Who Elected this Guy?

After all the hype and excitement surrounding the new Batman movie, now the nation is mourning the loss of a dozen people at the hands of a crazed gunman. We don't even have a motive in the shootings yet, and already a Republican, (from Texas, of course) is trying to link it to attacks on Christian beliefs.

I saw in the comments section of that article that someone asked, wouldn't it be something if this shooter comes out and said "God" told him to do it.  What then? 

It's stupid, inflammatory and self-serving to even inject religion into this situation without letting the facts unfold. It's just as stupid, this early on, anyway, to suggest that perhaps this guy was just enraged by Rush Limbaugh's comments this week....that the movie was somehow a liberal Hollywood plot to put the name "Bain" in a bad context in an election year to hurt Romney.  (Read more here, if you missed that trumped up outrage. Great column, Tony Norman)

And since this Texan still wants America to be the wild west, he is also lamenting about why didn't someone in the theater have a gun to take down the shooter? 

Of course everyone wants to live in a place where you feel you need to take guns with them to the movie theater, "just in case." 

Sheesh.
