Maybe, but they probably wouldn't have been Democrats if their biological mothers had put them up for adoption.
Or something like that.

Well, as long as you ignore the last 6 or so perhaps you might be standing on solid ground. But your not, and the facts stand. The media has not been slow to assign blame to The Tea Party, the NRA, or "assault weapons" after any shooting. But a Black Obama supporter just shot up the Navy Yard with a shotgun. If a white Tea Party member who supported Romney did it with an AR-15 I don't think you or anybody else would be slow to point that out. Perhaps assigning the retarded phrase to those who jumped to the exact 180 out conclusions without any facts might be more appropriate. And accurate.

Is it a sign of racial progress that black men and other men of color are increasingly represented in our catalog of mass shooters? We still have a long way to go but the color barrier is definitely coming down.
All done w/o affirmative action BTW.

Agree. But no one blinks when the media repeatedly tries to shoehorn mass murderers into the Tea Party category.
And/or imply that the NRA wants to arm paranoid schizophrenics.
If you surveyed the general voting public, they'd guess that the mass murderers from PL54's list were Far Right NRA members.

Have pump-action shotguns been referred to as a "weapon of war" yet?

A mentally unstable man did a horrible thing. Politics be damned and fuck media spin. I tire quickly of political parties and their bullshit. Be human.
