Not really trying to incur the ire of my left-leaning friends, but this video was too good not to share...

That is some interesting info. I like the concept. Liberals are mentally ill and should be banned from congress.
Conservatives are mentally ill and should be banned from congress.

(But seriously, I doubt there's any real correlation between gun massacres and political affiliation...)

Wow, you sure set me straight. I'm glad that I'm educated now. I think my whole political view just shifted and I can now see the light of the liberal argument...
Dude, relax. I was sumarizing a portion of the article in what I assumed was a clearly humorous exageration of the correlation that was being described. Nobody should be "banned" from congress. If their constituents elect them, then they deserve to be representing those people, however misguided I may feel those constituents are.
Well, there does seem to be some correlation, although that does not necessarily indicate causation. If the correlation was there on the conservative/right side of things, do you think the media would be pointing it out all over the place?
I would be interested in a study of the phycology of these people and a study of their brains. Too bad they always seem to blow up their brains. If there was some sort of causal effect connecting mass murderers and political views, I would venture to say that the driving force would be that the mental proporties that lead to mass murder, when twisted or taken to extremes, would be the proporties that led to a certain political view. Not that the political view leads to mass murder.
It would be interesting, but no more than wondering if these people were Coke or Pepsi drinkers. I'm sure You might be right about the media though. If all of these had been "Gun totin', conservative, NRA-types" they probably would have jumped on the story. But maybe not. Even the media has a limit on strawman arguments...Well, there does seem to be some correlation, although that does not necessarily indicate causation.

What correlation? Besides Tim McVeigh, who I would classify as a domestic terrorist, do you even know the political affiliation of any of the recent mass murderers? They've mostly been young, high school or college age. They've made no political statements, nor were their killings politically motivated. They only statement they were trying to make is "LOOK AT ME!!!!" They want the attention, the notoriety. The Sandy Hook killer even stated he wanted a higher body count than Anders Brevik. He chose a school with small children for even higher shock value, to get more media attention (and he sure got it). These are sick individuals, but I don't think politics has anything to do with it.
