Yeah, I'm gonna go there.

So there's a thread on coleoptera's facebook in which (very loosely summarized) coleoptera calls for the victims to sue Sarah Palin, and LF decries the implicit blame assignment as a formal logical fallacy

Michele Bachmann telling supporters to be armed and dangerous..

Full quote from Bachmann, in context:
And I am going to have materials for people when they leave. I want people in Minnesota armed and dangerous on this issue of the energy tax because we need to fight back. Thomas Jefferson told us, having a revolution every now and then is a good thing, and the people - we the people - are going to have to fight back hard if we’re not going to lose our country. And I think this has the potential of changing the dynamic of freedom forever in the United States and that's why I want everyone to come out and hear. So go to bachmann.house.gov and you can get all the information.

That's a level four, Jeff? Wanting to arm people with information? The "materials" that she's referring to to make people "armed and dangerous" are talking points and documents available at her website.

Such bullshit from you, Jeff. Even though you're just copying it from Krugman, who was quoting Think Progress, it's still bullshit.

Poor choice of words by her maybe, but it's not any more seriously a "level four" than President Obama's "if they bring a knife, you bring a gun."

I await your lambasting of President Obama for his "level four" statement.

I confess that my primary policy concern from this unfortunate incident is the ready availability of dangerous weapons to schizophrenics, who could never qualify as part of a "well-regulated militia."
