4. all 6 are dead thanx to the hate speech that has infected the radio & t.v.

Liberals and Dems are less then human and hate America

5. Blood on their hands...

Besides the gunman, arguably Palin and others have the blood of a Federal judge, a 9 year old little girl, a 76 year old Pastor and three other individuals on their hands. Not to mention the 13 severely injured. That's some pretty nasty karma to be carrying around....Anyone other than a sociopath would surely feel some guilt and recrimination for their role.

RIP, John, Gabriel, Dorwin, Christina, Dorthy, and Phyllis.

8. V ery sad...to think that these people were exercising their constitutional rights

and they paid with their death. I do blame the merchants of hate wing radio who make millions while they sell this country down the tubes.

10. Their blood is squarely on the hands of every RW hatemonger,

most especially Queen Sarah Crosshairs'.

11. Victims of right-wing terrorism, like...

the 149 government workers killed at the Murrah Building on April 19, 1995
19 children killed in the daycare at the Murrah Building on April 19, 1995
Dr. George Tiller
Pittsburgh Police officers Paul Scuillo II, Eric Kelly and Stephen Mayhle
Vernon Hunter, IRS employee killed in the Austin kamikaze attack
Greg McKendry and Linda Kreager, killed by the Unitarian church shooter
Stephen T. Johns, security guard killed during the Holocaust museum shooting
Raul Flores and Brisenia Flores, murdered by a racist wingnut in Arizona

Right-wing terrorism is a threat to the national and domestic security of the United States. I'm far more afraid of some Beck-loving wingnut going off the deep end then an attack by an al-Qaeda Jihadist.

12. This reminds me of reading the NYT's obituaries of the victims of the 9/11 attack....

Somehow knowing at least a little of the identities of the victims helps make the whole surreal nightmare more manageable-at least to me. I mourn for their lost potential and the pain of their families and friends.
