with all the rants on both sides about what it means nothing can convince the opposite side what you pretend they dont really believe.
When the rubber meets the road NO ONE , neither side, will benifit in a political way for continuing to use such language.
I really think this is going to end up being the case.
It gave me some real hope when it occured to me.
Yes.....the use of the following words, phrases, and images will be considered hate-speech:
War-room, number one with a bullet, fire, fire-stick, bang bang, conflict, attack, target, cross-hairs, enemy, hostage-takers, ricochet, bust a cap in your ass, gun, weapon, defeat, shooter computor games, gunman, gunwoman, gunny, accidental discharge, bring a gun to a knife-fight, shoot the shit, drinking shooters, shoot from the hip, give em both barrels, reload, gun show, report, crossfire, firefight, jumping the gun, Colt 45, the right to bare arms, she/he must be loaded, fire extinguisher, recoil, magazine, cartridge, casing, barrel, trigger, sniper, combatant, shoot your wad, arms, ammunition, and anything Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, or Glenn Beck say.
I know it means nothing to you that a democratic rep was targeted.
I understand that , I understand to you it means nothing.
That doesnt matter now.
Its in the ether.
A violent image will NO LONGER have a good impact on campaign numbers.
What you try to pin on me dosent matter.
It is now in the cultural memory.
Its part of the American collective mind.
No one will want their (OK very few) candidate to use this stuff because it will take the discussion places that dont help the candidate..
its over, its done.
Those that persist in using this imagery will pay a price because NO ONE wants to think about this discussion.
It will be a losing tactic.
man I just keep making myself feel better.
The best part is it is VERY likely excactly what the atmosphere will be for quite some time to come.

No, Mud, sarah and glen and rush are not the victims.
Giffords and 19 other are the victims.
Any who mix this up are either morally or mentally demented.
Admit it, Stephanie: Giselle, not Sarah, is the victim.
If you remember I warned of this type of violence by a nutter months ago.

where in there did I try to convince you it did?
I beg to differ with you , I think this is a game changer momment.
I dont think this will be a useful tactic anymore.
All this fighting about it has made some headway.
I think it will give some solace to the vitims of this horrible incident.
I think it will make their path of grief a little softer.
I am really begining to feel much better about my country this momment
You're trying your damnest to blame political imagery on the shooting. You are wrong.
The really sad thing is this statement shows how very little attention you pay to what is actually said.
I have said that the gunman caused this.
I have also said that words and images matter and can influence people and crazy people are easily influenced.
I cant help that you do not want to understand anything I say.
I have no control over what you understand.
warned MONTHS ago that some nutter would be influenced by the sharp tone and violent images, I begged for people to talk like adults.
You dont believe it influences anyone then fine.
I get to think what I want and have thought this for many years.
In the end it doesnt matter what either of us think personally.
The reality is this whole discussion is now pretty much history and every time someone puts a gun barrel site image or a target anywhere near another candidate the person will lose vote share.
the people have had these images seared into their memories with this incident.
It is no longer a winning tactic no matter how much you dont want that to be true
I know it means nothing to you that a democratic rep was targeted.
In its OP, truthdoesn'tmattertoheratall asks the stupid question, "will there now be a political cost for violent images?"
The answer, obviously, is "yes:"
We will have to listen to more of truthdoesn'tmattertoheratall's prattling bullshit whining.
....oh shit here it comes....
Political imagery is, of course, part of the mileu, the back drop, of what happened. To discount the negative effect that imagery now has on many, if not most, if not the great majority, of Americans would be a sad marketing decision.
Sarah victimized herself, no one else did, with that campaign image.
The cry besides the true grief for Giselle and the other victims will be the far right pwns who backed Sarah. Her presidential ambitions, if not her entire career, has been shattered by the confluence of the shootings and the campaign poster.
