Shooter Wins if GOP Denied Hate Speech
Shooter Wins if GOP Denied Hate Speech

Before you read the following, I want you to remember that the man who makes the statement that I'm going to quote is a United States Senator. You might find it hard to believe that he could have achieved such high status and power over the lives of his fellow Americans based on the words he spoke, ones which reveal that his mind is a vast wasteland, but its true.

His name? Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) and this is what he said in response the attemted assassination of Gabby Giffords and the deaths of six other people
:

Following the mass shooting in Tucson, Arizona, that left six dead and Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (R-AZ) in the hospital, there have been calls for politicians and pundits to back off violent rhetoric.

But tea party favorite Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) isn't about to let the tragedy change his tone. <...>

"The shooter wins if we, who’ve been elected, change what we do just because of what he did," Lee told ABC.


Yes, the shooter wins if we tone down the murderous, violent rhetoric...

2. Hate and rage are a basic Constitooshional right. Don't retreat. Reload.
Ya betcha. It's in the Second Amendment.

Should I be worried? I'm beginning to understand them.
