All Leftists Are MURDERERS!!!

[IMPress Polly]

Look I don't want to come across as minimizing the shooting of Scalise (or anyone else), but I think it's worth pointing out that when it was a Democratic member of Congress (Giffords) on the receiving end of a bullet, rightists were all "Don't blame us, this was a lone gunman acting independently!" But now that it's a Republican member of Congress, the entire political left is to blame, or certainly at least all Bernie Sanders supporters like yours truly.

I know that everyone needs time and room to vent under extraordinary circumstances like these and I definitely wouldn't go about rationalizing this guy-who-I've-never-heard-of's actions like a small number of people are want of doing. There is no excuse. Period. (Yes, I know that Trump has incited violence on a number of occasions before, but even that is ultimately distinct from actually carrying it out one's self, particularly with intent to kill, not just injure. There's no equivalency there at the end of the day.) But with that said, don't you rightists think you're getting just a little carried away with the political implications of this? I'm quickly tiring of every two topics I see on this message board being what you see in this thread title. You KNOW it's not true. I'm not saying "just get over this", but would you please quit being opportunistic piss-asses?

Jared Loughner was a psycho path. He wasn't politically motivated. He was a registered independent.

James Hodgkins was politically motivated and acted out of a political agenda.

Do you disagree with any of this?

[Mister D]

Can no progressive on this board simply admit that their rhetoric has been irresponsible?

James Hodgkins was politically motivated and acted out of a political agenda.

Yes, he was actually diagnosed.

No is asking you to apologize. They're asking you to tone down the crazy. Your hysterics (yes, YOU personally) are problematic.

The guy who shot Giffords was a socialist. Just saying.

You apparently don't understand there are political opinions among most psychos and they encompass all politics.

Fair enough, I guess. But psychopaths have political views too, and if we're willing to get outside the realm of politicians being attacked, then it's not hard to see that most of America's politically-motivated violence is committed by right wing extremists, and I don't just mean the Islamic State and whatnot. Would you like it if I blamed you personally and your rhetoric for Dylann Roof's decision to shoot up a black church? Would you think that fair? Hey, you're a rightist! Guilty by association!

Could you name an example of how I "personally" have caused this Hodgkins guy to shoot Scalise? Get specific.

No one is without sin!!

I said your bat $#@! crazy rhetoric is problematic and it is. Tone it down and stop portraying yourself as a victim. It gets old.
