Sarah Palin and the Tea Party. Murderers.

[BanTheGOP]

Saturday, January 8 marks the date that democracy officially died in the United States of America, and that the republican Party has officially become the main organization identification behind such a destructive event. We have a Democratic Party congresswoman who is virtually comatose with a bullet through her brain, a poor little nine-year old girl, the granddaughter of a revered baseball manager, brutally murdered, and a judge murdered, along with several other people, including a congressional aide to Congresswoman Gabriella Giffords. Officially, the suspect in this event was a morose, perhaps mentally unstable 22-year old man who may or may not have acted alone at the scene. That remains to be determined.



What does NOT remain to be determined, however, is the insidious rhetoric displayed ad infinitum by the extreme right wing, topped by a vitreous, frightening graphic of rifle targets on the districts of 20 Democratic congressmen and women. That display was created by none other than Sarah Palin, GOP superstar and presumed presidential candidate in 2012. Such a display, as a MINIMUM, must spell an immediate and disgraceful end to her political career; preferably, she must be investigated by the Justice Department for her unambiguous role in the attempted murder of a congresswoman she deemed an enemy by putting her in the cross-hairs of a rifle.

In a normal world, such an action would immediately condemn such a person to the political grave before the gun-smoke cleared. Certainly, if a republican were shot, the right would IMMEDIATELY (and rightfully, unfortunately) be demanding the HEAD of the Democratic Party official who was responsible for such an action. But we live in a world in which the Right Wing has total control of the media, total control of the rules of argument, and total control of the monetary fund (despite our best intentions of the past two years).

But that is not the case. The murders were 100% responsible by one entity: the republican party. The original instigator to this mess: Ronald Reagan, for creating the original divide between extremist Republicans and normal Americans and other global citizens. The facilitator: George W. Bush, for his expansionism, mass murder, and his utter disregard for democracy and the rule of law in pursuit of corporate profits and greed, along with his corporate man-whore, Dick Cheney.

All during this time, there was a constant divisive and derisive force: the emergence and promotion of hate radio. “Talk” radio is a euphemism for the abrasive, poisonous discourse most demonstrably represented by Rush Limbaugh, with poisonous support from such heathens as Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, and Mike Savage. Finally, this scourge of radio filth, propagated by the absence of an excellent regulator, the Fairness Doctrine removed by Ronald Reagan, resulted in conspiracy theories that are now mainstreamed in the presence of Glenn Beck. All of these destructive influences on our modern society could never have infested their spewing vitriol if the Fairness Doctrine had remained in place, and allowed the proper and methodical transformation from our country as a rabid, capitalistic greed-oriented cesspool of societal ingrates to that of a progressive, just society that champions the advancement of the individual and centralized society over that of a republican-party induced nightmare of unrelenting horror.

But the special circumstances that led to the horrific shooting were such that it would NEVER have happened without the vitriol provided by Mssr.’s Limbaugh, Beck, Hannity, Levin, et al. They were the primary cheerleaders and unabashedly orgasmic-inducing man-whores into creating the atmosphere that their minions relish in. An atmosphere of unabashed financial greed. An atmosphere of unabashed racial divisiveness. An atmosphere of absolute hatred of anything Not White-Bread American.

And someone comes along to harness this atmosphere: a ubiquitous she-wolf, a perpetrator straight from the tundra of a state that best would have been left to Russia, or more properly administered by a more progressive and logical country, Canada, in the first place: Alaska.

Sarah Palin seemingly came out of nowhere to eclipse the scion of our times: George W. Bush. And with good reason: Palin actually represents an unabashed, orgiastic love affair with guns, with oil, with capitalism, and an INSIDIOUS hatred of fairness, progressive values, and the needs and wants of the vast majority of humanity on this planet. Palin not only represents evil, she is as CLOSE to being a demonic being as any we’ve had since Dick Cheney. And the wingnuts can’t seem to get enough of her.

She is allowed to shoot innocent animals on TV and then have the gall to show their lifeless, bloody carcasses on the “Learning” channel. She is allowed to kill defenseless moose and spout her views without rebuttal for hours on end. Most troubling, she gets across the point that gun ownership is not only a right, but damn near a REQUIREMENT for US citizenship, and those who don’t own or use guns are themselves un-American.

This leads to her military-arms-caliber campaign against twenty congresspersons last year. Using rifle-scope cross-hairs on each district of the candidates, Palin unashamedly urged her minions to “lock” and “reload” in their zeal to “take out” the candidates. Ostensibly meant to be used in political rhetoric, it does not take a rocket scientist from Cal Tech to note that most people would take such a campaign as an actual, physical threat against those people. If I did the same thing myself, put out a map of Tea Party candidates with cross-hairs and urged my fans here on DU to “lock” and “reload” and “take out” those candidates, you can BET your SWEET BIPPY that the US Secret Service would be all over my ass, taking my stuff, and throwing me harshly in jail next to Bubba. And frankly, I would DESERVE such treatment. You betcha, dad gum it.

But that didn’t happen. And Sarah Palin found her own minion to pull it off. A poor, stupid, ignorant dupe loner who, by the admission of many, listened to Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Mike Savage. One who put out the teabagger-esque missives on his youtube and MySpace pages. One who was, by ANY standard of measurement, the typical Tea Party, Rush Limbaugh brain-dead minion of the far, repressive right.

And it happened. He took a gun, and killed, he maimed, he killed some more.

And in the mind of many decent Americans, it was not Jared Loughner pulling the trigger of his own volition. It was Sarah Palin, through her rhetoric, and through the rhetoric of the talk show heathens, Tea Party candidates, but most importantly, through the financial coffers of the republican party apparatus, who were equally as responsible for perpetrating this murderous onslaught.

The policies of Sarah Palin and the republican Party killed 6 people and left many strewn all over the place, just like Sarah Palin left the carcasses of her dead animal kills all over the place.

A federal judge, blown away just like the moose Palin purports to kill “for dinner.” As if she can’t afford to buy her own veggies.

A progressive congressional aide, blown away, just like the caribou that Palin kills for sport and fun times. As if Palin can’t ski or snowmobile or do snow angels for fun times.

Finally, the body of a nine-year old girl, strewn as bloodily and as heartlessly, as innocent as any lamb that Palin has overtly destroyed with her impressive armory, will always be associated with Palin’s dangerous, and now murderous, assertions. You betcha.

As I type now, with the horrific images of the above along with the dozens of others that Palin’s influence caused, I have absolutely no feeling that deviates in ANY way from hatred. For the first time in my life, I feel absolute hatred for one person. It is not a nice feeling.

Sarah Palin.

She deserves the hatred of ALL decent people. We don’t, as a rule, want to hate, but we must hate when it is deserved. We must hate when it comes to planning our retribution and responses. Finally, we MUST hate when we come across the actual instigator of everything we hold vile and oppressive.

Yes, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, et all must be held accountable for their abuse of the First Amendment, both civilly, and, frankly, with harsh criminal sanctions. That goes without saying.

But without any question, with no ambiguity whatsoever, I accuse and tie in Sarah Palin with her support and influence of this massacre, this REAL terrorist act. And she must pay with her life behind bars, and most certainly, as someone who should always… ALWAYS… be discredited without question for the rest of her life.

Finally, the word “murder” and “assassination” must ALWAYS be associated with Sarah Palin. Her minion may have pulled the trigger, but the perpetrator is always the one who is held responsible in a court of law. No difference here: Sarah Palin is a murderer. No other explanation is reasonable.

And banning the GOP now is almost like shutting the barn door after Palin shot the horse, the goat, and the chickens. But it's something that must be done if we wish to move forward.

1. I agree there should be no place for the Republican Party as currently configured.

I would prefer it be abolished through mass action rather than law.

2. Nice try

But you're not fooling me ;)

3. Palin is a murderer? Please avoid excessive rhetoric.

It can lead to violence.

4. Technically, murder by association is true. Manson is a prime example.

But I'll edit the article to change "murderer" to "murderous instigator" for potential vitriolic concerns. Thanks for your input.

5. It's ironic that the Republican party is "officially" the

party that stands for "personal responsibility". Of course we won't see anything remotely close to responsibility from the GOP and their media minions. If you listen, you'll hear the sound of backpedalling.
