via Trace Gallagher, being interviewed by Sean Hannity.
Not sure what’s going on here, but I thought it worth mentioning. Also worth mentioning: Giffords is able to move and respond to simple commands (Gallagher intimated on both on the left and right side) suggesting that she’s able to process language (her eloquence brain seems unaffected) and retains gross motor function.
Developing…
Blockade?
They have a navy?
I’m pretty sure that won’t meet with Sheriff Dunderhead’s standards…
Could be related to the thing linked by newrouter here.
Blockade was Gallagher’s term, mojo.
they’re gonna get in trouble they keep that up
Well, if the lefties can gin up another smear-talking point they’ll have a trifecta, since Tom “the Hammah” DeLay just got sentanced to 3 years for money laundering.
No doubt he will be somehow transformed into a “Tea-Party leader” before the evening news airs.
And of course combative and probably violent too…
According to FauxNewz, the FBI is inside and talking to the parents, no violence occurred.
I wonder if we’ll hear that Sherrif Dupnik knew that the shooter had previously made death threats ( http://tiny.cc/zdbrh ).
Kind of makes his jump to blame Palin all the more clearer; transparency as it were-of the CYA variety…
Question: wouldn’t that make his red-herring mud-slinging re: Palin some form of (gasp) “hate speech”?
I-I-I think I’m gettin’ the vapors…
Ah, so it’s “barricade” he wanted.
This mook gets *paid* for using language huh?
I found a link to AZCentral about this. They used “blockade” too.
I’ll bet whoever originally used “blockade” in this context probably also uses “decimate” to mean “obliterate.”
david frum is a scum bag. that is all.

The lie is and always has been that there is a connection between the electoral map — which used completely common terminology and graphics — and the shooting.
no – I think more often you see the lie constructed such that Palin’s map and et cetera are part of an invisible dark cloud of intemperate rhetoric what occasionally alights hither and thither, sparking violence amongst unstable yobs like Mr. Jared.
Far be it from me to contradict ‘feets when it comes to lies about Palin. He’s our resident expert on such!
“sparking violence amongst unstable yobs like Mr. Jared.”

Yeah, the news on Gabby Giffords is hopeful. I’d really like to hear from her…though I’m in no rush, naturally.
I just noticed the “Add my location” button on the new Twitter website looks just like those alleged crosshairs that were on Sarah Palin’s map.
I’ll be in my bunker.
Penn Jillette is All Over This. Most of these are in response to other tweets. See if you can guess the original content (in no particular order):
– Apparently 12%+ unemployment and a 4 trillion dollar deficit exists only in “the fevered Republican imagination”.
– The Left’s days are numbered.
“…joining us now via satellite is Kathy Lee Gifford, who almost shares the last name of the Arizona senator. Kathy, your thoughts on this weekend’s events…”
“Targeted tax cuts” seem popular in certain [crop] circles.
er, Arizona congresswoman…
– You can always tell when your opponent is getting desperate.
And of course the Tweeps have started the #NewTone hashtag to suggest proper terminology:
I’m sorry, but the crosshairs/crop marks argument is just silly. The districts were targeted. Everyone knew what was meant. There’s nothing wrong with using crosshairs in such a context, so let’s not pretend that they were something else.
and yet no one will use them anymores I bet
check out the “scary freaks'” mugshot
link
It is silly yes and at the same time it isn’t as they are two different things which have different looks. The crosshairs seen through a rifle scope do not appear as the ones on the map.
This however is not confusing at all.
The “blockade” or “barricade” at the parent’s home was a piece of plywood.
Seriously, you cannot make this shit up.
Would it still be a barricade if it were made out of cardboard?
The mind boggles.

As to the newest meme to be vomited up:
Sorry, the right has brought this upon itself;
It isn’t just the Sarah Palin ad, or Sharon Angle’s “Second Amendment solution”, but the entire conservative mediashpere [sp] is drenched in violent rhetoric and imagery.
For the last 40 years conservatives have worked overtime to portray themselves as rough, tough manly men in the pride of their manhood, being gun totin’ patriots as opposed to the dainty effete liberal wimps.
Quick, when was the last time you heard of a conservative advocacy group with the words “peace”, “justice” or “fairness” in their title? Those words are almost exclusively the property of liberals, and conservatives scorn them.
They have spent 40 years branding themselves as the party of the NRA, the party of the military, of get tough on crime; its too late now to suddenly try to convince us all they are actually the party of peaceful flower children.
Posted by the usual trollby at JOM. Yaoi Boy should be getting his marching orders on this right now.
You are now guilty if you have made fun of the left as pussies, elites, peaceniks, social justice sobs or any other attack that has been foisted on the body politic by the evil right wing hatmongers.
Game set and match, now shut up!
I would also note that we are drenched, drenched I tells ya in that evil blood libel. By our own hand. Time to commit hari-kari to atone.
Hmph.
Bottom line for me: People died at the hands of a nutjob. Democrats and leftoids responded immediately, full-throatedly, and gleefully “HOOOOORAAAAAY! NOW WE CAN GET OUR AGENDA THROUGH!”
The rest of it is details and posturing.
On another note: Jeff got a top-line cite at Memeorandum. It probably doesn’t mean much in terms of hits, but maybe things are looking up a bit, hmmm?

Oh, and I deeply resent being characterized as a “hatmonger”. I have never in my life sold a hat of any type to anyone.

Ric
I hate to be so opportunistic, but I just watched Rep. Hank Johnson utter the phrase “a man with such obvious mental impairment” and I can’t help but want it to go viral. God forgive me.
Sorry bout that… you hatemonger. You know you avoid hats cause you’re a hat-ist. Hats should be given their own protected status, STAT!

Mr. Pablo they’re giving him the Unabomber’s lawyer. I fear that in itself is enough to stigmatize him as a loony.
– WTF does STAT mean anyway. I know it means “and get your ass in gear” on whatever is being hurried, but the acronym itself remains one of those jargon mysteries.
it’s latin for do it now please
more mocking please

as in hey hairdo pardon Mr. Delay stat please
“”Stat” in medical parlance is actually not an acronym; it’s short for statim, the Latin word for immediately. “
“Let’s just face the facts. Leftists are by definition mentally unhinged, so we might as well just stop talking about politics and leave them in charge of the asylum they’ve created, in peace.”
– I’m jiggy wid leaving them in charge of their own asylums, sat Hollyweird, San Fran Pilosi-frisco, Portland, and maybe the entire states of Or-eee-gon and Calipotpornicate, just as long as they stay in their own padded cells.
“as in hey hairdo pardon Mr. Delay stat please”
is mr delay a person you do/don’t like?
I just think it’s wrong to take away a man’s freedom for something so petty. It shows you the extent to which the failshit government of Texas values a man’s freedom, and that should worry the rest of this failshit little country very much indeed.

Isn’t Delay like a bug-killing Christer what whored himself out like a hoochie to Dancing With The Stars?
not per se Mr. Froman
Thank you. I’d always thought it was something like “Sooner Than AnyThing”.

i dislike the libertarians in their efforts to be “fair and balanced”. it is the left in this country that wants the fed. gov’t make you buy health ins.’ certain light bulbs, toilets, et al. these folks are a menace to liberty. for us socons we say hey let’s have a debate about those things and resolve them the democratic/representative way and not by “winning” by going to leftists/statist on the court.
I don’t rightly understand them Texas folk. All seem kinda dumb and goony and Christy from my big city ways point of view. Even horribler than those Alaska peoples. But I reckon Delay may be of better cloth. My buddy likes living in Austin, so Texas has that going for it.
I used to live in Austin I heart it very dearly. That’s my favorite. I like Dallas and Houston to live in too. I like visiting San Antonio.
Jared Padelecki is from Texas and Leighton Meester was born there too you know and they’re the future together they would be unstoppable.
Reminds of…nevermind.
They both had fascinations with rearranging the letters in words. I don’t know that he ever humped statues in public, though.

Oh, Donald. Sorry bout that. You got iced! If you could get up here, you’re welcome to some chili, Sweetwater Ale and Comcast’s best HD. We only got 10 inches (heh) of the white fluffy stuff.
I’ve got a cold, and I never get colds.

Ice. Every where.
And no vodka. :(
You’re in Atlanta, Donald? Hopefully you’ve a gas fireplace so as not to worry about frozen pipes.
no claritin D I forgot about my FSA til the end of the year so over Christmas I got lots of mucinexes cause those were the most expensive so I figured they were the best and robitussins and nyquils and some antihistamines. Also abrevas but that was for a couple friends and my sister who are cursed with face herpes. It’s kinda spensive. Also I got first aid kids. Next year cause of Bumblefuck’s dramatic improvement of the health care system I’m not doing the FSA cause it just becomes a huge pain in the ass and fuck him and his nonsense.
War Damn Eagle!
We lucked up as far as the ice. We got so little that the azaleas didn’t even notice. The snow on the other hand, I’ve never seen this much snow in Atlanta. I remember Macon getting walloped once back in the 70s or 80s and Atlanta missing out, but this is the first time I’ve ever had to shovel snow off the deck so’s I could see which steps were which.
Senoia serr8d. Around the corner from Mcgeehe. And too far to walk to Maguires.
The film Drop Dead Diva at Maguires.
I got the sicks the weekend before Christmas and I’m still feeling puny. It’s a really nasty sicks this time. Plenty of rest, lots of spicy food and the Mucinex/Nyquil/Tylenol cocktail finally mostly conquered the thing. Probably cause I ODd on the meds, but I prefer sleeping 20 hours a day than coughing up a lung and having snot flowing down my face. It’s not a good look.
Geez. this game is gonna be crazy.
Taranto:
To be sure, Saturday’s horror casts the Palin map in an unappealing light. It would be in poor taste to continue displaying it. Accordingly, SarahPAC quickly removed it from its website. But it is all over the Web, disseminated far and wide by people who purport to believe that the document they are distributing is an incitement to violence.
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703667904576072840602094576.html?mod=WSJ_Opinion_MIDDLETopOpinion
i bet it’s still up on her facebook.
yes the map thingy Mr. Taranto says would be in poor taste to continue displaying is still being displayed on Sarah Palin’s facebook
and frankly I think she should leave it up it is what it is and like Mr. T says it’s everywhere and everybody involved has bigger problems including her
“the document they are distributing is an incitement to violence.”
was that cloward or piven or ayers or wright or sirhan or the symbolese lib army or alinsky or lee harvey oswald or stalin or mao or che or chuck manson or squeeky frum(sp) or ward churchill or noam chumpsky or the weather underground or….
did we ever find out who tim mcveigh’s accomplices were? like the middle eastern guy? that stuff went quiet like reno’s waco and vince foster and ron brown. down the dnc mem hole.

Actually, I think HF has come round to my way of thinking. But I could be wrong. It is what it was before the tragedy.
Ric,
BINGO! Thank you for putting into words what has been irritating my Nyquil-fogged head for the last 48 hours.
Cynical political opportunism, it’s the Democrat Way.

I have maybe made a mistake is my assessment of your avatar, because for that to be the case, you’d have to be at least somewhat rational, but I think youre frankly schizophrenic, and no that’s not an amateur opinion and not intended as an uninformed or insulting remark, you clearly make no sense and are unable to communicate. I really do care.
Seek help before you hurt yourself or others or start taking your medications again, please. Maybe, it’d be better for some there be an infinite source of haldol or cogentin then fiat currency.
He was just banned today when ATS starting connecting the dots as to who erad3 is and it is Jared Lee Loughner. Dude is just a deranged man, no political motivation imo.
Freaky!
I’d blockquote it but I always screw it up.
see what Sarah’s allies don’t seem to get yet is that having to defending her on this point – the question of whether or not she incited a politically-motivated mass murder – is profoundly unpresidential … it moves her out of that realm lickety-split, which is very fast, and firmly ensconces her in the realm of tabloid culture. This is rapidly becoming THE lens through which people – particularly independents – see her I think.
and that’s not my fault it’s just an observation
“see what Sarah’s allies don’t seem to get yet is that having to defending her on this point – the question of whether or not she incited a politically-motivated mass murder”
thank you david frum
Many folk only saw Ronaldus Magnus as a tabloid feature. He was GASP! divorced. Can’t have that in the WH.
This game is awesome.
Except the socks. Those suck.
You’re being tiresome again, hf. All politicians use the same rhetoric, but only the right gets called out on it. Same bullshit, different day.
It’s like you don’t get the point of this site at all, really.
yea hf you got sarah’s back. hahaha ha!
sounds like hf is channeling precious Ezra Klein who was trying to explain his Sat WaPo piece to Guy Benson on Hewitt’s show this afternoon.
Oh, Ezra doesn’t blame Palin (or Rush or Beck) for Loughner OHNOES but people should THINK a little more about what they say or write because NATURALLY something is amiss that so many people IMMEDIATELY jumped to the conclusion this nasty [rightwing] rhetoric was to blame…
No no no, Palin is not to blame, but if people think she is, she should of been “more careful” with her words.
“Progressives live in the past when it comes to shaping the message”
no that’s not what I think Darleen I think she’s getting screwed hard on this deal – and that it will have an impact – but I also think there’s tons of less-hapless possible candidates out there that Team R doesn’t have to endlessly prop up and defend – especially one what is primarily a not particularly articulate cable news hoochie – not an actual officeholder
The MFM thinks Palin is the frontrunner so she is getting the MFM beat-down. When someone else becomes the front-runner that person will get the beat-down.
It doesn’t matter who it is, hf. Really. I wish it did matter, but the past is prologue. We’ve seen this before, we’ll see it again, Palin or no Palin.
Hillary confirms that it is 1995 for them.
I’m not sure people like Sarah Palin because she is presidential or not I think they like her because she is real.
The last “Republican” who didn’t get shit all the time was McCain (until after the primaries). That worked out really well for us.
These days “presidential” means you’re a pompous, narcissistic ass.
I’m pretty sure there was a DEATH THREAT! in my comments somewhere, if you add them all up for the day and move all the letters around correctly.
Romney is definitely the mostest presidential by that measure
I don’t like Romney. He seems greasy to me.
I don’t like him cause he’s been hovering about for bumble’s entire presidency saying me next me next me next like a goddamn four year old wanting to ride the elephant outside Piggly Wiggly
“especially one what is primarily a not particularly articulate cable news hoochie”
like what oberdude? matthews? maddcow? saregent shultz?

If Summer Glau were to bring you your slippers, would you want them?
Possibly — after you regained consciousness — by which time she would have gone.
But was she there? Smelling the slippers won’t tell that. It won’t relieve the headache either.

When it came to sight pictures I always preferred a PIPper to crosshairs…
Tied!
Classic game except for the ghey neon leg warmers.

That was the best example of a “drinking bourbon on the porch ‘if Summer Glau’ game” a few fellows and I played one goofy night cranky-d. Anyhow, that’s the one I remembered.

So now Auburn is going to get an edge on recruiting even more of Georgia’s players and Mark Richt is going to get another pass for playing in a tough conference.
Explain to me how this is a good thing, Stephanie? ;p
Also, Mother’s Finest is playing at a really cool club here in town around the 21st if anyone is interested.
BMoe !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mother’s Finest is still kicking it!!!!!
We need to party, Y’all!!!!!
And Mark Richt still fucking sucks.
Mother’s Finest… Awesome!!!!
I’m in.
We’ll have to check with Donald and McG and see if we can lure them up north of I-20.
And maybe bribe JD to come on down.
It’s a Friday night. Woo-hoo!
OH and how is that a good thing? What’s the good word? To Hell with Georgia!
And yes, Mark Richt still sux. And I fucking hate that commercial with him and his ditzy wife yelling Go DAWGS. GAH!
I miss Athens. Definitely my favorite college town.
Details.
Anybody that needs a winter break this is the ticket. I have it on the best authority that this band still fucking rockz, and they are playing in what is probably the best motel lounge in the country.
Get a room. Get drunk. Get your head blown off. For cheap.
That’s the hotel where my cousin had his wedding reception last May. He’s in the seminary. It was dry and friggin boring. We went next door to the next wedding reception and had a blast.
And yes, they still fuckin rock. Saw em at Music Midtown before the libs shut THAT down.
I’m in. I guess I’ll make a trip up there next week for a ticket. I’d go for a room, but the scratch is lite this month.
The last time I went to Athens (we do mean Georgia, right? There’s one in damn near ever Southern state, seems like) I wound up having to buy four brand new tires for my truck. Made in China.
Y’all are going to have to work pretty damn hard to top that.
I adore Mark Richt. I really think he’s going to pan out for Georgia, eventually.
Just be patient.
Just a few miles to my south too.
If Gator fans can be patient with Richt, why not da Bulldog fans?
Just be patient.
