On Sunday, even after the FBI hinted the presence of a link to radical Islam, the panel on ABC’s This Week blamed the terrorist attack at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida on heated election rhetoric and guns in America. “I think we all ought to pause with what happened in Orlando today,” stated ABC’s Matt Dowd when asked if third party candidates could gain supporters, “And if we understand that all of the hateful thoughts become hateful words become hateful actions.”

Dowd continued, “And now, maybe in the course of this, after what happened, the temperatures will go down and we, sort of, get back to a place where we can understand the common good.”

Republican strategist Kellyanne Conway then argued that America is in need of strong leadership. “But strong leadership, Kelly, is not about fear mongering and exploiting racial anxieties, and bigotry,” snapped The Nation editor Katrina Vanden Heuvel.

Heuvel had her own narrative to spin the deaths of the innocent for:

I think the, you know, grief and anger today, but we can't lose sight of senseless gun violence and the gun epidemic in this country....

Matt Dowd is suffering from a severe case of “Dowd Syndrome” characterized by sheer stupidity and speaking like a fool.

There is no cure for this condition, found mainly among liberal/leftist media people. It can be contagious so Do Not Approach a person with Dowd’s Syndrome.

“I was at a big family picnic today and — sure enough — several Kool-Aid drinking Hillary-loving family members blamed this “mass shooting” on easy access to weapons “only the military should have access to”, and said this event was the same as the Newtown shootings. Of course Islam had nothing to do with it.
One atheist uber-lib family member compared ISIS ideology to Christianity... “ISIS got their crazy ideology from The Book of Revelations, you know”.

I’m not making this up... ;-D”

Wow, how did you keep your composure?

I’m afraid the Irish and Russian in me would have come out, big time.

It would be my last family picnic:)

Liberal maggots are the biggest danger to America and a disgrace to the nation.

And those that hear this crap and agree are on the wane......many are finally recognizing that gun-free zones are easy pickings for the bad guys and that armed good guys can save lives - possibly of those who used to believe banning guns was a good thing.
