Apparently Peter King decided to match Bob Brady's stupidity and intends to propose a bill that will make it illegal to carry a gun within 1000 feet of a government official. Because Loughner wouldn't have shot Giffords if there had been a law against it!

Meanwhile former Congressman Paul Kanjorski takes a break from his busy schedule of calling for Governor Rick Scott to be put against the wall and shot to remind us all that creating an atmosphere of civility is important, or something.

I want to look a bit again at what can be quantified as hatred. and individuals who are of this ilk, who end up having very much hateful thoughts, and likely not to be considered civil.  YES, the internet gives you the ability to be one, and one can say that, "Well, the person isn't like that in real life."  Well, if you give someone something to hide behind, theor true thoughts come out.  Consider one, Rich Becker, who ran into my story about my being laid off, and suggested unemployed should kill themselves, in order to lower his taxes.  He has some other ditties.  Anyhow, here you go, a sampling of his "finest":

So, there you go.  Anyone want to speak up here?  Yes, one has every right to say whatever you want.  But, if people shun this Rich Becker (oh and forbid that an employer find out and he get fired and can't find work, because he would have to off himself to lower taxes) well I say they have the right to do so.

badge, I think you call people on what they say POST the event.  As you can see prior, there was language usage like that which was much more common.  Even if the concept is a firing squad, in the name of justice, one has to question its usage today.  Key is, from this point forth what to do.

I also think the law against carrying a weapon X feet from an official is absurd, as a blanket one.  I do believe that political people speaking do have every right to not allow anyone in the speaking area who has a weapon though, even if the individual has a permit for it also.

It's interesting to note that Sheriff Dupnik was actually one of the first to start pushing "the Tea Party did it" meme, and it's also interesting that he acknowledged that Loughner has a history of making death threats. I hope the media can shut the fuck up about Sarah Palin long enough to see if the sheriff's department dropped the ball on Loughner, either out of sheer incompetence or perhaps because they looked the other way as a favor to Loughner's mother (who works for Pima County Park and Recreation services) and father (who works for the local Child Protective Service). If it's the latter, it would certainly explain why the sheriff was trying to deflect and politicize the issue, aside from his being a rabid partisan.

Is there somewhere you read these connections or are you just quick with stuff, if the latter you have a way better political memory then me.

Well yeah.  That's exactly how free speech is supposed to work.

People say something stupid, and then they pay the price due to the freedom of other people to talk about who they want and employ who they want.

It's the same reason we get the corporations we deserve.   When we end up with shitty companies that use child labor and bend polution rules, it's because we care more about their cheap products then we do the enviroment.  When we care more about how companies act responsibly we end up with companies like Starbucks and Ben and Jerry's.  Though I believe Ben and Jerry's has taken a backslide the last decade or so due to people thinking their icecream is too expensive.
