my neighbor is blaming the Aurora shootings on Obama..

[HipChick]

Apparently,Obama recruited him to go crazy with guns,so he can now justify taking away guns...
i had to walk away,the stoopid hurts...

[maddezmom]

1. he must be a fan of alex jones and the like

fucking idiots.

[HipChick]

6. a mind control victim

i heard it all now...

[freshwest]

29. Oh, yeah, that was on a thread that got locked. The gummint is controlling us with...

Well, you know, all that fancy gadgetry they have... HAARP, MKUlra, the Men in the Moon, etc.Same thing with McVeigh, all the way back.

The 24/7 hate and fear radio and teevee couldn't possibly control anyone's minds because... They're all patriots trying to protect our free-dumbs!

And anyone who doesn't vote for Ron Paul is a sheeple and an enemy of the Republic.. Oh, it goes on and on..

I am sorry that you are having to listen to that zombie... Damn scary it is, to have them so close by.

[sasha031]

7. That's exactly where he's getting his info

it's to new nut conspiracy in crazy right wing world. I have a lunatic so called friend on FB, just to observe what is happening on loony planet.

[Dawson Leery]

41. Jones is a kook, as is anyone who takes him seriously.

[johnnie]

2. Do you live next to a mental hospital?

It's hard to believe that there are people out there like that, but I believe you.

[rfranklin]

3. People like that used to roam the halls of insane asylums...

then bleeding heart liberals let them live amongst us real Americans.

[Thinkingabout]

16. The name of the bleeding heart liberal is Ronald Reagan

Entail illness is something we don't address very well.

[rfranklin]

21. It was a joke...yes I remember when they started dumping patients on the streets to save money...

And then people wondered why there were suddenly so many homeless people on the streets.

[whathehell]

33. Me too...

I frequently have to explain to younger people how we

didn't "always" have a homeless population.

[Cooley Hurd]

4. Your neighbor wins the prize...

...fir the dumbest turd walking.

[ananda]

5. So ...

not able to look at our own faults, are we now a country
of blame and projection????

[thelordofhell]

8. Your neighbor's a moran

[handmade34]

9. the stupid not only hurts...

it makes it very difficult to work on positive, productive change to make society healthier

[struggle4progress]

10. I'd encourage your neighbor to contact the FBI about this

[sasha031]

15. That's a great idea

[maddezmom]

17. LOL

great idea.

[freshwest]

30. Hehehe! You are soo bad!

[moondust]

11. Yes! That's how Fast and Furious works!

[annabanana]

12. Your neighbor is an idiot. . . n/t

[elleng]

13. Sounds like 'Fast and Furious' !!!

[arcane1]

14. There are a few InfoWArs links on that topic circulating Facebook too

The "fear of the gun-grab" fetishists never let pass an opportunity to look like idiots.

[SoutherDem]

18. I was wondering how long it would take to blame Obama

and the claim that this is was planned event by the lefties to take away guns. As the pro-gun DUers have repeatedly stated over the last 36 hours guns are not going anywhere, if anything there will be a boost in gun purchases over the next few weeks. President Obama will not call for any changes in the gun control laws and Romney won't either.

[Turbineguy]

19. He needs a little music to go with that!

[RedStateLiberal]

20. One moment while I prepare to digest that information...

There, that's MUCH better.

You were saying?

[lunatica]

22. This has been a talking point for the NRA

and it's where it started. Your neighbor didn't dream this up by herself. They speak to groups all the time. They say this when they speak to those groups.

Scary.

[wandy]

23. This is all over RW Waco blogs and forums today....

It's Obama's plan to take away you're guns.
On some conservatives forum they buy into it lock, stock and barrel.
It's Obama's fault.
Then and again, isn't every thing Obama's fault.
I for one am still ticked off at Obama for forgetting to remind Noah to put the unicorns on the ark.

[jillan]

24. My response would have been - Really? Because I heard it was a teabagger who

listened to Rush Limpo & believed him when he said that the character in the movie named Bane was done on purpose to hurt Mitt Romney.

That would leave them scratching their balls long enough for you to get out of there

[BumRushDaShow]

25. At least the President has exposed all the wackadoodles

wandering the streets today. People who you thought were nice and friendly and "normal".

Now we know the real from the posers.

[Warpy]

26. But did you walk away twirling your index finger next to your temple?

Suffering these fools in silence is unacceptable. A simple "That's ridiculous!" and changing the subject would have sufficed.

Of course, I'm an old broad who no longer cares what other people think about me. However, I speak up.

[FarPoint]

27. Your neighbor sounds clinically dangerous.

I would not engage socially ever again with such a neighbor.

[lunasun]

38. I was just thinking - he must have guns if he is so concerned and he is crazy

sort of the real combo that caused the tragedy..............

[southernyankeebelle]

28. OMG what an idiot. Wait where is Limpy in that discussion? Maybe he caused it. Silly people

[Kalidurga]

31. You can't reason with people like that.

So when I encounter people like that I just talk to them in deliberate gibberish. I might have said something like this " Potato, patato, bunny." Next encounter might be. "Did you hear there are millions of people that don't exist in this country." or "Dang, I forgot to marshmallow, the lawn." Eventually the neighbor will stop talking to you. Unless, they understand what you are saying. In that case just back away slowly and don't make any sudden movements.

[spanone]

32. america is no place for logic

[CJCRANE]

34. I just had an idea...

You know how during the Bush Era there were "Free Speech Zones"?

Well...we could set up "Logic-Free Zones" where people could go to spout total nonsense amongst likeminded individuals.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

35. Variation

on the "Fast and Furious" conspiracy?

[left is right]

36. why is it we can’t blame guns but we can blame Obama?

[baldguy]

37. That's what RWers do: Ignore the real problem, and blame everything else but.

This works especially well when the problem generates lots of money for them - can't have it go away, they'd lose business.

[Tsiyu]

39. This is the Rightwing meme this weekend

The Aurora shooting is a false flag operation orchestrated by Obama himself so that the UN Small Arms TReaty can more easily be adopted by the US and then oh noes all our guns will be confiscated.

The shooting was all staged, nobody died, the witnesses are all actors.

The motherfuckers who believe this shit took absolutely zero seconds to sympathize with the victims. You see, there were no victims. ( Or else they believe MKUltra made this guy do this ) . They've been waiting for the next lunatic to go off so they could make these insane claims.

They are very sick people. Their hatred knows no bounds, but is far exceeded by their stupidity

[jmowreader]

40. Your neighbor probably blames everything else on Obama too

[Ratty]

42. Conservapedia

Yeah, I go there for my occasional dose of crazy. The nutcase had this to say on the homepage:

The Christian Post reported that the mass murderer James Holmes was heavily involved in his local Presbyterian church.

In 2012, the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (USA) passed a resolution, by a lopsided vote of 353-150, reaffirming its support of evolution. In October of 2011, the Presbyterian Church USA ordained its first homosexual "minister".

Did James Holmes attend a evolution and homosexuality promoting/condoning liberal "church" or a Bible Presbyterian church which are fewer in number? Darwinism has a bloodstained legacy and has been linked to a decline in morality.

People on web sites trying to score points by assigning the blame on various political ideologies. Crazy, right?

[nadinbrzezinski]

43. Oh that started floating in the morning

Weveven had one come here.

[Kees]

44. I would say it was just lunacy if...

I didn't live with that sort of mentality daily.

I am a liberal and I make no bones about it. I fell in love with a self proclaimed libertarian two and a half years ago. The road between has has been fraught with ideological differences which will probably not withstand the long term commitment we were both seeking.

She is an Alex Jones, Glenn Beck, Fox News Loving supporter that laps up whatever falsehood or mis-truth that is spoken or reported. And she absolutely loathes President Obama. She blames all of of our society's ills at this man's feet, which is so ridiculous that I can't (although I've tried!) make her see how non-sensical it is.

Of course, she is a gun owner and proudly so. She doesn't want any government interference in regulating the control of them...which we have had numerous 'conversations' about.

She would rather hijack her own best self interests along with the rest of us that live here than vote for a President and it turn, a more even (or hopefully left leaning) Supreme Court..by the very fear that dictates her life.

Seems a bit deep for a first post...but the week has kind of dictated more somber personal reflection due to the serious nature of what is so wrong in this country right now.....

[NRaleighLiberal]

45. welcome to DU - thanks for this.

[Kees]

48. Thanks NRaleighLiberal

Hi There NRaleighLiberal - Thanks for the welcome.

It's great to finally dip my toe in the DU pool. Been reading posts for years and decided it would be better to share my thoughts and views with a group of like minded people. I really think my fiancee thought she could 'turn' me to her ideological ways. She may as well asked me to cut off my left arm and right leg!

[hughee99]

46. What an idiot, everyone know's whose fault it is.

It's Rush Limbaugh's fault.

47. Incidents like this always bring out a lot of independent experts

On many subjects.
