Rush Limbaugh is of course angrily denying that the amount of anger spilling from the media has anything to do with the shooter.

But we certainly thought that the Muslim Major who shot up his Army unit was influenced by angry viewpoints.
All normal people can understand that political anger is not a justification for mass murder. But there are many deranged people who cannot make a distinction between angry rhetoric and violence.
It still seems to me that all the media and the bloggers for that matter should tone done their vitriol. An increase in civility would be a welcome change in this country.
