Ok ****head, I'm calling you out.

A Democratic Congresswoman has been shot in the head; another dozen were also shot.

We don’t have proof yet that this was political, but the odds are that it was. She’s been the target of violence before. And for those wondering why a Blue Dog Democrat, the kind Republicans might be able to work with, might be a target, the answer is that she’s a Democrat who survived what was otherwise a GOP sweep in Arizona, precisely because the Republicans nominated a Tea Party activist. (Her father says that “the whole Tea Party” was her enemy.) And yes, she was on Sarah Palin’s infamous “crosshairs” list.

It's time for you to apologize ****head for the attempted claim that somehow this is linked to "The Tea Partiers" and raw libel in the guise of "commentary" you have disseminated today.

This, incidentally, is why I reserved judgment on the motives of the shooter - but I won't reserve it for you - this capture from the alleged shooter's Youtube page which I'm sure will disappear shortly:

Pay particular attention to that list of BOOKS and that he has "I HAD" - that's past tense. You think someone expected to die today?

Among them are Mein Kampf and The Communist Manifesto.

I have never - ever - ran into anyone associated with The Tea Party - or anyone on the right side of the aisle (no matter how far from the center) that would consider Communist writings as favorites.

Never mind that the Youtube videos he had on that channel made clear that he did not believe in God. While we can have a lot of debates on the whole "Guns, Gays and God" thing, this much is certain: The Tea Party are almost to an individual people who do in fact believe in God.

You're a douche Krugman and that the NY Times gives you space for your incoherent and wild-eyed hatred of the majority of this nation is a national disgrace.

Update: I’m going to take down comments on this one; they would need a lot of moderating, because the crazies are coming out in force, and it’s all too likely to turn into a flame war.

The only "crazy" in this situation is YOU.
