What we have here is a perfect storm: a white rightwing nutcase attacks a liberal Congresswoman using a handgun with a high cap magazine in gun friendly Arizona. This is what the Antis live for. Stand back and brace for recoil.

Best thing we can do is to loudly condemn the shooter as a deranged rightwing nutcase, another Timothy MacVeigh.

This is not going to be pretty.


What you say has nothing to do with the facts : the shooter has been clearly identified as a strong leftist.

The strategy you recommend is dangerously absurd.


Is it too ambitious or too naive to look for an honest politician? Or simply a useful one?
