Horrible. Just horrible. It is imperative that politicians interact with ordinary people; they should not be scared for their lives and cower in government buildings.

So conspiracy theorist with delusions. Glad it's a crazy guy and not, say, a sane right-wing extremist. I am still not happy with Glenn Beck and the like who legitimize crazy conspiracy theories like "George Soros is going to overthrow the government and steal your money" - it DOES influence the crazier people as to what exactly is acceptable when mainstream media is spreading this. Imagine the kind of crap CNN would have gotten if they'd featured 9/11 truthers all the time - why does FOX News still feature the right-wing equivalent?

I mean, you never know. Maybe this guy was crazy enough he'd have gone on a shooting spree no matter what, but his thinking seems to reflect the poison he's drunk. To wit, for those who don't click the link:
