Mr. Fuller, let me say that I am truly sorry you were wounded in this tragedy. It must be especially troublesome to not only be wounded, but suffer wounds that are so notoriously painful and debilitating.
However, that does not mitigate or excuse the evil...yes, Mr. Fuller, I said it and chose the word carefully...evil libel you are peddling.
We know Jared Loughner was not a political activist or a follower or listener or viewer of Palin, Beck, et al. For you to claim that this raving nutburger was inspired by them when we know without doubt this was not the case is as ludicrous and evil as me it would be for me to say that Loughner never did anything to you and that you actually shot yourself in a scheme to collect insurance money.
So, to reiterate, we have a word for people who accuse other people of complicity in the death of a child when they did absolutely nothing to put that child in danger. We call those people “evil.” And that means that you, sir, are either evil or very, very stupid.
You could be talking about the bravery and skill of those who rescued you from an otherwise certain death. You could be talking about the beauty of Christina Taylor Green’s life and compassion for others. You could be using your higher profile to put the focus on getting individuals like Loughner the treatment they need before they act to kill or (in so many cases that never make national news) kill themselves.
Instead, you choose to hold up Christina Green’s corpse to make a partisan point bizarrely removed from reality. In “honor” of a girl who hoped to spend her life in public service, you have tried to shut up ordinary Americans concerned about the course of their country and (with the exception of Beck) public officials willing to make a life serving the people. Truly, you are a great moral light of our age, doing your best to foster greater civility and discourse.
So, best wishes to you for speedy healing of that knee and back. As soon as you’re up and moving around, go jump in a lake.
Sincerely,
Mr. Silverback
P.S. I find it interesting that you went to a pro-choice website to spout your lying and/or stupidity. One million children will die in abortion clinics this year but the only dead child you’re concerned about is the one whose grave you’re peeing on as you spout your McCartyite trash.
Excellent post.
