There has been a shooting at The Arkansas Democratic Party Headquarters. Party Chairman, Bill Gwatney, has been hospitalized in critical condition. The suspect was shot by the police. Details are still coming in.

Makes me wonder if there was some angry trash talking that got out of control? People are getting a little too carried away with this election.

I wonder if it's another case, like the shooting in Knoxville, Tenn., of an unbalanced individual spurred on by right wing hate radio and literature?

Yeah that really would not surprise me. Right-wing radio is sooo incredibly hateful. It really makes me sad. The sad thing is how many people listen to them everyday and believe the lies that they hear.

I hate to think such a thing--but this is Arkansas. Makes me wonder if there's a Clinton connection. (Someone upset by a presumed snub, or something like that.)

Pretty unlikely, since the gunman went in pretty clearly focused on Gwatney and shot him 3 times, but didn't shoot anyone else.

Why is everything a hate thing with you?

If anything its the soros moore looneys who listen to the anti American Keith Oberbama that has the aggressive ways.

Look around, rep people do not act aggressive, its the liberal wackos who take matter into their own hands like this.

It is sad when it comes to this, then someone like you comes out pointing the finger when you have no clue as to what happened.

If it is so hateful then why are the top 4 radio and the top 3 tv shows all conservative ones?

You have the hateful party mixed up.
