Wackos to the Left of me; wackos to the Right *UPDATED*

I do not have any reason to believe that the two events are related.  Nevertheless, yesterday’s murder of George Tiller, and today’s shooting at a Navy recruiting center are starck reminders that there are crazy people out there, and that crazy people have political and ideological beliefs and allegiances, the same as everyone else.

In other words, the issue is craziness, it’s not the ideology driving the crazy person.  Some crazy people latch onto Martians, some to the Devil, some to the pro-Life movement, some to the anti-War movement, etc.  The problem isn’t the particular belief system, it’s that some people want to kill aned seek a cause to justify the killing.

UPDATE:  As you’ve probably already discovered, the Left is already waffling on about a global threat to all abortion providers and about how it destroys the message of the pro-Life movement that one of “their own” committed a killing.  I’m not holding my breath for the Left to start waffling on about a domestic threat to the American military from people who have been drinking from the anti-War Kool-Aid for so many years.  Likewise, even though the killer was an African-American man who converted to Islam (kind of like those guys with the great idea to bomb synagogues of military bases), I won’t hold my breath for the Left to start making noises about the domestic threat to all Americans from radical Islam or prison converts.
