Is the “lone gunman” one of American’s contributions to world civilization?
A couple of months ago, the feds released a study saying that domestic right-wing terrorism would increase in coming years. A no-brainer, really, with gun and ammo sales skyrocketing, and the Republicans stoking reactionary populism and coddling the lunatic fringe – just remember those ugly McCain/Palin rallies, where anti-Obama shouts of “kill him” and “terrorist” were heard and racist iconography seen. But the GOP, in high dungeon (they are only too eager to exploit the crazies, but unwilling to accept responsibility for them) had the report withdrawn. With the murders of George Tiller and Stephen Johns, the GOP’s sickening dependence on fundamentalists, anti-government/conspiracy freaks, gun nuts, racists, anti-Semites, and misogynists, stands out in stark relief.
