Same personality types, different political agendas. Have always believed that under the psyche of an individual is far more likely to get one to the nub of the matter, than taking his rhetoric at face value All three examples involve personality types who are drawn to dubious causes through a paranoid mistrust of government due to their failure to comprehend what government actually does and does not do.



But what about the clown that tried to snuff Wallace in '72? Hinckley? Chapman? The guy that killed the My Sister Sam sidekick? The Manson girl that waved a gun at Ford? The other gal who popped a round at Ford? They all had a paranoid distrust of the gubmint? Oswald was in Fair play for Cuba,but I think it was established that he was the single member. But assuming he was, how do you explain him popping a round at General Walker? No lib he. He was actually way off to the right. No, Oswald was a lone nut, the key phrase being "nut". All these people were pretty well established to be wackjob stalker types, but you must know something no one else does.Hinckley was trying get higher taxes instead of doing a Travis Bickle to impress Jodie Foster?

I'm not saying there's no such thing as politically based assassinations. Boothe was a perfect example, altho he certainly was also "look at me" mentality. The Puerto Ricans that tried to kill Truman were politically motivated, no doubt. But I'm sorry, most of the assassinations of political figures in this country have been lone nuts. Because that's what lone nuts do.

Now, just for fun, why don't you give us the names of Teabaggers who have popped a cap at a political figure. Just 5 names. It's a fairly big movements, so there must be at 5 who have resorted to violence. What are their names? If there aren't any, do you just know in your belly that they will? Is that Beckle and Oberman tell you? Or do you just know it? Is it an almost paranoid belief? I think we all know the answer, don't we?
