The Left once again exploiting tragedy. I guess we need the politically correct censorship that exits on our college campuses.

Which presidential candidate is throwing out the most reckless rhetoric?

ANDERSON COOPER: Which enemy that you made during your political career are you most proud of?

CLINTON: Well, in addition to the NRA, the health insurance companies, the drug companies, the Iranians; probably the Republicans.

Erica Smith’s words have microagressed me. She needs to take a journalism class and get a license if she wants to continue to publish. The first amendment doesn’t apply to her.

I want reparations and a pony.

Trump and Cruz should now tie everything Black Lives Matter says or does around the necks of these people.

Whomever this guy was, and why he did it, was a one-off. Muslim terrorists and BLM will be bringing it all the way until Nov.

She had a dinner with a dying supposed-conservative who politely discussed his views with her, and this tells her that all conservatives have to treat her or her ilk the same way. Do not challenge her views, do not hurl epithets and claims against her or her ilk like they do to conservatives every minute of every day.

The man likely had some reason to not bother with trying to make her see the light or not convert her. Also, if he really was dying maybe he was more interested in taking care of what he needed to with his maker.

In the end, because she had what she thinks was a civil conversation does not force us as conservatives to stifle our right to speak out against genocide of the unborn, nor does it give her license to enforce that ban.

You mean inflammatory words like “the world is committing suicide” from the Vatican Comrade?

Ramblings about "body parts" in Planned Parenthood shooting is proof...

Ah, so the author's entire premise is based on unconfirmed information. That comment was originally attributed to "anonymous sources" and since has been reported as a fact or attributed to other "news" sources as something like "many news agencies are reporting the shooter said..." Hey, I've got "anonymous sources" that swear they saw Jim Morrison buying a slurpee at a local 7-11...

So we have no real "proof" of anything. Nor do we have context. Sure, he may have said it, he may have said he saw Elvis and shot Bigfoot too. The guy is a whack job. Seriously though, if he said it, it may have been a passing comment as he was led out through the PP building referring to how the building was trashed. Numerous bullet holes and the lobby / lower level destroyed when the police drove an armored vehicle into the building to shield victims and evacuate them. So he had been taking cover in some other part of the building (police had access to internal security cameras) - that's how they knew they could make the evac. So I could very well understand him being led out through the devastation in the lobby area, and remarking off the cuff regarding the damage having put the clinic out of business.

Contact information for this author on the article.

Dear Ms Smith

Are you aware the police office who died defending the Colorado Abortion Clinic was a pro lifer? You are aware that not 1 planned parent hood employee was killed?

You are a complete scumbag for trying to politicize this tragedy. You should resign today. You have demonstrated you are complete unfit due to your extreme political bigotry to be published by ANY “news” organization. That the Sac Bee employs you demonstrates their complete lack of credibility as “Journalists”.

Still silence from the Left on how their hate rhetoric against Christians and Chik-fil-A made some nutjob try to commit mass murder at the Family Research Council.

Ponies bite; ask for a horse instead.

With all the refumuzzies soon to be pouring in, “microjihad” will replace microaggression as a daily experience for each of us.

Keep your inflammatory words to yourself

Does that admonition also apply to "moderates" and liberals? For example:

Suppress... Kasich doesn’t know what suppress means.

Suppress doesn’t mean saying nasty things about you on Fox News. Suppress means coming after you with guns and ultimatum.

And the Muslims jab is just a lie even though that might be a very good idea. It was about this wave of weird Syrian refugees.

Like “h8er” or “hater” or “homophobic” or “racist”?

The left has done a good job of taking over the language and demonizing any one that stands in their way.

The reason we have a neutral 1st amendment so it protects all offensive speech regardless of who is in power.

The left is being really short sighted going down this road to legally ban speech they do not like. Sooner or later the power will shift and all these rules, regulations and laws are going to be turned back on them.

Groups being persecuted today will have long memories and pay back will be a bitch.

All of my life I have been told by the powers that be that I have no right not to be offended and so had to silently stand by as my beliefs were mocked and ridiculed.

It saddens me that all those young people who mindlessly buy into what they are being taught. It is like food animals helping to build the slaughter house not understanding they will cast aside once their usefulness is done and led into that self same slaughter house. Perhaps they will get comfort that they were the last and not the first.
