Jim Adkisson is driving me mad
Not him specifically; although I'm obviously upset at what he did (although not surprised).

No what is driving me mad is the fact that Conservative Commentators do not seem to be called on to respond to him and what he means for their movement. As near as I can tell, out side of a few bloggers and Freak Republic, Conservatives are happily ignoring Adkisson. How does that work? Why aren't they being made to answer some tough questions about what they do and how they do it?

Or am I missing their responses?

2. These were the same Yo-Yo's who blame Rap, Video games
Marlyn Manson, Judas Priest, The Deer Hunter, and others for any violent actions committed by disturbed individuals, oh but now? Twisting in the wind Sean?

3. That's my point - they should be twisting in the winds - but they are happily ignoring it n/t

4. That's the problem
we became lazy as a society and didn't guard against encroachment of our civil liberties...this permeated every facet of life, which means corporations took over and got breaks etc that they shouldn't have...now we are stuck with a corporate morality and means as long as it doesn't hurt the bottom line: "who cares" this desensitizes us as a society and that means no introspection when some thing like this happens!

6. Let's See If They Cover His Trial
Does Tennessee allow for cameras in the courtroom?

The trial also would release the dude's rambling letter and other evidence...and then let's see is there's a whitewash.
