    You can bet the perpetrator will be labeled a ‘Right Wing Extremist’ by the State Run Media. People still think Lee Harvey Oswald was a Right Wing Extremist even though he was an out spoken Communist.

    Muslim extremists can’t be right. If they are, they risk disillusioning some of their best useful idiots in Congress.

    So far, news reports that only the perpetrator is deceased. One police officer was hit by the punks car, no report on his/her condition.

    Thanks for the RT Michelle.

    Capitol police were making a routine traffic stop when the driver of the car fled, headed for the capitol. About a block away the driver got out of the car with a gun and ignored verbal commands from the police, who then fired at and fatally wounded the suspect

    Clearly a case of police brutality.

    Don’t be too quick. I’m sure there is a lawyer out there who would gladly argue that case, and probably get the family maney through at least a settlement.

    Sorry, Michelle, but this posting doesn’t pass the “And…” or the “So what?” tests.

    no no no Regulus, you don’t understand, it was *gasp* “near the capital”!

    Somehow the media thinks they are going to scare people into worrying about the safety of a bunch of idiots who have nothing to do with us anymore.

    Wanna bet that a number of Congresscritters were panicking, reaching for their Go-Bags, and trying to get out of harm’s way ASAP? Most would probably run over children and old women to get to safety (”after all, I’m too important to die”). I am sure there was at least 85% of them wishing they wore brown pants today.

    Especially since most are craven cowards whose biggest fears are facing the American public. Not a pair of ‘nads among the group.

    Didn’t even get close to the Senate area. Security is extremely tight there these days…with all the corruptocrats in DC, they are watching their backs very carefully. A LOT of people hate their guts.

    5:55 P.M.: Shots reported near senate building. All networks immediately shift coverage to this breaking news. Senate lockdown occurs, no one allowed in or out. Capital police give press details.
    6:00 P.M.: President Obama reports that despite gunfire, senate lockdown, and media blackout, congress passed health care bill, cap and trade bill, increased their salaries by 50%, then departed D.C. via secret tunnels for vacation. Obama signed everything into law at 6:01 P.M. and then left with family to attend important Monte Carlo gambling and shopping event after reaffirming to adoring media that “recovery is on-track and that he would respect America in the morning”.

    Back in the early ’90s, this would’ve been known as “another day in paradise.” At least the perp is dead; the D.C. taxpayer already has enough on his plate.

    They’re making a big deal out of this because conservatives are pissed at congress…despite all the shootings in DC on a daily basis.

    This is a bunch of rubbish. So is Obama and the Demonrat party.

    You had me up until this point. Everyone knows Obama doesn’t sign anything without flying halfway across the country and staging a big media circus for several hundred thousands dollars of the taxpayers money.

    Darn it. It wouldn’t have hurt to lose a few politicians along with the criminal.

    I remember a great scene in Lonesome Dove, where Captain Call rides into a small town in New Mexico, and notices the scaffolding being built for a hanging.

    Call says to the wheelwright, “Lotta people here to watch the hanging”. Wheelwright says, “Yeah, and this one’s bad. Muy malo”. Call asks eagerly: “Who is it, a politician?”

    Matters not. Let the next “crisis” begin. 2nd Amendment, here they come.
