Holy Hatefest!… Only 15% Agree With Libs That Heated Rhetoric Caused Tucson Shootings

Despite the constant media smears this week – only 15% of Americans believe heated rhetoric caused the Tucson shootings.

Far left Sheriff Dupnik was wrong.

Only 15% of Americans believe that heated rhetoric had anything to do with the shootings Saturday by a leftwing pothead that killed 6 people in Tucson.

Maybe the state-run media will remember this next time before they start smearing conservatives after a mass murder.
Quinnipiac reported:

Saturday's shooting of Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, in which six people were killed, could not have been prevented, 40 percent of American voters say in a Quinnipiac University national poll released today. Another 23 percent blame the mental health system, while 15 percent say it was due to heated political rhetoric and 9 percent attribute the tragedy to lax gun control.

American voters say 52 – 41 percent that "heated political rhetoric drives unstable people to commit violence," the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University poll finds. Liberals rather than conservatives are more responsible for such rhetoric, voters say 36 – 32 percent.

Voters surveyed just before the Martin Luther King Day holiday say 31 – 21 percent that the United States is a safer place for political figures today than during Dr. King's era, with 45 percent saying things are about the same.

Sheriff Dupnik needs to resign.

Vile Anti-Palin Posters Plastered on San Francisco Streets

Of course, the fact that Sarah Palin had absolutely nothing to do with the shooting spree that killed 6 people by a left-wing pothead
But, since when did facts matter to these unhinged loons?

NBC Bay Area reported:

Despite President Obama's speech about healing, shared responsibility and shared pain, conservative pundit Sarah Palin is plastered, unflatteringly, along one San Francisco street (so far).

The posters — found and publisehd by SFist.com — espouse "Enrage them with fear until they feel justified in their violence."

Granted, Palin has brought even more spotlight on herself with a recent diatribe against "irresponsible journalists."

Maybe the president's message stressing the strength of our words and how we use them will stick … like a poster to a wall.

And, of course, the state-run media finds absolutely nothing wrong with this vile attack on conservative Sarah Palin.

Figures. White House Blames Pep Rally On University of Arizona

The White House wants you to believe that they had nothing to do with the planning of the Tucson pep rally this week even though the president, the First Lady and several top members of Congress attended the event.
Of course, that's utter nonsense.

Every shooting memorial needs a special T-shirt.

Workers place shirts on chairs before a memorial service for the victims of Saturday's shootings at McKale Memorial Center on the University of Arizona campus Wednesday, Jan. 12, 2011. (AP)

The AP reported:

Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs said Thursday he and other aides didn't expect the president's remarks at the school's basketball arena to receive as much rousing applause as it did. Gibbs said the crowd's response, at times cheering and shouting, was understandable.

"I think part of the grieving process is celebrating the lives of those that were lost, and celebrating the miracles of those that survived," he said.

The university said it did the planning with minimal input from the White House. The school paid for the event, including $60,000 for 20,000 T-shirts bearing the words "Together We Thrive," which were handed out for free. The money will not come student tuition, fees or tax dollars.

Well before Obama arrived, the atmosphere had become celebratory. People lined up for hours, and when the doors finally opened about two hours before the start, a huge cheer went up and the crowd surged into the arena.

Together we thrive.

Pic of the day: Gas prices under Bush and Obama

We're in trouble:
From the Heritage Foundation via Instapundit:
Fact: President Barack Obama's Energy Secretary Steven Chu wants to "figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe." At the time he made the statement, gas cost $7 – $8 a gallon in Europe.
Fact: Since taking office, President Obama's entire energy agenda has made a gallon of gas more expensive:
Congress was overrun by Democrats in part because the establishment MSM tied high gas prices to Bush. With Obama in the Oval Office, not a boo or peep from these same media types. Related: Shell CEO: Get ready for $5 Gas by 2012

UPDATE: From Instapundit:
WHY THEY'D RATHER TALK ABOUT SARAH PALIN (CONT'D): $5 a gallon gas? Washington insiders are wondering if the next real economic crisis facing President Obama is when gasoline prices spike to $4 or $5 per gallon. At today's press briefing, a White House press spokesman rebuffed queries about the possibility saying 'there are many people that would get upset at me if I started to opine on oil and gas prices, so I won't.'"

Not Joke- New Study Claims Global Warming Caused The Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire?


It looks as if the climate change moonbats are working on a brand new scare tactic. The new scenario is that global climate has driven major changes in human civilization before, and if we don't do something it will lead to the decline of Western Civilization (as if the career of Justin Bieber hasn't already started the decline).

The study conducted by Ulf Buentgen, of the Swiss Federal Research Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research examined tree rings to determine which years had lots of rain making it a good year for agriculture. The study published in the weekly journal, Science suggests that mild summers may have been the key to the rise of the Roman Empire—and that prolonged droughts, cold snaps, and other climate changes might have played a part in historical upheavals, from the barbarian invasions that brought about Rome's collapse to the Black Death that wiped out much of medieval Europe.

Good growth by oak and pine trees in central Europe in the past 2,500 years signalled warm and wet summers and coincided with periods of wealth among farming societies, for instance around the height of the Roman empire or in medieval times.

Periods of climate instability overlapped with political turmoil, such as during the decline of the Roman empire, and might even have made Europeans vulnerable to the Black Death or help explain migration to America during the chill 17th century.

Climate shifts that affected farm output were factors in "amplifying political, social and economic crises," said Ulf Buentgen.
So far that all seems reasonable, now the crazy part:
The study said the evidence, helping back up written records that are sparse in Europe more than 500 years ago, "may challenge recent political and fiscal reluctance" to slow projected climate change in the 21st century.

Modern societies seem less vulnerable but "are certainly not immune" to climate change, especially because migration "will not be an option in an increasingly crowded world," they wrote.

The U.N. panel of climate experts says that greenhouse gases, mainly from burning fossil fuels, will lead to more droughts, floods, heatwaves and rising sea levels that could swamp low-lying island states.
These guys are supposed to be smart right? Now if all of this climate change described in the study happened hundreds an in cases thousands of years ago, that was before man made machines started putting the exhaust of fossil fuels into the atmosphere causing this supposed global warming that is giving the world this extra cold winter. Sounds like a great argument that the climate change is created by nature not man.
The study said: "Wet and warm summers occurred during periods of Roman and medieval prosperity. Increased climate variability from AD 250-600 coincided with the demise of the western Roman empire and the turmoil of the migration period."

"Distinct drying in the 3rd century paralleled a period of serious crisis in the western Roman empire marked by barbarian invasion, political turmoil and economic dislocation in several provinces of Gaul," it said.

Temperatures and rainfall only returned to levels of the Roman period in the early 800s, around the time when new kingdoms consolidated in Europe.

The Black Death bubonic plague of the mid-14th century, for instance, was during an unstable, wet period. "From other studies we know that a more humid environment is more supportive for the dispersal of plague," Buentgen said. 
OK Class what did we learn? Wet weather may have contributed to the spread of the bubonic plague, and disingenuous scientists may have contributed to the spread of the global warming hoax plague.

New York Times wrongly suggests Tucson shooter is pro-life

Ann Coulter, of all people, makes a heck of a catch in her latest column. So here's what ABC News reported about Loughner's time in community college: One Pima Community College student, who had a poetry class with Loughner later in his college career, said he would often act "wildly inappropriate." "One day [Loughner] started...

US Based Muslim Terror Org. To Muslim Community "Don't Talk To The FBI"

by Scott Baker



US Based Muslim Terror Org. To Muslim Community "Don't Talk To The FBI": "

Two years ago the word guilty was read in a Dallas court room a total of 108 times, as a jury convicted the Holy Land foundation, and each of the associated defendants of raising money to fund Hamas terrorism. Implicated a long with those convicted was supposed civil rights organization CAIR, the Council on American-Islamic Relations which lobbies the government from its headquarters in Washington DC. CAIR was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land case as evidence in the trial showed them to be a offspring of the same Muslim Brotherhood who created Hamas and other terrorist groups.



With CAIRs background as an arm of a world-wide terrorist network within the United States, it is not surprising that they have a poster created to tell Muslims to avoid any connection with the FBI.









The poster above was used to announce a February 9th event at the East Side Cultural Center in Oakland.

The poster was designed in the late 1970s or early 1980s and has been reproduced by various groups and activists since then in response to alleged harassment by the FBI and to protest grand jury subpoenas.

“I think it’s subject to misinterpretation,” spokesman Ibrahim Hooper told Fox News Radio when speaking about the poster. “We decided out of extreme caution to take it down.”
Misinterpretation? What could be misinterpretation? Did they mean build a fence instead of build a wall? Oh, I know when they said "Don't Talk To The FBI" they meant US Muslims shouldn't talk but whisper. Come on this is the same double-speak CAIR pulls over the eyes of TV hosts when they appear to claim that Islamic terrorism has nothing to do with Muslims.

Hooper conceded the poster “crosses the line,” but refused to renounce the artwork and blamed critics for fomenting what he called a manufactured controversy.



“The entire American-Muslim community is under the microscope right now with a cottage industry of Muslim bashers,” he said. “We’re used to this kind of attack by the Islamophobic hate machine and in this case there is some justification in terms of the possibility of misinterpretation of this poster.”
Ah, old faithful, Islamophobia.



However, former FBI assistant director Bill Gavin told Fox News Radio the poster is sending the wrong message to the Muslim community.



“It sends out a real negative attitude to the Islamic community of what the FBI is really all about,” Gavin said. “This is just a propaganda tool to try and thwart an active investigation into criminal acts by a would-be terrorist group.”



“Why wouldn’t you talk to the FBI,” Gavin wondered. “If, in fact, there is something being done to destroy the image of Islam in the United States, then it should be stopped. We should put a positive face on Islam -- not Islamic extremists.”
Aye, as they say there's the rub because anytime any media out interviews people from CAIR that is exatcly what they are doing putting a positive face on Islamic extremists.
