Liberal Forum

for a forum to speak. They want their stories to be heard, and I think it's insulting to say that they are so stupid that they are just allowing themselves to be used. Where does that even come from? Who said those words? Are you really trying to discuss something? Do you have a point about anything other than hating other people questioning a movement you believe in? Because you're just pulling things out of thin air to rationalize what you feel about this particular issue, guns, not the issue of using victims to accomplish political goals and push more controversial or fringe agenda's right after a tragedy. I know their presence is inconvenient for some people, like the Republicans, but that is no reason to attack or insult them. You said that already. If you're going to keep resorting to bringing up the first thing you said like I don't know it happened, then what are you trying to do here? Ok, the people (GOP hosts and what not) you mentioned in the op for this topic were skeptical as to whether Obama is using the victims. Got it. I think Obama and the Democrats are using them too, but it happens all the time. We all know this already. All kinds of issues use recent tragedies to up the ante on legislation: 9-11 got the patriot act passed, the TSA and it's policies created and morphed for the continuing war on terror, elderly people and heat strokes/freezing so people can't get their a/c or heat shut off during certain months, kids falling to their death because of acid got stricter drug laws, mandates and ordinances against the sale of music got created because of heavy metal music and a couple idiots shooting themselves or someone else. It's a political show. It is made political and used for legislative purposes which effect everyones life in this country. It's done by all politicians at some point and if you don't recognize that then you're ignorant or blind.
