The Christian Science Monitor is already calling him a Tea Bagging Terrorist(which coincidentally is Gabe's weekend nickname).

 

All Tea Baggers are not terrorists, but certainly all terrorists are Tea Baggers..er something like that.

Her: Don't you ever have any doubts about your politics when you see people like that on your side?
Me: Huh?
Her: You know, he's just so hateful and downright crazy.
Me: Who, Phelps?
Her: Yeah. I mean what kind of party lets him be a member.
Me: I don't know, bring it up at your next meeting.
Her: Me? I'm a Democrat.
Me: So's he. Gore supporter in the 80s, held fundraisers, his son was a Dem delegate in 88. Oh and he's run like 5 times for office in the Dem primaries.
Her: That's not true!
Me: Don't you ever have any doubts about your politics when you see people like that on your side?

John Patrick Bedell: Did right-wing extremism lead to shooting?

Authorities have identified John Patrick Bedell as the gunman in the Pentagon shooting. He appears to have been a right-wing extremist with virulent antigovernment feelings.

NeoNeocon wisely notes:

"Yesterday John Patick Bedell walked up to the Pentagon and shot two officers there before being killed himself. Bedell hated George Bush and was a 9/11-truther. And yet Peter Grier of the Christian Science Monitor calls him he was a right-wing fanatic. Bedell hated the government and the armed forces, as well. Typical right-wing sentiments, of course!

Grier doesnÂ’t even try to explain how it is that these things made Bedell a man of the right rather than the left, or even just a confused and demented man. Perhaps Grier thinks itÂ’s self-explanatory, obvious to any thinking person: Bedell had a gun; he shot two people. Man of the right.

This sort of “reasoning” also was present in most coverage of the case of Joseph Stack, who killed himself and one other person when he flew his plane into an Austin IRS building and was widely described as a right-wing teabagger. Stack left a manifesto in which he “railed against the U.S. tax system, capitalist greed, his accountant, former President George W. Bush and others.” Most news outlets left out the fact that it also contained praise for communism and condemnation of the greed of capitalism. Typical right-wing stuff."

First the Nigerian PantyBomber, now Bedell: when will the cops take the parents of these nutjobs seriously? From the AP:

HOLLISTER, Calif. – The Pentagon shooter had been behaving erratically, and his family feared in January that he had bought a gun, a law enforcement official said Friday.

San Benito County Sheriff Curtis Hill told the AP the parents of John Patrick Bedell filed a missing persons report and were worried about his mental stability. After reading an e-mail from their son to an acquaintance, the parents told deputies they were worried that he had purchased a gun.

Hill said that Bedell has been on the department's radar since 2003, when deputies found him walking along the side of the road. They wrote him up as a "5150" — police code for crazy — and took him to his parents house.

Hill said that Bedell, 36, has been at in-patient mental health institutions at least four times.

The parents reported Bedell missing on Jan. 4, one day after a Texas Highway Patrol officer stopped him for speeding in Amarillo, according to the missing person's report. Bedell told the highway patrolman he was heading for the East Coast, and the officer used Bedell's phones to call his mother, Kaye Bedell, because he seemed disheveled and out of sorts.

Kaye Bedell told the highway patrol officer in Texas that her son was fine, and the patrolman let him go with a warning. The next day, Kaye told sheriff's deputies in California that her son didn't have any reason to travel to the East Coast because he had no friends or family there and they were worried about his mental state.

The 36-year-old Bedell returned to his parent's home on January 18, telling them "not to ask any questions" about where he had been.

69 I think the CSM conclusion is based on the fact that Bedell knew which of the firearm went "bang". And everyone knows that Democrats don't know how to use guns, so Bedell must have been a rightwinger.

73 Violent Democrat, no surprise.

ObamaCare will implant chip every American. No surprise. The non-compliant will be chipped anyway when in prison for noncompliance.

Meanwhile, Obama has been resurrecting McCain's rejected Comprehensive Immigration Reform package with Schumer and Graham bipartisan sponsors.

Perhaps the "UNPRECEDENTED" Obama is indeed willing to waste years of his administration attempting the Comprehensive Government Reform Package eliminating the supremacy of the Constitution and any limitation or separation of powers, and muting the vote/voice of the CITIZENS. Authoritarians know best.

Citizenship would not be granted lightly, the White House said. Undocumented workers would need to register, pay taxes and pay a penalty for violating the law. Failure to comply might result in deportation.
