I am just about to delete my FaceBook account. I am getting sick of the alarmingly large fraction of my 'friends' who are mindlessly linking this AZ shooting to the Congresswoman's opposition campaign in the last election, which is being characterized as a 'hate' campaign.

Except...

- the 'kid' was a 22-year old who whas rejected by the Army when he tried to enlist (so NOT an 'Afghan War Vet')

- who was a Lefty from way back as far as high school (as attested to by former classmates on Twitter just yesterday, so NOT a Right Winger)

- who had been arrested twice, once at least for drugs (so NOT 'just a kid who was playing X-Box and then decided to go shoot somebody)

- whose favorite books are The Communist Manifesto and Mein Kampf and was an admirer of Hitler (so NOT 'clinging to God and guns' -- and did anybody mention that the Congresswoman was Jewish?)

- who made incomprehensible YouTube videos about Gov't. mind control and references to Gitmo (so NOT a stable mind at all)

The AP article published on Yahoo! is but one fever swamp source for all of this for these deep thinkers. I think the worst implication of these dipwads is that the opposition campaign was inciteful in its own right because the guy was -- gasp! -- a former Marine! Because former Marines just like to shoot up a supermarket for fun, right?

It's either call these 'friends' on this despicable smear, or just cut contact with them. Easier to do the latter...;-))
