Enough with the Liberal Bogey-man. Stop blaming the left for stuff the right does, as well. Stop acting like if this had been a GOP representative, we wouldn't be hearing a bizarro version of what is going on now.
A terrible attack was made, people died, others were hurt, and all anyone on either side can do is get with the spinning. It isn't us, it isn't you, its everyone, so get over your illusory high ground and take some responsibility for the state of the country. Maybe think about the fact that it is significantly easier to get a gun than mental health care in America today. Maybe think about the vitriolic language used by both sides is literally designed to get people whipped into a frenzy, and some people were always going to take that too far.
So long as the easiest route to beating an opponent (dehumanizing them) is taken, we are open to stuff like this happening. This is the America all of us have created, and that all of us are responsible for.
