IDIOT ALERT!: Arizona GOP Candidate Says Democrats Are Behind Most Mass Shootings

[mfcorey1]

FLORENCE, Ariz. (AP) — A Republican businessman running for Arizona's 1st Congressional District says most mass shootings in the U.S. are committed by Democrats.

The Arizona Daily Star reports (http://bit.ly/1lNY8Fd) that Gary Kiehne made the remarks at a Republican primary debate Saturday in Florence.

Kiehne, a Springerville rancher, told the 60-member audience that "99 percent of (mass shootings) have been by Democrats pulling their guns out and shooting people."

State Rep. Adam Kwasman, also a candidate and was there, said he supports gun rights. House Speaker Andy Tobin, who is also running, did not attend.

1. Are these idiots who make these wild accusations ever called out

or does anyone ever demand that they back up their claims with fact? As long as they are not challenged, their remarks stand as though they are valid. Isn't that the job of the media?

2. Candy Crowley called out Romney on his remarks about Benghazi.

That was extremely effective!

to get more guns into the hands of more people.

8. They can not win an election without lying.

There should be fact checkers at all political debates, political townhall meetings, political speeches, and political events on TV and radio.

Anytime a politician is talking to the public there should be fact checkers present.

Anytime a politician is on C SPAN there should be fact checkers.

The liars should be called on their bullshit.

It should be pointed out every time they lie, omit facts, or distort the facts.

It should be pointed out every time they switch positions or parties.

9. Um... Who was the party of "god, guns and gays" again?
