This Isn't The First Time, This Just Involved A Member Of Congress

[KingOfLostSouls]

all the cop killings by white nationalists and militias


the church killings in knoxville

the assassination of george tiller

the shootout with byron williams who was going to the ACLU and the Tides Foundation to kill people to start a revolution at the urging of glenn beck.


it's not like this is the first massacre, killing, or shooting in the past 2 years. it just finally made its way to a member of congress.

that's why conservatives are so defensive. because now they have to answer tough questions about the past 2 years that the media has glossed over for them.

1. john lennon, ronald reagan, perhaps Gerald Ford

can't forget those who shot but didn't manage to kill

2. Or maybe this was just a mentally ill person with a bizarre personal grudge

3. "if Giffords did something that was ridiculous or passed some stupid law or did something stupid, he

related that to people"

Passed some stupid law? I guess that has nothing to do with politics?

4. There was a specific incident in which he was not happy with the answer she gave to a question

A strange question that could certainly be called political but doesn't fit any obvious ideology.

5. Yes I saw that question.

6. if it wasn't political

he wouldn't have targeted a political figure.

7. Political does not necessarily mean idealogical

Political figures, like Hollywood celebrities, sometimes become the targets of crazy people simply because of their exposure and notoriety.
