   "politicizing" tragedy   
   18 Dec 12 18:23:15   
   
   Excerpt from internet article:   
      
   And so here we are smack in the middle of a debate frenzy over gun control ---   
   and who didn't know this was where this tragedy was going to go as soon as the   
   news started breaking.   
      
   Where were the first comments on gun control come from after the shootings?    
   From liberals.  From Democrats.  You had New York Congressman Jerold Nadler, a   
   Democrat.  Then there was Roger Moore ... an unidentifiable species.  Obama   
   hinted at the need for more gun control legislation in his otherwise exemplary   
   statement on Friday afternoon. But ... let's remember Rahm's Law:  "Never let   
   a good disaster go to waste."   It became clear very quickly that the left was   
   going to manipulate the nation's horror and sadness into a quick acceptance of   
   additional laws restricting the law-abiding citizen's right to own a firearm.   
      
   Then - oddly enough - as soon as conservatives and Republicans stepped forward   
   to comment on the shootings; suggesting, for instance, that one teacher or   
   administrator with access to a firearm might have saved lives; the left   
   immediately erupted into accusations that the Republicans were "politicizing"   
   this horrible tragedy.  Jerold Nadler, Chuck Schumer, Roger Moore --- they   
   weren't politicizing.  Only conservatives were doing that.  Yeah --- right.
