I gotta say this:If this shooting happened in a blue state, they'd be saying it's God Wrath

and you damn well know it.

While I agree that it is grotesque to assign spin to this, I tend to think we should play the game we're IN, not the game we WANT to be in, and, for me, that means 'politely' pointing out that they blamed Katrina *AND* 911 on teh gays, where is their fire and brimstone now?

I'm just sayin'...

As much as I wish we didn't have to do it, we can turn this into a teaching lesson. Lord knows if ANYTHING else will work with them.

Hurricanes are God's wrath.

Random mass shootings by white male Americans are freak tragic accidents.

Of course, random mass shootings by, say, a Muslim on an Army base, is proof positive that God hates Democrats and Barack Obama is a Kenyan interloper. smh

And we SHOULD ask them why they don't do this when it's a red state. Notice Katrina was teh gays and Rita was just unfortunate.
