Whose Side are You On? Gabby Giffords or Alex Jones?

Former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords and her husband NASA pilot Lt. Cmdr Mark Kelly have begun a Campaign Americans for Responsible Solutions against Gun Violence

Meanwhile, Alex Jones went on Piers Morgan Show and showed the True rambling, insane Face of American Gun Owners. Alex Jones, Zardoz LaPierre, James Holmes, Adam Lanza and the Murderers in Chicago are the Reality of Guns in America.

The "Argument" that Gun Laws would not have stopped Columbine or The Dark Knight Killings or the VA Tech Massacre, or the Northern Illinois shootings or the NRA-endorsed Newton Connecticut Killings or the Tinley Park Lane Bryant Murders or the latest 4 shot to death in Aurora, Colorado is used by the NRA and their Republican Allies in order to distract Americans from the facts about Gun Violence in America.

The Unrestricted Gun Violence Supporters continue to make the "Argument" that Gun Laws don't stop Gun Crimes.

How is this an Argument? When has any Law, in and of itself, ever stopped a Crime? 

Despite all the laws we have against Murder, Theft, Assaults, Vandalism and Tax Evasion these crimes continue to occur daily.

Since the Laws we have don't stop those actions does that mean we should ignore the crimes and abolish the Laws?

This is an Argument Gun Manufacturers have crafted. For the very simple reason that Gun Control hurts their profits. We have been flooded with Hundreds of Millions of Firearms. They make money as we are killed by their products.

The NRA exists to represent the Interests of Firearm Companies. Wayne LaPierre and The Republicans stand with and for the Rights of the Merchants of Death.

Who is representing the American People?

Right-Wing Extremists threaten to kill Democratic Senators and engage in Armed Revolt against President Obama (Conservative Domestic Terrorism Alert)

Conservative Domestic Terrorists plan to engage in an armed revolt once they lose at the ballot box again. Virginia GOP Ponch McPhee, Editor of the Greene County Virginia Newsletter, wrote the following,

The ultimate task for the people is to remain vigilant and aware  ~ that the government, their government is out of control, and this moment, this opportunity, must not be forsaken, must not escape us, for we shall not have any coarse but armed revolution should we fail with the power of the vote in November ~ This Republic cannot survive for 4 more years underneath this political socialist ideologue.

As an addendum what most failed to notice is the newsletter cut-and-paste addition of David Barton's ludicrous column asking if [President Obama] is America's Most Biblically-Hostile U.S. President? To which I respond,

The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.

But, the Constitution only matters to Right-Wingers when it's interpreted their way...

Scott Boston, a footsolider in Dana Loesch's St. Louis Tea Party declared they intend to Kill Democratic Senator Clarie McCaskill, “She walks around like she’s some sort of Rainbow Brite Care Bear or something but really she’s an evil monster. We have to kill the Claire Bear." Jawohl mein Herr!

In 2010, the Republicans and Tea Party Extremists repeated the language of Stochastic Terrorism.

There were calls by Sarah Palin to "not retreat, reload" and Palin's "Target the 20". Michele Bachmann wanted her constituents "armed and dangerous" over the Heathcare law Gabby Giffords supported. Sharron Angle urged her supporters to "Use Second Amendment Remedies" to remove Harry Reid if she lost. And from Republican Catherine Crabill forcefully asserted, "We have a chance to fight this battle at the Ballot Box before we have to resort to the Bullet Box". The use of violence or the threat of violence to effect political change is known as terrorism.

Merely removing Gaby Giffords hasn't been enough for Conservative Domestic Terrorists, they want more violence and bloodshed. Now, there will be no saking their thirst for blood when Republicans are roundly rejected

And thus having whipped themselves into a Righteous Fury, that they are Saving America, Chicken Hawk, Child Raping, Domestic Terrorist Ted Nugent summed up the Right-Wing response to electoral defeat, "ride into that battlefield and chop their heads off in November."

Republican Congressman John Sullivan threatened to Kill Senators

Well, it sure didn't take the Republican Party long to go back to threatening to assassinate Democrats and those who disagree with them.

As Congressman John Sullivan of Oklahoma was talking to an Okie Town Hall about how awesome the dreamy Paul Ryan's Deathcare for American Budget was, when he recounted how he "lives with some senators" and continued,

"I yell at them all the time, I grabbed one of them the other day and shook him and I’d love to get them to vote for it. You know but other than me going over there with a gun and holding it to their head and maybe killing a couple of them, I don’t think they’re going to listen unless they get beat.”

Well now, in Sullivan's defense it has been a whole month since Gabby Giffords had to step down after a Tea Party inspired crazy took the Right-Wing eliminationist rhetoric to heart and shot her in the face.

Sullivan is a fine Republican. He's been arrested 4 times, he voted for TARP and Trillions in Welfare to Wall Street but declared the Auto bailout was "rewarding failure", he supported the 2009-2010 Tea Party Rallies and he voted to make the PATRIOT Act permanent. The Right-Wingers in this Nation have been using the threat of violence for years. The Tea Party slogan is We Came Unarmed This Time...

Right Wing Terror Alert -Will Washington's Failures Lead to a Second American Revolution [Disaffected and it Feels So Good]

Congratulations Tea Party! Your Arizona Hit Proved Successful

This is the Tea Party political slogan used against Giffords prior to the 2010 election:

"Help remove Gabrielle Giffords from office. Shoot a fully automatic M16 with Jesse Kelly"

Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords announced she's stepping down from the Congress.

“A lot has happened over the past year. We cannot change that,” said Giffords, 41, in a video released by her office. She continued, haltingly: “I don’t remember much from that horrible day, but I will never forget the trust you placed in me to be your voice. Thank you for your prayers and for giving me time to recover. I have more work to do on my recovery. So to do what is best for Arizona, I will step down this week.”

The Tea Party Massacre can claim another Victory. Sarah Palin can now take down the gunsights she placed over Giffords' District and declare "Mission Accomplished".

Thankfully, once Koch Industries and Dick Armey stopped running the buses, the hollow Tea Party shell collapsed and hasn't be heard from since the Arizona Tea Party Massacre.

And the next time we do hear from the Tea Party will be when they abrogate their supposed strongly held beliefs and dutifully line-up to vote as they are instructed.

"Don't Retreat! -Reload." Remember there is no Tea Party Orthodoxy

Save the strong lose the weak,
Never turning the other cheek

Caught in the crossfire ~ Stevie Ray Vaughn, Crossfire

Until they need one.

Do you remember how when the Tea Party was castigated for it's extreme elements? The racists? The bigots? The militia members? Those declaring themselves "Sovereign Citizens"? The Oathbreakers? The Birthers? The Tenthers? The ones declaring the Obama Government and the President himself to be illegitimate?

Well, after each incident some group with Tea in their name like, Tea Party Nation or Tea Party Central or I want to Tea Party All the Time would state with finality the 'Tea Party movement has no structure and no hierarchy'.

Well, that was until a Tea Party inspired murderous bastard acted upon the core message of the Tea Party. Then no less than Senator Lamar Alexander and Congressman Trent Franks, two Republicans who have been ensconced in Washington DC for DECADES, can go on national tv and declare, the murderer doesn't fit the profile of a Tea Party member and anyone who mentions Sarah Palin is responsible for the murders.

First, of course this murderer fits the profile of a Tea Party member, with his fear of a government, illiterate pleas for the sovereignty of the individual versus the state and his gold backed currency mumblings. And he's a registered Independent, which until now, has been cherished by the Right as meaning Tea Party member.

But, second, how can two career Republican politicians speak for the Tea Party? We've been told for years the Tea Party is not affiliated with the Republican Party.

What Alexander and Franks made clear is what has been known for a long time, the Tea Party is the Terrorist arm of the Republican Party. They had a mission, which was crafted at the upper levels, and passed along in memos to cause disruptions, instill fear and allude to gun play and violence, in an effort to frighten and terrorize Democrats and Liberals. Here is Dick Armey's vision of political discourse from the 2009 Tea Party Healthcare Insurance Reform attacks:

- "Spread out in the hall and try to be in the front half. The objective is to put the Rep on the defensive with your questions and follow-up. The Rep should be made to feel that a majority, and if not, a significant portion of at least the audience, opposes the socialist agenda of Washington.”

– “You need to rock-the-boat early in the Rep’s presentation, Watch for an opportunity to yell out and challenge the Rep’s statements early.”

– "The goal is to rattle him, get him off his prepared script and agenda. If he says something outrageous, stand up and shout out and sit right back down. Look for these opportunities before he even takes questions.”

That is what Republicans do immediately when they are out of power.

"I believe in this movement ... America is ready for another revolution," - Sarah Palin at the 2010 Tea Party Convention.

Now, that another Tea Party inspired terrorist incident has occurred the push back is coming from all levels on the Right. Faux News spent the entire day attacking liberals, especially Sheriff Clarence Dupnik for pointing out the obvious, when you use violence and guns in your political language when you declare your opponent is an enemy and invoke the idea of armed overthrow of the democratically elected government you are Responsible!

Meanwhile, the Tea Party could care less about the murders and anguished families and are spending all their time attacking liberals. The Tea Party Express had this to say:

It is quite clear that liberals are trying to exploit this shooting for their own political benefit, and they used deception and dishonesty to try and smear all of us and our beliefs.

Now clearly, this murderous bastard is responsible for his actions but Sarah Palin, Dick Armey, Freedomworks and the organizations under the Tea Party umbrella have created a climate and stoked the fires which, most likely, served as the spark for his terrorist act.

They are responsible for the Tea Party Massacre in Tucson.

Who Will Conservative Terrorists Murder Next? [Disaffected and it Feels So Good]

The Tea Party Massacre in Tucson, Arizona

The Tea Party is responsible for the horrific massacre in Arizona. And they know it.

Because of it they are preparing to violently push back (would you expect anything less of Terrorists) blaming the attack on liberals and claiming the murderer is a "liberal lunatic".

"The left is coming and will hit us hard on this. We need to push back harder. The shooter was a liberal lunatic. Emphasis on both words," wrote Judson Phillips founder of Tea Party Nation.

Putting aside the murderer's fear of government, pro-gold currency screeds which fit perfectly in a Glenn Beck monologue or a Keep Your Government Hands off my Medicare Tea Party Rally, The Tea Party and conservatives have spent the last 2 years vociferously creating a climate of anti-government and hatred for Democrats.

They openly and brazenly brought guns to political rallies. As Chekhov noted,

"If in the first act you have hung a pistol on the wall, then in the following one it should be fired."

Well, the guns and violence the Tea Partiers have hung upon themselves just went off.

Just recall the hundreds of signs at Tea Party rallies, "We Came Unarmed [This time]", "The Tree of Liberty needs to be refreshed from time to time...", "Let his days be few; and let another take his office." Their every rally was besot with eliminationist wordage, violent imagery, hatred and murderous intent if their political will was thwarted.

"That's because of the Tea Party movement, all these Tim McVeigh wannabes." ~ Sean Hannity

It's a hallmark of Republican and conservative political dissatisfaction. They threaten violence always and immediately when not in power. And the last two years have seen a horrible toll. This most recent event obviously has captured every one's attention, but we've become so inured to the Conservative calls to Violence and Bloodshed a review of this timeline will make sense of the recent Tea Party Massacre. And cast a chilling light on every good American who now has to live in fear of Conservative Terrorism.

Sarah Palin, who bears a large responsibility for the Tea Party Massacre in Tuscon, has had her aide claim her gunsight targeting of Giffords and 19 other Democrats were "surveyors marks". "Don't retreat, -Reload" those surveyors marks? Of course, the hypocrites of the Right slavishly agree, no Equivocation is too ridiculous for conservatives.

Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik lays the blame right where it belongs on Sarah Palin and the Tea Party: "When you look at unbalanced people, how they respond to the vitriol that comes out of certain mouths about tearing down the government," he said. "The anger, the hatred, the bigotry that goes on this country is getting to be outrageous and unfortunately Arizona has become sort of the capital. We have become the Mecca for prejudice and bigotry."

The Assassination Attempt on Democratic Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords

Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and 18 other people were shot at a political function, "Congress on Your Corner". 6 human lives were taken and many families shattered as a result of this shooting.

Giffords is a Democrat. Giffords was shot in the head and was initially reported dead but as of now was in surgery. Her vote on the Healthcare Insurance Reform, earned her a target, literally, from Sarah Palin. At an earlier Heathcare reform rally in 2009, an unidentified person dropped a gun. Her stance on Immigration and her beliefs that the right wing beloved Arizona state law demanding random detention of suspected illegals was "divisive" and did “nothing to make the communities I represent safer" earned her the hate and ire of Faux News and the Tea Party.

Here is what the Tea Party used as a political slogan prior to the election:

"Help remove Gabrille Giffords from office. Shoot a fully automatic M16 with Jesse Kelly"

The Rush will be to blame the Sarah Palin, Sean Hannity, Lou Dobbs, Glenn Beck, Sharron Angle, Michael Savage and the other conservative toxic talk show hosts who propound daily their virulent anti-immigrant fear mongering and have used murderous, bloodthirsty gun laden imagery in their quest to destroy the Democratic Party and Barack Obama. And perhaps they should get the blame.

What is without doubt is that conservatives and Tea Party Hateriots have fully embraced the language of violence in the political rhetoric. Every function was an opportunity to have gun-totting mama grizzly invoke the Revolution and violence. There were calls by Sarah Palin to "not retreat, reload" and Palin's "Target the 20". Michele Bachmann wanted her constituents "armed and dangerous" over the Heathcare law Giffords voted for. Sharron Angle urged her supporters to "Use Second Amendment Remedies" to remove Harry Reid. And from Republican Catherine Crabill, "We have a chance to fight this battle at the Ballot Box before we have to resort to the Bullet Box". The use of violence or the threat of violence to effect political change is known as terrorism.

But it's not just conservative bloggers who are actively talking about Violence and Overthrow of the Government.

I hope they do feel threatened. Attempts at peaceable protests have been met at turns by feigned ignorance, then mockery, then attacks on the character and motives of those would not sit quietly by. Perhaps it will take a serious review of our capacity for violence to get them to realize we shall not surrender our individual liberties to their lust for power.

High level Republican Bureaucrats have urged conservatives to violence as well. Here are the fact free musings of Ford and Reagan cabinet members Ernest S. Christian and Gary Robbins in their article; Will Washington's Failures Lead to Second American Revolution?

Conservatism is Terrorism. Get used to it.

Update:
Predictably, the Right Wing blogs and their insane adherets are quick to disavow and act as though their bloody invocation to violence and terrorism had nothing to do with this, as they always do. And, this is another part of the problem. When Glenn Beck styles himself a Progressive Hunter and preaches violence against the Tides Foundation or the ACLU or the President everyone shoould fear that someone may act upon the apocalyptic ravings of the domestic terrorists at Faux News.
