A man barged into the Arkansas Democratic headquarters and opened fire Wednesday, fatally shooting the state party chairman before speeding off in his pickup. Police later shot and killed the suspect after a 30-mile chase. Police said they don’t know the motive for the 51-year-old suspect, whose name has not been released. However, they said moments after the shooting, he pointed a handgun at the building manager at the nearby the Arkansas Baptist headquarters. He told the manager “I lost my job,” said Dan Jordan, a Baptist convention official.
Chairman Bill Gwatney died four hour after the shooting. The 48-year-old former state senator had been planning to travel to the Democratic National Convention later this month as a Hillary Clinton superdelegate.
Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, issued a statement calling Gwatney “not only a strong chairman of Arkansas’ Democratic Party, but he is also a cherished friend and confidante.”

The shooting is no laughing matter, and my thoughts are with Bill Gwatney. He is in critical condition. After reading the article, how does one come to this conclusion:

subject Once again
mailed-by verizon.netOnce again the hate you and folks like Hannity spew has caused another right wing nut to resort to violence. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26181389/ What you do is nothing less than starting a riot and you should be held accountable. You should be in jail. Your hate turns people to murder.
Ridiculous. Michelle is someone I love to disagree with and do so often, but let free speech reign!!

“my thoughts are with Bill Gwatney.”
Malkin offers no such sympathy, only a cry baby tantrum that she got one email from some anonymous dude that basically calls her hateful stuff out. Then comments after that are full of awesome, too:

Michelle, could you and Hannity pick up the pace a little? There are still so many good targets.”
Not one person in that thread has anything to say in terms of thoughts or sympathy for this guy.
Gutless, classless pond scum.
angryflower,
You are in my thread, not Michelle’s. I linked to it because of the stupidity of the person that put the blame on her and Hannity etc., but I offered my sympathy because I do wish him, God willing, a speedy recovery.
As for; Gutless, classless pond scum..well the topic never would have come up had it not been for some idiot that wants to jail a person that isn’t involved in the crime and wants to silence the voice of opposition.
This is a tragedy of huge proportions. An investigation must be launched immediately to find out who conspired with this shooter to attack the Democratic Party!
Of course this is the fault of the Right Wing Hate Machine! Eevn though they didn’t pull the trigger, they are all nearly as guilty. Limbaugh with his $40 million practically has blood on his hands.
I call for the fairness doctrine to be passed on an emergency basis! Forget this foolishness about oil or the inconsequential Olympics that are dominating the news! Who cares about the Russian invasion! So what about the Iranians, who are doing nothing more than anyone else!
This cowardly attack by the Right on the Democratic Party should be the highest priority issue facing the Nation now!!!

Okay, Democratic Activist HAS to be a satirical name. No one could really be that stupid, or so blatantly in favor of removing our right to freedom of expression.
DA, you’re an ass.

PS: Wasn’t there a Nobel Peace Prize winner who said she wanted to murder President Bush. When are you going to start bleating about that?
It is time for the DEMOCRATs to knock off the hate speech. They are only reaping what they’ve talked about dishing out.
Angry D-
It’s in the archives. I talked about it just as soon as it happened.
Pam;
I know. It was a rhetorical question, but thanks. I have a hard time with your archives– I keep reading stuff I want to comment on but the comments are closed!
-AD-
Angry D, Dem Actvst IS fake.
It’s painfully obvious that the person is insincere with their posts/political beliefs as DA.
What kind of unproductive LOSER actually takes the time to pretend that they are someone else here on Right Voices?
Seriously.
It’s not even close to being clever, in fact, it’s f*cking lame.
Hey SFL, good to see you around!
They’re looking for you on the topic about Edward’s affair:
http://rightvoices.com/2008/08/08/john-edwards-half-assed-admission-of-an-affair-to-remember/
This the topic titled: “John Edwards Half-Assed Admission Of An Affair To Remember:.I Didn’t Pay Her Off, But “Possibly”My Friends Did Without Telling Me!”
Everyone is waiting for your comment, plus a statement from you about your statement quoted in that topic.
Ref; August 13 2008, comment, an investigation must be launched to see who conspired with the shooter. Talk about paranoia I guess it takes two or more left wing nuts to shoot someone. Get over it, it takes only one right wing nut to pull the trigger. There is no plan to silence the left, who in my opinion are always looking, planing,and scheming to silence anyone who disagres with thier point of view. When you constantly develop these little plans to silence people with whom you don’t agree it causes you to be paranoid.
