major players in the intense resurgence of hate in the past two years. Those he encouraged in the tea party, and the gun carrying, second amendment fanatics that declared they would rather die than have their guns pulled from their hands are all his creation. Yet, for the last few days there has been no comment from or about him that has hit the airwaves or printed pages of the MSM. He wil ressurect Palin and she will again go around the country being the tea party darling. It starts with her interview will Hannity which will be praised with bleeding hearts acting like she never did a thing.

2. I believe the real people that are respnsible for this should be front and center
And if they really feel that what they have created is good and right, then they should stop up and defend it. The Koch Brothers, Dick Armey and those that have called for assignation of individuals (Julian Assange is the one that stand out in my mind, should be hounded by the press until they do answer for their actions.

Right this very minute Brent Bozell is on CSPAN making excuses. Apparently he has researched the recent gunman's life and wants to know how a person who didn't watch TV or listen to the news could leave people blaming the poor tea parties for the recent tragedy. He's justifying- that the name calling he engages in is just a-okay because he has been insulted. His twisted logic is hurting my head this early in the morning

But yes, these people should be called out to step up and defend the monster that they have created.

5. I know--I'm watching Bozo Bozell now---he's also pushing the "be afraid of
Loughner's occult activites" meme. He's scared of the booga-booga.

Yes, he's pushing the idea that Dems do more demonizing of the the right than the RW does of the left. What rock has he been under for the last couple of decades? The demonizing of the left by the right has become an accepted part of the political theater, but let the Dems say anything similar, and it's dangerous and uncivil.

Memes are being laid...

4. I agree about Dick Armey and his ilk. K&R!
Dick Armey and others who stirred up more and more hatred and fear in their "genuine grass roots" groups that just happened to remain dormant during Republican administrations should be bearing a lot more of the blame than they are.

It shouldn't be all about Sarah.

8. has anybody seen any of the stuff they used to start the
tea party? mail pieces, videos, email, any of that collateral? by the time the healthcare town halls started erupting i am sure they were all gone. but there must be some trace. dick armey didn't do it all with phone trees. i have wondered about this. who got what? was it the nra? was it the megachurches? who and what?
