    Hasan is a wimpy baby who makes money on the existence of the right wing. He is to scared to rejoice in a good thing.

      I’ve noticed that half the media freakout is mid-level political commentators coming to terms with the idea that they can also be victims.

      The fact that a lot of left commentators are realizing this along with the rightoids is a little disturbing because where have they been in the last several decades of escalating right-wing violence?

      Why would he celebrate the assassination of a political commentator when he holds the same exact job title

        Why would a soldier want an enemy soldier to get killed when they have the same job title

          They are not soldiers. They do not kill each other.

          They shout at each other on camera. Their animosity is probably exaggerated. At least one commentator brought up meeting him in person, in a debate, as a reason his death affected them more. Soldiers rarely meet opposing soldiers in such good terms as even the spiciest debate.

          There is a reason propaganda needs to dehumanize and otherize the “enemy”.
