Irrelevant to this story.

I find interesting his comments to the whole room as he was being led away. There were righties and lefties, but he called them all wh*res.

No, he's just expressing exasperation at the fact that prior discussion of the Tucson shooting was closed down during the immediate aftermath, as a temporary measure to allow the board to "cool down". And because the predominance of those discussions seemed to be centered on how political rhetoric, viewed largely to be coming primarily from the "right wing", may be contributing to this type of thing happening, there was a perception that the "liberal" point of view was being "shut down" and/or "censored."

Now that discussion has been re-opened, we get a thread with this kind of unwarranted vitriol directed at "the left", and there's question as to whether this will be "allowed" to remain.

The claim came from the other poster. Not your business.

ABC’s This Week Airs Alleged Death Threat From Shooting Victim to Tea Party Leader

Now, this was the man who blamed Palin, the Right, Beck, Fox and Boehner I believe for the shooting in AZ.

The man was arrested and involuntary detained at a mental health facility.

The second video shows the police taking him away and the participants said he shouted to the crowd, "you're all wh*res".

This is a sad story of a unhinged person

Well said but as you can see none of them are willing to see it.
Oh Well,

And we now know those accusations were false, don't we?

Unwanted vitriol?

The posting of a huge news story about a shooting victim making death threats to a TP member?

There is not vitriol here, just facts.

It is all over the news headlines today. There is no smearing or lying about it.
