Rappy, you can try to bury your little "choose and perish" statement with a blizzard of off-topic snark, but I really know which side you're on. It was YOUR response I found both offensive and threatening. And coming from a guy who can't even commit to saying whether a flat tax is fair or not... I mean, you're just a little coward who gets all wet when someone does your dirty work. Sorry dude, but if it were possible to have less than zero respect for someone, you would be that person.

Again, Rappy, you are inferring things and motives that I have not implied. All the partisanship, "geeking out" about some wannabe-war, and "phonied up" controversy is in YOUR mind, not mine. I made note of the FACT that Palin had this woman on her target list. I made no connection, but asked if there might be a connection. You're the one jumping to conclusions here, assigning motives and agenda where none have been made clear.

I also asked if the guy might be Muslim. Oddly, you aren't screaming about THAT. Go figure..

By interjecting Palin's face book page image, you made a DIRECT connection. To deny that is to deny reality.

I guess I'll have to defer to your expertise in these matters. After all, you've been denying reality for years!

Oh, and you just implied a connection between this guy and Palin, because you mentioned her name in a thread about the shootings. Surely you'll agree that you see the connection you just made!

He did seem positively giddy about these shootings, didn't he?

I wonder what you all will have to say if he was part of the United Socialist Union, or some devout far-left liberal?

Nobody is saying that Loughner belonged to the tea party. But he certainly was influenced by crazy-talking RWERz like Glenn Beck, and O'Reilly, Hannity, and Limbaugh, and the rest of the untethered, spittle-spraying, violence-inciting crowd.

Say, YOU wouldn't be part of that group, would you?

No, of course not.

I wonder what YOU'LL say if such turns out to be the case. Will you still want to withhold your judgment?

Any evidence that any of those listed above were part of the "United Socialist Union", by the way? Or that they were any kind of "devout far-left liberals"?

By the way, The Zit has already tried to make that case, and fallen flat. Now he claims that "the MSM won't report it". FauxNews says the guy was part of a hard-right anti-government anti-immigrant anti-"Zionist" organization, so clearly they're part of the brainwashed liberal MSM, right? ;)

Oh yeah, and Rappy's "The war has begun", along with "Choose and perish". Rappy, you're ... I mean, wow. So ready to jump on the crazy-train. Threatening people and all. I didn't poke anyone with a stick until you came out with those little gems. And knowing what a coward you are, I decided to say the same to you. Did it give you any insight? Any reflection, so to speak, on your behavior?

T'wasn't I who started off the barrage with " right wing assholes ", inferring that this guy was a right winger. Or posting Palin's fb page info... It's incredible, how hard and fast you Left wingers go to attack those not responsible for this attack, and then claim innocence of doing exactly what you just did.

I thought this was very well said:

A reporter called me a little while ago, and told me that Rep. Gabrielle Giffords had been shot at a public event. She is in critical condition.

I'm going to let others comment on what this means for America. I just want to say what it means to me.

Gabrielle Giffords and I served together on the House Committee on Science and Technology. She was the Chairman of the Subcommittee on Space and Aeronautics, and I was a member of that subcommittee. Her D.C. office was one floor above mine.

I saw Gabby dozens, if not hundreds of times, during our two years together. And nearly every time that I can remember, she was smiling.

Gabby is one of the most cheerful, charming and engaging people I have ever known. She's always looking on the bright side. She has something good to say about pretty much everyone. Bad news never lays a glove on her. She loves life, and all the people in it.

No matter what is going on in your life, after fifteen minutes with Gabby, you'll feel that you can touch the stars.

Everyone knew that Gabby would have a tough race in 2010. (She actually won with 49% of the vote.) But I always thought that if each of her constituents could spend that fifteen minutes with her, and see what she is really like, then she would win with 99.9% of the vote. (Same thing about Harry Teague of New Mexico, who lost, and a few others that I could name.) You would want her as your Congressman, because you would want her as your friend.

I know nothing about the man who shot Gabby, and what was going through his mind when he did this. But I will tell you this - if he shot Gabby out of hatred, then it wasn't Gabby he was shooting, but rather some cartoon version of her, drawn by her political opposition. Because there is no way - NO WAY - that anyone who really knows Gabby could hate her or hurt her. She is a kind, gentle soul.

My heart goes out to Mark Kelly, Gabby's husband, and the many, many people who love her. Gabby, we don't want to lose you. Please stay here with us.

RAPPY: Did I post "Choose and die" and "The war has begun"? That is a far cry from calling someone an asshole. Would the comparison between your threatening statement and my non-threatening one make a bigger impact if I gave you an example of what I could have said that was equivalent? If I had posted with same intent? Something like "They should all die", or "Let's have some target practice"?

As usual, you're weaseling out of what you said. Refusing to take responsibility for what you so clearly posted and meant.

Yanno, you have been dishonest for so long, you don't even know what the truth is anymore. Worse, you're dishonest with yourself. So full of self-justification and rationalization you don't even know what you stand for anymore. You refuse to go down that rabbit-hole of what you call thought, and follow the logic from beginning to end. In your own way, you're as crazy as Loughton and PN.

You think the guy's a hero because he shot a Democrat. I get that. I don't understand WHY you feel that way, but I understand that you DO feel that way. That's how deep your hatred for liberals goes.
