    Sorry, the guy was a conservative (a registered republican in the state of Arizona),. And it's true that he was "not right" he had mental problems. But that's what happens when strong public figures rant and weak minds listen.
    The ultimate responsibility lies in the hands of the shooter, but it is hard not to see the connection between what he did and what some of our loudest public voices are saying:


    1. Rush Limbaugh: "I tell people don't kill all the liberals. Leave enough so we can have two on every campus – living fossils – so we will never forget what these people stood for."

    2. Senator Phil Gramm: "We're going to keep building the party until we're hunting Democrats with dogs."

    3. Rep. James Hansen on Bill Clinton: Get rid of the guy. Impeach him, censure him, assassinate him."

    4. Ann Coulter: "We need to execute people like John Walker in order to physically intimidate liberals, by making them realize that they can be killed, too."

    5. Ann Coulter: "My only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times building."

    6. Bill O'Reilly: "ll those clowns over at the liberal radio network, we could incarcerate them immediately. Will you have that done, please? Send over the FBI and just put them in chains."


    I dare you to find a similar list quoting liberal or left leaning public figures.

    and just because he posted on Daily Kos doesn't mean he wasn't also posting on conservative websites, which they have carefully cleaned off since the shooting.

    ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
