Re: Letters since 2007
In my thinking, there is no way any person familiar with Casper The Ghost would ever believe there was anything actualized outside of the confines of the story line of the comic strip/cartoon that anyone would describe as truly "supernatural".
And what do you think motivated his two previous bank robberies? Perhaps he's just someone inclined to break the law?
Or why don't you consider the fact that Williams himself, not his mommy, told investigators that the reason he was disturbed was because he couldn't find a job due to a shitty economy?
Also, his mom didn't blame Glenn Beck.
quote:
Williams' mother, Janice Williams, said to the San Francisco Chronicle that her son was angry with "the way Congress was railroading through all these left-wing agenda items."

So you see, each case has specifics to other motivating factors. But you will see what you want to see when you want to see it.
...and? Don't you think the cause of that might just be the "fightin' words", the conservative murder rhetoric that typifies the right-wing political discourse?
No, I just think that right-wingers are tougher than their liberal counter parts. They've always been.
Veterans tend to be more right leaning than left leaning, same with active members of the military. The right is always more supportive of the military and military actions. They support gun ownership and the NRA more. Like violent sports more than liberals. Etc.
This is common knowledge, and common knowledge before this rhetoric from Palin, Beck and the right-wing pundits.
But I'm not talking about "paying attention", I'm talking about taking seriously.
Ok, I get that. But any celebrity asked to be on a panel such as what you would find on Maher's show, is now being taken seriously. Claims made by them reach a broader audience than claims made by Palin of the same nature.
conservatives are passing around "liberal hunting licenses" and shooting 7-year-old girls.
Are you ONCE AGAIN, and this time don't deny it, claiming that Loughner was a conservative?
Fox News is an operating propaganda arm of the Republican Party. Roger Ailes has simply come right out and said so. They air Glenn Beck because it's useful to the causes of the Republican Party for them to do so.
Yup.
I guess I don't think it's funny to pass out a no-limit murder license.
I find it funny, we clearly have a different sense of humor.
It just seems kind of mean to me.
And thus supports my theory that liberals are more often than not, pussies. It is your side that hurts comics, musicians, artists, rappers, and anyone in the creative field, because your side is so fucking PC that everything gets accused of being insensitive, or too violent, or too harmful to our youth, or offensive to women and minorities, and should be censored, blah, blah, fucking blah. Enough already, sheesh. You think it's mean? Well man the fuck up a bit, honey.
But then, the point of disagreement we apparently have is that I believe political violence is an illegitimate response to losses in fair elections, and you think it's perfectly legitimate.
More liberal faggery...and now you've just lost it and have decided to completely misrepresent me by making yourself look like a concerned citizen and me as an inconsiderate, violence supporting nutjob. Me...the guy that argued with you about the need for guns in the home, and about the insanity of shooting any intruder that you kept advocating was ok. Fuck, your awesome dude.
If some 7-year-old girls get shot? Why, that's just youth involvement in politics!
Yeah, that's an every day occurance. Oh wait, it is. In ghettos across America. They must all be listening to Beck. Crack'a-ass crack'a dun got anotha nigga shot. Damn you, Beck!!!
