California Democratic Rep. Bob Filner said on "The Last Word" that America should have expected the Gabrielle Giffords shooting because it plays a part in a bigger picture. Congressman Filner believes America should pay attention to the tragedy as a warning of an upcoming "revolution":
Watch the video for the full interview of Congressman Filner (D-CA):
The next day, Lawrence, and also right after Gabby’s shooting, there were blogs to say that clearly politics doesn’t work for us because Filner the sneaky Jewish guy obviously defrauded us, and we have to go to violence. And here's some AK-47s; here`s how you do sniper work. And that was repeated a couple days ago with — when they said this is the start of the revolution, the shooting of Gabby Giffords. So this is not an isolated incident. Everybody who tries to put it off on a deranged individual I think is — that’s a political statement in and of itself, because they are absolving themselves of the responsibility of their words and their actions."

+10I believe the Giffords' shooting is more of a thermometer incident that measures the heat of our discord. When republicans decided to not cooperate for 2 years and decided to play no role in governing or lawmaking they sent a message to their supporters...and when some republicans floated 2nd amendment remedies and so forth.....they set the stage for a tragedy. The Americans voted for cooperation not a fained repeal of healthcare...they want the republicans to help govern.
the campaign has not stop spewing its propaganda yet so we can assume that other incidents will follow.
The only revolution is the one coming this presidential election, It will be an independent in office, not a 2 party coin player.
No one's buying it, Bob. The violent Marxists are being shown as the angry hate-filled, violent radicals they are and this just goes to show how far they will go to support their lies.
I would like to think that we'd do so, as our founding fathers did it, peaceably give the government the straight-up and the what-for (as our founding fathers did with Declaration of Independence) and then be prepared to defend ourselves if they come after us.

Poured from the same psychotic blood bucket, Charlie Manson assumed his 'Helter Skelter' slaughters would start a global race riot between whites and blacks.
How about Nancy Pelosi and all of her BS?? "There's a new sheriff in town!" How about all of the arrogance on the Left because of their numbers in both houses? What they all seem to want is for the Conservative to shut up and obey their dictates. The Left has no genuine desire for bipartisnaship, it's only for show!!!!
His words mean absolutely nothing to me! I may have been willing to offer him my support at one point, but NEVER AGAIN!!!
Two years later, it appears that the report did not go far enough. In the wake of the election of the first Black President, the Right Wing has not spent a single DAY without doing something to encourage violence, to create dissention within this country, to foment a RACE WAR in this nation, and to do what Rush Limbaugh told them to do two years go - MAKE AMERICA FAIL. An entire corporate-sponsored and controlled "movement" that originally called itself TEABAGGERS until they realized how asinine they name they chose for themselves actually was whose primary goal and primary purpose is to create racial divison in this country and a justification for violence. We have national figures like a certain failed governor and failed vice presidential candidate openly calling for violence against the Government of the United States of America. We have psychotics bringing assault rifles to Town Hall Meetings. We have near riots in New York City be...

We have near riots in New York City because someone other than a "Christian" believes that the First Amendment actually applies to them.
Why, sane people ask? Well it's obvious, isn't it - the President is BLACK, after all!
And a few other "minor details":
The assassination attempt on Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, killing 6 others.
The assassination of George Tiller.
The bomb planted along the MLK day parade route in Spokane.
The Glenn Beck follower who got into a shootout with police after being stopped from attacking the Tides Foundation.
The Unitarian Church murders.
The arson attack against the mosque construction site in Tennessee.
Rocks thrown through the windows of the offices of at least three or four congresspeople and one local Democratic committee.
The antigovernment/militia father and son who bombed a bank in Oregon, killing two police officers and wounding a third.
Another anti-government father-son duo who murdered two police officers who stopped them on the freeway.
The tax protester who flew a plane into an IRS building.
The anti-Obama right-wing nut who killed three police officers in Pittsburgh because he was convinced that Obama was going to institute a fascist state.
The Hutaree militia members who conspired to murder police officers as the beginning of a war on the government.
The murder of a security guard at the Holocaust Museum by a neo-Nazi.
Mail bombs sent to Janet Napolitano and other administration officials.
Thankfully, at this time of Right Wing crisis, this country is in the hands of one of the most able and gifted leaders our country has ever known.
No, no. Not really.
2. The implication in Filner's statement and the word "revolution" is an organized domestic group trying to seize power.
3. If not the Republicans, exactly who is this alleged "revolution" supposed to benefit?
2) Filner uses the word "revolution" as a direct quote from the crazy loons themselves. It is their words, not his.
3) Filner never claims the self proclaimed "revolutionaries" are associated with the establishment GOP. In any case, that makes absolutely no sense. Why would a person in power overthrow the government that put them there? More likely, these people are mentally unstable, libertarian leaning apolitical types who hate establishment politicians, like Louughner or Glenn Beck.
Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and 22 other people were shot in Tucson two weeks ago by a mentally ill anti-government fanatic named Jared Lee Loughner.
No one other than Sarah Palin has suggested that Palin was DIRECTLY responsible for the shootings, but no one can credibly deny that Loughner acted in part because of the constant "the Government is out to get you and your only recourse is to shoot someone" message that she among others have been spewing for a long time.
Giffords HERSELF called attention to the hatemongering last March and warned that people like Palin were inspiring the Loughners of the country to take heinous actions. In response, Palin INCREASED THE VOLUME.
When the day comes when an individual cannot run for office based upon what they believe without fear of begin attacked our government will no longer be of and for the people. Much of what has gone on for the last two years is very disconcerting.
I do believe that it is an isolated indecent. However if there are more, you can count on it not being from some deranged person, but from an ideological cause that can, and will, ultimately destroy this nation. For the first time that I can remember the United States can not truly call itself United. And what a shame that is.
