Today's school shooting

I'd say something about it but there's nothing new to say anymore.

What an irrelevant and ignorant statement. I suppose the suspected molotov cocktail found at the scene was theNRA, too.

Opinionated socialist with a shotgun. Sounds like Joe Biden.
Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

Beebs, who the fuck mentioned the NRA? Got that guilty conscience thing going?

Irrelevant? You honest to god don't see the connection? Unhook that Kool-Aid IV, turn off Faux "News", you should recover some IQ points in time.

Oh, and Happy Holidays!

The NRA has milked the "Obama's going to take your guns away so buy a bunch of them now" panic for all it's worth. Gun ownership has been going down so they have to resort to scare tactics to try to boost sales.

See, here's one different between liberals and conservatives.

When conservatives milk something its to get more money from their constituents.

Merry Festivus to you, too. Bless your heart. Perhaps my comment was too harsh. But, based on your follow up...nah.

Relax Beebs the shooter doesn't fit the progressive narrative so he will soon be forgotten while they continue to dream of a Tea party shooter.

It is so cute when suitguy and Beebs go into teabagger mode. But confusing-- I can never
remember which one thinks he's clever and which one thinks he's funny.

Um, you know Beebs is not a he right?

And since the Newtown shooting was one year ago today you all have me really angry.

Thoughts and prayers to those families while you guys all snark at one another.

You made me laugh, which I suppose is no worse than the other comments in this sad thread . What your kind oflibtard doesn't understand is that not all who disagree with you are "teabaggers". Our local tea party is a mix of idiots, crazies and wannabes. Sort of like your cohorts. I also have never owned a gun nor belonged to the NRA. I assume you're using the collective "he" or else I' d wish you the best on your memory loss.

Christie, some victim's families were interviewed last night. One father is a hunter. They're working on programs to maybe prevent atrocities in the future including mental health, gun safty, etc. I thought ne's comment was, indeed, irrelevant. Even Bobj didn't comment. Sorry I reacted but these events aren't owned bya select few groups.

We are good Beebs, I just took offense to the concept of the subject line being so cavalier. And here in CT this is especially near to our hearts. We lost a beautiful young woman from Stratford, Victoria Soto, and today we are mourning the loss of both the young children and the teachers one year ago.

So conservative leaders recognize the stupidity of their own followers and take advantage of it for all its worth.
