Not the same at ALL. The right has never said the victims deserved to die because of their political affiliation.

The left disgusts me a little more every single day....

So now defending our constitutional rights is considered classless, rude and insensitive. But using the tragedy to further a political agenda is not. Only in liberal-land.

Politicizing the disaster while they're still looking for survivors?

i'm saying shame on you to dare bring up 'pork', which is in the eye of the beholder, when there is a disaster of this magnitude!

She's a flocking idiot anyway. To be fair, she did say she was sorry. I don't think people like her deserve one ounce of attention, time to move on and rise above it.
