Kiss My Crosshairs - Über-Douche Mike Lee (R-UT): "Shooter wins" if GOP tones down violent rhetoric
GOP senator says lowering violent rhetoric means ‘the shooter wins’

Following the mass shooting in Tucson, Arizona, that left six dead and Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) in the hospital, there have been calls for politicians and pundits to back off violent rhetoric.

***

"Whether it’s job-killing, job-destroying, job-crushing, job-ending, job-eliminating, job-preventing, job-limiting, job-hurting, job-excising, job-removing, job-exterminating, or job-doingawaywith – the point is clear," Cantor later said.

In an interview broadcast on ABC Sunday, Lee refused to follow Cantor's lead.

"The shooter wins if we, who’ve been elected, change what we do just because of what he did," Lee told ABC.

2. When things get really bad just double down on how you help make it that way
It's perfectly logical. You just aren't trying hard enough. Don't retreat. Reload!

3. Uh, maybe if the shooter's intention was to
make a point about violent rhetoric...which it wasn't...the shooter is a bag 'o nuts whose actions were driven by his own nutty head. How about you tone down your violent rhetoric because it is the right thing to do? And quit justifying it by using absurd comparisons used during the run up to Iraq/Afghanistan? If you are soooo worried about the bad guys winning, how about repealing the Patriot Act?
