Last year we were warned about violence from the Radical Right and we were also told that is was an over reaction.
And what has it come too? A 22 year old Tea Bagger coward shooting and killing innocents who were mostly elderly and a 9 year old girl.
I hope folks who dole out the fear like the Glen Beck worshipers are happy....or even realize how it probably came to this.
I think Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik said it best;
"When you look at unbalanced people, how they respond to the vitriol that comes out of certain mouths about tearing down the government. The anger, the hatred, the bigotry that goes on in this country is getting to be outrageous. And unfortunately, Arizona, I think, has become the capital. We have become the mecca for prejudice and bigotry."
Who's next assholes?
Sadly too true, I am fully expect that America will find itself in a civil war as the talking heads spread hatred and intolerance throughout the land. Americans have never really understood the meaning of freedom and responsibilty that other democracies have learned over the years. Any country that can tear itself apart on a regular basis with witch hunts and self-proclaimed messiahs claiming that any other point of view except their own is intolerable and will destroy the country.
