From 2009 through the first week of January and even on the day of the Attempt Assassination of the Democrat Washington Representative Gifford, Democrats have called on the Republican Leaders to 'Tone Down The Violent Rhetoric' that Republicans have spewed against the Democrat Representatives.
But the only responses from the Republican Leaders has always been that the violent rhetoric is protected under "Freedom of Speech." Really? Violent rhetoric is nowhere listed in the 'Bill of Rights' as being 'Freedom of Speech'. In fact in most, if not all, the States in the United States of American there has been a law in the USA that Violent Rhetoric of death threats or Violent Rhetoric to bring about physical harm to any citizen in the USA is considered a 'TERRORIST THREAT'.
The only other responses from the Republican Leaders and the Republican commentaries is that people feel frustrated and this is the only response anyone can get across. John Boehner and other Republican Representatives in Washington have said that they will NOT tell their constituents what they cannot say.
Really? Is it really their Constituents who are saying those words, or is it the Republican Representatives and the Republican Spokes people, and the Republican Talking Heads who are the ones stating those violent rhetoric across the USA?
Republican Congressman John Boehner, the Congress Leader, the Republican Congress Majority Leader himself who back in 2010 stated a violent rhetoric himself. It was John Boehner who said that if you don't like the results in Washington and Congress it is time to get your gun. In shock I saw him and heard him speak those words in the media on TV.
In 2009 it was Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell who, along with other Republican Representatives in Washington, while holding an enlarged picture poster of Pelosi on the balcony of the building in Washington who kept hitting and violently gesturing a motion with his hand and arm movement against Pelosi's giant picture in front of the First Gathering of the Tea Party, a movement bought and paid for by the company Koch Industries and their subsidiaries. FYI: grassroots movements are from the bottom up. Unlike the Tea Party which was from the Top down.
In 2009 Sarah Palin got into the act with her posting of the Map with shot sites on the locations on the map of Democrat Congress offices at their local state offices along with the addresses and names of the Democratic Congress on her own web pages. Her own Facebook page and her own Political page. However, just recently after the attempted assassination of Gifford, someone associated with Palin did get rid of the map on Sarah's political page.
From 2009 through 2010 much of Sarah Palin's speeches and talking points have always been using the Violent Rhetoric as she tells her audiences that when they don't get what they want from Washington, it's time to get their guns. Of course her most recent speeches has added the words, that she doesn't advocate violence. Yet with her gun message and her gun shot sites on a map of Democratic Congress state locations that was posted on her Political Page which just recently removed the map, and her Facebook page it has all the proof of being Violent.
From 2009 through 2010 Rush Lumbard stated many of his Violent Rhetoric such as: if you don't get your way in Washington then it is your duty to get your gun. In fact Recently in the past few months of 2010, Rush Lumbard even stated a Violent Rhetoric against our First Lady Michelle Obama.
And now here we are, on the Monday after the Saturday morning Attempted Assassination of Democratic Arizona 8th District Congresswoman Gabrielle Gifford. The Attempted Assassination by Jared L Loughner was planned well in advance. The proof of the Attempted Assassination being planned in advance and premeditated was on his blogging days, weeks before stating that this was going to be his lasts postings, along with a letter he had in his safe in his room. That letter had the word Assassinate and the name of Democrat Congress member Gifford as his target.
The definition of Assassination is to target to murder of a prominent person, a political figure for political reasons.
The points in the definition of assassination was in much of the Violent Rhetoric and gestures stated and or done by Republican Leaders, Republican Representatives, Republican Politicians, Republican Talking Heads. Why do I say this? Because the Republicans from Boehner to Mitch to Palin to Rush Lumbard to Bech all Targeted Democratic Prominent and Political figures for Political reasons in their own VIOLENT RHETORIC against the Democratic Party as a whole.
These past few days all we are getting from the Republican Leaders, Republican Politicians and Republican Spokes people, like Congressional Republican House Leader John Boehner, Senate Republican Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, Republican Politician Ex-Governor Sarah Palin, Rush Lumbard, Bech, and other Republicans in both houses in Washington is TOTAL DENIAL!
Today Monday January 10 2011 the Republican Talking heads in the News Media and their Reporters are making statements that even though the letter had the name of Gifford in the letter with the word assassinate, those Republican talking head reporters are making statements that there is no proof of attempted assassinate. Wow, talk about Denial.
