His Facebook page is now history.

I'm a little surprised it stayed up as long as it did.

It is now property of the FBI. And every person friended has their Facebook page as part of an FBI investigation. And so on until it finally narrows down to MAGA, our Bernie supporter.

Liberals on Twitter offer touching messages of support:

Progressive Media Personalities Agree: Those Republicans Deserved To Get Shot

A shooter targeted Republican lawmakers playing baseball on Wednesday, and several progressive media personalities declared the Republicans deserved it.

I absolutely do not agree with the shooter today, guns and violence are not the answer.

I'm wondering today if Senator Paul feels differently?

For sure red, those damn revolutionaries.  Those poor brits never knew what was coming.  Too bad they couldn't have banned guns.

I think the larger point is, one man's tyranny is another man's "patriotism". Guys like Rand were standing side by side with casts of characters like the Bundys. I think it's a fair point to ask if he's concerned that statements like his further inflame the partisan tension.

Even with a dictator in waiting occupying the White House we question the wisdom of the 2nd amendment. It's a bold strategy certainly.

You become more and more unhinged with each post.

Coming from you that means...absolutely nothing.

Of course.  I think the wording was poor.  Honestly I wish no politician used twitter.

The notion that today the 2nd amendment protects this country from tyranny is completely outrageous.

Let's not kid ourselves here.  There is no small number of people on the conservative side of the spectrum that are happily ideologically shoulder to shoulder with the Bundys and their madness.  And it's not just the Bundys.  There's plenty of others as well.

It's a terrible thing that happened today.  It was politically motivated.  I disagree with the idea that it was just a crazy person.  Certainly he was crazy but there's more to it than that. Just as is the case with violent radical islamists.  I'm fine with labeling it terrorism.  The current tone of political discourse in this country is extremely unfortunate and regrettable.  But partisan radicalization is more dangerous among the conservatives and has been.  That's my opinion and I'll stick to it.  The FBI has viewed radicals right wing nationalists as a greater threat to this country then any other for many years now. 

Rand Paul's twitter post was shameful then and it's shameful now.  Today the absurdity of it is particularly highlighted.  The republicans have been stoking this crazed "the republic is besieged" sentiment for almost 2 decades.  Look, that rhetoric goes both ways.  The liberals can use that stupid logic as well and today one did.  The spirit of the discourse cannot be back tracked.  

The idea that the 2nd amendment is the people's shield against tyranny is bullshit that has to be dropped.

He's an employee of the Post ? 

If he's suggesting that he hopes the congressman dies, then he deserves to lose his job for making his stupid wishes public.  It appears to me that that is exactly what he's suggesting.   

Not a great dude apparently.
