kyle + masochism

The football game starts in just a few minutes, but , for what ever reason, after sort of avoiding the news most of the day, I just wanted to see how Bill O'Rilley started his show tonight. Ten minutes in, ( and I am not going to watch any more...) he did nothing but whine about how the left , MSNBC, The New York Times and Paul Krugman are evil and being mean to him and Sarah Palin.

Not the condition of the Congresswoman or any of the others in the hospital, nothing about the parents of that little girl, or the family of the judge. Just " they are being mean, and are bad and we are not! " That gun sight over the congress man that was shot meant nothing at all, the fact that her teabagger opponent used THIS photo to raise money". NOT the fact that the right wing in the United States is in the back pocket of tn NRA, and a CRAZY man was able to walk in and by a weapon of war.... " I like to hunt" or what ever.
If Matthew Sheppard became the face of hate crimes in America, then I dare the gun nuts out there waving their second amendment rights to deal with this the face of Christina Green, the little nine year old girl who was gunned down in Arizona. Her mother said about her :"She was very active in the community, and she was going to visit Gabrielle Giffords because she wanted to learn more about how she could help the community -- even at such a young age. What she could do. What she could learn. It was going to be a learning experience for her."


Just some pre game venting here.. I am learning NOT to do this on facebook but here. One more thing about the shooting : ( not sure who wrote it  ) "A female Jewish Democratic congresswoman representing a conservative district was saved by a Gay Latino male rushing toward bullets. Meanwhile, the gunman was disarmed by a woman who'd already been shot by the gunman while a guy who was there and armed was deciding on whether or not to use his handgun for defense. I believe some stereotypes have been shattered."
