How much hate must a person be consumed with to find it acceptable to blame the innocent, on the backs of the dead and injured, of the actions of the insane?
How little is a person required to think of individual responsibility before they embrace the socialization of that responsibility for political gain?
How little must a person respect the victims of the Arizona Tragedy to use their deaths in an effort to silence their opposition?
Brad Miller knows; he is currently lost in the morass of those depths.
Via NewsObserver:
Miller, a Raleigh Democrat, had sharp words for recent political rhetoric that he said has contributed to a toxic environment, saying the right especially has been more virulent in recent times.
He blamed the media for not bringing more attention to issues such as political rally signs comparing Obama to Hitler, and showing dead bodies stacked like cordwood, comparing health reform to concentration camps in the Holocaust.
Had Brad Miller included just one example of the left plying similar waters (the numerous BusHiltler signs perhaps?), I could believe his concern over political discourse, but he did not which makes his statement the epitome of a blood lust (thanks Sarah) political attack.
Brad Miller can now be included with the likes of Paul Krugman, Ed Cone, as well as many other liberal commentators, who have made it clear that they believe that responsibility for Saturday's attacks in Arizona resides not just with the insane delusions of the shooter, but with groups beyond the conscience decision to perform such a terrible act.
Should a man willing to lay blame on the innocent be a law maker?
[Edit] The original final line - "Brad Miller -- A political animal without conscience" was a step too far and has been replaced by the current final line.
