"One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up." — Arthur Koestler

I Blame Rachel Maddow!

And why not? If you Google her name with Chick-fil-A and Family Research Council, you get more than 450,000 hits. It therefore should be obvious that Maddow’s hateful rhetoric against Chick-fil-A and Family Research Council incited today’s shooting at FRC’s office in Washington, D.C.

Mataconis, emphasis mine: As I noted on Sunday, it strikes me that Romney’s campaign will be making a serious error if they allow this election to be about anything other than the economy.
