Arizona Shootings Not a Surprise

it was bound to happen. and with the 'don't retreat RELOAD' anthem and use second amendment rights of the likes of sarah palin and sharron angle of nevada it may happen again. these are dangerous women in dangerous times. they need to be prosecuted as well as the assassin. they are assassins too. the rhetoric of the right, far right, is deliberate. glenn beck should be prosecuted too. his nightly hate speech is continual fuel to the fire of hate. this all began as a response to a black man in a white house. for the record i'm a white man. sure the economy is the excuse. an economy handed to barack obama by a white man named bush. and sure the economy sucks. but not as much as the racism of the far right. 

it's the right that constantly and consistently demands 'softer' gun ownership laws. sure let's make them 'softer' and what happened in arizona yesterday will continue to happen. six americans were killed yesterday including a child. a child for god sakes. america the beautiful. not today i think.

last night keith olbermann addressed the madness in a special saturday 'countdown'. perhaps we should listen to him this time. the sad part is that those who hear him will say...'oh he doesn't mean me. hello in there he does mean you...and me.


all said and done please keep the victims, the friends and family of the victims in your hearts and good thoughts today. a child for god sakes!
