Reply #21: It absolutely WAS a political attack

I do agree that the impetus may not have been adherence to a specific ideology, but he tried to kill a representative in the US House. Whether he did it because she was too moderate, too conservative, too Liberal or he just didn't like the way she talked, he tried to kill a congressperson, which makes it political AT LEAST on some level.

What confuses me is shooting up all the other people. It's doubtful he knew any of them, but chose to kill them anyway.

We can strap a tin foil hat on and say that he is 'throwing the dogs off his tracks' by targeting collateral damage and putting a bunch of left-wing books on his myspace (with right wing) to in the least confuse people who are trying to figure out his agenda.

Honestly I don’t know what made this guy tick, but I am fairly certain that he didn’t see Palin’s website and decide to start shooting.

So I won’t blame the right ‘for the shootings’…but the shootings underlie a real problem with the right and their blatantly violent discourse. Liberal hunting permits, 2nd amendment solutions, etc….the freaking day Obama was elected they were marching on Washington.

At least Democrats waited until Bush fucked up (invaded Iraq) to march and in fact the Pretzledent had a 90% approval rating prior. If Obama could walk on water and cure cancer he’d still have 25% who hated him and a good many of them who would love to kill him. There is no doubt in my mind of that.
