Correct, sarcasm

Iirc didn't a recently retired senior newsman say something like 'the GOP is trying to destroy America? Perhaps it was 2004.

Using this madman as an excuse to advance a political agenda or perceived advantage is as bad as anything the various reactionaries have said, perhaps worse. At least the reactionaries speak plainly.

A beautiful 9 year old girl died, oddly enough she was born on 9/11.

We should hope that her death wakes us up to the active marketing of hate for financial and political gain. I think the folks on the right are becoming extremely defensive because the connection between her death and the hateful rhetoric that has exploded over the last two years is too close for comfort.

I think the right doesn't like being blamed for something they didn't do.

And all of this talk about the right inflaming the lunatics is no more than a rehash of the domino theory.

On second thought, it does appear to be inflaming the left.

Operating a broadcasting corporation in once case, and fund-raising in another case.
