the shooting are left wing lunatics, except we don't blame them. we blame the mental health system, we blame the individual. >> well, maybe we should blame the individual. when you look at the tragic roster, columbine, virginia tech, tucson, aurora, newtown, were these shooters trying to make a political statement or motivated by revenge or driven by zits schizophrenia? when jared loughner shot gabby giffords, someone tried to blame sarah palin for having put cross hair owes a map of gifford's district. i wrote that day that this was a sickening ritual of guilty by association. this isn't about sarah palin's map. it's about a nut who doesn't value human life. these tragedies are awful enough without the partisan point scoring.
