“Our thoughts and prayers as a nation should be
with the victims of the Tucson slayings by Jared Loughner, and their grieving
families. Instead, soulless partisan hacks are attempting to cast these attacks
in some political context, seeking to blame everyone from Sarah Palin, the tea
parties, to the Republican Party at large for somehow inciting Loughner’s
killings, the motive of which may never be clear.
“Meanwhile, the motive for linking Loughner to the
political right is more than transparent, it is a sick political agenda that
seeks to take advantage of this tragedy. Once again, the shameless strategy is
to blame a horrendous act of carnage on conservatives, Republicans, or tea
parties for the purpose of delegitimizing their philosophy of governing. Enough
is enough.
“The American people should not even dignify this
twisted strategy as legitimate discourse. It is nothing more than
fear-mongering. To try to politicize this tragedy is to scapegoat millions of
Americans who only have legitimate objections to their government. The American
people will not be bullied from protesting their government, even as they
condemn and mourn the needless slaughter by a lone lunatic.”
