Re: Bombing in Boston
I just dislike the whole "right wingers v. left wingers: who's killed more" argument. It feels too much like pointing fingers at one "side" or the other, as though the psychos have anything to do with their mainstream counterparts. It's all done for political one-upsmanship, and it's a waste of time. Terrorism is terrorism.
And he's right, anyway. Or at least half right. He specifically said that the "Tea Party" never killed anyone. He was wrong in propagating this silly notion that the government can't fight terrorism and watch right wing extremist at the same time (and in the asserting that the Tea Party is who they were watching to begin with), but he was right that the Tea Party movement itself hasn't killed anyone. You said right wing extremists, not him.
Christian groups, on the other hand...that's a horse of a different color. But in any case, I don't see any value in finger pointing.
