Rush decry's Batman, movie review sites have to stop commenting on Batman, deadly shooting.


Anyone sensing a pattern?

O'Reilly goes after abortion Dr, websites fill up with hate speech, man kills Dr.

Beck goes after gays/liberals, hate sites repeat and prosper, man kills churchgoers in 'liberal' church.

Palin says 'reload', Fox/NRA gets a stiffy, Gabby Giffords shot after Palin site has crosshairs on her district.


Where's the congressional hearings on hate speech?

It's could have been he wanted a large crowd at night, rather than doing something against the movie.

It's a little early right now.

We don't need to begin speculating until more facts are known.

That said, the fact is that *I* am just learning of this tragedy as I'd not had the television or radio on until just now. And I immediately wondered if there might be some connection to Limbaugh's comments earlier this week about the "Bain" connection.

Again, cool heads must prevail and we have no information yet.

a man walks into a movie theater at night carrying two assault weapons, grenades, wearing a bulletproof vest
and a mask has no motive? So we should all wait and see...

What law abiding citizen does that?

Just carrying those caliber of objects together makes everyone around you nervous because that is not something
people walk around with on a daily basis.

Which reminds me, what happen to Jared Lee Loughner?

the comments hate seems to have been because of super-fandom, not politics.

Maybe the guy isn't a Rush fan.

Maybe he's not the same Jim Holmes from Aurora Co that is a member of the tea party.

How soon until Michelle Bachman incites violence against perceived members of the Muslim Brotherhood? She's doubling down by the way.

Name some 'Liberals' that go on violent gun sprees.

She see's her political career spinning downward out of control and she's trying to stay in the headlines.
