    So let's see. It's not ok to call Idaho and Arizona bigoted, but it is ok to call southerners bigoted? Very interesting rules you have.

    Typical "liberal." If you had taken your title of "Producer" seriously, you would have known PapaG's very clear "and" entirely straightforward logic. Instead, you are "just" power hungry, you cretin. IMO lol

    Re: U.S. Congresswomen Assassinated

    Of course. That explains why Ed O, Natebishop3, and BrianFromWA are regular contributors to DailyKOS.

    Thanks for the 3 videos made by Jared Loughner, OSUBlazerfan.

    The Sheriff being against you shows that Arizona isn't all bad.

    Link?

    Thanks for the posts, Jayremmie. PapaG's side is having a very bad day.

    He works and supports his family. As a stay at home dad, has your wife returned from her business trip?

    Yes. Being angry at news stations who are supposed to be trusted telling you their sources confirmed her death is an outrage. How evil of me.

    NPR was first. All stations based on NPR's report. Fox said their OWN sources (3 of them) have confirmed the death of the congresswomen.

    It is a big sway of emotions after I changed it to MSNBC and saw them interviewing the sheriff and hospital spokesman. (I don't watch MSNBC, and actually do watch Fox)

    Wait, what? Because I was pissed at Fox not doing their job?

    Please don't bring your overly dramatic ways back around these parts. Thanks.

    If I offended you, please feel free to PM Denny. If you have a problem with what I said, please PM me. Just don't start any more of this drama that you always seem to incite. This isn't the time or place.

    Thanks.

    I hope there's no "Jack Ruby" play in store for us. This whole thing seems to be following the tried and true script of previous US assassinations where the shooter is a lone nut with no clear motive and is quickly silenced while other accomplices/suspects/theories are swept under the rug.

    So this kid was able to legally buy a gun after he was kicked out of school and mandated by the school to have a psych evaluation before being allowed to return.

    Gun control is bad!

    So you're saying that even if we kick Mixum out of the forum he can still come back and shoot up the place?

    ...actually, MARIS is spot-on with this assessment.

    I've read the online stories, and they suggest that the suspect in custody is a schizophrenic. His social media accounts are riddled with no discernible political theory. He talks of conscience dreaming, people's misuse of the English grammar structure, and his ability to use mind control. He speaks about being the treasurer of a new American currency, he goes on and on about the gold standard and government brainwashing.

    It appears neither his school or any parent directed him to a psychiatrist or a mental health treatment facility. He lacked any legitimate outlet for this thinking. He doesn't appear to be connected to any group of like-minded individuals.

    He's an undiagnosed, mentally unstable loner. Where do you go with that? Sure, you can blame Fox News or Sarah Palin. That would be easy, since one of his victims was Democratic congresswoman. However blaming Fox News is too easy. The reality is more complex, and I hope both Republicans and Democrats refrain from over politicizing this tragedy for political gain.

    It's both more complex and more simple: he was crazy, and there always have been and always will be crazy people.

    What do we do about that? Deny everyone guns to protect us from the crazies? Or medicate everyone to keep crazies from emerging?

    I dunno. I agree, though, that pointing a single finger at anyone other than the shooter is an oversimplification.

    You're both wrong. Its Sarah Palin's fault. She should be prosecuted for war crimes.

    all these politicians are funny how they talk about stopping these things from going down. the fact is, if someone is willing to trade their life to take others lives..... theres not much anyone can do to stop it unless they get a lucky break.
