Funny, I haven't seen this one mentioned anywhere at DU.   :whistling:

Quote
Kanjorski in hot water after controversial remark reappears
By Andrew Staub (Staff Writer)
Published: January 12, 2011

A day after former congressman Paul E. Kanjorski penned an op-ed piece for The New York Times calling for civility in democracy after a shooting rampage in Arizona, the former Northeastern Pennsylvania congressman also found himself deflecting questions about comments he made that sharply contrast with Monday's editorial.

In October, Kanjorski opined to The Scranton Times-Tribune about Republican candidate for Florida governor Rick Scott, saying, "Instead of running for governor of Florida, they ought to have him and shoot him. Put him against the wall and shoot him."

Kanjorski's words went relatively unnoticed during his unsuccessful bid for a 14th term in Congress, but re-emerged this week after a brutal attack at an Arizona grocery store left six people dead and U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona clinging to life after she was shot in the head.

Reached by phone Tuesday, Kanjorski said "only fruitcakes" would take his statement about Scott literally.

Well you libs claim that some fruitcake saw Sarah Palin's graphic and shot a congresswoman. So if some fruitcake reads or hears what you said and tries to or does harm Scott then you will have blood on your hands. You know the goose and the gander, right?

The thread has been lying pretty much dormant, meaning: it's radioactive to them and they know it.

Cali, to her credit said Kanjorski said it and he owns it and it was stupid but then there's this:

2. My apologies in advance, this is probably evident to you...
 ... but what is the counter-statement about this?

Sorry, I have remotely heard of these two individuals in general termas, but not to the point to understand the counterpoint to the piece.

Got that? The relative obscurity of the primaries should have the level of rhetoric downgraded to harmless.

Well, who the hell heard Giffords before Saturday?

I wager if last friday night anyone who had said her name would have been responded to by, "Who is she?"
I'm not saying I don't feel for her and am not angry at the shooter because I am she just wasn't a household name until this goon shot her. If the event had gone off without anything happening we probably still would have to have Congresswoman from AZ by her name to know who she is.

If anything happens to Scott I am sure the left will excuse this guy.
Unlike Palin using a metaphor for Giffords political defeat this guy called for Scott to be shot.
All we wish on our political enemies is they get a chance to help stimulate the economy by being on unemployment.

Guilty of what?

He's a jackass to be sure but nothing in what he said was an incitement to violence.

He certainly should not be silenced by law (read: as enforced by armed agents of the state). Perhaps he should be publicly shamed for being a jackass but that is the extent of it.

Not criminally liable, I agree, but guilty of inflaming hatred and harming our national discourse.  I would not silence him by law, but I would shame him into better behavior.  Ultimately, I agree with you on that.

Someone should put all the DUmmies against a wall - they can paint over all the graffiti and clean up the sidewalk while they're at it.
