Interesting to hear about the Conservative effort to avoid responsibility for this guy's behavior. The guy shot a Congresswoman who is a Democrat who was targeted by Sarah Palin and Tea Party people. I'd say that this guy was mentally unstable, but not to such an extent that he couldn't act on his political allegiances.

Face it Pubs. Your ideology appeals to these types. Your rhetoric of hate and fear, and the disrespect you show to this incredible president because he wiped the floor with you in '08 and continues to be an enormous success, speaks volumes about the harm you do to this country by your continued presence.

This pathetic individual's act constitutes terrorism and he was fueled by the Conservative ideology.

To me it implies that you need to reload and shoot as in a gun. Would it make me violent, no but I don't have violent reactions to any thing either but can't say the same for others.

That was a stupid thing to say and you know it as much as you know that what comes out of the other side is also. You love to play cat and mouse don't you.

So then the "bring a gun" phrase could appeal to those with violent tendencies???

First they began brandishing weapons at Political Meetings, then they began a deliberate strategy of disrupting political meetings to prevent discussion and intimidate politicians. Then they took to vandalizing their opponents offices and finally people are killed. Straight out of the Brownshirt handbook

Apparently not, and perhaps the reason is that the state budget was cut so much. We don't know, but it's a possibility. Maybe some of the triage is done at the identification level, e.g. he didn't seem *that* bad that he would qualify for state treatment, so the school didn't push for it.
