at least so long as we have depleted human residue in our can't-keep-up backwaters (after all of the smart, ambitious young people leave at high school graduation for generations, never to return).

Pat Robertson is very popular in the sticks.  Far more popular than reason, science, tolerance, progress, education, achievement, or diversity. A hit with people who see street pills, revival meetings, tobacco, sketchy disability claims, failth healers, lottery tickets, bigotry, cheap sixers, and Donald J. Trump as solutions to their problems.

Choose reason, folks.  Every time.  Especially over sacred ignorance and dogmatic intolerance. 

CBS Corp. Vice President not sympathetic to victims of the shooting because most country music fans are Republican. TJNFL1 Oct 02, 22:41

Right on cue! Finding them cherries to pick so you can fan the flames of your partisanship and turn tragedy into your asset against liberals {nm} BSmurf Oct 03, 07:34

It's a sad example of the divide in the US. But what she says is factually correct. dubord.s Oct 03, 09:05

Of course she should be sympathetic to the victims. She doesn’t know their individual positions on gun control, and if she did, who cares? RogerMore Oct 03, 09:23

All I'm saying is it's up to each individual to be sympathetic or not. Some heartless people will say "serves them right". {nm} dubord.s Oct 03, 09:49

And I'm saying that she's not only heartless, but also factually incorrect. {nm} RogerMore Oct 03, 10:26

What was factually incorrect about her statement? Do tell. {nm} dubord.s Oct 03, 10:30

She didn't know the victims' views on gun control as a fact, she was making an assumption. {nm} RogerMore Oct 03, 11:05

but even if she did (and it's probably a good bet that a lot of them held some form of those views) they're no less deserving of sympathy {nm} slipping jimmy Oct 03, 11:17

She said "bc country music fans often are Republican gun toters" which is factually correct. dubord.s Oct 03, 11:17

OK, so it’s really a logical leap then. I just don’t like the implication that her position is understandable because it’s “factually correc {nm} RogerMore Oct 03, 11:27

It's understandable based on logic. This just happens to be a situation where logic should be shelved for basic human decency. {nm} dubord.s Oct 03, 11:39

There’s a logical leap between “more people in this group are pro gun than pro gun control” and “no sympathy for anyone in that group” {nm} RogerMore Oct 03, 12:13

When will alleged "good" Christians stand up and denounce this radical cleric? /s {nm} BSmurf Oct 03, 10:56
