Then there's Sarah Palin who fits the sociopathic profile closely, her actions quite likely contributed to a US Congresswoman getting shot.

Sarah Palin's "Crosshairs" Ad is Focus of Gabrielle Giffords Debate - ABC News

In the stunned aftermath of the Tucson massacre, Sarah Palin has found herself in the crosshairs of the ensuing political debate with opponents suggesting she may have fueled the gunman's rage and her supporters saying it is "grotesque" to blame her and to politicize the tragedy.

Crosshairs is a political phrase that emerged from Palin's political action committee SarahPac that targeted congressional districts for the Tea Party campaign in the last election, including the district of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.

Although Palin later denied she meant the graphic over the districts to look like a gun sight, it is part of the hunting lexicon that critics say she prefers.

Comedian Frank Conniff tweeted: "Hey, Sarah Palin, hows that hatey, killy, reloady, crosshairsy thing working out for ya?"

Then there was this sad event:

Knoxville Unitarian Universalist church shooting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

On July 27, 2008, a politically motivated[2][3] fatal shooting took place at the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church in Knoxville, Tennessee, United States. Motivated by a desire to kill liberals and Democrats, gunman Jim David Adkisson fired a shotgun at members of the congregation during a youth performance of a musical, killing two people and wounding seven others.

In his manifesto, Adkisson also included the Democratic members of the House and Senate,[12] and the 100 People Who Are Screwing Up America [12] of Bernard Goldberg in his list of wished-for targets.

The endless right wing sociopathic rhetoric has been getting innocent people killed, but I guess if you're a sociopath you make no distinction, every one who isn't you or who doesn't think like you is fair game.

Then there was this sick **** that went on under the shrub and Cheney:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abu_Ghraib_torture_and_prisoner_abuse

Beginning in 2004, human rights violations in the form of physical, psychological, and sexual abuse, including torture,[1][2][3] reports of rape,[1][2] sodomy,[3] and homicide[4] of prisoners held in the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq (also known as Baghdad Correctional Facility) came to public attention. These acts were committed by military police personnel of the United States Army together with additional US governmental agencies.[

Revealed in the Taguba Report, an initial criminal investigation by the United States Army Criminal Investigation Command had already been underway, where soldiers of the 320th Military Police Battalion had been charged under the Uniform Code of Military Justice with prisoner abuse. In 2004, articles describing the abuse, including pictures showing military personnel appearing to abuse prisoners, came to public attention, when a 60 Minutes II news report (April 28) and an article by Seymour M. Hersh in The New Yorker magazine (posted online on April 30 and published days later in the May 10 issue) reported the story.[6]

Bagram torture and prisoner abuse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In 2005, The New York Times obtained a 2,000-page United States Army report concerning the homicides of two unarmed civilian Afghan prisoners by U.S. armed forces in 2002 at the Bagram Theater Internment Facility (also Bagram Collection Point or B.C.P.) in Bagram, Afghanistan. The prisoners, Habibullah and Dilawar, were chained to the ceiling and beaten, which caused their deaths. Military coroners ruled that both the prisoners' deaths were homicides. Autopsies revealed severe trauma to both prisoners' legs, describing the trauma as comparable to being run over by a bus. Seven soldiers were charged.

Blackwater Baghdad shootings - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

On September 16, 2007, seventeen Iraqi civilian fatalities and twenty injuries occurred in the Blackwater Baghdad shootings in Nisour Square, Baghdad.[1] The fatalities occurred while a Blackwater Personal Security Detail (PSD) was clearing the way for a convoy of US State Department vehicles transporting diplomats to a meeting in western Baghdad with officials of the United States Agency for International Development. The killings outraged Iraqis and strained relations between Iraq and Washington.[2]
Blackwater guards said that the convoy had been ambushed and that they had fired at the attackers in defense of the convoy. The Iraqi government, as well as Iraqi witnesses and prosecutors allege that the killings were unprovoked.[3][4] The next day, Blackwater Worldwide's license to operate in Iraq was temporarily revoked.[5] The US State Department has said that "innocent life was lost"[6] and according to the Washington Post, a military report appeared to corroborate "the Iraqi government's contention that Blackwater was at fault."[7] The Iraqi government vowed to punish Blackwater.[8] The incident sparked at least five investigations, including one from the Federal Bureau of Investigation.[9] The FBI investigation found that, of the 17 Iraqi's killed by the guards, at least 14 were without cause.[10]

In the kind of sociopathic society that the Republicans seem determined to impose on America, murder, torture, deviance and corruption are SOP. But like any true sociopaths they always blame the other guy, there is no accountability with someone who has no conscience.

All this isn't to say the Republican Party hasn't had some good leaders in the past, Abraham Lincoln is regarded as one of the best and Eisenhower provided stability at a time when a truly sociopathic nation the USSR was threatening to run over the planet.

But as Barry Goldwater's(the last real Republican leader?) former press aide and Bush seniors speech writer Victor Gold points out in his book Invasion of the Party Snatchers the party doesn't really belong to real conservatives anymore anyway. Religious and ideological nutjobs and sociopaths have hijacked it.

http://books.google.ca/books/about/Invasion_of_the_Party_snatchers.html?id=Me_LNLSBi8YC&redir_esc=y

"Like his political mentor Barry Goldwater, Gold pulls no verbal punches in telling the story of how the Bush–Cheney White House has made a mockery of the conservative values it claims to uphold."
-Frank Mankiewicz, former press secretary to Robert Kennedy and George McGovern's campaign manager

"Victor Gold unleashes a bitter yet comic blend of ferocity and ridicule at the neo-conservatives and theocrats who have taken over his party."

They've taken what really was a Grand Old Party and turned it into a freak show.
