This is clearly the work of a deeply imbedded, highly organized Christian terror organization.
Republicans need to respond to obvious evil like this in order to what? Prove they're not alright with it?
Does any reasonable person question that they think it's as deplorable as democrats?

...not be so predictable in what obviously evil crimes they condemn publicly.
Plenty of those in America. Tea Party, NRA, Republicans, etc
So what exactly are you're trying say? What's the implied meaning behind their silence? You're beating around a bush.
My criticism is less about their silence here and more about their opportunistic bloviating when the bad guy looks like someone their voters will cross the street to avoid on the sidewalk.
Like when? Can you give an example?
I'm not feigning ignorance, I really don't keep tabs enough on these politicians' Twitter feeds to have any idea.
For example... Shortly after two extremists targeted a Muhammed art contest earlier this year in Garland, TX, several Republican Presidential candidates made the TV news rounds to discuss the growing threat of Islamic extremism in the states and criticize the Obama administration for not recognizing the threat. Huckabee, Cruz, and Jindal come to mind immediately. I don't archive tweets or news segments so obviously there could have been more.
a lone wolf terrorist, read the Bible front to back, anti-abortionist, when arrested, mumbled "no more baby parts"
Thanks, CMP and CarLIE Fiorina.
Your LYING vids and doubled-down LIES have mortal consequences, intentional "loose lips" sink innocent people.
I've no idea of knowing whether they were solicited for responses or not.
Either way, that's the way politics is played, sadly. Political pandering is a rampant thing on both sides. Are you going to admit that, or is this a case of selective criticism? 'Cause I'm sure I can do the same thing with Dems who've commented on this tragedy by pointing to an instance(s) where it was politically expedient for them to remain silent.
I got that.
Republicans exaggerated, set off a lone nut wolf nut case.
Please dont equate this this with a massive movement of highly organized, intelligent, zealot, killing machines who slaughter innocent kids in Paris. It's not the same.
It's just not.
I understand the origins of both. I believe if Christians were brought up in highly chaotic, dysfunctional environments, they might react the same way...but...
There are clearly posters linking these incidents.
It's disingenuous and simplistic.
Had he pretended fake outrage at the mass killing it would have counted just as much.
actually, he ended up denouncing it
http://www.texastribune.org/2015/11/...ting-colorado/"We don’t know ... what those motives were, but whatever they were, it’s unacceptable, and it’s horrific and wrong,” the Republican presidential hopeful told reporters here before a town hall.
Cruz knows exactly what he's doing with his anti-abortion, anti-woman, Christian Sharia supremacy bull . Of course he has to condemn murder, but he knows Ms of his Christian Taliban followers are privately thrilled that PP got shot up, baby-murderers got murdered, shot up.
And what about any condemnations from the anti-abortion leaders, pastors, etc?
Abortion Clinics, White Christian Terrorism and GOP Candidates
Americans are more at risk from violence by armed white Christian fanatics than they ever were from Muslims.
Abortion clinics have been targeted for violence by fundamentalist Christians of a violent bent for decades.
In 2009, Dr. George Tiller was relentlessly shot to death by Scott Roeder, who insisted that the good doctor was satanic because he performed abortions.
Dr. John Britton was murdered in 1994 on similar grounds.
A strain of Christianity in the United States has never accepted Roe v. Wade, which made it a woman’s right to have an abortion.
Not accepting it for oneself is a matter of conscience, and there is nothing wrong with that. But not accepting it for other people is a form of coercion aimed at depriving them of a legal right.
Deploying violence against people to halt abortions is the textbook definition of terrorism, which in the 1990s the Federal Code sensibly defined as non-state actors using violence against civilians to achieve a political aim.
Much violence and coercion at Planned Parenthood (only 3% of its activity has to do with abortion) is inspired by Christian fundamentalism.

Here Are All The People Applauding The Planned Parenthood Shooter
http://thoughtcatalog.com/jacob-geer...thood-shooter/
As if these white Christian Taliban gave the tiniest about "saving black babies".
How the is this not called terrorism by our piece of media?
Shoots up the place because Obama is letting them sell baby parts? sounds like it's straight out of Hannity's mouth.
BigCorp media doesn't want to piss off the Christian Taliban, pro-abortion 10Ms
murdering non-combatants for political objectives is terrorism.
I've never claimed otherwise. Dems certainly exploit controversy for the sake of pandering. I don't like it from either side, but I'm not going to equate the two either, even though that's the PC thing to do. The Right's pandering is worse, IMO, because it often seeks to make a privileged majority feel like an oppressed minority by stoking fears towards actual minorities.
Mike Huckabee: Anti-abortion shooter is ‘abominable’ like Planned Parenthood killing ‘millions of babies’
http://www.rawstory.com/2015/11/mike...ons-of-babies/
LYING false equivalence, but LYING is all the Christian Taliban, Repugs run on.
Possibly because they still don't have a motive and the civilian killed wasn't in planned parenthood and no one from planned parenthood was killed?
Cruz sees the value of hypocrisy. That's much to his credit politically.
Garden variety mass killing.
Move along, folks, nothing to see here.
