"Political Discourse: Appeal to Turn Down the Volume of Discourse "
Posted and Written by Karen Ann Carr
________________________________________________________________________WASHINGTON, DC–For some political defamation, partisan journalistic bullying or terrorizing, journalistic inciting–to–violence, and throwing around terms that are fraught with pain in Jewish history or fraught with pain in Black American history, has become a way of life and a way of producing very large sums of personal income. Even the U.S. president's daughter was analyzed and depicted harshly, without any regard for her feelings and the pain the portrayal might generate . The standards of American journalism and mass communication produced by Americans need not continue at such a diminished measure.
In order to claim the status of a highly victimized individual, the term ‘blood libel’ is being thrown about in the discourse of the day, without clearly understanding of its use in history.
Historically, the term ‘blood libel’ has been a major theme in European persecution of Jews. It was alleged that Jews required human blood for the baking of matzos for Passover; that the blood of Christian children was especially coveted; and that the unexplained deaths of Christian children could be blamed on Jewish persons. But the killing of Christian children or people to practice Judaism is contrary to all teachings of Judaism.
Why are politicians and professional journalists articulating holier-than-thou assessment of their discourse and the dissertations of others, without regard to quantifying their influence on society or people. Adult human beings are responsible for what they do and say, even if the unintended influences on society engender violence. What a person thinks about often influences their actions.
Political defamation, partisan journalistic bullying or terrorizing, journalistic inciting–to–violence, and throwing around terms that are fraught with pain in Jewish history or fraught with pain in Black American history must end a way of life globally. The ability to produce very large sums of personal income or very great amounts of money for media networks is not justifiable if terrorism, defamation and violence is the means to the wealth.
Violence and a possible link to mass communication is a dynamic that has been scrutinized for many decades. With particular focus on outcomes, social scientists continue to study the relationship between human psychology, the actions of people and human discourses in the media. Why are media networks hiding behind the, seeming, inability to definitively quantify connections between what is said and what is done? The desire to sustain viewers and maintain devoted advertisers.

WASHINGTON, DC- President Barack Obama visited Congresswoman Giffords and her husband in the ICU on the second floor of the medical center. He stayed from 4.07 until 4.16 pm local time on January 12, 2011. Following his visit Congresswoman Giffords opened her eyes and lifted her arm while her parents, close friends and husband Astronaut Mark Kelly encouraged her. All in the room were overwhelmed with joy and tears.
On Wednesday, Jan. 12, 2011, President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama will visit the University of Arizona Tucson to speak at a memorial event, “Together We Thrive: Tucson and America."
"The President will devote a significant portion of his remarks to the memory of the victims. He’ll also reflect on how all of us might best honor their memory in our own lives," Robert Gibbs said.
Prior to the event President Obama and Mrs. Michelle Obama spent about 45 minutes at the Hospital Center. They visited with a total of five patients who were victims of Saturday’s attack, including Rep. Giffords and two of her staffers, Ron Barber and Pam Simon. The two other persons were not identified.
President and Mrs. Obama were led on the tour of the hospital by Dr. Peter Rhee. A White House physician was part of the advance team for the hospital.
The breakdown of the hospital tour is as follows:
The President arrived at the hopital just before 5 p.m.
President and Mrs. Obama met privately with 13 people who are family members of the deceased. With the President and Mrs. Obama were Attorney General Holder, Senators. McCain and Kyl, and Rep. Barrasso.
They may be meeting with other family members after the initial group. "After his first visit with a group of families of the victims of the shooting, President Obama visited three other rooms," Secretary Robert Gibbs said. "In the second room, President Obama saw people who were injured in the attack and had been discharged, plus members of their families, a total of eight people."
In the third room, President Obama "saw staff of Rep Giffords and their families, a group of between 50 and 60 people. In the fourth room, President Obama saw first responders and families of some of those who acted heroically in the incident -- about 20 people." it is being reported.
Additionally, "there was a meeting with about 20 people on the trauma team that received the victims on Saturday, January 8, 2011.
This evenings event, will take place at 6 p.m. at McKale Memorial Center (1721 E Enke Dr., Tucson, Ariz.).
The goal of the event is to support and remember victims of the mass shooting in Tucson, and will hopefully lift the spirits of those who have been personally affected by this tragedy._______________________________________DANIEL HERNANDEZ,

Twenty people were shot and numerous others were terrorized by a man with a Glock 9 mm semi-automatic pistol. Friends and associates of the man stated he was intellectually arrogant and mentally angry at US Representative Gabrielle Giffords - Kelly.
It appears that the man intentionally with forethought planned to kill multitudes of people in addition to his primary target, Representative Giffords.____________________________________________

"The skies opened up on Memorial Day outside of Chicago. When the lightning began, the Secret Service told the President that it was too dangerous to proceed. He took the stage by himself and informed the audience that his speech was canceled and that for everyone's safety, they should return to their busses. Later, he boarded a few of the busses to thank them for attending and apologized for not being able to speak."
