Sadness, but No Anger "The responses of both presidential candidates to the horror in Colorado feel weak to me. They are characteristic of our culture, which treats each of these grostesque acts of mass killing as “tragedies.” The proper response to such an atrocity is rage. It wouldn’t be out of place for the president and the man who hopes to replace him to refer to the shooter as a “monster.” We don’t do that. Instead, we focus on “healing.” We’ve become excellently behaved victims." Mona Charen
ABC Irresponsibly Connects Colorado Shooting to Tea Party
NRO; Colorado: Our Odd Focus "Whole groups will be vilified, blame will be apportioned to those many times removed, and the shooter will be partially absolved of blame by those who prefer to see fault in video games or talk radio or political rhetoric or anything else that can be conscripted to explain why terrible things happen to good people. Few will point out that unless someone commits an atrocity in the name of an ideology — Timothy McVeigh, for example — their political beliefs are wholly irrelevant. Even in cases where a killer is motivated by something specific, to draw general conclusions is most often folly. America is not the land of collective guilt, and mass shootings should carve out no exception. Those few people who have already jumped on the crime to hit out at their boogeyman of choice are fools." Obama Prays For CO Victims: "What If Malia And Sasha Had Been At The Theater?" "I think is a day for prayer and reflection," Obama said in conclusion. "I'd like us to pause in a moment of silence of the victims of this terrible tragedy." In a particularly odd moment, several of Obama's supporters in Fort Myers chanted "Four More Years" as he concluded the decidedly apolitical event. Mitt Romney Reacts To Aurora, Colorado Shooting ""We pray that the wounded will recover, and that those who are grieving will know the nearness of God," Romney said."

Neal Boortz draws some conclusions on the Colorado shooting "Even at this early stage in the investigation, there are some things which we will undoubtedly see:
Progs will use this tragedy to focus on their desire for gun control.At some point the killer will be identified as a right-winger. This will be used to promote Hillary’s signature on that U.N. small arms control treaty.Our hearts go out to the friends and families of those killed and injured in this attack.
