President Obama calls Aurora Mayor Steve Hogan
President Obama called Aurora Mayor Steve Hogan on his way to Palm Beach International Airport in Florida, following the tragic shootings that left 59 injured and 12 dead.

Pete Souza, Official White House photo
Kathryn Ruemmler, Counsel to the President, and FBI Director Robert Mueller speak with President Obama and VP Biden in the Oval Office
Upon arriving back at the White House he sat down with senior advisors in the Oval Office to discuss the events.
In the aftermath of the shootings, both President Obama and Mitt Romney are pulling ads off the air in Colorado. Obama campaign spokeswoman Jen Psaki said: “We have asked affiliates to pull down our contrast advertising for the time being. It takes time for stations to be able to do this, but we are making every effort.” They later clarified that they were pulling down all advertising, not just the negative.



Now that is a gesture of compassion.
I sincerely believe that President Obama cares about the devastation of this event.
In contradistinction, I sincerely believe that Romney is only examining the "cost-benefit" analysis of the situation...for his campaign.
This is NOT a political issue! Have some respect!
Yet you come here to stump against Ed.....just with your nick itself....it speaks politics.
Mom--Did you bother to read the post? This has nothing to do with politics!
@1.5 TMom isn't talking about your post. She's talking about your name. Can you read?
Can you think?
I thought both political parties had agreed to stop the political ads today. I am watching the history channel in one TV and there it was Romney's insulting ad. What a liar, that guy is. I have seen the same add in the Discovery channel too. And in my local channels. Obamas ads are nowhere to be found. He probably think that no one will dare to say anything because of the CO massacre. I am as pedantic as I can be. So, sorry. Details are my life, and I have 4 tv monitors.
They only pulled them in Colorado.
President Obama is a honorable, compassionate, and caring man. YOU HAVE MY UPMOST RESPECT FOR YOU AND HOW YOU HANDLE YOURSELF. YOU ARE A VERY GOOD MAN BARRACK OBAMA.
For a group of people who profess to want to help their fellow man, some of you guys sure do attack without provocation. My issue is with the negative and fallacious manner the ed show portrays itself, not the people who post here.
Although I do not like Romney,however when he spoke today I genuinely saw a caring person, not a politician. This is neither the time nor place for political stuff. GOD BLESS THE FAMILIES AND THE PEOPLE OF AURORA.
but that doesn't include fox news, correct?
Corrupt Media Stinks IE ED. The IE ED means "in effect, Ed." Which means you don't think there is any other corrupt media but Ed Schultz. Which means you are a lying bag of excrement.
How's that for truth in media?
You know what is really funny about these trolls, they have to do battle with this little old gray haired grandmother. They should be embarrassed that as my friend MD says. I can sling them around by the tail. Makes me want to roll on the floor laughing.....Ho, Ho.
The real--It really is MS-I have no audience-NBC or what ever it has morphed into, that I have issues with.
where is MD?
Corrupt, it obviously has some kind of audience; you're watching.

lush rant about "The Dark Night Rises".....Now I'll see it no matter what!!!!!
Charge this night with TREASON.....he is a nut case....and his rants are dangerous and crazy.....
Rush is an ignorant, bigoted druggy. He tried walking back those comments a day later when he found out that this character was developed long before Romney was ever around. I guess everyone has a time machine now, lol. But the creators are conservatives on top of it. then Rush tried to act like he said something different than what he actually said, what a clown.
Hi Kv, hows......birdie :( I forgot his name. sorry.
Hi Dawn. It's Joe. You just made me laugh.
oh yeah joe hee hee, you know I'm gonna forget again though. glad I could make you laugh on such a somber day.
Somber day indeed, Dawn.
kv did joe remember me today lol?
kv, we all must remember Dawns long term memory problem. lol Evening folks.
@TM,
If you were to bet this guy (James Holmes) is a person who listens to Rush Limbaugh, or a person who follows the OWS movement, which one would you bet on? I know which one I'd bet on.
@TM,
So who's dangerous and crazy, Rush or the OWS whackos? Do you remember the OWS whackos that tried to blow up the bridge in Ohio?
Except they were not from OWS they were using OWS to distract police from what their real goals were. Funny how you free republic posters always try to make something into what it isn't. And how many times has rimjob had to scrub free republic after a right wing nut job did a dirty deed 5 times at least because of the nut case getting support from free republic supporters.
@whomitmay,
So let me get this straight. If you're a whack job that wants to distract the police, you identify yourself with the OWS movement? The OWS movement in Ohio was the victim?
Unlike you right wing nut cases the left do not have a support group for nut cases. If you had bothered getting the information from an news source other then Fox or free republic you would have seen that the people involved infiltrated the OWS movement to use the movement to keep cops busy. But no you went to free republic then bring that filth here.
@whomitmay,
So, let me get this straight, the only credible news source when it comes to the OWS movement is what? Please let the rest of us in on the clue.
Well db when you have Fox news making up fake outrage stories about ACORN, new black panthers, Fast and furious as well as Moon Bat in congress running the same old crap then your side is not a reliable source of information. Just because they support your racist bigotry doesn't make it true. That you come on Ed's blog to run your misinformation just goes to show you can't question anyones credibility when you have 0 credibility.
@whomitmay,
From your rant, I didn't get the credible news source we should turn to when it comes to the OWS movement? Please let the rest of us in on the mystery.
you watch fake news so what the hell would you know about a 'credible' news source junior?
Or reality.
SpillBaby-
With your biased, bigoted, one-sided opinions on everything, all you've done is demonstrate your own point of view.
Every question is an answer.
There you go again, young man, (whom), OWS tore up the west coast. The majority of OWS are bitter, non-acheivers, hygiene-challenged, lazy,non-contrubuters who were ginned up by the socialist Obama administration.
And created by the right-wing.
President Obama is a good person. He exercise good judgment based on his sense of sympathy and empathy. We are lucky to have him as our nation's leader.
Retroactive Romney has ZERO concern about "you people" (Middle Class serfs) that are affected by Rightwing obsessions with God, Guns, and Abortion.
Pathetic.
...and gays.
LOL, I like that "Retroactive Romney"
Might win out over Wrong Way Willard. or Me, Mine, Mitt.
We are so lucky to have President Obama. He cares about everyone, unlike some others I could name who only care about themselves and their money.
Who could that be?
TheRealChris - lets follow the lead of the President and his opponent Mr. Romney and leave politics out today.
Let's give our thoughts and prays to the victims and their families.
Just me?
Your thoughts, will do nothing. Your prayers, will do nothing. Stopping the NRA, will.
Click this link and start doing something:

Page not found it says Chris!
He used assault rifle why are these allowed animals don't shoot back! And good hunter would never use one. (except Ted Nugent)
But corrupt government officials like Janet Reno, and the first bush do shoot first with assault weapons, so a gun that only looks like an assault weapon is the least you should own. So a handicapped individual should not be allowed to own a gun that he can shoot? He should only have a bolt action that someone must load for him every time?
These are not assault weapons, they do not fire multiple rounds when you pull the trigger.
Deer old teddy, never saw a deer he wouldn't kill. According to ted, deers fear him.
I wish he'd get kicked in the head by a dear.
No teddy said he shoot intruders, he doesn't care what species they are. And I agree 100% with that. A deer in your home with his hoofs, and rack are extremely dangerous threat. I would use a class III also to get the job done quickly before it wrecked the place. But please consider a silencer so as not to alarm the neighbors if it is late.
All this talk of guns...what ever happened to good old fashioned mace and tasers?
Afraid that is too practical....these hacks want to shoot to kill. If zim had carried those everything would have been Ok. But this mentality value their lives over others, so they become so paranoid, they have to carry a gun........This still has nothing to do with this guy....he was of a mind to do it. Gun laws and law enforcement can't monitor every one. Especially since the NRA wants to put a killing weapon in every ones hands. The are guilty of not being responsible for what they want sale.
xxx ooo-
It worked when I clicked on it. Try again.
I won't have Face Book so no go..
It's got nothing to do with Facebook. It's an organization. I don''t know what trouble you're having. Google Brady Campaign. That should do it.
rosupi: I think the government banned them. But maybe you can get your reps to offer a new amendment tasers and mace shall not be infringed.
My heart and prayers go out to the families of this tragedy. Seems as if we keep repeating this terrible movie. I just pray that in time their hearts will be lifted.
I have calm down, Lets Pray for The Families and City/State.
Its not the adds, more so then the leaders like " Michelle Bockman" and others.
Bachman but i know what you mean.
Congresswoman Bachmann was only pointing out that if you, or me, or she had immediate family members affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood, that we would not get a US Government security clearance. Can you argue with that? I can't. The Muslim Brotherhood wants to destroy the US right after Israel.
Somehow, Anthony Weiner's wife got that security clearance.
Moon Bat was just being her insane self and succeeding in proving she earned the nick name Moon Bat. Here we go again with the typical tea bagger bed wetting fear except he leaves out the part where McCain came out against Moon Bats crazy conspiracy.
Ever wonder if they actually believe the crap they put out or are they just playing stupid.
@John,
Do you think for an instance that you would get Government clearance if your immediate family had affiliations with the Muslim Brotherhood? The Muslim Brotherhood, after Israel, want's to destroy the US.
I sure hope you would't get that clearance.
Oh ffs db GWB gave the Bin Laden family a free pass out of the country on 9/12. Just because your side is known for their stupidity is not our fault it is yours. That the Muslim brotherhood is one of Glen Becks crazy delusional whines doesn't mean jack in the land of reality. BTW db what about the GOP it wants to destroy the US more then Muslims do so stop hiding under your bed wetting yourself whenever Muslims are mentioned.
@whomitmay,
You will get America's response in the 2012 election. This President is in way over his head and it shows.
drillbit, ive yet to get an answer from you 'intellectuals' on the difference between bushs policies, the one the american ppl rejected in 2008 and robme's. why don't you enlighten us in detail?
Like how he speaks for the country while ignoring that without minorities the GOP are stuck with Grumpy Old Perverts and there isn't enough of those left to carry the day.

Don't surprise me at all... President Obama always do the right thing!! Love Mr. POTUS!!! ♥ ♥
I love President Obama too. I have never felt like this for any other president. He is a classy, great person. I hope that no matter how the election go that everything go well with him and all his family. He deserves a great life. ♥ ♥
Me too!
Yeah,
President Obama is a likable guy, just a horrible leader. Now just go away.
ABO 2012
And Mittens is neither a likeable guy nor a leader.
Maybe to you. But I think Mittens is sort of likeable and way more of a leader than this Community Organizer that pretends to be President of the US.
The Left got hoodwinked. There is no other way to put it. They got suckered! They voted for a guy with no Executive Experience and look at what happened.
Obama is a failure any way you look at the Economy.
Really and just what did Mittens lead nothing. To bad for you that your great white hope is such a dope. An economy created by the GOP and their trickle down bull@!$%#. What has the GOP congress done why nothing they are to busy voting for more vacations and peeking into womens vagina's.
And using that experience, you're prepared to get hoodwinked by your candidate.
Nothing like learning from experience.
drill,
mittens is "sort-of-likable". thats the way all repubs feel about mittens.
President Obama isn't the only elected official expected to lead. the republicans have NOT worked together to bring this nation to the best outcome after the worst economic disaster since the Great Depression, as per their promise to each other to say "no" to all President Obama's economic policies.
democrats and republicans know how to get the economy moving, but the repubs have refused to do anything the President wants, because they want to make him a one-term President.
bear in mind, i am not saying you feel this way, but from what i have seen from the governance from the republicans in washington, they would rather see our country go off a cliff than have a black Democratic President in the White House.
god bless america.
I for one would love for Alan Keys, Herman Cain, and several others. Thomas is needed on the courts so don't dare move him.
Don't surprise me at all... President Obama always ddo the right thing!! Love Mr. POTUS!!! ♥ ♥
I agree.
Some respect being shown for the common people. Great compassion and respect from our President. Thank you, sir! ♥
Maybe it's time to start paying closer attention to the young adults and a little less attention to all this foolishness America calls politics.
Who has need of a Glock or a drum clip unless you mean to do harm?
This man was in trouble and it was know. Yet no one had him committed?
Lets see, that is an easy one.
1. Central Park Jogger.
2. Reg Denny, (trucker in the LA Riots)
3. F350 pickup driver outside birmingham who was attacked and stabbed by a dozen bikers.
4. Two reporters at VA beach who were jumped be a couple dozen thugs.
5. Man in his home in NYC who stupidly fired his AK into the ground so the mics would alert the police to the shooting location instead of into the chest of the gangsters moving on him. Now he is up on gun charges because there is no gangster there for the police to see.
6. The children at waco when reno was killing them with tanks.
7. Anyone who is being attacked by holders people in chicago.
8. Man in bessemer when the black thugs attacked him in mass on his front lawn. What a great bunch of neighbors.
What do you suggest a person use when faced with dozens of criminals? I think the latest term is "White women bleeding", guess wilding was to short.
But an automatic glock for your week side can sweep the crowd of thugs while you use your semi or revolver to pick off the greater threats.
No an automatic is very useful in certain situations, sadly our government prefers the gangsters get away with it so they don't get injured trying to arrest anyone. But that is why you have selector switch, so it can be used as a regular weapon if needed for lone attacker.
Heck the shooter in swedon put his in single shot mode because he was wasting ammo just spraying, when placed shots was much better to get the body count up.
Sounds like he's your kinda guy, a full blown nutcase. Birds of a feather flock together yaknow....dumbass.
A jackoff like you wouldn't have known it. You would have thought he was a "bright guy. He's into guns and 2nd amendment remedies."
A Glock is not fully automatic, it's a semi-automatic pistol so you can't "sweep the crowd" with it on your "weak side." Get a grip.
Seriously, anyone who knows anything about firearms can see you don't have the first clue what you're talking about.
Lots of people own Glocks. It's just another pistol like anything else you can buy. A drum clip in and of itself is not an indicator that someone "means to do harm."
Once again, look at the facts.
There are thousands of people that own both of these items and have zero intention of harming anyone.
Furthermore there was absolutely no clue that this guy was going to go off like he did. None. Up until this incident for all intents and purposes on paper he was a fricken eagle scout.
Well glock does make one, but you can't own it in the US.
I don't have any, anything the police use is not for me. I want better.
Nobama: yup if that young man just had more HOPE and seen more CHANGE....maybe just maybe..........SAD so SAD....
Now that is down right out of place here. There is a time for such statement and this is not it. Don't be un-couth. Yes, this young man was in trouble, too bad no one saved him from him self before it was too late. Surely the fair and clear minded will be able to take this into account. God bless everyone that this has affected.
yes you are....
b113, something is seriously wrong with you. This a very sad issue an you make a joke of it.
.
unbelievable, the rep.just can't stop hating even for a day or even a minute
This is what hate creates!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think it's time for him to get deleted too. b that is.
Nice try with the Avatar B113.
Why would Right-Wing bloggers try to make a Progressive blogger look like a Teapublican ?
Would it be because that Progressive blogger makes way too many RIGHT ON POINTS about radical, Right-Wing, racist, women-hating, homophobic, Republicans ?
This shooting today was tragic and my heart and thoughts go out to the innocent bystanders and their loved ones.
Save the disgusting political B.S. for another day B113.
@Hope42012,
ABC News made this whole story political when they accused a Tea Party Patriot of committing this horrific act before they had all the facts. Shame on you, ABC.
And the obvious question is WTF was going through this guys head. Theory has it Charles Whitman had a tumor pressing on his amygdala causing uncontrollable rage. But then Whitman's actions seemed to be more spontaneous, the Aurora CO, was planed, like in Columbine.
Like a profiler/detective I cannot help to try to figure what sets people like this off. A common personality trait is the quiet loaner, obviously most people when feeling isolated/alienated, and paranoid, within a crowd keep to themselves. But still this is impossible to fathom, yet every year stories like this pop up.
I cannot help to feel for the victims and their families, I also cannot help to think when is this going to happen again, and will I be there at the time.
What was going through his head was a whole lot of personal crap no one knows anything about. Whatever he says is a rationalization. Like the guy that killed Lennon, it all started in his childhood and had absolutely nothing to do with Lennon.
@Viewer01
I knew we had something in common. My very first question was why? What's going on why do you have to hurt so many people?
This was planned and we need to find the guy that propped the door open.
My prayers to the familes and the loved ones.
Yeah, it never is just one thing, but many building over the years. Unlike most mass killers, this one was apprehended alive. A knee jerk statement would by tar and feather the guy, [that would be too much on his level]. Like I say, you just want to know what sends someone over the edge like that, he needs to at least be studied. A bright student of neuroscience, there is more to this story.
Klebold and Harris, had a vendetta on Columbine, same with other school shootings, like Stephen Kings Carry you can kind of understand what is going on there. And Tim McVeigh was political, but this....a smart educated guy???
Got to say one thing as a gun owner, who enjoys plinking; The need for an automatic weapon, and being able to obtain one without a license and screening has got to change.
Ethelouise I am pretty sure we have more in common than just this.
Ethel, someone said on the other post that he actually went into the movie and then went out that emergency exit, probably put tape on it, went and got his guns and came back in. I don't know if it's true or not. I didn't hear it anywhere else. If it's not true though someone had to help him.
Holmes propped it open by himself. Too bad an usher or a patron didn't go kick the prop out of the door while Holmes was outside. Something I'm curious about is why did some of those people take BABIES to the theater? As loud as the sound is in a theater, those poor kids will probably lose part of their hearing. It even hurts MY ears, so I can imagine what it does to a baby!
I don't know what to say. Politically, no one is willing to commit political suicide (NRA) the lunatics with the guys are a part of the NRA. This is so similar to the Tobacco companies. Guns don't kill, people kill...cigarettes don't cause cancer....? Everything is so motivated by money, it just leaves me speechless!
No, gun free zones kill people. Not oe problem like this except where they don't allow people to protect themselves. With the exception of Giffords, but her supporters were probably of the same dumb mindset.
The government is throwing the criminals out on the street, and you think now is the time to only let them have guns.
The US already has the biggest prison population in the industrial world, even China.
So if everyone in that theater had a gun less people would have been hurt???
We will never know. They never attack where they will be shot back at. That alone should tell you something. But if they taught gun safety and shooting in school like they do putting on condoms, then yes definitely. At least you have a chance when you can shoot back. If I go down fighting, I can be buried in peace. Shot in the back running doesn't do it for me. I have only had one chance to shoot someone in 50 years, and was just to tired to deal with the cops, so just took the gun out and placed it in my pocked so the idiot knew he better move along to easier targets. He got the hint.
Except that is a lie.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/41018893/ns/slate_com/t/armed-giffords-hero-nearly-shot-wrong-man/#.UAocg6PQtqw
So the truth is armed people are more of a danger then good because they don't have the training to make split second decisions and even police make mistakes. I think someone has been watching to many action movies.
Nicely done, Whomitmay.
@View01,
I talked with a guard at the women's prison here in Minnesota. She said that when the Chinese officials toured their facility, they asked what some of the women's sentences were. When they replied "10 years, 15 years, 25 years, life", the Chinese officials laughed and said, "They would never live that long in a Chinese prison."
Maybe that's why the prison population in China isn't that large.
A story you made up and are trying to pass it off as fact. So in your mind you think it would be ok to treat prisoners the same way as dictators. Just more proof how righties just love oppressing others really shows how much they love the country they love so much they want to turn it into a dictatorship.
@whomitmay,
You forgot to call me a racist. That's your usual MO.
The Left doesn't want to hear the truth. Anything they don't like is "made up". If you want to hear the truth, talk to a guard at the Shakopee Women's Facility in Minnesota. I did. Maybe you should too.
Really the only one who has an MO is you. Right because the right doesn't go around making things up. Oh wait that is right that is all the right wing does. ACORN, New black panthers, Sherrod, Fast and Furious just to name a few. Then there is Glen Beck and OxyRush who make a very good living feeding you righties a load of made up crap. Right then you make claims you can not prove but gosh darn it you are telling the truth this time never mind the 999999 posts that you have lied on.
No, it just reiterates you don't shoot someone just because they have a gun.
The only reason to shoot someone is to stop a dangerous attack. A man holding a gun is not a threat if they are not pointing and shooting at someone.
If you are in the theater, it would be simple to determine who is shooting people. Walking around the corner afterwards not so simple.
Only when you are sitting in your home nice and safe. When you are out in the mix the chaos of events has you reacting and the first reaction everyone gets is to run, sorry to burst your hero complex but you will forget your gun and run away just like everyone who doesn't have a gun. Only a fool would pull a gun in a dark movie theater and start blasting. Which is why police are trained to over come reactions and act you as a non-police officer don't have what it takes. Same with military, they are trained to not run when shots are being fired. But then righties are well known for their John Wayne fantasies.
Oh no Drill, drill, drill, the I heard form a friend who heard from a friend, come on!!
But I have to agree there is reason behind wanting peace be prepared for war. As much as I want a liberal, society with love and respect for all, you have to admit it is still a jungle out there.
Off to the Union Post to continue this in the non virtual world.
@Viewer01,
No. What I said was straight from a guard at the Women's Prison in Shakopee Minnesota. It was not a friend of a friend of a friend.
You just don't want to hear the truth.
So say the guys who think free republic is a news source.
What is this 'free republic' you keep talking about?
Your home page.
You know why SpillBaby's all over this? Another gun nut made the news blowing innocent people away, and he's all afraid that someone's going to take his penis extension away. So he's trying to attack and distract everyone from what the real problem is-idiots like him.
Actually Drill verifying data, and getting the facts is a good part of my job description. It requires attention to detail, an analytically ability to connect the dots, and maybe a bit of skepticism. More than skepticism comes to mind reading your posts, I think you need to adjust your tin foil cap.
When seconds count, the police are only minutes away.
What about armed people who do have training but aren't cops? Will you deny them the right to protect themselves too?
It might also interest you to know that you can train for an armed confrontation until you are blue in the face but the truth is you don't know what you'll do until it actually happens. This includes cops, who in spite of their profession have a statistically marginal likelihood of ever being in an armed confrontation where they have to shoot someone.
It just doesn't happen that often.
whomitmay, that is why you train with those 6000 rounds and more, you don't want to think about it, you want to act on it. If you except you will be shot, and it is going to hurt like a mother, but if you don't stop him you are dead, you will be surprised at what you can do. Broken bones don't phase you at all except maybe as a passing thought about how that must have hurt.
Afterwards you will feel it and them some. But in the heat of it, you are clear headed with a focused goal. It is the wildest feeling in the world. And the scariest. Takes me about 2 days to come down from it completely.
A study of Ponerology concluded about seventy years ago, that 6% of the population of the earth, are psychopaths. No pathos no guilt and always looking for way to satisfy their ego. Some pursuit happiness by killing, torturing, some by making money, and it also concluded that 80% of those are politicians. While 39% of the population of the earth follows psychopaths, either because of they are weak and can break out of the system, but most do because they want to belong to a certain clique.
So it is no surprise that evil attracts those looking for power. When a psychopath have accomplish in one area, their own thirst for power moves them to move to another area to master. They lie, cheat, cause distress to others and the most interesting aspect of all this is that because they lack pathos, they HAVE TO IMITATE the actions of those who have pathos. Some look at themselves in the mirror and imitate having grief and some just repeat like a parrot the words with which others have expressed feelings and emotions. If they are in business they prefer to pay fines rather than abide by societal rules that protect the environment, wild life or humans from harm. (Does this sound familiar). There ego is so big that it demands satisfaction of desires and are willing to pay for it. Egoism is a big value to them but admission to this is impossible.
This study has been very interesting to me and the person who did it is already dead, and his name was Andrew M. Lobaczewski. He was one of 400 psychiatrists that study the evilness of the Nazi regime, but during Hitler most were put to death, and he was one of the 16 who was saved. Although Ponerology was picked up again lately, it is still new for some in the profession.
I don't think this guy fits the description of psychopath. That is more fitting of say a vulture capitalist, or Bernie Madoff. This guy is a whole different animal.
this is not the time to be throwing out slurs and hate slack. if you want to be like that then please GO AWAY. today is a tragic day and compassion for each other is how it should be and nothing else.
I agree Billie.
And the uneducated 2% are conservatives still trying to figure out how to tie their shoes.
@whomitmay,
I'd say the uneducated liberals are much higher than 6%. What percentage voted for Obama in the last election? They're the ones that are uneducated. Hopefully they wake up and Change their vote.
Personally, I want my Change back.
Except it is higher then 6% but being righties you just can't resist telling lies. If you think we are going to vote for a turd like don't give a @!$%# Mitt you are more delusional then Reagan was.
Gee, what a no brainer asked by our president.
What would happen if his daughters where at the movies. His goons would not have disarmed as the rest of us would be forced to do, and would shoot back.
That this idiot can't figure out that a man highlighted in a doorway is a sitting duck not an impossible to recognize target.
slackwarerobert You are true representation of the conservative right, and make an important contribution to this site.
Thank you, I pride myself on being honest and not shying away from the truth.
Burned me up about Newt, but I didn't blindly say so what at least he married the women.
Just like you 'knew' the truth about background checks with guns laws 'eh slacker?..LOL. Sad pathetic ppl.
I posted the truth, all dealers must run them for every sale.
You are confusing citizens selling something they owned with a gun dealer.
My prayers are with all the victims and the community, who have to live through this unfortunate tragedy, they have been forced to endure, through no fault of their own..
I also pray that our Country will finally rise to the cause, and will be on one accord, with level heads, May we realize. that this type of massacre, is not going away, As a matter of fact, The plans for the next deranged person to shoot and kill more innocent people, somewhere in our Country, are being made right now, as we mourn for the state of Colorado.
As many times as these type of murderous invasions has happened to innocent people, you would think that some one would have had the guts to stand up to the NRA, and demanded the ban of all assault weapons.. Gun rights has infringed upon to many innocent people in our Country, when are we gonna realize that the people who are getting killed, or maimed by these type of firearms have a rights too.
The right to go to a movie, school, a town hall meeting, or work, has been taken away from the people who choose not to walk around with an assault weapon, because we believe that we have the right to choice too.. These weapons were designed to do exactly what they are doing, killing a lot of people with one round.
Every one have the right to cling to their arms,. and every Mother and Father have that same right to see their Children grow up, and achieve their dreams. No Parent should have to bury their Child. But since the rise of the assault weapons, there are a lot of them who have too..From one community to another, from one state to another, Our prayers, and support are with you Colorado, "AGAIN"
I'm done with this, do not want to hear more, too much. I took my grandson out to dinner to cheer him up, and now we are playing computer games and taking a break. Did you know you can buy guns and ammo on the internet?
and that's a real scary thing to be able to do, mom. scary
So sad but true--yet a person can't register to vote over the internet, go figure--
No, got to be there in person and prove you are who you are, and they need your finger prints and a picture. I did that when I worked for the government. I'm on record....you have to have a clearence of some kind or the other to do a job for them. But not to buy a gun.
Yeah Rachael and you can use your gun permit to vote but not a student I. D. What Is That!!!!!!!!!!!! Repug Clowns.
Rachael with all do respect... The NRA dont have anything to do with it! If you impose more gun laws all your doing is making it harder on on innocent americans who intend to do no harm with a gun to go out and buy one! Its easier to go buy a gun off the street already than a gun shop! But for the sake of argument say you ban guns and get rid of the NRA are you really solving the problem? You cant walk into a store and buy drugs but how hard are they to get if you really want them? There are harsh laws on them and they are already banned but at the end of the day the people who decide to use them are going to get them and use them! The point im trying to make is there are many ways to commit these horrific mass murders! Guns are not the problem! Stupid sick F**** in this world are the problem and you cant prevent all of them from doing things like this. If not a gun it will be a simple car bomb made of everything you need at ur local Home Depot! Sad but true!
Right except that argument holds no water as there are to many nut cases getting their hands on guns as well as the ATF mess you righties whine about shows that because of lax gun laws like in AZ straw gun purchasers can buy guns then hand them off to anybody, like drug dealers in Mexico. No one is talking about banning hunting rifles they are talking about getting rid of military assault weapons with extra large clips that only serve 1 purpose kill as many people as you can. You righties and the NRA have this John Wayne/wild west fantasy going which is based on TV westerns, which are also fantasy as is your fantasy that guns protect you from a dictatorship as we saw during the GWB years, you righties freely gave up rights without so much as a blink of an eye. You were hiding under your beds wetting yourselves begging GWB protect you from imaginary terrorists out to get you. So don't come on Eds blog trying to brag about your bravery, we saw your bravery, you hid and cried help me.
Not scared like you.
Holmes bought all his guns legally.
Thank you NRA.
One two three testing. I am learning to use the nice faces from facebook. Sorry for changing the subject.

Now it doesn's let me delete it?
nice--i like it, every one needs to swap a smile.. we all need one!
I believe this man's name should never have been released, he should loss all rights as a citizen and he should be classified as a terrorist, he is a domestic terrorist and should be treated as such. Any person that does something like this should not be able to get their 15 minutes in the News, but they will and along as we let it happen each one will get worst, because each one will want to out do the last one. It is not just a person on a bus in a foreign country that commits a terrorist act it is right here to. Start sending these people straight to Guantanamo Bay whether they are Americans or not. Watch how fast it stops or at least slows down hopefully.
Just about every oath taken in this country Police, FBI, even the members of congress has these words in it, some if not all of them.
Defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic;
This mean all of us, our country, our government, our buildings and most important our people.
ranmarie--I agree whole-heartily-We just had 17 people shot in our state at a bar, thank God they all survived. It's time to take this issue on by our elected officials. They need to decline campaign money from the NRA- this should be addressed immediately.
Rachael-- I agree with you
i also agree rachel regular citizen's don't need these kinds of wepons. only law enforcement should have them.
Thanks ely--
Right on Rachael.
Limbaugh has made statements about the Batman movie and after these shootings he should be held responsible for losses and for any future actions taken by others.
It would be really sad if Rush's foul mouth had any influence on this tragedy, however,I wouldn't be surprised.
When I heard about this, Limbaugh was the first thing that came to mind.
@-Viewer--My friend called me Today,, and, said the same thing. I just heard the Police Chief say that he had gave them a motive, and that's when i wondered about Rush.. The Crazed Repub-Thugs need to stop all this hateful rhetoric. They don't know who they are inciting, and what they will do..
Things aren't always what they appear to be.
Talking to MD he says hi back Rachael!
what is going on with my post, any way my friend called me today and said the same thing, Rush was the first person to come to mind. I didn't think about Rush until then. The repub thugs need to stop the hateful rhetoric
yes it would be a real shame if rush had an influence. people like him need to be off the air. they are dangerous too.
I am typing double tonight, overtime just ain't no fun!
xxx if it turns out this guy got riled up by that fat head Rush, he better get taken off the air. He does nothing but insight hatred. I wonder if he will ever look back on his life and be ashamed of himself.
Only thing is a neuroscience student, listening to Limbaugh?? I mean that's a bit out of Limbaugh's demographics don't you think.
One guess may be he tried experimenting with some exotic mind altering substance. Like Timothy Leary people in that field have been known to do that.
Of course he could have just been crazy, it is common to see things in photos, you wouldn't otherwise notice if not for the circumstances. But there was a hyper manic look in his eyes.
Yeah we know the stare you are talking about every women married to or is involved with the GOP has the same stare.
Whom, I just turned the tele watching the whole booby trapped apartment thing, and it just occurred to me. The guy was a neuroscience student so; could the bottles of whatever also contain neurotoxins or poison gas?
You do know that it only takes bleach and/or ammonia or lime to make a mustard gas don't you? You really don't need much science to concoct a deadly poisonous gas, people do it all the time with simple cleaning solutions by accident.
Hi everyone, sad news today.
Hey Dawn--Yes Indeed it was!

Hey --- I Had To Listen To That Song ----- Beautiful Song !!!! Makes Me Want to Pick A Guitar And Play !!!!!!!
A little off topic but I heard that people were scalping tickets to the bat movie. And not just a little big buck$!
That's crazy, why would anyone pay extra for a movie. Just go another day, it's not like a concert, only one show.
Really,
I think I will wait on the blockbuster DVD, u never know how many wacko's are out there.
I'm not a huge fan of batman any way-I like a good ole thriller, or a comedy movie.
One of the "witnesses" came from california, to watch a movie. Guess moonbeam is not taxing them enough, or so much it is cheaper to drive to another state to see a movie. They didn't ask him which it was sadly.
I'm with you Rachael. The theater is too expensive anyways.
Some people are just have bats in their belfry!
funny, bats in their belfry, I needed a little chuckle.
