Tea party revolution starting, Giffords shot dead.

(repost from other thread)
You know what's funny? We've been hearing about all this Sudan bullshit. It's on Obama's radar, Obama is concerned about it, CNN is concerned about it, Cspan is concerned about it, and they think you should be too. I could really figure out why this one of 500 political upheaval that will happen this year in Africa should be of any significance to me, and why it is to them... But, something else struck me...
Everyone thinks the S. Sudanese referendum on whether or not to secede from the oppressive north over what are basically just ideological clashes is very important. NPR is intent on telling me about the plight of the S. Sudanese and the ridicule and mistreatment the get at the hands of the Northerners, and how monumental this is, and how the O-bomb supports it, and how I should too.
Then I started wondering, these same people shut down any talk of secession here as being 'treasonous', and only talk about it with visceral contempt. Why would they support such measures in Sudan, but hatefully discourage any of that sentiment(for many of the same reasons) here?

Quote from Lucrum:
It doesn't have to. Just because Lincoln squandered over 618,000 US lives to force the confederacy back into the Union doesn't necesarily mean Obama has to do the same thing.

Name calling and hate,I wouldn't expect anything else from the right.My guess is its now time for you guys to reload
YOU ARE THE HATER. As soon as this hateful thread was started, almost in a manic state of mind, you posted false information trying to link this tragic event to people with different political views than your own.
The shooter asked specifically for Giffords, not judge John Roll, who happened to be there visiting his friend Giffords. There is no reason to believe the shooter was specifically after any of the other victims.Quote from bugscoe:
Seems the left want to call a guy who KILLED a Bush appointed judge a Bush loving righty based on this...Congrats Range Rover.

Yes, and that makes him the right-wing lunatic that all your favorites here and in the media are trying to lie their way through.
Now, please show me any conservative who is on record as having the Communist Manifesto and Mein Kampf as book favorites and you may be on to something.
The guy was a nut job. Period. But ya know, you can't ever let a good crisis go to waste!
Considering there are 320 million people in America and millions of guns and unlimited freedom of movement we are a very safe country. I'm surprised we don't have more nuts going off like this.
And for all the talk of hate between the right and left in real life we all get along together, have a beer without arguing, do business with each other, hell we get along pretty good except on the Internet.

I agree. I have tremendous faith in the reasonableness of the ordinary American.
