First Congressional Killing Since Jonestown

Only two congressmen have been murdered on-the-job while serving in
congress.
The first one was killed by anti-government Evangelical Christians prior to
the Jonestown massacre.

In that case, the Evangelicals wanted to create a Christian paradise in the
jungles of South America.
They went THAT far away because they believed their leaders who told them
that the United States government was out to get them.
When family members expressed concern, their congressman flew down to Guyana
to interview the members.
During the interviews, several members of the church told him they were
being held captive and begged him to take them with him.

As he was preparing to board his flight, Evangelicals with guns showed up
and murdered him, a member of the "lamestream" media and, of course, most of
the people who were being rescued.

Back at the church, the preacher told his congregation that they had to all
kill themselves.
Most did, the rest were murdered by church officials.

The second congressman was killed yesterday by Republicans in another
mass-murder shooting spree.

All current indications are that the perp is a seriously mentally ill

Jim Jones was a member of the Communist Party USA, and Jonestown was to
be his "Socialist Eden".

No, his intent was a socialist paradise, a collective. Kind of like a
far-left hippie commune.

He was disgusted with the McCarthy hearings, and the marginalization of
communists in the US.

Basically, moron, you'd describe "God Damn America" Rev Wright as a
hard-core republican.

And to think they allow you near schoolchildren.

I've read the New Testament ... Does that make me a Christian?

What makes him a libertarian leaning madman are his opinions that the
government is bad, and that only gold or silver (not government backed
currency) is viable. All that is missing is the black helicopters.

Four years in a young man's life, especially an unstable one, is a long
time. Besides, the author of those comments has yet to display that they
know the difference between left and right. Apparently some folks on

It would if you did something bad.

A very popular, patriotic position, during the Bush years.

What's missing is any reference by him to any conservative politician or
public figure. No books by Beck, Bush, Palin... no mention of them.

What isn't missing is the rapid assurances from the left that they've
found the real perpetrator, and it's Sarah Palin. Again.

Like our President, they are perfectly wiling to present conjecture as
fact, for political gain and fundraising.

You have to be bad to be a Christian? Really?

No, but if you did something bad and confessed you had read the entire
New Testament, you'd be first and foremost, a devout Christian in the
news reports. Likely a Palinite.

That's not what the left said at the time.

Ah, so you're hoping against hope that somewhere there's some sort of
actual connection between this nut and Palin, or Beck, or some other
leftist boogeyboo. The people Napolatino warned you about.

It's not looking good so far, have you got a backup hope? Maybe they'll
find a newspaper with an ad for Fox news or something equally damning in
his room.

Oh, now we're bringing in another person with absolutely no known
connection. It's getting even deeper. I wonder if he was a Beatles fan?

You do realize the President has, for instance, accused the Cambridge
Police without any factual basis, and accused the chamber of commerce
based on the baseless claim of a blogger, aren't you?

These are just two examples which directly support my contention, and
the response is to call me a liar. Where I come from, we'd say you done
run yourself up a stump, how's the view?

In the context of The Armies of pale Idahoans marching to terrorize
hapless tanned liberals, I'd say the threat is statistically not a
concern. Of course, the body count has been kept so low through the
valiant efforts of the DoJ, who identified the threat early on.

There is on the net the record of the Bush years, in words and images.
That is very hard to overlook when one is lectured on political civility
by a leftist.

But, given that a scant percentage of this country self-identify as
idiots, with the rest being conservative or right-leaning, one expects
to find wild-eyed crazy people, this is America, we encourage that
stuff. We pay people to entertain.

Likely not you though.

I wouldn't be surprised if this goes straight to the top - Karl Rove -
in easily three degrees of separation. Bush will protected, as usual,
but history will Judge him, and what he drove Rush Limbaugh to tell
Palin what, and who, to do.


The only real question remaining is how much did the US Chamber of

That's what history says. But you're apparently going to use his own
words to prove he was not as he, and history, claim. This should be
interesting.

Based of course on the absentee ballots from that mosquito-infested
holdout of utopian religious leftists, no doubt you counted them.

Or maybe you didn't notice that the major difference between Jim Jones
and your average Oak Cliff church was the extreme leftism? Hello?

Giffords was "targeted" by the democrat left, graphically and verbally

obscure electoral graphics, it was the LEFT. Check your facts.

This is not the man the left has been waiting for, he's not one of the
massing right-wing militia tewwowists, he's a crazy person.

And within hours, other crazy people, like the editorial board of
America's premier newspaper, the Paramus Weekly Shopper, projected this

It causes me to reconsider Hinckley, Moore, Chapman and others who were
