We are already failing to learn the potential lesson of the tragedy in Arizona. While the media is reporting on what is known about Loughner and what may be attributed to him the right is blaming the left for violent rhetoric.
Neither one is right here however the last thing I would ever accuse the left of is violent rhetoric. If any violent rhetoric can be assigned to any group it is the Tea Party candidates and Sarah Palin.
I don't mean to actually accuse the Tea Party candidates and Sarah Palin of wanting people dead. But, there is no doubt that they used the rhetoric of Tea Party members to reach out their base.
I think what we are seeing with Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck and other far-right members of society is a cult of personality. Where what they say maybe construed as instructions to others.
