Politically motivated mass-murder, harassment of innocent Catholics, media blaming extremist Republicans. I'm feeling right at home!

[Romosome]

Another reminder that WBC are literally professional trolls. They are soulless monsters, but they are soulless monsters with a specific plan to offend people into beating them up so they can collect on assault charges.

I refuse to give in to their goading nowadays. It's just sad and predictable once you know their game.

I still hope solely for the sake of the parents of that girl that someone puts up the cash and beats the shit out of them. They press civil charges instead of criminal, right? That's their game? Maybe someone could hold a fundraiser.

[Brentai]

Beaten up?  Most of the people they're trolling are carrying Glocks now.

[TA]

So, apparently pointing to an environment of constant eliminationist rhetoric and violent imagery being spewed from the right wing?  That's "Blood Libel".

As crazy and disgusting as this is, let's not forget that Giffords is, in fact, Jewish.  Adding insult to injury here.

there should be a community fundraiser to hire a septic tank draining truck and just hose them all down with raw sewage

[Norondor]

alternately, put them in a big pile and burn them, because we don't need anyone like that in our society

[Norondor]

my brother's girlfriend has often lamented the fact that she can't make people piss themselves with her mind; perhaps we can fund research into some kind of targeted sonic/radiation weapon that will do this

[Norondor]

i'm just saying we have options here

[Thad]

WBC agrees not to protest 9-year-old's funeral in exchange for airtime; they'll still be protesting the others.

Apparently the legislature's already unanimously passed a law saying they have to stand 300yd away.  I'll give them one thing: they really DO bring everybody together.

You could do both. Sewage tends to be flammable.

They got radio airtime in Canada?

wha

wh

i don't even

Is that something they requested? Or did they just ask for any airtime and someone pulled a prank on them? I don't see how Canadian gays make God want to smite the US.

It's more fundamental than that: if the Republicans were to use this incident as a springboard for a mental health platform, they would have to show compassion for a murderer, acknowledge that in some way it was not entirely his fault and he deserves sympathy.  That's a hard enough thing for ME to do right now, and I'm a bleeding-heart; it's anathema to the basic principles of the GOP.

I guess.  It's just that the more I reflect on this and the more talking heads I see weighing on it the more I think "somebody who desperately needed mental health care did not get it and now 6 people are dead".  As someone who usually derides oversimplification this is incredibly frustrating.

Like Borowitz tweeted, the way Sarah Palin talks about this thing, you'd think it was -her- who got shot.

[Mongrel]

Well, the last vestiges of her potential run at the presidency (har har) did.

[Royal☭]

I'm glad that Sarah Palin took 8 minutes of everyone's time to remind people that the realm victim here is herself.

[Shinra]

Yeah, the Sarah Palin Assassination Road Trip map is pretty much the worst press for someone trying to make a serious run at the presidency

[Bal]

I'm just excited that we can string her up for using the term "Blood Libel" without having any idea as to what it means. I'm not just hoping she doesn't know what it means, I simply believe her incapable of that level of historical knowledge.

So I'm watching the event at the UofA right now, and they're doing a native blessing. Is this the message we're sending to the world right now about Tucson? We got injuns? Maybe this is cool to people who don't see them every day.

EDIT: DEAR EVERY SPEAKER, SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT THE BIBLE.

[McDohl]

John Boehner decided to say to his dudebro Obama, "No thanks.  I don't want to go to this highly visible to-do and look like not a total schmuck and go look like a total schmuck at a cocktail party for the RNC."

[Royal☭]

Man of the people!

[Mongrel]

So then it turned out that Palin is secretly Jewish and oh man comedy ensued.















Oy! Ve should be so lucky!
