titled Second Amendment Remedies. http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2011/1/8/934297/-Second-Amendment-Remedies-%28with-pictures%29
Not one Republican Senator or Representative stood up, smiled at the camera and said, "Whoa, this is just wrong." Silence was the gold standard for the leadership's behavior. Not one Republican leader said that target shooting ads are inappropriate. Cable ran them and reran them. Not one Republican leader said, "Remove these damned ads, they are wrong, they are inappropriate, they are tawdry."

Joe Wilson yelled, "YOU LIE!" during the State of The Union Speech, how many Republican Senators or Representatives stood up and said, "Whoa, that's just wrong?"

When Bachmann said on Hardball

*****I wish the American media would take a great look at the views of the people in Congress and find out, are they pro-America or anti-America?

how many Senators or Representatives stood up and said, "Whoa, that's just wrong."


the rest:

2. Tacit agreement. And they're still denying that this
came from the hatred they've been allowing and promoting.

5. Typical and deadly rhetoric for them.
For now it's politicians being threatened but I'll not forget what another DUer mentioned recently, soon it will be you and I they'll be hunting down.

6. implicit approval
just as John Boehner (and others) refused to repudiate the people claiming Pres. Obama was a citizen, it is implicit approval of incendiary talk

7. The Republicans and Tea Party are hoping this will just blow over
The Republicans and Tea Party are hoping this will just blow over - then they can conduct their next assassination.

If we don't put a halt to Sarah Palin and her Tea Party right now, they will continue to encourage unfortunate people like Jared Loughner to do their unsavory bidding. The spewing of Michael Savage and Glenn Beck about surrounding the Capitol with torches and pike poles will result in more assassinations if allowed to continue.
