The discussion started with my objecting to the way the left was politicizing the tragedy and trying to afix blame on Palin in particular and the right wind in general. I viewed it as illogical because it quickly became apparent the shooter was a mental case. That was the crux of the argument. Everything else, inc. commentary about who did what on the left, flowed from that and was tangential. So I'm not obsessed about balancing the rhetoric. I'm obsessed over the fact the left in general behaved badly re this tragedy by attempting to create a strawman and score political points with a false meme. Krugman was the worst with his 'eliminationist' strawman and is now forever in my mind as a disgrace to Princeton.
