In April 2009 The US Department of Homeland Security issued its report "Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment."

At the time the right wing nutz told us it libeled vets, wasn't true, was just stirring things up, blah, blah, blah.

Less than 24 months later we have far, far too much evidence - written in blood and tears - that the report was much too true... <a href="http://www.fas.org/irp/epri..." target="_blank">" rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://www.fas.org/irp/eprint/rightwing.pdf">http://www.fas.org/irp/epri...

I never said that a conservative or conservatives were responsible for the shooting. What I've done is point out that he was not a liberal, but I've also said that he was apparently not a conservative.

You, however, said that liberals were responsible, without ever (to my knowledge) retracting that statement.

Thus, between the two of us, the only one who has proven wrong is you.

All indications are that his views are all over the place politically.

Whether that aligns with information from someone who may or may not have known the shooter 4 years ago when they were both in high school doesn't interest me.

Where did you see this interview?

Maybe there's video of it.

That's you being rational. Sadly, most of our right-wing internet brethren turn their critical thinking skills off once they've downloaded their latest talking points.

I do dispute it. <a href="http:\/\/www.dailykos.com\/story\/2008\/6\/25\/1204\/74882\/511\/541568" target="_blank"> Here is the original article.</a> What's missing is the incendiary bullseye target that the wordpress idiot added for emphasis. Also missing are references to second amendment remedies, retreating vs reloading, showing up to rallies unarmed <i><b>this time,</b></i><b></b> gunsights, crosshairs, etc. Kos was targeting bluedog dems for defeat in their primaries, in his usual dry, boring, 'wonky' fashion.

If you think you can equate what's on DailyKos with the violent, ammo-laden rhetoric of pols and pundits like Palin and Angle, you really are hopelessly unreachable.

Hey guys! Ever wonder why a troll like Jared whatshisname.....(he keeps changing it!) would link to an <i> image</i> of an article rather than taking us straight to the article in question? Go on, take a guess!

I'm thinking, deceptive and pathetic tricks like that are how they roll over at Brightfart. LOL

Not shot, but hog-tied and carried off to some hard-labor prison for crimes against humanity, yes. Which, in Cheney's case might be pretty much the same as a death sentence given his weak heart.

All I wanna do when I smoke weed is nosh on graham crackers with peanut butter and watch 'toons. I can't imagine somebody getting high and finding the motivation to go out and assassinate somebody. I guess right-wing trolls will believe any goddam thing they want, lmao.

First I need to know, will they respond to our request for an interview?

Poison darts? Sorry, that's all I can think up right now after seeing that bulls-eye.

"Witnesses report that the suspect was dipping his darts in blowfish neuro-toxin as he threw the deathly projectiles indiscriminately into the crowd."

I once saw a mouth write a check, which the same dude's ass proceeded to cash. These idioms are sometimes based on actual events.

Losing a child may be the worst thing I can ever think of happening to a parent. I feel absolutely terrible for her parents.
