If they are serious, you bet. I took his point as a "this is how you sound, please stop" example, and notably, a lot of people were PO'd, but the thing is, those same people dismissed it when it came from their side of the aisle. Using crises for political game is wrong, and it is in fact an Alinsky tactic.
Dismissed it when it came from their side of the aisle?
Like you just did with Kal, coming up with excuses and justifications for why your double standard is okay? How was your argument any different than what you're claiming here.
I've criticized those who IMMEDIETELY spring into "MORE GUN LAWS" in the immediete wake of these tragedies, and I criticize those who IMMEDIETELY spring into push against gun laws in relation to them as well. Both sides hate to let a good crisis go to waste because they realize the tender political meat that presents itself. As demonstrated...god forbid we even let an hour or two go by, information to come out, emotions to settle before we immedietely launch into our political wars. That'd just be unfathomable to those who are feverishly and pathetically dedicated to their no-holds-barred, at all costs, partisan battles.
