The latest gun massacre highlights Republican hypocrisy on so many levels.

Just off the top of my head.

1. So called Pro-Life movement with a history of murder and terrorism.

2. Anti-Gun control advocates crying crocodile tears over latest mass murder.

3. Right wing cop killers given a pass while police brutality protesters blamed for cop killings.

4. Refusal to label violence of radical Christians as terrorism as they insist everyone do with Islam.

5. The cowardice of rejecting Syrian refugees when domestic terrorism is ignored.

6. Faux concern for mental health of citizens after scores of votes against the ACA.

7. The demonizing of France as soft on terror when they are on the front lines of the terror epidemic yet domestic right wing terrorists are coddled.

8. Refusal to take responsibility for demonization of abortion providers through lies and fake videos that incite violence.

9. Military assault type weapons used in crimes of mass murder and politically motivated cop killing. Not home or personal defense.

10. Common sense gun control that prevents people "not right in the head" from stockpiling weapons used for mass murder.

It's amazing how just one incident can incorporate so many of the hypocrisies of the conservative right wing.

Republicans endlessly tout their respect for veterans but continue to vote against their benefits. Same goes for the first responders of 9/11.

Republicans love the constitution but only certain amendments. They love the 2nd but not so much the 14th...or the 5th / 6th and they are sketchy on the 1st.

Republicans claimed they are the party of "fiscal responsibility" yet increased the deficit by trillions with 2 wars, new department creation and a giveaway to big pharma with Part D.

Republicans claim to value life...but one has to ask which life? They are all for torture and incarcerating people indefinitely.

Republicans claim they are the party of "small government" but bush jr increased its size more than any other president since FDR.

Republicans claim they are all for civil rights but threw a good chunk of them in the waste bin with the patriot act.

Republicans claim that government should stay out of people's lives but clearly that does not apply to women or gay people.

Republicans...
