Let's turn down the vicious rhetoric and do what we can to handle

Many people have stated that Palin's "Targets" were in bad taste and
could be all the motivation for a mentally disturbed individual needs to
push them over the edge, then these same people go out of their way to
try to be more offensive then Palin's "target" rhetoric.

Why is that? Why should one try to take advantage of a tragedy to
highlight the perceived problems of those we disagree.

I feel sorry for the loved ones of those hurt and killed by this madman.
I feel more sorry for society that uses a tragedy to score political
points. We will see this from both liberals and conservative unless we
all say enough is enough.

Isn't it time we all grew up?

These problems aren't perceived. The rhetoric of violence is
constantly promoted and stoked by Fox News and right wing radio.

This obviously deranged kid was able to purchase ammo in one Walmart
after being refused by another.

I don't recall anyone shouting "kill him" at a Obama rally during the
presidential campaign. Sarah Palin continually stoked the fire. We
think we're so far from Nazis but we all saw the potential for idiots
to act out during that campaign.

This event is no surprise to anyone who's been paying attention.

I, for one, am ****ing tired of this bull**** and the excuses the
right uses to deflect responsibility.

Meanwhile, not one of them are denouncing the violent rhetoric.

No, right wing leaders like Limbaugh use it to further charge up his
base, which happens to also be the base of the Republican party.

Are we going to have open warfare in this country?
