The Politicized Mind David Brooks' latest column.
Brooks is fairly clearly calling his fellow NYT pundit, Paul Krugman, an @sshat. Having read Krugman's total tripe on this subject, I agree with Brooks. |

The accusation that the Palin advertisement contributed to the shooting is wrong, and reprehensible. On the other hand, her claim that the crosses are a 'surveyor's symbol' is what we would call in the pre-nuance era, a big fat stinking lie. |

Good editorial. After the calls for reason and information in the Fort Hood shooting (in which an eyewitness saw the alleged murderer yell "Allahu Akhbar!"), the rush to political condemnation in this case has been nothing short of astounding. If it weren't for hypocrisy... |

Any reference to targets or guns is clearly to incite violence, like Obama vowing to "bring a gun to (the) knife fight." What I really like is how political this has become - it's the most sickening piece of this - either side using it as a platform for ANY sort of political message. Hundreds of innocent people on this planet will be murdered today by bullet, machete, and worse - and nobody will care, because it won't support their agenda of control. |

Of course, he omits the fact that the Communist Manifesto was on the list of his favorite books. He omits the fact that this guy had a history of making death threats WHICH THE SHERIFF IGNORED. He has an agenda to push, and doesn't want several murders and an attempted assassination to go to waste. At least he got WMD into the mix. Good job, Mr. Pitt, good job. But you forgot Katrina. He also forgot the |

I agree. The cynicism, right across the political spectrum, is unbelievable, even for someone as jaundiced with politics as I am. |

Yes, because this had everything to do with vitriolic politics - just like Klebold and Harris were fine young men until they were exposed to vitriolic heavy metal music. |

There are all sorts of non-violent activities with targets. |

I'm being sarcastic - this issue has precisely zero to do with politics, outside of the politicians and talking heads *making* it about politics. |

Berated for what? Or do you think this issue has something to do with politics, and therefore mild berating is indicated? |

i don't like that type of aggressive rhetoric... it's way out there in hate land. If I were Sarah's mother, I'd certainly tell her to tone it down, and I wouldn't wait for an opportunity to present itself. I'd have been calling her the minute I saw that map. and yes, the incidence is a political issue because Gabrielle suffered the onslaught of teaparty aggression and commented on it herself... saying she felt threatened. She also commented on Sarah's map. She said it first and she was the one shot. It's not like the media is bringing it up to be mean. I guess you consider Gabrielle's comments inappropriate because she wasn't shot by Palin? Edited by apple, Jan 11 2011, 02:29 PM.

I must just be an idiot, because I still don't see what's wrong with the map that has bullseyes... I play violent video games, own firearms, and have so far been able to not shoot people though, so something may be horribly wrong with me. I'm being totally serious though - I don't understand what is "hateful" about the map with bullseyes indicating political targets to be voted out?! The shooting is a tragedy, perpetrated by a madman, who was a danger to self and others (clearly), and could have just as easily shot up a 4H fair for unethical treatment of animals. Correlation != Causation, and the fact that he had channeled his own mental illness into political ideology, does not suggest that political ideology is the source of his dementia, and ultimately, action. So, I politely disagree - the issue is not political. And to repeat myself, politics are no more to blame, than heavy metal was to blame for Columbine. |

sigh.. lots of people feel the way i do. pundits and politicians are calling for both parties to tone down the aggressive rhetoric. Kids who play video games are desensitized to that type of thing. If you don't want to think it is a political issue that is fine with me. I have no problem with your viewpoint. |

I understand that your view is widely held. I just don't see bullseyes as "agressive rhetoric" - perhaps I'm totally oblivious. |

You are a good guy. People vary. People without guns vary. People with them vary. Some with guns are idiots whom may be influenced in a dangerous way by the map with gun site bullseye over location of "targets". The map was a bad idea. If it was okay Sarah would not have removed it from her website after the shooting. |

Removing it from her website is hardly an objective indicator of whether or not the sign is objectively "ok." When your chosen career is a popularity contest (literally), you have little choice but to at least be aware of people's thoughts and ideas if you want to be successful. If seeing bullseyes is a call to action for every schizophrenic on the planet, it's a marvel that more shootings don't happen at TARGET! |
