Copy may not be in its final form. JUAN GONZALEZ: The youngest victim of the Arizona shooting rampage has been laid to rest. More than 2,000 people packed into a Tucson church, and hundreds more lined the road outside, to remember nine-year-old Christina Taylor Green. The third-grade student was born on September 11th, 2001.
The shooting has sparked a national debate across the country about political rhetoric. Giffords won reelection in a tight race against her Tea Party-backed Republican opponent Jesse Kelly, a former Marine who served in Iraq. AMY GOODMAN: Critics have also pointed to comments made by the former Republican candidate for Senate from Nevada, Sharron Angle. We turn now to one of the survivors of the Arizona shooting, Eric Fuller. ERIC FULLER: Once she walked up to me, she said, "I’ll answer your questions, but you have to wait.

By Stephen C. WebsterMonday, October 25, 2010 21:43 EDT Leading the attack on whistleblower web site WikiLeaks, Fox News editorialist and former Bush-era US State Department official Christian Whiton said on Monday that the US should classify the proprietors of WikiLeaks as “enemy combatants,” opening up the possibility of “non-judicial actions” against them. “So far, the Obama administration appears to have been asleep at the wheel in responding to this,” he wrote for FoxNews.com on Monday. “The same is true of the Democratic-controlled Congress, which has no fewer than ten committees of jurisdiction that could be doing something about this—but which are not.”
He proposed a number of actions the US could take to shut down the secret-spilling site for good: 1. The writer’s other recent hits: recommending that Republicans in Congress withhold money from health care recipients, calling for a US-sponsored coup in North Korea and praising Bill O’Reilly’s crusade against National Public Radio.

A 22-year-old Nebraska resident was arrested yesterday for waterboarding his girlfriend as she was tied to a couch, because he wanted to know if she was cheating on him with another man; I wonder where he learned that? There are less dramatic though no less nauseating examples of this dynamic. In The Chicago Tribune today, there is an Op-Ed from Jonah Goldberg — the supreme, living embodiment of a cowardly war cheerleader — headlined: ”Why is Assange still alive? “ It begins this way: I’d like to ask a simple question: Why isn’t Julian Assange dead?
He ultimately concludes that “it wouldn’t do any good to kill him, given the nature of the Web” — whatever that means — and reluctantly acknowledges: ”That’s fine. Christian Whiton, a former Bush State Department official, wasn’t as restrained in his Fox News column last week, writing: The government has a wide range of options for dealing with him. Why is Assange still alive? I'd like to ask a simple question: Why isn't Julian Assange dead? In case you didn't know, Assange is the Australian computer programmer behind WikiLeaks, a massive — and massively successful — effort to disclose secret or classified information. In a series of recent dumps, he unveiled thousands upon thousands of classified documents from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Military and other government officials insist that WikiLeaks is doing serious damage to American national security and is going to get people killed, including brave Iraqis and Afghans who've risked their lives and the lives of their families to help us.
Even Assange agrees. He told the New Yorker earlier this year that he fully understands innocent people might die as a result of the "collateral damage" of his work and that WikiLeaks may have "blood on our hands. " So again, I ask: Why wasn't Assange garroted in his hotel room years ago? It's a serious question. Of course, that's just Hollywood. That's fine. WikiLeaks: Sarah Palin says Julian sh... Palin caught in crosshairs map controversy after Tucson shootings. In her more than two years on the national stage, former Alaska governor Sarah Palin has proven to be a master of attention-grabbing quotes and vivid images.
As a result, she finds herself at the center of a political and media controversy - unfairly in the estimation of her allies - after Saturday's shootings in Tucson. The controversy, which may have caught the Republican by surprise, is the kind of test candidates commonly face in a presidential campaign. How she navigates it, several Republican strategists said Monday, could be a defining moment for her politically.
What makes her challenge unique is that it comes as a result of a national tragedy in which there is no known connection between anything Palin said or did and the alleged actions of Jared Loughner, who is accused of fatally shooting six and severely wounding Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) and 13 others. The map drew immediate criticism. Among those who voiced disapproval was Giffords. Palin, Amid Criticism, Stays in Electronic Comfort Zone.

For a quarter of a century now, Americans have been coming together around Dr. In the decades since Dr. Wikileaks Calls for Sarah Palin's Arrest. The official Twitter account for Wikileaks has posted a press release this evening drawing a comparison between the controversial rhetoric from public figures that some believe contributed to the attempted assassination on Saturday of Arizona congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and the even more explicit calls from public officials for violence against Wikileaks spokesperson Julien Assange and others. The organization called for public figures making such calls to violence to be arrested and charged with crimes. Assange is attributed the following quote in the release: "No organisation anywhere in the world is a more devoted advocate of free speech than Wikileaks but when senior politicians and attention seeking media commentators call for specific individuals or groups of people to be killed they should be charged with incitement -- to murder.
Those who call for an act of murder deserve as significant share of the guilt as those raising a gun to pull the trigger. " From the release: What U.S. "justice" signifies around the world - Glenn Greenwald. In London this morning, a British court held a procedural hearing regarding Sweden’s attempt to extradite Julian Assange in order to question him about sex crimes accusations. Afterward, Assange’s lawyers released an outline of the arguments they intend to make in opposition to extradition. Most of them centered around the impermissibility of extraditing someone who has not been charged with a crime — i.e., merely to interrogate them — but one of the featured arguments focused on the danger that if Assange were sent to Sweden, that country would then extradite him to the U.S., where Assange would be subjected to grave injustices: Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, could be at “real risk” of the death penalty or detention in Guantánamo Bay if he is extradited to Sweden on accusations of rape and sexual assault, his lawyers claim.
Anwar and Sarah and Nidal and Jared. An aspiring political figure with religious ties gathers a small following. For years they speak and the following grows. They speak in religious settings, they speak in political settings. Then an event catapults them to fame on the national scene. Their words reach a broader audience. Their speaking generates a larger following across the United States. They have groups and fan clubs. They have internet sites. One day, a young man takes an automatic pistol to a public place and begins to shoot. And what of the political figure? Does it matter who was brown, who was Muslim? Even though she might have done the same thing. Talk - Naomi Wolf - The End of America. People OK with murdering Assange. Mike Huckabee at the Reagan Library.
Bob Beckel Wants Julian Assange Assassinated! Fox News' Bob Beckel Calls For 'Ilegally' Killing Assange: 'A Dead Man Can't Leak Stuff' Sarah Palin says: target WikiLeaks’ Julian Assange like the Taliban. Sarah Palin, who is widely tipped as a possible Republican candidate for president in 2012, has said WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange should be hunted down in the way armed forces are targeting the Taliban and Al-Qaeda. Her outburst comes during a week when the WikiLeaks founder faced troubling accusations, with the Interpol international police organisation putting him on ‘red notice’ for alleged offences. The notice does not amount to an arrest warrant but is aimed at locating Assange, whose whereabouts have been unknown for some time.
Assange denies the allegations, and has branded them part of a smear campaign against him. The accusations began to surface in August. Around that month Assange was preparing to release a stash of communications from US ambassadors, revealing high level doubts over David Cameron’s ability as British prime minister, details that the US authorities had sanctioned spying on United Nations officials, and claims that China had hacked into Google. Sarah Palin Accuses Journalists Of 'Blood Libel,' Calls Loughner 'Apolitical' (VIDEO) Four days after a gunman attempted to assassinate Rep.
Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ), former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin responded to criticism over a map she posted before the election that featured gun sights over 20 targeted Democratic districts, including Giffords's. "Vigorous and spirited public debates during elections are among our most cherished traditions," Palin wrote in an early morning post on her Facebook account on Wednesday. "But, especially within hours of a tragedy unfolding, journalists and pundits should not manufacture a blood libel that serves only to incite the very hatred and violence they purport to condemn. That is reprehensible. " [TPM SLIDESHOW: Across the Nation, Vigils Held for Rep.
"There are those who claim political rhetoric is to blame for the despicable act of this deranged, apparently apolitical criminal. Palin pointed out that Giffords read the First Amendment on the floor of the House last week. [TPM SLIDESHOW: Dem Rep. Blood libel. Blood libel (also blood accusation)[1][2] is an accusation[3][4][5] that Jews kidnapped and murdered the children of Christians to use their blood as part of their religious rituals during Jewish holidays.[1][2][6] Historically, these claims—alongside those of well poisoning and host desecration—have been a major theme in European persecution of Jews.[4] Blood libels typically say that Jews require human blood for the baking of matzos for Passover, although this element was allegedly absent in the earliest cases that claimed (the contemporary) Jews reenacted the crucifixion.
The accusations often assert that the blood of children of Christians is especially coveted, and, historically, blood libel claims have been made to account for otherwise unexplained deaths of children. In some cases, the victim of human sacrifice has become venerated as a martyr, a holy figure around whom a martyr cult might arise. Actual Jewish practices regarding blood and sacrifice[edit] History[edit] Sarah Palin: "America's Enduring Strength" Blood libel – what does it mean? | World news. Sarah Palin's use of the phrase "blood libel" could scarcely be more incendiary, especially in a religious country like the US. The blood libel refers specifically to perhaps the most notorious verse in the Bible: Matthew 27:25, which has been used by some Christians to persecute Jews for nearly 2,000 years. That it should be used by an avowedly Christian politician about a Jewish one just takes crassness and insensitivity to a new level. One can only hope that Palin, or her advisers, did not appreciate the context, or the history.
The verse in Matthew refers to the scene during Christ's trial before Pontius Pilate, before his execution, where the Roman governor, not being able to find fault with the accused man, publicly washed his hands of his fate, saying the crowd bore responsibility for his death. It took until the post-Holocaust period for organisations such as the Roman Catholic church to acknowledge the sensitivity of the phrase. Sarah Palin charges critics with 'blood libel' - Jennifer Epstein. Sarah Palin released a video statement Wednesday calling the rush to pin blame on conservatives for the shooting in Tucson, Ariz., a “blood libel.” “Acts of monstrous criminality stand on their own,” she said. “They begin and end with the criminals who commit them.” Continue Reading VIDEO: Palin: 'Blood libel' VIDEO: Limbaugh on blame game In the eight-minute video, Palin says, “Especially within hours of a tragedy unfolding, journalists and pundits should not manufacture a blood libel that serves only to incite the very hatred and violence they purport to condemn.
That is reprehensible.” Palin’s use of the charged phrase “blood libel” — which refers to the anti-Semitic accusation from the Middle Ages that Jews killed Christian children to use their blood to make matzo for Passover — touched off an immediate backlash. “The blood libel is something anti-Semites have historically used in Europe as an excuse to murder Jews — the comparison is stupid. “When was it less heated?” Sarah Palin's "Crosshairs" Ad is Focus of Gabrielle Giffords Debate. <br/><a href=" US News</a> | <a href=" Business News</a> Copy In the stunned aftermath of the Tucson massacre, Sarah Palin has found herself in the crosshairs of the ensuing political debate with opponents suggesting she may have fueled the gunman's rage and her supporters saying it is "grotesque" to blame her and to politicize the tragedy.
Crosshairs is a political phrase that emerged from Palin's political action committee SarahPac that targeted congressional districts for the Tea Party campaign in the last election, including the district of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. Although Palin later denied she meant the graphic over the districts to look like a gun sight, it is part of the hunting lexicon that critics say she prefers. Comedian Frank Conniff tweeted: "Hey, Sarah Palin, hows that hatey, killy, reloady, crosshairsy thing working out for ya? " Like so much with Palin, the roots are on Facebook. Bob Beckel.
