Loons Blame Sarah Palin & Glenn Beck for Violence at Oakland Rally For Tucson Victims (Video)

Local leftists rallied in Oakland last night in support of the Tucson shooting victims but more importantly to point out the dangers of conservative speech.
It turned into one of their typical hatefests.
Via The PJ Tatler:

From PJ Media:

Roy Wilson: "Dr. King enters this struggle boldly. He says, 'Violence anywhere is a threat to violence everywhere. An injustice anywhere, is a threat to injustice everywhere. Rhetoric inciting violence anywhere, is a call to rhetoric to incite violence everywhere.'

Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck, others in the Tea Party trend, claim that political events tied to violence and rhetoric tied to violence are not causing the division in our nation. Tens of thousands of African-Americans have been lynched in a sea of rhetoric dripping with racist blood. Workers have been shot down on the picket line, drummed under by the rhetoric of mis-accusations. Students have been shot down protesting for peace under the rhetoric of unamericanism. Tens of thousands of Native Americans have been annihilated under the rhetoric of White American exceptionalism. We have to act. Dr. King says that 'Courage is the ability to go forward in spite of frightening situations. Cowardness' he says, 'is a submissive surrender to circumstance.'

We're asking everyone to ask all of our elected officials at the municipal level, the county level, the state level, the federal government, to pass laws that prohibit the use of rhetoric and actions and campaigns that incite violence. We ask that we all go back to our organizations of faith, our unions, our schools, our high schools, our middle schools, our elementary schools, and create statements demanding that there be communication and debate based on love, based on peace, based on community, based on a stronger democracy. Now, we have to be courageous because some of may say that's just not enough, or why, that might not make a difference. Remember, words make a difference. I've just asked all of us to do some things and put words in the public, put words with the official seal of our government, put words under the titles of our schools, that say "We are family."

Nice peace rally, loons.
