By Antonio RomeaSpain, is a country with a long History on fighting terrorism. The basque separatist organization ETA, proclaimed on january 2011 a permanent cease fire and the end of their actions after been fighting from the 1950´s, and killing many Spanish police members, military officers and politicians.
Due to the Spanish experience, in our country it is forbidden to say or publish who has to be killed, as Sarah Palin did in the USA.
What she did is consider a "incitement to commit Terrorist acts", and carry penal responsibility at the Trials at Spain and in many other European countries.
In USA, the far-right leader Tea Party, Sarah Palin, after being accused of inciting terrorism of right-wing fanatics, has changed the map on her website. In that map she had added cross hairs on the States and over the names of 20 Democrats, candidates to be Members of the Congress.
The 20 congressmen on the spotlight list had voted in favor of the Health Reform (Health Bill) driven by Barak Obama, that will cover health for millions of Americans with low incomes.
The right to Health free or subsidized Health was gradually introduced into Europe from the 50's. But in U.S. However, the right to Health of citizens is being sabotaged by economic interests of lobbies like the Medical insurers and the Tea Party.
Health reform, would be a social achievement for a country with low levels of public health care, almost non-existent, according to sources below Mexico and Sudan (infant mortality in black people, etc.).
The goal of the 20 deputies lost their seats was that the Republican Party intends to undo the health reform, getting more members in Congress and unravel a new law passed by votes in Congress, which has woven the Obama .
But one of those House Democrats, Gabrielle Giffords, has actually been shot and is in serious condition in the same right-wing terrorist act killed a federal judge and another 5 attending a Democratic rally in Tucson (Arizona).
In Spain, a country with long history in fighting terrorism, publicly say who should be killed, or make a list of "targets" are considered "terrorists say to those who have to kill, so it would prosecute the instigators of collaboration to terrorism ... if we applied Spanish law the U.S. case, one could consider that some Republicans incite murder or ambiguously suggested, as well as they all have the right to carry a weapon. They should be two incompatible things, the right to bear arms, and mark targets for assassination.
Since some areas of politicians and journalists of the right of the U.S. has exported the "hate speech", the discourse of hatred and aggression in political debates, emptying them of content. This practice in the U.S.: The Tea Party and the FOX and in Spain, circles close to Aznar, the COPE, Intereconomía, etc.
