    Fuck you, I am a cheerleader for nobody.

    Ooh, are you sure? Don't want to give me too much credit.

    What the fuck does that even mean? And what are "these kinds of things"? Gun nuts going off?

    What is the "it"? Are you stuck in the 70s? Are you thinking of the Weather Underground? Have you HEARD of Right Wing Militias?

    Who is cheering on hate? Jesus, just go on Twitter and look at the replies to anyone with a remotely Jewish name if you want to see hate.

    Denny, this is really a time when you should just STFU with your usual babble. Let's just agree that it is terrible that politicians get shot at. We can agree on that, right?

    So you come in here with a fucking narrative already, go figure from the guy that posts 24/7 about trump and replies to people with verified journalists from twitter on the left because it fits the narrative. Stop. Just stop. The fucking pieces of the puzzle are there. It was obviously politically motivated but you would rather try and spend time to denounce that it was some guy from the left then talk about the issue at hand here


    This dude just try to gun down a bunch of people playing baseball, I don't give a fuck if they are left or right, it's fucked, and the only thing that saved them were guns from the officers there. Jesus Christ

    We agree it's terrible that politicians get shot at.

    I'm surprised you don't realize how the constant stream of ridicule and hate in all those tweets and in the media doesn't contribute to pushing a nut case over the edge.

    Thank goodness the other side is upholding standards of decency and love, or who knows what might happen.

    So, just to recap, you ARE a libertarian, right? So you believe that free speech is dangerous, you just think it's worth it, because better to die free in a pool of blood than live safe?

    You know what, Denny, you're right. It's dangerous for me to read things that make me angry. So can you change the settings on this forum so I can put you on ignore? I think we'd all benefit.

    I think free speech is free speech. Inciting riots or someone to violence is still a crime. With Rights come Consequences for your actions.

    Also: none of those guys are on my twitter feed. Oddly enough I just see people condemning the shooting on mine.

    Good for Pelosi. However, while I appreciate and agree with the sentiment of unity in denouncement of the act, and would love to see an end to partisan divisiveness, I have to wonder: if in fact they were targeted because they were Republicans, isn't it kind of dismissive to say that "on days like today, there are no Democrats or Republicans"?

    It somewhat reminds me of how--a year ago--it was super important to point out that the victims of the Pulse nightclub shooting were LGBT, and it was considered disrespectful and even bigoted to talk about empathy for the victims and their families without acknowledging the reason that they were fired upon.

    I'm not the one suggesting we get rid of (insert name here, Trump in your case) AT (almost) ALL COSTS.

    Wow, that was so empty an answer you could be Jeff Sessions. Oops, my bad, that comment was hateful wasn't it? Apologies in advance if I've triggered any violent nutcases.

    Of course, neither am I, but don't let that stop you. And I'm totally serious about the ignore stuff. Please make it happen.

    Rep. Mark Walker says gunman targeted congressional baseball practice 'to kill as many Republican members as possible'

    Rep. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.)
    recounted an "odd" encounter he had as he was leaving the field just minutes before the shooting: "There was a guy that walked up to us that was asking whether it was Republicans or Democrats out there, and it was just a little odd," DeSantis told Fox News.

    Oh come on. I gave you the answer, too bad you didn't like it.

    Like it's fine to own a gun. It's not fine to shoot someone with it (except for FEW exceptions).

    The people whose tweets I posted read your feed.

    Funny, you have a point, and it's exactly the point that BLM activists make against "all lives matter". However, (1) we don't know that the guy who asked if they were Democrats or Republicans was the shooter yet, and (2) you know that she means "I feel for you as much as if you were the same party as me".

    Your ability to say complete bullshit with total conviction is awesome.

    The good news is that the commercials I see on CNN are the same ad council ones over and over (for meals on wheels, for example). Kind of a sign they're not attracting legitimate and well paying advertisers. Of course, it's Trump's administration that's buying these ad council ads and paying for meals on wheels (for now).
