Having said that, it is important to keep focused here. The seriousness of this tragedy has nothing to do with a conservative federal judge being shot and killed, but that a Democrat politician was shot. If the judge had been the target and the congresswoman had not been shot, we wouldn't have had an appearance and statement by Obama for days (unless he wanted to give a shout-out to someone).
Your recollections are correct. Though I posted elsewhere the Judge’s involvement with a very curious case just concluded where he was likely to rule against the administration. It appears he was the victim of bad luck.
“If the judge had been the target and the congresswoman had not been shot, we wouldn’t have had an appearance and statement by Obama for days”
Much like the POS did after the recruiting center, and Ft. Hood shootings?
Yes, she was shot, but the picture forming of the shooter suggests more of a strike against gov't and she happened to be the local face of that gov't.
That a congress WOMAN was shot, and a Democrat, does seem to appeal to the media. I think I mentioned yesterday in another reply, it fits with their narrative about "angry rightwing, gun lovers and hate radio." The idea is so part of their world view, they don't even realize when it fails to fit the facts.
When is Obama gonna speak up to tell us that the MSM “acted stupidly?”
“The seriousness of this tragedy has nothing to do with a conservative federal judge being shot and killed, but that a Democrat politician was shot.”
I don’t think that is correct either. That it was a democrat is irrelevant to the “seriousness” of this incident. Personnally, I don’t believe conventional “politics” had ANYTHING to do with this. The killer is an extreme nut case that doesn’t belong to any political party. He had some nutty “grudge” that he took out on an available target. If the congresswoman had of been Republican, he probably would have shot her as well. There is NO rational agenda working here. This person is just nuts.
