Not entirely true in this specific case.

 

There is a difference between a few crazy white guys acting alone and committing horrible crimes for their own reasons. Than let's say a world wide network of jihad is killing in the name of Allah.

 

I would say it's definitely true. More Amercians have been killed in mass shootings by crazy white dudes with political agendas in the past year; however, we have no political candidates, congressmen, or general public screaming for restrictions on white dudes' liberties (to be clear gun control would be a restriction on all Americans).

 

No one gives me a second glance or protects their wallet or shows any type of apprehension around me when the numbers show that I am equally or more dangerous than any other group (not me personally).

I know this is the new liberal tag line and used on here a lot but it's not true. If we add gang violence to mass shootings .

 

But let's say it is true. Is there a common ideology , common network or common political agenda behind this mass shootings ? The answer is no.

 

What we do know is there is a network of radical jihahist who have killed thousands this year in the name of Allah. Common goals, ideology and actions.

 

If we can't be smart enough to understand the difference between loan crazy people and ideology driven mass murder , done by a mass network of influence. Well then again we never win.

 

To compare loan crazy gunman to jihadist is not only silly , it's dishonest.

I know this is the new liberal tag line...

I think you're missing the point.

I think you're missing the point.

 

I'm not at all, I think you and other posters take giant inaccurate leap with some of your statements.

I agree , but its pointless to argue with people who cant see ( or tolerate) severe, extreme, racism from Sam J .

No you wouldn't. Sean Penn & Bono are slammed all the time by you righties because of their involvement. And Sean Penn actually walks the walk, and still gets slammed.

 

I slammed Penn a while back for wishing his critics would "die screaming of rectal cancer". That comment alone wiped out any good he did at that time. Everyone should slam someone when they're being that sub-human. Jackson's comment doesn't really bother me. It doesn't make him sound particularly bright, but it doesn't bother me. Penn's ignorant, vile comment bothered me. That ain't walking the walk.

***************

 

Times-Union readers want to know:

 

An email says that recent mass killers were all progressive liberals and most were registered Democrats. Is that true?

 

The viral email lists the shooters in the killings at Fort Hood, Columbine High School, Virginia Tech, Aurora, Colo. and Newtown, Conn., as being registered Democrats. “Instead of registering and banning firearms,” the email says,”possibly we should register and ban progressive liberal Democrats.”

 

A look at what’s known about the suspects pretty much debunks this viral email.

 

The information in the email seems to have originated with Roger Hedgecock, a former mayor of San Diego and now a lobbyist, lecturer and conservative radio talk show host. In his radio broadcast, Hedgecock did not provide any evidence in any of the cases, making assumptions in some and inaccuracies in others.

 

The email assigns a Democrat tag to Adam Lanza, the Newtown, Conn., shooter, because, it says, Connecticut has almost twice as many registered Democrats as Republicans. That is true (815,713 to 449,648, according to the latest state records) and it is also true that President Barack Obama carried Connecticut in the past two presidential elections.

 

But to assume that Lanza was a Democrat because of that makes an awfully large reach. Incidentally, as of the last election, there were 5,364 people registered as Republicans in Newtown, and 4,505 registered as Democrats. And Newtown went for Mitt Romney 51.7 percent to 47 percent, according to official election results.

 

NO PARTY TAGS IN VIRGINIA OR TEXAS

 

There is no proof of Fort Hood suspect Nidal Hasan’s political affiliation. He registered to vote in Roanoke County, Va., where he lived before being sent to Fort Hood, according to a Nov. 9, 2009, story in the Roanoke Times. Virginia does not allow registration by party, so he wouldn’t have been registered as a Democrat.

 

Hasan could have registered in Texas when sent to Fort Hood, but Texas also does not register by party. If he voted in the Democratic primary in Texas, that would be his affiliation until a general election, in which he could have voted for whomever he wished, according to Texas voting law.

 

But Hasan’s voting habits have remained undisclosed; there’s absolutely no evidence that he is a registered Democrat.

 

Since Virginia does not have partisan registration, it would have been impossible for Virginia Tech shooter Seung-Hui Cho to register as a Democrat there. Cho and his family were permanent residents of the U.S. as South Korean nationals, according to a Washington Post article that quoted the Department of Homeland Security.

 

While some Green Card holders can vote in state and local elections in a few states, they cannot do so in Virginia as all registered voters must be U.S. citizens.

 

ERRORS MADE BY BREITBART BLOGGER

 

Hedgecock’s allegation that Colorado theater shooting suspect James Holmes was a registered Democrat was based on Breitbart blogger Joel B. Pollack, who said he found Holmes’ voter registration records. But it was later determined that those records — though of a Holmes of a similar age — were not those of the suspect.

 

Breitbart later retracted the claim, saying: “Newly released information on the suspect’s birthdate (which, as indicated in our initial report, was a slight mismatch), combined with new details Breitbart News has obtained about the suspect’s likely addresses, together suggest that the suspect may, in fact, not have been registered to vote.”

 

Unfortunately, several conservative websites continued to run the incorrect information.

 

Dylan Klebold, 17, and Eric Harris, 18, the Columbine killers, were not old enough to vote, and Hedgecock acknowledges that. But claims that their parents were Democrats and progressive liberals have no proof. Both youth admired Timothy McVeigh, according to published reports, not Ted Kennedy, as the email purports. There is no substantiation that the families were registered Democrats.

Times Union, as in NY Times/Albany edition... And don't forget, Obama called some of these workplace violence. You should have used him as a source too.
