[Hoot Gibson]

Old School called him a left wing nut job. I was merely saying that the kid was probably more right. Now that you say he was registered independent, I think even more that he is right wing. The facts lean more toward him being right than left. One thing for sure is, he is a nut job. Palin said "to put them in your sights." I guess he took her to mean literal.

Maybe he thought the Senator had a knife on her.

When they bring a knife, we bring a gun. - Barrack Obama

Or maybe what set him off was not being able to follow some other Obama advice.

“I need you to go out and talk to your friends and talk to your neighbors. I want you to talk to them whether they are independent or whether they are Republican. I want you to argue with them and get in their face.“

This guy does not fit anywhere on the political spectrum and there is at least as much hate speech from the right than there is the left.
