The Right is Desperately Trying to Prove The Assassination Suspect was Liberal

[Mr.WeRP]

They tried to do this with the last one as well.

Why?

Because they are all about using Violence to get their way politically.

Only one side keeps threatening civil war if the election results don’t go their way.
Only one side tried to overthrow the government
Only one side’s “very fine people” started riots that lead to a woman’s death in Charlottesville
Only one side shoots a doctor at his church for performing abortions
Only one side bombs women’s health clinics
Only one side is against any kind of common sense gun regulation
Only one side refuses to accept basic facts about the past election, Covid, vaccines, climate change, you name it
Only one side is desperate to try to make the left as bad as they are.

1. Always the victims.

2. Crazy guy with a gun. Shouldn't have had a gun.

But second amendment absolutists think everyone should be able to have a gun

Just a fact of life. Nothing to see here. Getting used to it, Sent thoughts and prayers. Moving along.

4. He has been charged with illegally having a gun as a felon.

Was not legally permitted to have it, yet he had one anyway.

8. Day late, dollar short

9. Agreed

How about anyone with a felony conviction should be subject to warrantless searches 24/7, so law enforcement can find out if they are breaking any laws ? Maybe bring back "3 strikes and you're out" laws ?

Routh, as a felon, was prohibited from possessing a gun. Somehow, he got one anyway (with the serial number removed, no less), thus violating existing laws. How would that be prevented, other than the scenario above ?

3. Excellent list!

5. There is a poster on DU who appears deeply invested in the man being a Democrat

Any insinuation that he isn’t a Dem or that he may be all over the place gets a very passionate and detailed rebuke. Surely I’m not the only person who has picked up on their schtick.

6. It's the classic "I know you are, but what am I?" argument.

And they're terrible at it.

7. Anyone heard of "The Hook" on FB and YouTube?

They "supposedly" report on the entertainment world and viral news stories. Today in their FB stories they were cleary following the right wing memo that the accused is a hard core liberal, who was constantly echoing President Biden, VP. Harris, and all Democrats statements about Democracy is on the ballot and Trump is a danger to Democray.

They also said he only donated to Democrats, is a registered Democrat, and though he voted for Trump in 2 016, he voted for President Biden in 2020. No mention of the fact he criticized President Biden, or that he was backing Niki Haely in the primaries. Last time I checked Hailey isn't a Democrat. She's also endorsing Trump after she said she wouldn't.

Typical bullshit of trying to blame liberals and sanitize the Republican trash.

10. If anything, he was a Never Trumper.

He voted for him in '16, and then became disillusioned (I wonder why LOL) One report said it was about Ukraine.
Anyway, he then was all in for a Haley/Swami ticket.
He dabbled in supporting some dems, but it was probably because he grew to hate Trump.

11. they don't give a fuck about chronic school shootings

but OMG when one of their own gun humping creations makes THEM the target.............

[Demsrule86]

12. The two would be shooters...voted for Trump and are Republicans.
