Not supposedly sir! A Muslim fanatic “did” shoot and kill someone! He did not just “shoot up an office”. Kindly tell me what is the difference between the atrocity that happened today - and the atrocity that happened at the recruiting office?

There is NONE!

Nice to know that I’m crazy. What with my being a responsible law-abiding citizen, and there being no apparent statistical global correlation between violent crime and per-capita firearm ownership, but a massive correlation between violent crime and wealth disparity, which is why I’m a progressive civil-libertarian to begin with.

Has anyone seen my straight-jacket?

I hope I am out on a limb here, but I would be astonished if there is any amount of public pressure that could get the commercial media to put David Neiwert on the nation’s TV screens. Outside chance for Rachel, but it will not happen on the main networks or CNN. What he says is outside of the discourse that is acceptable to those that own the media — there is a lot of money being made spewing hate and no one is allowed to question making money that way, even those who would not think of doing it themselves.

I heard Mark Potok of SPLC interviewed earlier re hate groups. It’s a start, but nowhere near sufficient. This is a teachable moment, an opportunity to set aside the shallow screaming that passes for intelligent information on the MSM these days.

Spotlight to the media, we must demand that the truth be told instead of the usual ranters’ screeds.

Maybe Elliott’s Sunday morning contact list is a good place to start, too.

They don’t want David on because he would make the neglect and obfuscation of the “Mainsteam” clar. Just now on CNN a so-called “expert” was comparign this incident to “radical environmentalists.”

The government has been too busy tracking the activity of the Quakers and MoveOn.org (and lefty bloggers).

Don’t forget those evil terrorists in ACORN!!!
