I have documented proof that the first partisan attacks began at no later than 11:51 AM, slightly less than two hours after the crash, and that they were aimed at Obama. The rhetoric is now mostly unintelligible, Democrats bashing Republicans, and vice versa. It makes me want to vomit.

Why can’t people get it through their heads that a certain segment of the population is just going to be crazy, and that any group with a large enough population size will have the same ratio of sane to insane people as the population at large? I’m all for the constant mud slinging over things like health care, the lack of global warming, etc. But at some point we need to acknowledge that sometimes a tragedy isn’t partisan, that it’s just the act of some person who has gone absolutely bat shit insane, that there is no way to make sense of the insane, and that the best we can do is extend our sympathy and condolences to the families of those whose lives were lost.
