Media sponsored terrorism

OK, I am going to put on my Tin Foil hat (tm), but if people get angry, so be it.

It is no accident that Eric Holder is getting in trouble for "fast and Furious" when the gun laws that these states have are what kept him from checking on guns in the first place.

It is no accident that a lot of these madmen all read the same books, and are all right of center at the very least, fascist at worst.

It is no accident gun nuts sued for the right to carry real guns onto the Tampa convention floors, even though the city banned even toy ones, and no accident the feds stepped in and forced Tampa to let the gun nuts carry pieces, right within shooting distance of everyone from Rachel Maddow to Jon Stewart.

It is no accident that Zimmerman is becoming a folk hero in Florida.

It is no accident that Florida is one of the states where spree killers get their guns from.

It is no accident that the media is eating up all of this.

I live in Tampa, and yes, I am scared. The fact that the teabaggers got their boy makes it worse, because..

I would NOT put it past the Koches to have someone start a fight,
including killing Mitt himself,
as the Teabaggers would think Jesus Christ made it happen!

why in the world would Rmoney pick someone who the crazy wing nut extreme of the radical right wing 'baggers would just LOVE to be one heartbeat away from the Presidency... especially when that heart beat belongs to the person making the choice?

Was he forced to pick Ryan to keep the Koch brothers money?

Seriously, if Rmoney wins this election and doesn't toe the line for the ultra right wing...

Not to mention all of the mass shootings in the past few weeks... almost as if these "lone wolf" guys are taking cues from someone, setting things up for "well, business as usual, another shooting spree" next year.
