AN ARTICLE IN THE DAY ON THE SAME ITEM ON MONDAY 17 JANUARY 2011
The
Obama called President Arturo Rodriguez Balderas
For most political commentators in the United States, President Barack Oba-ma made one of his most important speeches on the occasion of the funeral for the victims of the attack which occurred on January 8th in the city of Tucson, Arizona.
His call for national reconciliation in honor of those who perished and those who remain hospitalized as a result of the attack was intense. Left a deep impression on the thousands who were present at the gym and stadium University of Arizona, as well as the millions who followed radio and television.
was not a partisan speech or had the intention of laying blame for the apparent climate of intolerance in the political arena. It was an elegy in which he emphasized the virtues of those who suffered the aggression and also a reminder that the discrepancy can be found in civilized agreement to resolve common problems.
Without castigating those who have burned the political discourse with bigotry and threats of lynching, described the damage done to the social life who exploit for political differences that have little to do with the essential component of the policy: building agreements.
not take long for the eternal revilers the president, especially in the most conservative, to refute his words through the expedient of excuse to those who have created a climate of intolerance, saying that "others" have also acted in the same way.
Before the presidential address, just a few hours of the attack, some ultra-conservative commentators had already been commissioned to place blame on the other side of the political spectrum. We could not miss Mrs. Sarah Palin, the main head of the conservative movement Tea Party. In a recorded message to fend off accusations that were made responsible for causing the atmosphere of intolerance policy, countered by saying it was the target of a false conviction. Not measure the consequences and offended many when he said the attacks against her was a blood libel, blood libel. The phrase has a negative charge for the Jewish people, because in the Middle Ages, absurdly, they were accused, along with other racial minorities, of using blood from infants for religious rituals.
These outbursts will not be easy to heal the wounds inflicted by a lunatic when, in an appeal for sanity, respond to attacks and attack other references and further inflamed political environment. In any case, there is reason to this and others are justified in the incendiary comments of people like Rush Limbaugh, Glen Beck and Sarah Palin to act violently. Apparently, those who defend tooth and nail the status quo can not find a reasonable enough argument to avoid confusing political adversaries enemies to be destroyed.
