So dumb I shouldn't respond

The attempts to blame the Tea Party, Sarah Palin, anti-immigration, Rush Limbaugh, et al, for the massacre by Jared Loughner in Arizona are almost so dumb that it's laughable.  The older I get, the less I care to respond to outright stupidity.  But, because it's always been a modus operandi of progressives to tell a big lie so often that they think people will simply relent and believe it, it's worth a response.

Steve Sailer has a couple good postings about it on his blog, http://isteve.blogspot.com/
This quote sums it up...

The real issue isn't one maniac's psyche, of course, it's what has been revealed over the last four days about the psyches of the people who have the media bullhorn. 

At this link is an interesting psychological analysis of P. Z. Myers, who supposedly, but quite apparently not, is big on approaching things scientifically:   http://telicthoughts.com/pz-myers-a-case-study/

Finally, let me just say that I think (and my opinion on this has grown stronger over the years), that Joe Scarborough is a pansy faux-conservative.  I think he loves his job and his bosses at the ultra-left-wing MSNBC much more than the supposed principles he held as a congressman in the Republican revolution of 1994.  He kinda sorta defended Sarah Palin when some of his colleagues went after her on his show, but he also seemed to want to do a kumbya-meet-in-the-middle thing where he was just a little concerned about some of the language she used.  What the heck?  I'm no big Sarah Palin fan.  But anyone who's been accused mercilessly over and over again in the media of being a catalyst behind a mass shooting certainly has every right to defend herself.  One of Joe's buddies said something to the effect that there was too much in Palin's statement "about her".  Well.... yeah.... she wasn't exactly the one that started that dialogue.

But... Sarah Palin... I was sorry to see her wimp out and take down the picture with the targets from her web site.  If you don't know the difference between metaphorically "targeting" something for change and actually wanting to shoot the people involved, then I doubt your own mental health.  Or, at the very least, your desire to be reasonable.

You see a theme here, don't you?  On some issues, people can simply disagree, and although you might think the other side is being stupid, ignorant, unreasonable, obstinate, or whatever, you might not be able to explicitly link it to some serious psychological problem.  In this instance, however, it appears there's a case to be made.
