Do Words Matter to Debbie Wasserman Schultz?

As news came this weekend of the tragic shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords D-AZ, friends and colleagues rightly offered condolences and praise for the popular politico. Particularly close friend and ally Debbie Wasserman-Schultz D-FL issued a statement from her home district about the terrible event, where several bystanders were also killed or maimed. The representative urged Congress to tone down political rhetoric in the wake of the tragedy and notably expounded that "words matter."
But do words matter to Debbie Wasserman-Schultz?
That proclamation is particularly amusing from Wasserman-Schultz who is known for her own highly partisan rhetoric. While famous for being dangerously out of touch, Wasserman-Schultz has proven a penchant for keeping a straight face while telling bald faced lies. She declared that the American people were feeling good about the state of our economy while the unemployment rate soared. She also claimed on national television that the Obama economic plan would create more jobs in one year than President Bush had in 8. Of course, that did not pan out to be true.
So do words matter to Wasserman-Schultz, or any other liberal activist for that matter? Her party could hardly have more blood on their hands on matters of provocation of violence for political gain. Last year when psychopath James Jay Lee held hostages at the Discovery Channel, the Left immediately blamed Tea Party rhetoric and so-called Right Wing Extremists for his actions.
Just one problem. It turned out that Lee was an enviro-terrorist Left Wing nutjob, one of their own. OOPS!
Whether it's liberal activist Jim Jones psyching people into drinking kool-aid on his compound or Barack Obama's friends Bernadette Dorn and William Ayers wishing they had "done more" to wreak havoc on America, Left Wing extremism has run amok in our society for generations. We might fondly remember the cuddly characters that rioted in the streets of Chicago in 1968, the San Francisco Democrat that shot Harvey Milk, or even the psycho mass murderer (and close friend to Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter) John Wayne Gacy. Indeed liberals and violence go together like milk and cookies. Saul Alinski would be proud.
Update!!! On RealClearPolitics, Pat Buchanan reminds us that Lee Harvey Oswald - the man who shot Democratic President JFK - was also a Castro-supportive, communist Russian spy. He continues:
Perhaps Wasserman-Schultz will turn over a new leaf and urge her own party to refrain from soaring, lofty, violent rhetoric. If so, she deserves our praise. But if she utters the words "Teabagger" or "Right Wing Extremist" to tie one psychopath to a peaceful and purely American movement for her own hyper-partisan opportunism, then she has a place secure in the darkest pits of Hell.
Here's some samples of liberal hatred inciting violence. Here's more partisan video of what liberals have said so far (below):
Wasserman-Schultz: Republicans Are Bobbleheads
Wasserman-Schultz on Sarah Palin: "More of the Same" "Doesn't Know Much" "Unfit" "Cliff Notes"
Wasserman-Schultz: Bomb Thrower?
And of course let's not forget inspirational, non-partisan rhetoric from other leading liberals!
Pelosi: A Big Fan of Disruptors (except her own)
Obama Mocks Fox News, "Teabaggers"

Undeniably, political rhetoric is hotter than it has been since the 1960s and ought to be dialed down. But Barack Obama, talking tough in 2008 about how he would deal with Republican attacks, himself said, "If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun. ... Folks in Philly like a good brawl."
In 2010, Obama called on Hispanics to join him and "punish our enemies." Harry Reid in 2009 called Tea Party critics "evil-mongers" who disrupt town-hall meetings with "lies, innuendo and rumors."

Are you serious? "Or any other left wing activist"? Wow, what a way to reach a hasty generalization. A type of generalization that you claim to deplore not a few sentences later.
With the exception of the Discovery Channel guy, your examples of liberal "blood on hands" is decades old. You can bet your life that if a liberal politician posted a map with crosshairs on people we need to "take out," then one of those people was actually taken out (or at least attempted to be), the right wing would be up in arms -- in a much more vitriolic way than we are seeing now.
This is not a time to play political blame games. It's a time to realize that all heated rhetoric with a bend towards violence (which, despite your clear impartiality, is coming almost exclusively from the right at this point, what with the over-the-top fears of socialism run amok and a Muslim President), is not a productive, civil or decent way to get things done.
As an aside, I really miss the days when you even tried to be non-biased. You are truly one of the most partisan people I know. This blog has largely become your attempt at being mouthpiece for the Republican party and it is clear that you mostly rehash terrible talking points available to you.
All of this, by the way, is through your prism of favoritism. If Hillary were President and tried to pass the same health care bill, had the same response to the Gulf Oil disaster or made the same remarks as Debbie Wasserman Schultz, I truly think you'd be supporting her in a way you would NEVER do of any other Democrat, but would any Republican.
It actually makes me a little sick that you have to use the photo of her and John Wayne Gacy. Really? A photo from 30+ years ago is not exactly an appropriate thing to post. When the photo was taken, he was a well-respected member of his community. Nobody could have possibly imagined the horror that would unfold in the months/years after.
