Conservatives are gonna ride this shooting for a decade plus...

Seriously, fuck this shooter. If he hated em so much why give them the greatest political gift they could imagine.

1. Only if you let them

[oasis]

2. So what? They're the ones allowing unlimited access to firearms.

How could they use this incident against Democrats? What would an ad look like pinning this shooting on a Democratic candidate? What kind of dummy would bring it up in a debate?

3. The dude was mentally ill, with a history of violence. And not a Democrat.

His Facebook page showed he hated the DNC, supported Bernie, then Jill Stein in the general election. He was an Independent-Green basically. And he was batshit crazy. He is not us.

[Ken Burch]

5. And really, how do we know he was the one who created that Facebook page?

Things like that are easy enough to fake.

Bernie's campaign can't be held responsible for what everybody who ever signed up on a volunteer list does when the campaign is over.

6. Bernie's campaign is not responsible. Not once has Sanders ever called for an act as

heinous as this or any act of violence. This man was clear mentally ill.

7. Someone faked posts back to 2012?

I took a look through it before it went down. Posts went back to 2012, all pretty consistent (highly unfavorably) the 1% and super-rich and Republicans.

Is that easy to fake? Especially when his local newspaper has years worth of his letters to the editor on the same subjects?

He went off the deep end, but the idea that it was faked is a dead end.

4. the shooter was a worthless piece of shit and a loser who should have shot himself

many years ago.

[Vinca]

8. Think about all the shootings,though. How many have identified as lefties? One. This nut.

And if the GOP doesn't let this go, we should continually bring up gun control. Yesterdays ballpark shooting was only one of yesterday's shootings and it wasn't even the most serious since no one died.

9. He used guns. He used assault weapons. The RW cannot brush off their accountability for this nor

their contribution to the hostile environment they have created since Obama was elected. You can't get rid of an albatross from underwater.

10. I doubt it...anyone remember Gabby Giffords. It will fade. I only hope Scalise survives.
