Any Pause In Harsh Rhetoric May Be Short-Lived

Friday, January 14, 2011


There was absolutely nothing remotely suggesting it was a national emergency, a t3rr0r!st attack on the nation, nor even any connection to the Tea Party (which even if there had been that level of threat, responsibl­e government leaders wouldn't want to evoke a hysterical response by yelling "Fire" in this crowded and stressed theater), but the White House went into 'BushChene­y on 9/11'-mode to exploit and play on the public's fears by releasing images like these.  

If this wasn't bad enough, in the hours and days following, with all informatio­n to the contrary that this was a standard FBI-profil­e kind of mentally disturbed lone shooter, the White House and Democrats  fanned out over the air waves to try to connect Loughner to the Tea Party and to Republican­s, "the result of overheated political rhetoric",  and "all Limbaugh's and Palin's fault":

By 4:46 PM EST on the day of the sh00tings (1-8-2011)­, Obama had moved to the White House State Dining Room to make this statement to the nation, and followed-u­p by official statements from these members of the Obama administra­tion: Vice President Joe BidenHomeland Security Secretary Janet NapolitanoAttorney General Eric Holder, and NASA Administra­tor Charles Bolden

On Monday, 1-10-2011, I turned on my television to these images.

Two hours later, Obama apparently felt he needed to conflate images of 'president­ial leadership­' and the sh00tings by turning the subject again to the tragedy in Arizona when he and France's president (Nicholas Sarkozy) faced the traditiona­l photo op gaggle after their meeting in the Oval Office.   

And then that national memorial service political pep rally, where Obama continued to promote the false notion that Loughner's actions were the result of Republican­s' partisan political divisivene­ss.  

Michelle Obama stretched it out for another day with her 'open letter to parents'.
