So this shooting wasn't ideologically motivated at all? One can’t simply draw a straight line from a political demagoguery to seemingly random acts of violence, just as how the member of this site hate the stupid shit Jack Thompson spews, but there is a level of culpability when political/ideological discourse strays from rational discussion and debate to calls for violence and incivility. Evidently, we as a nation feel so, since we are arresting or seeking the arrest of Islamic leaders who promote such dialogue. As for the Ft. Hood shooter, he far and away resembles the Tea Party rather than Moveon.org, imho.

I have to wonder how exactly your drawing such a comparison is not an example of incivility you supposedly deplore. Are you inured to the ridiculousness of it because Kos runs around screaming, "American Taliban! American Taliban!"?
It's funny how the guy who tried to shoot up the Florida school board leaves an extensive list of links to left wing sites at the bottom of his suicide note, and very little was made of it in the media. But when a Communist Manifesto-loving Anti-Flag fan shoots a bunch of people, it's CLEARLY Sarah Palin's fault.
