Seen a lot of democrats using this tragedy( as well as Newtown) to score political points. Is that okay?
You should list them. I'm sure it will compare well against the wacko tea partiers.

More cameras. More war. Less rights. More war. More police. More war.
We are going to bomb our way to defeating an ideology. How fuckin dumb are these people?
If this punk had any balls he'd go over there and join em if its so god damn important.
If he had any balls, he would not have decided to do what he did in the first place.
All violence is cowardly and extremely ineffective.
Anyone who votes for someone to decide for them, is by definition a 'moron'.
I am glad that the police did not partake in murder to please some who only want revenge.
So, tell me, did you see anything in the article that you liked?
the part where the police decided not to be murderers like the Tamerlan.
Good, glad to hear it.
I hope for america's and humanity's sake that the Federal prosecuters do not seek the death penalty and instead throw him in solitary confinement with the movie Gandhi playing 24/7 for the rest of his life.
And another in Ark.

Cuomo's comments:
"“It’s a terrible situation in Boston. And, unfortunately, … one gets the sense that this is more reflective of the ‘new normal,’ if you will,” he explained. “So much of society is changing so rapidly. We talk about a ‘new normal’ when it comes t0 climate change and adjusting to a change in the weather patterns. ‘New normal’ when it comes to public security in a post-9/11 world. Where these random acts of violence, which at one time were implausible, now seem all-too-frequent.”
Steve King is Tea Party also, here is how he uses this tragedy.

One more reason that the Tea Party sucks ass.

Everything they've ever done is toxic.
They are the original Koch whores.
Ya, notice they all kind of scurried away like cockroaches?
Yes.
The powerful sound of silence, is heard again.
Radical Islam and radical capitalism are really the same, both relying on a religious fundamentalism that justifies every violent action they take. Occupy needs to act as if we're fighting a war against "economic jihadists". Our battle must open their minds and expand their hearts.

Thanks. So how do we open their minds to the painful realization that they've been consistently lied to for decades? That the country they cherish has engaged in the most despicable practices. I think exposing the lies would be the logical way.
I happened across the story about Jessica Lynch, the female soldier who was rescued in the Iraq war. Much of the heroism portrayed by the media concerning her ordeal was concocted by the military.

Their must be a million similar stories out there. We need to write an encyclopedia called "The lies you believe" and include an essential addendum, "How to discern the truth".
Have any "stories" you'd like to include?

ignorance will NOT further you cause.
Enlighten me then.
Why is economics always brought into the disscusion? This thread is about the ingorance of the Tea Party and has nothing to with capitalism or socialism or most any other 'ism.
Getting people to stop being violent has nothing to with money.
Money has nothing to do with violence?
Our radical form of capitalism is a belief system that is the basis for the most extreme violence on the planet. In it's desire to plunder resources, justice is trampled in the almighty name of profit, and will ultimately lead to ever greater conflict.
What you describe is the history of civilization. Capitalism really has no bearing on greed and lust for power. Just look at the examples of empires and dictatorships thru history. Most were not capitalistic
Yes, capitalism doesn't cause the greed or lust for power, but when radicalized, any belief system can be used to justify that greed and the violence associated with it. For example, radical Christianity presided over the atrocities of the Spanish inquisition. The exact opposite of it's basic teachings.
Even democracy can be radicalized. It's been turned completely upside down, manipulated by the few for their benefit, and the many, instead of condemning it, actually defend the few's right to do so.
It's the gradual twisting of a rational belief into an irrational one that allows it to be the justification for any possible injustice or atrocity that no sane human being would ever consider.
poor people are often just as violent as rich people and vice versa.
Socialists, Communists, Capitalists all have histories of being extremely violent.
