Right. Because the right-wing propaganda machine that is infecting this country with venom and hatred has no effect on anything. Words don't matter. Invective doesn't matter. The growing fervor of the pale-brained neo-con movement doesn't matter.
It's all imaginary. Democrats aren't being shot. Their windows aren't being broken. They're not being sent packages that ignite at post offices. They're not receiving death threats. They're not being accused of actually trying to destroy America. They're not being called communists by conservative newscasters. The same newscasters don't rail against federal judges and claim they're destroying the Constitution. The conspiracy nuts aren't focusing their rage on the Democrats.
We have a reasonable disagreement. That's all.
None of this is happening. This event, and all events that might make my side look bad, occurred in a vacuum. You know that. Don't try to lie, now, to make my side look bad. Don't try to make this political, you scum. This shooter was deranged, that's all. There is no cause and effect here. One cannot influence the deranged.
This was not political. This couldn't possibly have been political.
