Here is how she replied to him (according to Beck): I hate violence. I hate war. Our Children will not have peace if politicos just capitalize on this to succeed in portraying anyone as inciting terror and violence. Thanks for all you do to send the message of truth and love and God as the answer. -Sarah You mus...
Toxic rhetoric: Twitter users want Sarah Palin dead, media yawns
Ever since the tragic shooting of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, liberals have sought to blame Sarah Palin and the Tea Party for the attack. Shortly after the shooting, Jane Fonda sent out tweets blaming Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck and the Tea Party. Encouraged by irresponsible and shameful reporting, a number of Twitter users have expressed their desire to see Sarah Palin dead, and some tweets actually call for her Assassination. “So…will everyone be satisfied then when Palin is assa...
Sanitizing Extremism: Palin and Beck on Violence and War
Politico:
Sarah Palin reached out to Glenn Beck over the weekend, and Beck read some of their email exchange on his Radio Show this morning.
“Sarah, as you know, peace is always the answer. I know you are felling the same heat, if not much more on this,” Beck wrote.
Beck expressed concern about Palin’s safety, and urged her to hire the same Los Angeles-based security firm that he uses.
The Rhetoric of both Beck and Palin has been cited by both liberals and some of the mainstre...
Oregon Rep. Schrader holds Beck, Limbaugh responsible for Arizona tragedy
Oregon Rep. Kurt Schrader, Democrat, is holding Right Wing commentators Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck responsible for the tragic Shooting Spree in Arizona. Saturday, outside of a strip mall in Tucson Arizona, Jared Lee Loughner killed six people, including Federal Judge John Roll, and wounded more than a dozen, including Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. Giffords, a Democrat who supported Health Care reform, was Loughner's target. Giffords was...
Palin's ups and downs
The New York Times zeroes in on Sarah Palin's communications, absence of significant communication, and political future.
Under criticism that her political Rhetoric had helped create a climate for political violence, Sarah Palin addressed the issue in Trademark Fashion: via e-mail to the conservative commentator Glenn Beck.
“Our Children will not have peace if politicos just capitalize on this to succeed in portraying anyone as inciting terror and violence,” Ms. Palin wrote to Mr. B...
Does Beck Think Americans Are Weak?
Tue Jan. 11, 2011 8:37 AM PST Why doesn't Glenn Beck have confidence in America? During his Monday Radio Show—when the subject was the Tucson tragedy—Beck came to the rescue of his friend Sarah Palin, who had come under criticism for a map her political action group had created last year that placed cross-hairs over the districts of 20 Democratic legislators it had targeted—including the one represented by Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.). Beck read to his audience an email f...
Tucson spells trouble for Palin's presidential hopes
After a Palin-produced gunsight map went viral, the former Governor was immediately dragged into the debate. The Internet lit up with criticism linking her camp to the shooting of Gabby Giffords (the Arizona congresswoman's district was targeted as one to "take back" in 2010). Palin posted a brief condolence on Facebook but then, she promptly went into self-defense mode --a move that didn't win her any fans, and caused her political stock to plummet in an online futures market. (Yes, t...
Absurd fingerpointing continues in wake of Arizona shooting
As more become clear about Jared Loughner, the facts seem to mean less and less for those seeking to turn this tragedy into a political witch hunt. It appears that Loughner, had an obsession with Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) dating back to 2007 - before Sarah Palin or the Tea Party movement came on the national scene, and the warning signs that Loughner was an unstable person had been ignored; even by police.
And while the debate on Loughner’s political leanings is still raging, Chris Ci...
How Glenn Beck And Fox News Successfully Painted AZ Shooter As Hitler, Marx Devotee
Within hours of the Shooting Spree in Arizona, conservative blogs lit up with the news that the suspect, Jared Loughner, was an aficionado of Mein Kampf and the Communist Manifesto. A Hitler/Marx devotee, the logic went, is someone too idiosyncratic or crazy to be part of any mainstream political movement. Some went further, and cited the information as proof that Loughner was the sort of big-government liberal they had nightmares about.
As with so many of these fast-propagating conservative m...
Glenn Beck Defends Sarah Palin With New Pledge Scam
It was a no-brainer that Glenn Beck would jump on the hastily gerrymandered “FOX ‘News’ Protect Palin” bandwagon after the Tucson massacre. Beck has a lot invested emotionally in the Half-Governor. Not only is she his BFF—she was his first guest on Fox “News”—but he is also knew that an attack on Sarah Palin for her “target maps” would quickly spread to the Beckinator himself. As offensive as the bulls eyes might have been—and the...
The War on Sarah Palin
I've never seen anyone who inspires such fear and hatred on the left as Sarah Palin. The Arizona shooting has led to a whole new round of anti-Palin hysteria. David Brooks addresses the issue and the media's complicity:
Other themes from Loughner’s life fit the rampage-killer profile. He saw himself in world historical terms. He appeared to have a poor sense of his own illness (part of a condition known as anosognosia). He had increasingly frequent run-ins with the police. In short, the e...
Giffords Doctors: 'She's Breathing On Her Own'
Doctors at the University of Arizona Medical Center just gave a Press Conference on the condition of the mass Shooting Victims in Tucson, and said that Rep. Gabrielle Giffords is "breathing on her own" after being shot in the head.
Dr. Peter Rhee said that six patients still remain in the Hospital, one is in critical condition, three are in serious condition, and two are in fair condition. He added that one patient is currently in surgery.
Giffords' doctor, Michael LeMole, said that she is "...
Glenn Beck Says 9/11 Truthers Are Dangerous, But Guest Host of Beck's Show is a Truther
I’d normally rather have a root canal than watch Glenn Beck’s show, but today I wanted to see how he would try to spin away all responsibility for his insane Extremist Rhetoric. And sure enough, he came up with a real jaw-dropper. Here’s a Screenshot; these are the people he thinks are really, really dangerous (not him):
I almost couldn’t believe this one.
Because Beck has had a 9/11 Truther guest hosting his show, and more than once: Judge Andrew Napolitano, who went on ...
Glenn Beck Says 9/11 Truthers Are Dangerous, But Frequent Host of Beck's Show is a 9/11 Truther

Evaluating Palin's Response to the Giffords Shooting (The Atlantic Wire)
WASHINGTON, DC – Sarah Palin hates violence and war--she just happens talk about it because it makes a middle-aged mom with glasses and a hair pouf sound tough. Harsh judgment, but even those who see no connection between Palin's rough Rhetoric (complete with gunsights) and the Giffords shooting aren't impressed with her response to the tragedy. Giffords's shooter, Jared Lee Loughner, appears to have been mentally ill and did not mention Palin--or the infamous map--a single time in his p...
AZ aftermath: Seattle Times v. P-I v. conservatives and gun rights
While Seattle-area Liberals have joined the rush to blame Conservatives and Constitutionally-affirmed Gun Rights for the shooting of Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and the Murders of six other citizens, it appears no small amount of irony and hypocrisy have risen to the surface, and you can study it today on websites for the Seattle Times, Seattle PI.com, Sound Politics and Orbusmax. Tuesday Morning, even KIRO’s Dave Ross got in on the debate, and we will talk mo...
Psychosis or Politics
Andrew Sullivan makes some good points in response to David Brooks's belief that psychosis, not politics, was the casus berserkus of the shooting--although I tend to stand closer to Brooks in this matter. To keep things in perspective, however, it's important to state the obvious: We don't know anything yet. We may have some clues to Loughner's motivation, but nothing definitive, since he hasn't said anything and the feds are probably withholding the most relevant material they may have found in...
Glenn Beck Reaches Out to Victim of Shooting
“Sarah, as you know, peace is always the answer. I know you’re feeling the same heat — if not much more — on this. I want you to know you have my support. But please look into protection for your family. An attempt on you could bring the republic down. Please, call Gavin de Becker in Los Angeles. He is the guy that protects me. They are, bar none, the best. There are nut jobs on all sides.” Yeah, Sarah Palin could bring down the republic; she’s been working o...

Why Sarah Palin Won't Be President.
One of the criticisms Progressives often make of Barack Obama is that he spends far too much time trying to make his opponents like him, and not enough time worrying about what his supporters think of him. Sarah Palin , on the other hand, has the opposite problem: she spends all her time speaking to those who are already within her bubble of support, and no time thinking about how she can persuade those who aren't already on her side.
Her reaction to the Gabrielle Giffords shooting has cast this...
A Challenge To Glenn Beck: Will He Cool His Paranoid Anti-Government Rhetoric?
On Sunday, federal officials charged Jared Lee Loughner on two counts of Murder and three counts of Attempted Murder in Saturday’s shooting rampage in Tucson, AZ that critically wounded Rep. Gabriel Giffords (D-AZ) and killed a Federal Judge and a Giffords Staffer, among others. In the wake of the tragedy, many are wondering what motivated Loughner — whether he was a mentally-ill lone wolf vigilante or inspired by something else.
Information coming out about Loughner portrays the ...
Sarah Palin Tells Glenn Beck: "I Hate Violence"
Sarah Palin and her campaign website targeting Congressional Democrats. On his radio program on Monday, Glenn Beck described an email exchange with Sarah Palin over Saturday's tragedy in Tuscon. Beck said Palin told him, "I hate violence." Beck said he wrote to Palin urging her to look into security measures in the wake of the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and others because "there are nutjobs on all sides." He told listeners he gave the former Alaska Governor the name of the security fir...
Blood will be on your hands, Whoopie Goldberg warned talking heads in March
Stumble This! Whoopi Goldberg may not be the best of talents when it comes to picking scripts that will become breakout hits as films, but she certainly seems to have absolutely nailed a prediction of what America's political discourse would become in an era of ubiquitous violent Rhetoric. During a March 2010 broadcast of ABC's daytime Talk Show "The View," co-host Joy Behar called out "an Al Qaeda Christmas Card" circulated by Fox News employee Sarah Palin, showing a map of the US with gun sig...
Brave Woman Who Grabbed Clip from Shooter Blames Right-Wing Media and Rhetoric In Fox News Interview
Patricia Maisch, 61, was the brave woman who kept alleged shooter Jared Loughner from unloading a second clip into a Tuscon crowd on Saturday. Wounded herself from a bullet, she saw him attempting to equip his gun with another magazine, grabbed him and knelt on his ankle, delaying the reload and potentially saving many more lives. So when Fox News interviewed her on Sunday, they clearly wanted to know if her strength could translate to psychic healing as Americans grappled with the tragedy...

Gov. Bob McDonnell signed an Executive Order today creating an independent Bipartisan advisory commission on redistricting. McDonnell said the commission will create and review proposed redistricting plans for the Virginia Senate, the House of Delegates and Congressional Districts. The commission will consist of 11 members, including a former Democratic appointee as Secretary of the State Board of Elections and a former Republican appointee.

McDonnell creates bipartisan redistricting commission
Gov. Bob McDonnell (R) announced Monday that he has created a Bipartisan advisory commission on redistricting months before Virginia attempts to redraw its state legislative and Congressional Districts. The commission will be comprised of 11 members with an equal number of Republicans and Democrats, two former judges, one former Federal Judge nominated by a Republican president and one former state judge initially elected by a Democratic-led legislature and an independent chairman.
