------

someone please explain to me how one is supposed to coexist in a civil society when one part of that society's political spectrum has proven over and over and over again that they are willing to kill you for their beliefs?

prepare for the next week of news coverage doing everything possible to sully the character of the young man who killed giffords, publishing his diary, tearful interviews with exgirlfriends and school mates, and panels of paid psychiatrists doing their damndest to convince the viewing public that this young man is not a representative of his generation, that he is an aberration, and that this murder was the act of a single crazy person, not a political assassination which a large part of the culture is complicit in.
