You should know by now you are not allowed to say anything negative about democrats.

I honestly think American Talk Radio on both sides of the aisle is just terrible. Always hear about the conservative crazies, and wouldn't dream to tune in. But after a recent car purchase, I received 3 or something months free Sirius XM, and tuned into Sirius "Progress" or something like that, the liberal equivalent. It was awful. No intelligent discussion or analysis, just underhanded stabs, shallow commentary, ranting, etc. I.e., although I would probably agree with respect to at least some of the issues, I thought they were no better than Rush Limbaugh. Pitiful.

Trickier than it looks for the right wing. The victims aren't of their ilk. Many may have been using the wrong public bathroom.

But I can see the arguments now - "if only everyone there had a gun to defend themselves with" (probably a lot more than 50 would have been killed as it would have become a shoot-em-up ...).


And they are calling this the biggest (something) ever ... but what about Timothy McVeigh / Oklahoma ....


ETA: just heard on TV that he was armed with 'An Assault Rifle" ... I'm sure that will stir up some gun-nut commentary ...

More interesting is how Orlando will come into play.

Very true..given that many right wing evangelicals will likely see it as Gods punishment of gays. Kind of just like ISIS thinks.

Someone just posted a link on FB about Orlando and all the comments I saw were along the lines of 'Well that's good, they were gays' 'Should get all gays in clubs and shoot them all'. Humans are ****ed up.

Has anyone blamed the victims because they were gay? It's only a matter of time before they do.

But - I bet if you look into audience stats, you'll find the right-wing talk-radio shows are the ones with the listeners; similar to broadcast media (that is, Faux Noise).
