Dear Irony....

As I detailed yesterday, there are some on the left politicizing the Arizona shootings. In an example of extreme irony, it appears the people talking about how the Tea Party caused the shootings (falsely and with no evidence) convinced someone to threaten violence against a member of the Tea Party. NBC News was having a town hall meeting regarding the aftermath of the shootings when the man shouted "you're dead" at a spokesman for the Tea Party who was suggesting that discussions about gun control should wait until the emotions died down from the shooting. In fairness, the man was shot at the Giffords rally and I imagine he is dealing with a lot of issues. He is where he belongs, under psychological observation. But why did he think the Tea Party had something to do with the shootings when there is no evidence to suggest it did? Hmmm. He's in my prayers, and I hope yours as well. I will always encourage debate, but debate without evidence is propaganda.
