Here is Keith Olbermann speaking on the Giffords incident today. Well worth watching.
“Let me say one thing, because people tend to pooh-pooh this business about all the vitriol that we hear inflaming the American public by people who make a living off of doing that,” the sheriff said during a press conference. “That may be free speech, but it’s not without consequences.”
For those who would like to see yesterday’s chart placed next to the Sept. 11 chart and the progressions for Sept. 11 we have posted all three charts to this link.
Thank goodness someone has the courage to take his responsibility and call out all others to take their responsibility in the mindset and childish, destructive words and actions that runs pampant through the US media and government. In being so violent and angry in word and as in Palin’s case action (promoting wolf killing via videos and anger via bulsseye maps) the collective has become more and more dysfunctional for almost a decade now. The time to start turning this around was long before yesterday, but let’s hope yesterday starts the process.
