As do I. Your point?

I was recalling a conversation from years ago when my sister was apublic defender. She said it was strange that we know serial killers by the first and last names in most cases and lone gunmen by first middle and last.

Charles Manson
David berkowitz
Jeff Dahlmer

John Wilkes booth
Lee harvey oswald
Jared Lee Loughner

I just thought it was interesting. Sorry if my thinking isn't very clear today. Little hungover and shocked by it all.

I understand how you feel. Seeing liberals put crosshairs over their political opponents faces was probably the last thing you wanted to see while your are busy flogging conservatives.

Mine is to differentiate me from my father, the parents not wanting a Junior running around.
And of course it keeps all the John Sue Booths quiet, and the Lee Sally Oswalds.

You're right, if a democrat does it, that makes it ok. No reason to condemn violence as long as everyone's doing it.

Once again, death threats against the president are up 400% over the rate when Bush was in office.

But everything's all the same.

From the shooter's youtube page, in case you missed it:

"had favorite books: Animal Farm, Brave New World, The Wizard Of OZ, Aesop Fables, The Odyssey, Alice Adventures Into Wonderland, Fahrenheit 451, Peter Pan, To Kill A Mockingbird, We The Living, Phantom Toll Booth, One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, Pulp,Through The Looking Glass, The Communist Manifesto, Siddhartha, The Old Man And The Sea, Gulliver's Travels, Mein Kampf, The Republic, and Meno."

Bolding mine. Can we now conclude that this guy was completely incoherent?

Interesting that you refer to the Ft. Hood shooter as an Islamic terrorist.

Because he was.

Evidence discovered after the attack has confirmed this. Nidal Hassan was found to have close ties to known Al-Qeada operative Anwar Al-alawki. Who in turned had ties to the 9/11 hijackers and is now in Yemen and has been targeted by US forces and Agencies under orders from president Obama.

No, not really. I don't see the logic here.

He was a theistic terrorist.

Update:

For those interested in Rep Giffords condition, I just seen a statement released by the hospital - Sorry if it's already been reported, I didn't want to wade through 10 pages.

According to her surgeon, the bullet did not penetrate both hemispheres, nor did it reach the center of her brain. There was some brain loss, but she has been able to communicate simple instructions with her doctors. They are "cautiously optimistic."

When I find the video on line I'll put it up.

yes, you missed it completely.

Let me explain it for you.

It's telling that 14 months after the Ft. Hood terrorist attack, that many people still can't bring themselves to call it a terrorist attack a' la 9/11. Yet Sarah Palin is somehow stuck like glue to Loughner without any reasonable link found between the two.
