Congresswoman shot in head

I also would like to point out, that Obama himself did some of this boneheaded, ugly stuff by saying "If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun"

This guy was a nutjob- just like Oswald, just like Bremer, just like Hinckley.

Is that really the best the right can come up with? Really?

He was quoting from the movie The Untouchables. He was using it as a metaphor on how to counter Republican vitriol and attack ads. A metaphor that no one on the left took literally. It is nowhere near the same as using gun cross-hairs on a map targeting specific people; Sharon Angle's "Second Amendment Remedies; or countless other examples of violent right-wing rhetoric that is cheered and applauded by millions of gun, flag, and sign waiving Republicans.

God, I hate false equivalencies!
