Okay, I just read most of this thread and feel compelled to insert my two cents due to absolute outrage. Quite frankly, it'll only be a function of typing over speech that expletives don't make an appearance:
People, a CONGRESSWOMAN is most likely near death, and a FEDERAL JUDGE is dead - that is a NATIONAL TRAGEDY, not political talking point.
In case you Americans trying to assign blame to any certain ideology, perhaps it escapes you that we have an electoral process designed to PEACEFULLY settle disputes on leadership according to Constitutional guidelines. The idea that ANY American would, rather than mourn the loss, prefer to draw parallels with ANY American, PEACEFUL movement is DISGUSTING, and those people should be ashamed of themselves. The fact that there are those of you who can't pause even a day in consideration of such tragedy is precisely the problem in a peaceful political process which causes DIVISIVENESS and ultimately, extremism.
Ask any extremist - they have plenty of facts to back up their views. The problem is that they twist the facts in order to justify foregone conclusions rather than examining said facts as a method of drawing such conclusions. And that is EXACTLY what I see happening by certain people in this thread.
Despite what you think about this Congresswoman's views, she's a duly elected representative of the people, and her opinions are permitted by the same Constitution which allows you to openly share yours. The same thing goes for those who are opposed to her views. The idea that either means a damn when one or two lunatics decide to engage in such atrocities is absurd and petty, and speaks volumes about the character of those who'd engage in such speculation, especially with no information or evidence supporting such claims.
Un-freakin'-believable.
