Just so you know

It should not matter that Jared Lee Loughner is a Republican. A whack job with a gun killed people and his party affiliation didn't restrain him.

That said, so many Republicans are playing the "not me" game and talking about how only Liberals kill that it is instructive to point out that they've got their own loons. This guy *might* be one of them.

And if he isn't, then how about Timothy McVeigh? Or even the asshole who flew a plane in the IRS building in Austin?

Or how about all these domestic terrorists?

Hate is hate and you need to condemn those who push it as a tool for political gain. THAT is the message and anyone being too defensive about it is probably somehow responsible as well.
