But this shooter guy is a heavy weed smoker, registered democrat, and has been living in the woods for a while....at least that’s the story I read this morning.

What happened to, “don’t rush to judgment”? I guess that’s only for Muslims.

What Gov. chickenpoooper doesn’t admit is, anyone who lets rhetoric and talk shows goad them into mass murder is CRIMINALLY INSANE, and should be off the streets.

Blaming those things, and gun, is just the liberal opportunists way of pushing their real agenda. If they would put half their effort in consoling the families, and caring for the wounded, they would come off with a smidgeon of credibility. Otherwise, it’s just more liberal-speak.

Colorado has no death penalty at this time. The state penitentiary looks fairly new, and Colorado has a better climate than South Carolina.

I think Mr. Dear has come up with a better retirement plan than most 57 year old moonbat liberals.

What if the rhetoric is Islamist rhetoric? Then they are terrorists. Why is this different?

Politically motivated violent act to bully people into behaving the way one particular group thinks is correct. Terrorism.

We’re not bombing terrorist for their rhetoric, but because of their bombs, beheadings, burnings, drowning, and mass terror attacks.

This tactic no longer works on the masses with the rise of muslim terrorists and the left’s unwilling to denounce its rhetoric or say muslim terrorist.

Gov. Chickenpoop, be the first state to ban free speech, then your state will be safe.

I’m talking about whether or not Dear’s action is terrorism. I believe it is.

OK, Governor, please tell me how one can speak gently and kindly about killing human babies, cutting them up, and selling their body parts to the highest bidder?

The Progressives are certainly consistent, you have to give them that.

When crazed jihadists murder over a hundred people in Paris that has nothing to with Islam.

When a crazed bank robber takes shelter in a Planned Parenthood clinic that has nothing to do with Islam either!

Don’t you need electricity to run your radio to listen to talk radio? He didn’t have electricity so how did he hear talk radio.
Sure knew where to buy that old Colorado pot.

Care to make a bet?

The coordinated talking points coming from the left and their allies in the MSM have been worked out in advance and they were just waiting for the right event to use them.

The talking points campaign we are hearing now, not just in this country but also overseas, is no different than the talking points campaign after the attempted attack on Pam Geller, “right wing extremist hate speech” is fueling violence.

I bet pretty soon the narrative from the left will be the terrorist that attacked in Benghazi had picked up on the “right wing extremists hate speech” comparing Obama to Jimmy Carter and the attack was planned to mimic the taking of hostages by Iran under Carter.

In fact I bet it won’t be just the attempted attack on Pam Geller and Benghazi that will be blamed on “right wing extremist hate speech” but also the other terrorist attacks/attempted attacks.

We’re seeing the left and their allies in the MSM create a new and improved version of the “spontaneous” lie.

Yesterday I managed to quickly and effectively shut down a Liberal friend who was peddling this line by pointing out how SPLC’s hate rhetoric and the Left’s attacks on Chik-fil-A incentivized that nutjob to try to shoot up Family Researc Council.

There are PLENTY of examples of Left-wing hate rhetoric spurring nutjobs to violence. Fair game to use them as ammo in responding ...
