"Are the many deviations from the real issue of the SC attack a form of mental illness?" - BOOM!

Making excuses for a killer. The Mental Illness of right wing deniers.

Is racism now a mental illness? I mean many of us could see racism as an unstable and illogical thought process, so why not now treat all racism as a mental defect?

I have been watching the right wing make many excuses over the massacre at the church in Charleston. Trying to make it an attack on religion, suggesting that open carry would have prevented this from happening, and also using black on black violence as an excuse to deviate from the real aspects of this violence, racism. Are the many deviations from the real issue of this attack another form of mental illness?

Even a couple GOP candidates were out in the media making excuses, trying to change the issue from racism to gun control and religious persecution. Do we have a few GOP candidates who can be considered mentally ill now?

Should we now make all racism a mental illness and treat it all as deviant behavior?

It seems the right wing would like this convenience when it meets their political needs.


A load of @!$%# can become a beautiful political argument.
