Slate Plays Loose With Facts Over Concealed Carrier's Arizona Actions
2011-01-14 21:30:00 -By Warner Todd Huston Contrary to Senator Moynihan's proclamation, Slate's William Saletan thinks he's entitled to his own facts. If not his own facts, then his own version of history at any rate. Anti-Second Amendment Saletan dreamed up his own little set of incidents and actions in order to castigate pro-Second Amendment supporters by claiming that something that didn't happen could have happened and that, ipso facto, because it could have the Second Amendment is bad -- all this based on his dreamy little dream of an alternate history.

After Arizona tragedy, it's time to dial down the political rhetoric
2011-01-10 16:15:00 We have been living in a highly charged political climate. In that environment, Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and 19 others were shot outside of a grocery store where the Congresswoman held an event Saturday afternoon in Tucson, Arizona. After the attack on the Congresswoman, many people are coming forward asking for more civility in our political discourse. Arizona Republican Representative Trent Franks said that we need to be more tolerant of each other and opposing viewpoints. "True tolerance is not pretending to have no differences. It's being kind and decent to each other in spite of those differences.... Ultimately, if we don't have a more loving respect for each other we really have no hope as a society."

Raul Grijalva?s Office Hit By Terrorist Attack In Arizona
2010-10-22 17:16:00 From an email by Daily Kos Markos Moulitsas, the Progressive Caucus Co-chair Raul Grijalva (D - Arizona) is fighting for his reelection life in Arizona because he was against that state's psychotic illegal immigration law SB 1070. Rep. Raul Grijalva?s Office has been hit now by not one, but two terrorist attacks, the latest one in a mail that had "An envelope arrived with swastikas drawn on the outside and a white powdery substance on the inside," said Adam Sarvana, Grijalva?s spokesman. This is scary. It's enough for Arizona to have people so screwed up they have to pass laws to feed their racism, but to go the extra mile and threaten the life of a political candidate is criminal.

He closed his Tucson and Yuma offices as a result...In July, after he called off the boycott, staffers found a bullet and a shatter...
