You can't have it both ways.
You post a quote saying that the killer wasn't left and he wasn't right, but just before that you equate the killer with Olberman and expect an apology from those that want to indirectly link the killer's actions with political rhetoric.
How is that not hypocritical?
Furthermore, how is it such a stretch to believe that a constant drumbeat of violent metaphors might lead some already mentally unstable individuals to the wrong conclusion that violence is an acceptable course of action? To be clear, the people beating the drums are not directly responsible for the actions of the deranged, but they are certainly providing a beat for the lunatics to dance to. And drums are being beaten on both sides of the aisle.
I'm not certain that I believe the statements coming from the parents. They weren't in tune with how crazy he was, which should be more obvious than what stations he may have watched or listened to. I'd be more interested in what his browser history tells us.
