Republicans are in the majority. They could make the party illegal since they are ALL crazy like you say.

I didn't say that they are ALL crazy.

When you said, "Maybe they are just crazy" who were you taking about then?

I made the mistake of clicking on an CNN article just posted titled Who is Steve Scalise?

...Naturally, because he's a Republican, CNN takes this opportunity to try and smear the guy by trying to link him to the Klu Klux Klan from 2002.

As he was running for House Majority Whip, a scandal emerged when it was revealed Scalise had spoken to a group led by former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke in 2002. Scalise called it a mistake and apologized. Then-House Speaker John Boehner supported Scalise and Rep. Cedric Richmond, a black Democrat from Louisiana, also supported Scalise.

CNN=ISIS
CNN is showing it's true colors once again. Why print this? What does this have to do with Scalise getting shot for being a republican?

Three military choppers just flew down the Hudson. A show of force.

Wow. That is unbelievable.

Regardless, we have nothing to suggest, as of yet, that Scalise was a specific target.

Although, it's interesting that the gunman would start shooting at the one person on the field who brought his own security team.

That is because that security detail around only one man singled him out as the most important Republican on the field. The shooter asked if they were Dem or Rep earlier at the field.

This is a clear political attack motivated by the far Left. Only difference between this and the organized attacks by political operatives at Trump rallies is the gun.

This was the third highest ranking Congress member, you can bet everyone in Congress is going to go full ape# over this and demand investigations upon investigations, appropriate massive funding for security from now on and a real hunt can start for the perpetrators not some fake witch hunt looking for Russia under Trump's mattress.

So, you're cheering them on and supporting a cowardly attack like this? You seem to be defending the attacker.

The guy broke the law. He should go to jail. I'm just amazed anyone on the left feels that strongly about anything political. Most people on the left are nihilists or just drug using hippies. Using guns seems like something Republicans would do.

Ok, so who's going to be the first person to suggest this is a false flag being perpetrated by Trump to impose martial law?

Anyone?

Your contributions to this thread have been stunning.

What a prize.

Rand Paul said that the security detail were not on the field - they were parked in an SUV near the field.
They responded when the shots were fired...

I'm just amazed anyone on the left is motivated enough to stop smoking pot for any length of time. Maybe this is the new drug-free left getting violent.

Well maybe a drug lord sent his henchman to silence the ones who might stop opiate drugs from entering the country. The owners of the business usually don't use the 'product'. The dealers IMO will, but the bosses don't and I bet they will get off the couch to keep what they think is theirs or promote new 'territory'. /s

He was the only person who showed up with a security detail though. That would be easy to see for a Left wing operative in the third base dugout stalking his prey.

Not an unreasonable speculation.

I'm really glad to hear no one was killed and Scalise will be okay. What insanity.

What I find odd is that it's been reported that the guy asked if the players were Republican or Democrat...when it was clear, from the on scene interview of Jeff Flake, that the players were wearing red jerseys with the name 'REPUBLICAN' emblazoned across the chest.

Could the shooter not read?

Sure would be nice if this thread would be available to furnish news updates...

Not a free for all filled with rampant speculation...

Don't mind me, just venting

These days, the left is just plain fascist. You can draw direct comparisons between their behavior and the way fascists in 1930's Europe behaved.

Maybe - we don;t even know if he turned up in the same car as them, though.
Lot's still to understand.

Scalise is currently under surgery at hospital.

There will be a news conference shortly - I believe - think I heard FOX say so.

Just a quick note on law enforcement - they were the heroes of today. They undoubtedly saved lives.
