I heard Cokie Roberts' comments on NPR this AM regarding the shooter.



She said the Dems are all saying he was a follower of Palin and the rethugs are saying he was mentally disturbed.
She phrased it to appear that the rethugs would never use such an occasion to cast the Dems in a bad light.

Totally predictable for Cokie Roberts IMO.

1. Both right: Mentally Disturbed follower of Palin
But the Rigthies have also tried to paint him as a democrat/liberal.

4. Ha! I just wrote I don't think he was a follower of Palin, per se, but you may
have read/heard something that I haven't.

Regardless, it certainly wasn't the hateful Democrat rhetoric that encouraged him to get to this point because we don't do shit like this.

2. I don't think he was a "follower" of Palin, and I do think he has mental issues, but
I think it was the heated, hateful, REPUBLICAN rhetoric that urges people on.

I hate to clump the good Republicans into this, but they stand by and don't say anything.

3. IMO, he was a libertarian which makes him more right than left
His obsession with the constitution - that's libertarian.

6. well maybe cokie needs to understand
that the only ones getting mowed down are liberals and/or Dems. So naturally, we are making something out of it. I would like to feel safe, and i would like to believe my elected dem reps are safe too.

7. How do we email Cokie? She needs to hear from us so we may educate her
because she obviously is clueless once again.

8. Yeah right, Cokie
No one blame any dems for the 9/11 tragedy.
She is a shameless right wing apologist.

9. Did she comment on his "charm offensive?" How he likes to give out nicknames?
...and everyone wants to have a beer with him?

I believe that was her "assessment" of why G.W. Bush would make a "good president" during the 2000 campaign.
