- @markos This may be your "chickens come home to roost" hour. It may be a good idea to just stop and let the facts come out. in reply to markos #
- @markos You might try a little more humility and a lot more sense. in reply to markos #

- RT @DarlaBunting: Dr. MLK cont: violence toward another human being must become as abhorrent as eating another's flesh. #
- RT @ggreenwald: These obsessive, repressive leak investigations are occurring under a Pres. who campaigned on transparency… #
- Okay folks, this is clear: Both Palin and @markos had incendiary remarks about Rep. Giffords. It isn't about words. It's about actions. #
- Free speech is beautiful. Strong, vicious rhetoric is the lifeblood of our Democratic Republic. Violence is not. #
- The alleged shooter of Rep. Giffords, if he is guilty, deserves the harshest criminal penalty. And God have mercy on him. He'll need it. #
- RT @JoeNBC: Please keep praying for Gabby Giffords. #
- @vadum Good to know. in reply to vadum #
- The free speech of the Palins & the Markoses of the world are not the source of evil acts. That lies in the dark hearts of the criminals. #
- And evil, sociopathic people don't need much of a reason to harm the lives of others. They don't even need to hear a word. #

- @ToughLoveforX Since it is a state law, the board of ed can't abolish it. Weaken it? That, on the other hand, can happen. in reply to ToughLoveforX #
- @ToughLoveforX This is why #ParentPower must really be a focus of #edreform Parents aren't exactly welcomed in education decision-making in reply to ToughLoveforX #
- @ToughLoveforX This is why a federal role in #edreform will also be part of the game. The states can't always be trusted to do right. in reply to ToughLoveforX #
- @ToughLoveforX The background is that Austin is the head of Parent Revolution and Ted Mitchell is head of @NSVF. Both leading in #edrform in reply to ToughLoveforX #

- RT @JPFreire: If your reaction to this is to blame rhetoric … politics has consumed your life and you should take some time away from it. #
- @ToughLoveforX The replacements include Michael Kirst, who is a traditionalist type, and a Calif. #NEA lobbyist. General #edreform foes. in reply to ToughLoveforX #
- @ToughLoveforX Agreed. Brown also eliminated the state secretary of education position; handing #edpolicy to the new state supt. in reply to ToughLoveforX #
- @ToughLoveforX That guy beat Gloria Romero, the author of #ParentTrigger for the job. He was supported by the #NEA and #AFT in reply to ToughLoveforX #
- @ToughLoveforX Well, the state board of ed has orderd an investigation into the effort by Compton parents to use #ParentTrigger in reply to ToughLoveforX #
- @ToughLoveforX Opponents argue (but can't prove) that the #ParentTrigger group duped parents into signing up. in reply to ToughLoveforX #
- @ToughLoveforX It is possible. But then, it also depends on the political pressure from #edreform activists. There will be plenty/ in reply to ToughLoveforX #
- @ToughLoveforX especially after the decision to not reappoint Austin and Mitchell. The Democrats are divided over #edreform in reply to ToughLoveforX #
- @ToughLoveforX and Brown will be in the middle of it. He's got to deal w/insolvent pensions, cutting school budgets. in reply to ToughLoveforX #
- @ToughLoveforX He'll need the #edreform folks more than he'll need the #NEA and #AFT since the latter will oppose any cuts. in reply to ToughLoveforX #
- RT @maddow: There is nothing to be gained from speculating on the motives and affiliations of AZ shooter w/o facts. #
- @lioncaller Actually, yeah. I've been just as tough on those trying to connect every word in the Koran to some terrorist act. in reply to lioncaller #
- @lioncaller He was also the head of the Soviet Union. in reply to lioncaller #
- RT @radleybalko: Alleged shooter's fave authors include Rand, Marx, Hitler, Harper Lee, Plato, Aesop, Orwell…enough to confirm all biases. #
- @lioncaller I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you. But you are heading down a path that some would call a logical leap. in reply to lioncaller #
- @lioncaller An elected official with control of guns, bullets, bombs, is different than some "leader". in reply to lioncaller #
- @lioncaller Of course, I think Reagan should have used a little more tact. Or just kept his mouth shut. in reply to lioncaller #
- If so, a mishmash of logical fallicies in an evil mind. RT @notjessewalker: The Gifford suspect's YouTube channel: #
- @BeSkwared To quote RT @radleybalko: Alleged shooter's fave authors include Rand, Marx, Hitler, Harper Lee, Plato, Aesop, Orwell in reply to BeSkwared #
- @BeSkwared Rhetoric matters. But rhetoric does not always lead to violence. In fact, it almost never does. Or else, there'd be more of it. in reply to BeSkwared #
- @BeSkwared Evil, sociopathic people do terrible things to people independent of any words. Again, they don't even need provocation. in reply to BeSkwared #
- @embracediversiT And DailyKos had a number of statements about Giffords that were not kind either. Do you blame DailyKos for the shooting? in reply to embracediversiT #
- @embracediversiT Again, evil people do evil things, often independent of what others say. in reply to embracediversiT #
- RT @D_Aarons: Obama: I know Gabby is as tough as they come and I am hopeful she is going to pull through #
- @embracediversiT And based on the shooter's reading list, one would have to also list Aesops and Orwell as the influences of evil? in reply to embracediversiT #
- @embracediversiT I really want you to think about this. in reply to embracediversiT #
- @embracediversiT Again, evil people do evil things, often independent of what others say. And that's been proven in history. in reply to embracediversiT #
- @embracediversiT Vicious rhetoric is coin of the realm in every discussion throughout history. Even during the Enlightenment. in reply to embracediversiT #
- @embracediversiT This doesn't mean that I like it. What it does mean is that words don't equal actions. in reply to embracediversiT #
- @embracediversiT What should be at issue is that a man allegedly committed two murders and injured four other people. He allegedy took life. in reply to embracediversiT #
- @embracediversiT And if he did it, he would have likely done it for any reason (or no reason at all). This is the issue. And the reality. in reply to embracediversiT #
- RT @notjessewalker: Depressing to see folks who reject crude media effects theories in pop culture blaming (cont) http://tl.gd/80tkr9 #
- @embracediversiT Certainly, words have power. But the power is also quite limited. People are sentient beings, not automatons. in reply to embracediversiT #
- @embracediversiT The influences that lead to evil behavior usually start long before they read or hear a message. in reply to embracediversiT #
- @embracediversiT Your welcome. And thanks for your thoughts. in reply to embracediversiT #
- RT @howardowens: A nut case operates out of his own deranged sense of egocentric, self-centered world. There's no sense of larger goals. #
- Words are influential. Actions even more so. So, dear parents/caring adults, think about what you say. And more importantly, what you do. #
- Your kids are watching. And the people around them will either benefit or suffer from the fruits of your parenting. #
