TA: They have had ONE massacre.

One.

We have them weekly.

You can’t really believe “oh sure, they have far, far less gun crime than we do, but it still happens, so clearly we can’t do anything about it” is a valid argument, can you? Srsly.

also re: why no one pays you for this shit. it’s because what you write doesn’t tend to be kosher for any particular party or industry, so you don’t get to float on the cloud of punditry where you get paid to write for decades and can get away with not learning another thing in your life. it sucks but whatcha gonna do

T. America: lol thanks for the gun control fax. are those copy/pasted or something, because i don’t see a word about gun control in the post or the comments. are you on internet argue auto-pilot?

and yeah, i’m sure jason has benefited in some small way from years of education, sanitation, transportation, and a million other things from various entities (both public and private) in getting where he is as a presumably-self-sufficient artist. why is that something so horrible to admit? do you think he places some great personal pride on not owing anything to anyone at all in his life?

Jody-Norway is geographically isolated and has AFAIK, strict gun control laws, which didn’t stop a massacre. India, whose unarmed police were defenseless and unable to stop their mass murderer, also has strict gun control.
Major Hassan was at least a lonely neurotic, but he was and is hardly the first murderer whose motives were partly jihadist. I recall an Egyptian Islamist saying in 2005 that “in the last fifteen years, terrorism has become an Islamic enterprise.” Yes, I know of McVeigh, etc so that statement isn’t totally true, just mostly. As for Obama’s post-modern creds: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10000872396390443537404577577193632921170.html
P.S Isn’t it time for you to apologize for misleading us saying how hard you were working on your cartoon business? After all, as we now know, “If you have a business, you didn’t build that. Someone else made it happen.”

That’s because it wasn’t a gaffe. As was just explained to you. Stop drinking so much paint.

But yeah Jason, as previously stated we’re doomed to repeat these mass shootings until we can minimize the impact of the droolers that equate any talk of gun regulation with repealing the 2nd.

To TA, the media ignores Barry’s gaffs, while jumping on Mitten’s comments to minimize Barry’s. Remember how many states there are in Barry’s world.

In a speech, Obama did refer to ‘Polish death camps’, when they actually were Nazi camps

Teamster-

Thanks for the link. Wow! If there is an opening in the punditsphere for babbling incoherence, then move over Tom Friedman, there’s a new sheriff in town!

Is Davis Hanson (was he named by a snake or something?) quoting Obama when he says

“Indeed, the war is a sort of a vague haze where Nazi death camps become â€œPolishâ€ and Pearl Harbor was hit with â€œthe bomb.â€”

I mean he appears to be, but there is no attribution. This is in service of painting Obama as an unmoored “postmodernist” to whom truth is just so much sea foam, and yet the author refers to torture as merely “too harsh interrogations”, while leaking details about the Bin Laden hit appears to him to be somehow more Nixonian than outing the secret identity of one of your own CIA agents to get back at their husband.

The paragraph about our shifting attitudes towards Al Assad and QKGhaddaffi borders on cranksterism. Wasn’t Saddam Hussein our friend before he was our enemy? Wasn’t Libya’s dictator our enemy before he became our friend, before the Arab Spring gave us the mandate to shift gears again? Fuck, I don’t like Machiallvellian foreign policies either but at least I comprehend the logic.

The entire piece is a puddle of cranial diarrhea, something Hanson just emitted rather than wrote. So politicians refer to the Individual Mandate variously as a “tax” and a “penalty”. So what? Does this guy think that Obama invented spin?

And yet people get paid for opinions like these. What am I doing wrong? This guy didn’t even end his editorial with a clever Captcha gag! And Dus; Iccanot.

Hasan appears to have been a disturbed jihadist. Political correctness run amuck, (yes, even in the military), explains why his rants against ‘infidels’ during presentations about psychiatry got him promoted, rather than institutionalized.
Time magazine once had an article that pointed out that in good times, people in effect merely jostle one amother to enjoy the benefits. But in bad times, they assume their poor situation is due to some other group benefiting at their expense, which, in addition to racism may explain the Wisconsin killer’s alienation and actions. The big O’s policies aren’t exactly creating an economic boom.
