There's plenty of anger and finger-pointing to go around. But, they say change begins "at the top".

Good luck.

James is just another typical kool-aider.
Please forgive me if that is an "offensive, anger provoking, obscene term."

Duh, these two party heads work for the same side ...

Duh, these two party heads work for the same side and it isn't us.

They are like pro wrestlers and the fight of left vs. right is a fake fight.

The people in control work for the banksters and the corporations, not you and I.

They keep us distracted and divided on the sides in the elaborate fake right vs. left fight they created.

I am continually amazed how many smart people fall for their illusion.

James, Did you bother reading some of the rhetoric Obama has spewed? He gets a complete pass on the vitriolic statements he makes to foment hatred of people on the right. Our own congressman, Andre Carson, sprung into action and used the shooting as an excuse to attempt to marginalize those who oppose his radical views. This is the guy who falsely claimed tea party demonstrators yelled racial epithets at him and other black congressmen even after numerous video and eyewitness accounts proved his statements to be untrue. By all accounts, this shooter held Leftist views and was anti-Semitic to boot as are a growing number of people on the radical Left. The Daily Kos just days before Giffords was shot allowed a post saying she was dead to the person posting because she refused to support Nancy Pelosi in the ceremonial vote for Speaker of the House. The Daily Kos blog targeted Giffords for defeat because of her moderate-conservative views. But don't let me confuse you with the facts.

AI: This is all a pretty desperate attempt to spin what happened.

We don't know the shooter's motivations. We suspect he was mentally unstable. But that doesn't give the Right a free-pass on this.

The Right has been fomenting anger, paranoia, conspiracy and hate that is beyond reasonable discourse and disagreement. It's much easier to do when people are unemployed, losing their homes, etc.

The Right whips up this kind of irrational hatred and thinks it's great when rabid citizens shout down public officials at public meetings - but then disclaims responsibility when someone who isn't balanced takes it to far. Up until they pull a trigger they are the "real Americans" that "need to take back this country".

The truth is that there are a lot of borderline people out there. Just look at the number of people who believed the nonsense about "death panels".

Palin, Beck, Limbaugh, etc. are exactly like rap "artists" who get wealthy on the pollution they spew - and then disclaim any responsibility when people shoot each other.
