    Let's just take a sampling of the most retweeted and favorited Twitter posts under the search "Planned Parenthood" Christian." By the way, I never specified it was liberals on this board who were being gleeful.

    All those exclamation points! They can hardly contain themselves!

    Still no reports about potential religious leanings of this particular shooter, also.

    "Rush to judgement regarding Paris ..."

    Thanks for the laugh. Haven't laughed that hard in quite a while.

    Still unsure of motive.

    Investigators on Saturday were looking into Mr. Dear’s motive, and little was immediately known about him. He registered to vote in Colorado only a year ago. Before that he had drawn the attention of law enforcement officials in North Carolina and South Carolina, who accused him of minor offenses and traffic violations.

    Tony jumping in to defend hypocrisy on the board. No surprise there.

    Bottom line is you and many others assumed the motivations and faith of the attackers before you knew anything. Now some of you want to claim the same shouldn't be done regarding this incident.

    So, using the incident to make a point is glee? Go back and see the crap some folks you are defending right now posted regarding the Paris attacks. That was a hell of a lot of glee, by your standards.

    I recall glee over someone's pee.

    I am defending no one. You just think everyone has to have a side. I'm done with you. I know you need to have the last word, so I'll hang up and listen.

    And with that, the quality of discourse on this thread improved tremendously. Thank you.

    I say that because you have been consistently inaccurate in this discussion. You claim folks are happy about the attack, but that is not true. You claim there is no hypocrisy in insisting on a wait-and-see approach regarding this shooter's motives while defending those who did not wait on the Paris attacks. You say I think everyone has to be on a side when all I'm doing is pointing out the flaws in your posts on this thread. I don't know or care what your political leanings are. I care about the discussion.

    oop, not being argumentative, but probably 95%+ of the posters here don't care what holes you poke in whatever discourse, no matter which side of the fence those arguments lie.

    I tune such stuff out. Because there's about 7 billion people who don't give a fuck.

    OOP, why is it that, to you, nailing down who's a hypocrite is the most important thing?

    You continue to be a source of much laughter. Nothing else.
