Washington Times on NIXONLAND:

He concludes: "Do Americans not hate each other enough to fanatsize about killing one another, in cold blood, over political and cultural disagreements? It would be hard to argue they do not."

On the contrary. It's not at all difficult to argue they do not...

Washington Post on NIXONLAND:

In a peculiar passage, he writes, convolutedly: "Do Americans not hate each other enough to fantasize about killing one another, in cold blood, over political and cultural disagreements? It would be hard to argue they do not."

Police: Man shot churchgoers over liberal views

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Knoxville's police chief says the man accused of a shooting that killed two people at a Tennessee church targeted the congregation because of its liberal social stance.

Chief Sterling Owen IV said Monday that police found a letter in Jim D. Adkisson's car. Owen said Adkisson was apparently frustrated over being out of work and had a "stated hatred of the liberal movement."

Adkisson is charged with first-degree murder. Police say a gunman entered the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church during a children's performance Sunday. No children were hurt.

The church is known for advocating women's and gay rights and founding an American Civil Liberties Union chapter.

UPDATE: Chris Bowers links to my previous reflections on the subject in noting a recent fan letter he received yesterday and finds typical of the genre:

swift boat

Vets were telling the truth. The posted birth cert is a fake, and the day is coming when we spill into congress with ball bats and beat to fucking death all of the butt fucking pervert left wingers.

Have a nice day.
