Wasn't this guy a communist? His favorite books were Communist Manifesto and Mein Kampf. Kinda conflicting, eh?

Uh? I was being serious. Why do you hate America?

Not really. The Commies and the Nazis both killed millions of Jews.
Have you ever applied for a green card? Yeah, that's what I thought.
Thanks to whoever gave me the nice comment with the negative rep. My wife has a green card. When you read my post, did it ever occur to you that perhaps I was being sarcastic? Try reading in context next time.

Im not sure what your trying to insinuate. Again, I ask you, why do you hate the country you live in?
Sorry, I thought you were being sarcastic. I don't hate America. I actually quite enjoy living here. What I can't stand are people who refuse to wait before all the facts are known to start using a tragedy to further their point of view. Wasn't it just a year or so ago at the Fort Hood shootings where everyone was urged to keep a level head and wait for all the facts to come out before they ran off and said that all Muslims were evil? So why is the Tea Party getting blasted for what some insane person did? Where is the call for keeping a level head and waiting for the facts?
When would that ever be a viable position?
Never. That's the point, that some people might think that event justified such thinking. It's not saying it does justify such thinking, it's only saying some might try to use it as justification.
Sort of the same thing here IMO.

Yes we should see this headline:
Giffords Shooting: Obama urges caution amid fears of backlash against Tea Baggers
Not to mention the stories can be very well crafted and easily believable to those who are not willing to question everything. I could probably paint as good a picture as anyone about the grand Federal Reserve conspiracy. That doesn't mean I don't think it's all bull **** either. Get enough people behind an idea and it will grow like forest fire. I think this is what really happens in the conspiracy circle. Things become so extravagant, and participants become so inundated with a single POV, that the story becomes reality. It's hard to see any other way when your view is set in stone. Look at The Thriller's track record on here for prime example.

There is already an established history of this nut's evolving Nihlism, he attacked a blue-dog democrat. I think his politics and motive are fairly clear.
I don't know the Congreswoman, or her politics but I reject violence in any form. This is not the way of civil society. Regretably, this will be used to further increase accusations and fear of the the left and the right. The result will be an increase in the power of the police state at the expense of everyones rights and liberties. This has been the pattern for the at least the last 10 years regardless of the party in power. Never let a good tragedy go to waste.
