I've been saying things much like this about the recent shooting, just shorter.

From what I understand, the guy who shot her was an anti-Semite who was into reading Communist tracts. There's no evidence at all he was a Republican conservative anything.

I am really disappointed that all my friends are immediately assuming something about his motives. When the Muslim shooter at that military base did that shooting, everyone counseled patience and to wait to prove out his motives. One guy shoots a Democratic representative and a conservative judge and immediately it's a right-wing nut, even though he talks about Communism on his website?

The guy is not a right-winger. He was just insane. And Democrats no less than Republicans are responsible for the inflammatory and divisive environment we're seeing in politics today. And the media too. If I could fire them all, I would.

I haven't come to a firm conclusion about the shooter yet.

*sigh* Yeah, I'd like to fire most if not all of the politicians and media too.
