political nonsense-conservative commentators outraged by T-Shirt
Conservatives Criticize Free T-Shirts At Tucson Memorial Service

Even in the annals of political nonsense, this one sort of throws me. A number of conservative commentators and pundits united in outrage over t-shirts that the University of Arizona made up for last night's event.

"I'm having a physical reaction to the T-shirts," Amanda Carpenter, a speech writer for Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) tweeted tonight. "I'm tearing up. This feels wrong."

8. Repukes are falling all over themselves to emphasize just how evil they are.
gun sales skyrocket after the attack. who is buying them?

they object to any and all calls of bipartisanship.

they object to any and all calls of "soul searching", unless it's made specifically clear that liberals are to blame.

they refuse, absolutely REFUSE to stop using gun play and ballistic references in their political slogans and speeches.

pure. evil.

10. Wow - repububs really HATE the idea of America being united
Why don't they just pack up and move to a RepubliHomeland somewhere, so they can freely practice their fear and hate, without concern about being contaminated by honesty, sincerity, decency, or American Values.

11. THAT is what they're outraged over???
Fucking t-shirts? Not the fact that there was any need for such an event in the first place? Sadly, I am not surprised by this in the least.

13. If Demented's speechifyer is tearing up, someone is doing something right.
And since when is some second-string gasbag's speechwriter a voice we should be listening to?

I'd be far more interested in hearing the opinions of the people who clean the toilets at the WH, or anyone else who doesn't collect a paycheck by lying for a living.

MSM FAIL.
