In paragraph without referring to the 60'a can you show any single connection between him and Palin?
Giffords 2010 statement about Palins imagery and Loughners 2011 shooting are a BIT more recent, yes, so consider it done. Just because it started then doesn't change the fact it hasn't stopped.
Can you in anyway show that he followed the politics beyond his own little conspiracy rants?
Can I show he followed it WITHOUT referencing him following it? Um, no, that's literally impossible. Can you show Obama follows Dems beyond leading the party?
If you insist that despite any actual evidence to support you that the political atmosphere played a role in this can you provide any factual evidence that would suggest it was right wing rhetoric and not left wing rhetoric that drove him to this? Because despite all the left wing rhetoric to the contrary the left has zero high ground when it comes to rhetoric.
If someone kills Palin tomorrow do you think having some many liberals accuse her of inspiring murder will be to blame? Do you think that all of the unfounded attacks on her increase the likelihood that some nut job will try and kill her? If so please go chastise yourself for being a hate monger and inspiring violence.

I've been very careful to avoid violent imagery; I usually am, and for good reason, so, no, if someone commits an act of violence for which I've never even implied support. You're reaching, and it smells, rightly or not, of desperation. The connection with Palin herself was made in 2010, but you want evidence more recent than the '60s. I have to show Loughners political actions and interests without referencing any of them. And, to top it all off, the now classic "how dare you call him a conservative when he's obviously a liberal" as if there are so few conservative pols in AZ that liberal nuts there have to gun down fellow liberals.
If that's the best way you can defend the far rights inflammatory violent rhetoric you should CONSIDER the possibility it's indefensible.
