I didn't read this whole thread.

There are some things being said on MSNBC that upset this liberal.

There's nothing wrong with Palin targeting vulnerable congressional districts.

There's nothing wrong with WalMart selling bullets.

Making it illegal for someone to purchase a gun because he used illegal drugs? I actually heard that stupidity, maybe the Army should have reported his admission of marijuana use during a recruiting interview. Hey, duh, if somebody gets illegal pot, what would they do if they wanted a gun? Follow the law? Gun laws would not stop this type of event.

The sheriff was correct, the general tone on talk radio and much of TV is very hateful. Lots of people crying wolf. But, politics is an ugly game, and the gloves are off. It is wrong, however, to post elected officials' and abortion doctors' home addresses, and family member information, on the internet. Directly advocating and aiding violence is wrong.

This guy is a nut. The best response I saw was from Ted Kennedy's son, who laid part of the blame on a failure to address his mental health issues. I agree, we need to do more to reach out and to help people. Maybe if some parent/school/judge/friend would have insisted upon this guy getting professional help, a tragedy could have been avoided?

The people who are trying to make political points over this try to make political points from everything, it's just their way. I find it entertaining.
