Both of them were insane? I assume you can prove that.

I'll wait.

They draped the flag of a movement that encourages domestic terrorism over the bodies of the police officers they just murdered after declaring that they were starting the revolution.

You don't have to assume anything. They told us why they did it.

Since Tom Joad is on the road to Alabammy. Here's one for the Bunkerville crowd. Be careful what you wish for.

No, it was your statement that they were prone to violence. I assume you have some basis for making that statement. I also note that you did not bring forward the evidence that the individuals were psychologically damaged - or was that sheer speculation as whell.

Well, you do know that only the mentally ill use guns to kill people, right?

So, the potential for a bunch of angry, gun-toting self-proclaimed revolutionaries to start shooting is an absurd stretch of the imagination on your part? Unless you can assess the sanity of each and every individual associated with the Bundy case, you have nothing? You must prove the two shooters in Vegas were in fact, insane. Then to prove a link between their insanity and that of the Bundy supporters, you must do so scientifically and on a one case at a time basis.

OR........

You can just watch a couple of angry, gun toting freaks split off from the rest of the group of apparently like minded, gun-toting anti-government jackasses in Bunkerville, then go on a cop killing excursion and think;

"Hmmmm.....Maybe where there's smoke, there's fire?"

Normally, when a group of people get together in a park or back yard bearing hot dogs, charcoal and beer, they're planning on having a cookout, right?

So, what do you suppose a bunch of heavily armed militia members have in mind when they go to (ostensibly) "defend" a free grazing land seeking bigot on horseback who has run afoul of the law?

Think maybe somebody is itching for a gun fight and using the old racist windbag and his cows as an excuse?

I do.

Whell, do you believe that government health programs will include 'death panels,' that the President is actually loyal to Muslim terrorist enemies of the United States, and that plans exist for UN forces to act to disarm Americans?

I think you maybe should be a little slower to label other's "kooks."

Whell, what do YOU think the significance of the Tea Party flags at the site of the Tea Party Terrorist attack was?

Next Whell will be quibbling over what constitutes the Tea Party. Are they part of GOP? No. Are they an independent party? No. Are they racist? No. And the denial continues.

It's deplorable. Years ago, on this forum, I pointed out that this was a movement that advocated the armed overthrow of the legitimate government of the United States. Silly, I was told, to think that Tea Hatters would harm anyone.

Yeah. Silly. Tell that the the families of those two dead police officers and the innocent woman who made the (admittedly grave) mistake of shopping at WalMart.
