It's so disgusting the way the extremist elements of the right wing have reacted to this tragedy. They either view it as an incident that never really happened and the aftermath is being staged with actors, an incident that did happen and is being taken advantage of by the "libruls", or just an attempt by the government to begin some sort of apocalypse. These people have no sense of what reality even is.

And all of this because they are scared of losing the right to have freaking assault rifles... well that and the paranoia and fear mongering being spread by Rush Limbaugh, FOX News, and Alex Jones. I've seen some deplorable crap come from the right, but the way they have reacted to this tragedy is probably the most despicable and tasteless I've ever seen
