    That is why I was asking DD why he was saying Bernie didn't. Bernie disavowed his radicalized campaign worker who just shot up congress. It was both the right and smart thing to do.

    Wow. This tragedy is something either for both sides to agree on, or for each side to pick and choose what to hate.

    Sigh, another left wing nut job. Thankfully he was a terrible shot.

    Remember when Trump suggested that people shoot Hillary?

    http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/article/why-trumps-violent-rhetoric-is-protected-speech/

    Some articles where Trump egged on his supporters to be more violent. There have also been countless acts of violence against Muslims since the presidential campaigns. Anyone who wants to equate the culture Trump is running versus violence from the left is seriously deluded. Trump's entire strategy is to get people angrier at each other so that his supporters think he's doing more for them.

    Meanwhile he's just making bank while his constituents look the other way :rolleyes:. First countries he visits and makes deals with... Russia and Saudi Arabia... lawl. He doesn't care for his dumb supporters and he certainly doesn't care for the health of America.

    And shocking to no one - This horrible situation is now a political knife fight.

    Millions and millions of Americans are liberal Democratic voters who hate guns with a passion and one maniac with a history of violence and abuse with a guy goes on a shooting rampage and folks on the Right want to blame normal folks like myself for opposing the same President that this maniac opposed??

    Shame on you if you want to go that low and use this as a political tool to suppress political opposition. Democrats should show support for the victims and call out for unity as Americans as we all for the most part condem violence and want to be unified.

    However after the country has healed, you better believe things like healthcare, etc we are going to fight just as hard for politically.

    It's very American to show love to everyone and at the same time disagree completely on Politics.

    Despicable.

    When will the left be accountable for their despicable behavior? It's now becoming a daily occurrence, whether it's holding a decapitated head of President or a play of Trump getting assassinated, you people need to calm the **** down.

    The right's rhetoric is violent.
    The left's actions are violent.

    Maybe it's even.
    Honestly this is no ones fault but the shooter.

    People need to be smarter and not be baited in by the rhetoric.

    LOL. Because it was democrat who body slammed a reporter when he didn't like his question and a democratic legislator who threatened to shot another legislator.

    It seems that xenophobia and nationalism is being met with resistance. But don't worry, right wing militias are very numerous so you'll have lunatics on your side too.

    It's not even comparable at this point. Leftists are mentally unstable. Hate to generalize but it is what it is.

    Meanwhile While some of our friends on the Right continue to exploit a terrible act of violence for political punches...



    Leftist activist groups are going out of their way to show support to the other side of the Isle.

    Scalise is still considered in critical condition so sending thoughts and prayers. Hope his condition improves.

    I mean, do you read your own posts. They're enough to destroy any argument about the "left", something you use with a minimal understanding of the word.

    Republicans goons have been doing things for years preaching hate and discord and guys like you just keep shoveling the same inflammatory rhetoric and have been getting away with it.

    Thanks for proof reading.

    Please point out what you consider inflammatory rhetoric I have posted. I disagree with this accusation.

    Explain what you mean by getting away with it? Not getting shot?

    Thank you for disavowing dems like Terry McAuliffe who stumbled through his anti gun talking points a mere two hours after the shooting.

    I don't think anyone is blaming normal folks for this.

    Yeah....he fell so hard for Trump that he didn't even vote for him.....

    It's okay to admit that the Portland guy was a Bernie bro. His own words state exactly how hard he fell for Bernie and any Trump talk was pretty clearly a result of his hatred for Clinton for "stealing" the primary election from Bernie....and even that wasn't enough for him to vote for Trump. Like any extremist nutjob, his views were all over the place, but you only make yourself look ridiculous when you try to deny the obvious.
