Completely illegal..

The Left is going nuts by exploiting this situation for political gain. They almost immediately blamed Sarah Palin, talk radio and the tea party when it was a radical Leftist that did this. Rahm Emanuel's never let a crisis go to waste comes to mind.

It's obvious they want to silence all opposition to Obama and the leftist by calling any disagreement "hate". It has not even been 72 hours and we are still just trying to get all the facts. Unreal and complete B.S. !

Recall proceedings ought to begin against the Tuscon sheriff.

Never let a crisis go to waste, eh Beyotch?

This from the woman whose husband probably took a bullet willingly to get out of a life in her company.

Completely illegal.

I completely agree. And yet sadly, President Ronald Reagan helped greatly in bringing us the Brady gun control law.

"Recall proceedings ought to begin against the Tuscon sheriff."

You gotta realize the Univ. of Arizona is in Tucson, plus about a thousand busloads of illegal aliens ready to vote.

Not much chance of getting that sheriff recalled.

"It's obvious they want to silence all opposition to Obama and the leftist by calling any disagreement "hate"."

Already happening. My daughter says that when she asks a black student a question they should be able to answer -- but can't -- they respond with "Why you bees hatin' on me?"

Why did you think the libs wanted "hate" to be declared a crime...?

At least Reagan had the excuse that he was shot with the same gun — by the same hand — that disabled Brady...

This woman's bill will go nowhere. It is a craven political act of a Rat hack. People are seeing through this BS spin and will not tolerate it anymore.

Note the irony from the LI Railroad Wiki entry:

” None of Ferguson’s victims were black, although it was unclear whether any other black passengers were aboard the train.

“After arresting Ferguson, police found pieces of notebook paper in his pockets with scribbled notes with the heading “reasons for this”.[9] One of the notes referred to “racism by Caucasians and Uncle Tom Negroes”

Remember how all of this racism was played down? This jerkov, baited by the likes of Sharpton and Jackson, the NAACP and the MSM had so much hatred built up he kills 6 people.

Yet I guess we were to “understand his ‘black rage’”

I forgot about that. Thanks for reminding me.

It’s obvious what’s going on here. I am just wondering... did the congress act the same way after the JFK assassination?

Anything more than single-shot or more powerful than a BB gun.

She claimed to be a republican at the time of the LIRR shooting. Then switched to supporting Cuomo because he was against the death penalty. Following that illogic she refused to condemn partial birth abortion.

All the while professing her devout Catholicism.
