These were our children

POSTED: Friday, July 20, 2012, 9:57 AM

There are simply no appropriate words to express either my grief -- our grief -- over the senseless deaths, injury, and trauma in Aurora, Colo., today, or the despair that such evil exists in our world.

JMC you are already late with the countdown.On Good Morning America, ABC News' Brian Ross and George Stephanolpoulos suggested that the Tea Party might be connected to the mass shootings early this morning in an Aurora, CO theater during a screening of the new Batman movie, The Dark Knight Rises.Doesn't this qualify as hate speech?

I saw that too. What has to be going on in someone's head that when something horrible like this happens, the first thing they do is try to link it to the people that disagree with them politically?

There was no attempt to make it political, it was reporting a fact, when is reporting a fact political?
Paranoid crazy idiots! Give us all a break!

Limbaugh called people going to see this film "brain dead" just a few days ago. I'd hate to be him right now.

Speaking of children, why was a 3 month old at a movie theater at 12:30am?

Watch how fast the political angle by the political opportunist sicko's on the left and in the media gets ignored once it is found out that this wack job was a registered Dem. Just like it did when Gabby Giffords was shot.

Guns don't kill people. Imagine, if 10-12 other people were carrying assault weapons they could have prevented this. *SNARK*.

Years ago there was a place nicknamed the "Norristown Nut House" where all folks like this would be placed for a long time and BEFORE they had a chance to do any real damage. Thanks to the Libs who said it was "discriminatory" the nuts now roam the streets and the "Nut House" has less than 170 "criminals" in it and they want to turn it into a farm!!! Classic Lib way of doing things while they sit around in their 5 Star restaurants sipping the expensive wine, feeling good about themselves, blaming it on Rush or maybe Bush!!!...LOL!!!..CLASSIC!!!
