... a little Austin Powers lingo there. Anyway, there's a poll out that says that 60% of those surveyed don't think that rhetoric had anything to do with the Arizona shootings. At first blush, that would seem reassuring. On second thought, only 60%!!! This entire idea of rhetoric having anything at all to do with this should have been shot down as ridiculous right from the start. It bears repeating over and over again until those who are mentally challenged get it... There. Is. No. Connection.
It matters not that you want to believe that there is a connection. What you want to believe doesn't figure into this instance or any instance for that matter. If it isn't connected, It. Isn't. Connected. End of story.
The rhetoric isn't the thing to worry about. It is the stupidity that's behind the belief that the rhetoric is behind it.
