There is a percentage of the population that drowned in collectivist sentiment years ago, and will never ever miss its cue to bemoan, be angry about, find amusing, or advocate whatever issue the propaganda leaders on the Left find currently most important tactically or strategically. In this case, the effort is to write speeches Obama can read that make him sound like he is an ordinary human being, with ordinary emotions. He isn’t. He sees the world through an ideological prism that does not include the capacity for genuine empathy. Everything is political to him.
I was upset when I read about the shootings. Then I got even more upset when I realized the Left was trying to USE it for propaganda. It is beyond disgusting. It is vile and morally reprehensible.
Why would it be any more likely he was a rightist than leftist? The Daily Cause, also, “targeted” Giffords for her CONSERVATISM. The Democrats said, in 2004, that Arizona was “behind enemy lines”.
Since I have never had the experience of believing in Santa Claus, or understanding how leftists rationalize their views, it’s hard for me to predict how this will all play out, but I suspect that the steady trickle of defections from the leftist camp will continue, once ordinary, well-meaning people realize that none of those affecting outrage at the Right care in the least about the people who were shot. This is simply one more of a long series of opportunities to be exploited for political gain. That trait, alone, will tell anyone with any common sense all they need know about why such people should not be running our country.
