you want to call him crazy based on reading whats required of a 8th grader.
if anything you should call his "new currency" ron paul talk crazy.
meh. Thanks for your enlightened response.
Read the statements of his teachers and classmates and get back to me.
Such anger and vitriol.
i wouldn't have suggested the perfect mate for you if this were true.Such anger and vitriol.
hey darrin, her name is ashley todd.
i don't have her phone number or address. you can get that from wild cobra.
Do you mean in reality, or in yours and Yonivore's threads on the subject? Because I don't think it's a stretch to believe you both would be ALL OVER the partisan angle if the congresswoman were Republican. Sorry.
Anyway, I agree that labeling this guy for partisan brownie points is ridiculous. As is the endless haughty bloviating about the broad societal ills that caused the shooting.
There's really not a whole lot to learn here. It wasn't about crosshairs or books or vitriol in the media or Obamacare or religion or gun control, it's about a ing nutjob going psycho.
Party cheerleading, 24-hour news and political rage certainly have consequences but a lone nihilistic idiot going on a shooting rampage is the least of those. Sometimes tragedy can't be conveniently explained away, nor prevented.
^^^^^This^^^^^^
Well, pish-posh, they'd certainly never lie.
I hope Barry corrects that bit of misspokeness.
Purposefully misrepresenting the AZ immigration law with such talk of doing your grandmamma wrong at the ice cream shop could certainly be seen as riling up potential threats to our gracious and selfless public servants.
amidoingitrite?
I haven't caught up in the thread, but I do want to post right now and say that it really is irrelevant which side does the irresponsible rhetoric more. There should really be a public backlash against it at all times.
Honestly, it speaks to us as a society that this goes down to begin with.
If you say so.
For what, comparing politics to a street brawl, or alluding to guns and knives figuratively?
See the other thread in this forum.
I just disagree with this completely.
The anti government movement associated with the tea party is a powder keg. There is so much anger and resentment on the fringes of this group I think it has to be considered when making statements that they look into.
Antigovernment right wingers aren't exactly new to the terrorist game. Timothy McVeigh, Nichols, and Kazynski all come to mind as extreme anarchist or antigovernment nut jobs who have carried out terrorism here. Those are just the big names.
Its too easy to just write him off as a nut job and to wipe everyone's hands clean of things but I promise you there are events and situations that occurred that molded him to the current situation he's in.
I think the responsible thing to do is to ask whether or not our actions as a society contributed to him doing what he did and whether or not our actions promote these events in any way. Its too damn easy to just blow it off.
Also, I don't know how anyone can look at that reading list and see left wing. The only socialist piece on there the communist manifesto and given the rest of the list I could see him reading it out of a dislike for communism.
If you wanted to give someone a reading list to form a foundation of libertarianism or anarchocapitalism that is a damn good list to start from. You give them the foundation for communism then you tear it apart with Ayn Rand, George Orwell, Ray Bradbury, and Aldous Huxley.
Give it up Manny - stop with the blaming. The guy is a nut job - plain and simple. This is not the fault of the Tea Party. Don't you have some weather to go study?
I like how society is responsible, meanwhile we haven't heard one ounce of information on his parents.
Manny, sometimes it really is that simple. The guy sounds bat crazy.
We get some pretty damn inflammatory rhetoric going in here too...If Parker or Boutons flip out and go postal is it really our fault?
And we haven't heard one word from the shooter himself. The sheriff said he hasn't said anything and is not being cooperative. People are trying to piece together a profile from his friends and acquaintences.
