Once again a sick act of monstrous proportions has happened by a member of the hard right wing of the "Republican" Party. Someone has taken his version of 'The Law' into his own hands, feeling fully justified from his mentally skewed perspective that Might makes Right, and he was Right. Now a number of members of the other party and several innocent bystanders are dead.
He sited (apparently) the Ad from Sarah Palin's political action committee (called SARAHpac) that has a hit list of those of members of Congress they want to 'take out' with targets on the various states where these 'hits' are supposed to take place. They (the Right Wing) will say that Palin's illustration had nothing to do with the actions committed on Saturday.
But it's sickly ridiculous that the Far Right site their freedom of speech to say whatever they want (even to the point of incitement to murder), and then move to curtail anyone else's who doesn't believe as they do. This has now reached its peak in this outright incitement of its most "Incitement to Riot" is the political equivalent of shouting "Fire!" in a crowded theater (the furthest extent of Freedom of Speech allowed in our society).
They who shout the loudest of their Second Amendment Right to Bear Arms, are usually the ones using those arms to exact the 'vengeance of the Lord' or just out to make their mark on society. Those who champion this 'right' are usually the first ones to use those "constitutionally protected" weapons on others.
No amount of apologies or condolences by Palin and her Ultra-Right Wing ilk over the next few days will bring back the lives of the 9 year-old and the others killed on Saturday. No amount of justification can be used, for this act and those surely to follow (copycats portraying themselves as "patriots"). And no amount of spinning this into left wing conspiracy theater on the TV and radio shows of the Neo-Con and just plain Con wing of the nuthouse party, will be able to erase the blood stain on the Republican Party (the God Offal Party).
Sarah Palin and all the others (hear me, FOX?) who spout this crackpot form of 'free speech' should all be held as coconspirators to murder, as well as incitement to murder, both of which are 'assesory before the fact ' in Capital murder cases. They can justify these acts as "righteous vengeance of the Lord" all they want. But murder is still murder, no matter what the cause.
"It's Time to Take a Stand," says the ad. I say that for Palin and her kind, it's time to take The Stand and answer for her crime.
