A guy walks into the Arkansas Democratic Party office and shoots the party chairman<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This is a ghastly crime; the shooter was killed by police in a shootout later in the day, which is probably what should have happened.<\/p>\n

This blog condemns all shooting at people that isn’t in legal self-defense.<\/p>\n

Of course, when something like this happens, you can count on the idiot fringe (which is the lower 80%) of the Twin Cities’ leftysphere to try to spin it.<\/p>\n

From the Mississippifarian – yet another anonymous, unaccountable Twin Cities leftyblog obviously written by a deranged nutcase – we get this explanation<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Let me make a wild and irresponsible guess: this asshole is a dittohead. Nothing else about him will be noteworthy other than the fact that he\u2019s obviously some kind of loser who takes Rush seriously when Rush jokes about killing liberals.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Oh, obviously<\/em>!<\/p>\n

Except, y’know, it’s pretty likely not true:<\/p>\n

Police said they don’t know the motive for the 51-year-old suspect, whose name has not been released. However, they said moments after the shooting, he pointed a handgun at the building manager at the nearby the Arkansas Baptist headquarters. He told the manager “I lost my job,” said Dan Jordan, a Baptist convention official.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I don’t believe Rush Limbaugh has ever joked about killing Baptists, now, has he?<\/p>\n

Oh, but since we’re talking about “climates of hate” caused by other people exercising their First Amendment rights, “he” might wanna have a word with some of the genuinely hateful people among <\/a>or descending upon<\/a> us. Presuming “Mississippifarian” isn’t more interested in painting those peoples’ toenails.<\/p>\n

Twin Cities’ leftysphere: Yeah, ya got another winner. Keep up the great work.<\/p>\n

And Mississippifarian, whoever you are? Seek help.<\/p>\n
