Vitriolic Tone of Partisan Politics

[Dr. Shane]

Tucson shooting victim arrested after making threat

Quote:

James Eric Fuller, 63, who was shot in the knee on January 8, objected to comments from Trent Humphries, leader of the conservative Tea Party political movement in Tucson, during taping of a town hall meeting organized for an ABC News special program on the aftermath of the shootings.

Fuller stood, turned and snapped a picture of Humphries, said Pima County Sheriff's Department spokesman Jason Ogan.

"Then he yelled at him and said, 'You're dead,'" Ogan said...

The rampage sparked a national debate about whether the vitriolic tone of partisan politics in the United States in recent years had contributed to the suspect's motivations.

There has been a vitriolic tone of partisan politics in the United States for a long time. I can't believe anyone thinks political rhetoric had anything to do with this attack. That is like extremely shallow thinking, in my opinion.

That's because no one wants to take the blame for anything they do, so they just blame someone else.
