    you should stop right there.

    she didnt do a single irresponsible thing. not one tiny ounce of irresponsibility. not even a slight tiny shred of the most unimaginably small amount of irresponsibility.

    i would be shocked only if this didnt happen. this is 100% predictable and the least shocking event of the last 10 thousand years.

    Listen to martin. He's exactly right.

    Also, Red has gone so far to the left now that I don't think even he will continue the charade of being a moderate.

    The more I think about this the more it makes me think of Columbine when Marilyn Manson was blamed for his song Lunchbox.

    Every few years, Rock N Roll will be blamed for something.

    Agreed.

    Yes we see this from both parties.

    It's not entirely one-sided, but neither is it balanced. The political terrorism in this country is overwhelmingly from the right . . . Timothy Mc Veigh, The Olympic bomber, the Montana militia, Ruby Ridge, the abortion clinic assassins and arsonists. The left-wing kooks chain themselves to redwood trees, stage protests, and attack whalers in rubber boats.

    The arizona kook may be unrelated to extremist political rhetoric but the problem is still there.

    Both parties have been guilty of this in the last 10 years.

    Which is fine, but radio and TV commentators must hold to some basic responsibility not to incite unrest, as should politicians. People are tired of the partisan warfare. Most of America call themselves moderate and wants practical, compromise positions to be heard as well as extreme ones.

    You're so obsessed with mischaracterizing MY politics that you do a poor job of selling your own.

    You're like SIU on Gary Crowton. You've made this silly point 1,000 times and everyone knows how you feel. Is it necessary for you to say it 1,000 more times?

    You fear moderate, pragmatic viewpoints because they make too much sense.

    If you feel like conservative pundits caused this loon to shoot people then you are far left. That's just the way it is.
